I'M DRUNK, I WANT YOU (A MayWard Fanfiction) ✔

X. You Again

Maymay smiled in satisfaction as she put the last piece of her flower figurine collection on her new office table. She just got promoted to be the secretary of the new VP of Finance of their company and today, she will finally meet her boss. A young man who, according to the rumors, is the son of their CEO. She also heared that he just came back from the US too after handling the same position at MB Corp New York headquarters for the last five years.

She sighed. To be honest she actually feels a bit nervous but it was nothing compared to the joy of acquiring such opportunity, especially when she received the good news right after her crazy vacation in Ilocos.

Ilocos.

The passing of that place's name automatically triggered some memories in her head. But what's weird is none of those are even remotely related to Vic, his fiancee, their wedding nor even to her supposedly broken heart. Crazy enough, all she could remember are those spotaneous, passionate moments, that she shared with a stranger whose two letter name she's sure she will never ever forget from then on.

Suddenly she shook her head, trying to immediately stop the flow of her thoughts.

No! Enough Marydale!

The moment she came back to Manila, she had already decided after all. She promised to herself that she will put all of those memories, every single thing about that night, completely behind the curtains of the past; specifically that of how she practically offered her virginity to a handsome stranger like an utter imbecile.

Oh forget it! It was just a mistake! A one beautiful, crazy mistake so just forget it. You won't be able to see him again anyway. She thought to herself.

But somehow it brought a sudden rush of sadness and disappointment in her chest.

With that she shook her head once again. "Nabuang na talaga 'ko."

She'll stop thinking about him and about what happened in Ilocos. She needs too for her own sake. Now that she's given another chance to start anew with this promotion, she ain't gonna waste it for nothing.

Just focus on work May. You can do this!

With that mindset her smile returned to her face.

On that same instant though the door to their new office opened (she and her boss practically share the same office now with only a thin wall of see-through glass for partition) and Mr. Marcus Escolte, the executive secretary of Catherine Manzano-Barber, the MB Corp Philippines CEO, entered the room followed by a guy in a gray suit which she pressumed is her new boss.

She immediately stood up to welcome them.

"Good morning Ms. Entrata." Mr. Escolte greeted.

"Good morning Mr. Escolte. Good morning Mr. Bar......ber?!"

Her words faltered as her face contoured with astonishment when the face of the man behind Mr. Escolte finally came into her full view.

"Ms. Entrata I want you to meet our new Vice President of Finance, Mr. Edward John Barber."

Edward smiled widely and offered his hand to her.

"Nice to finally meet you Ms. Marydale Entrata." He mused, purposedly stressing on the 'Dale' part of her name.

She glanced in between his face and hand simultaneously for a few seconds and then finally, her jaw dropped.

You've got to be kidding me!
