"Girl, alam mo naman siguro na medyo epal ka kanina sa meeting 'no?" Anna's comments as she deliberately tries to keep up with my pace but her efforts are turning futile.
Let me just set the records straight. Hindi ko kasalanan kung boring yung meeting. I mean, it was so boring I'd rather read the yellow pages than be part of that meeting. It brought the word boredom to another level. Plus, I basically own this company so if I don't stifle my yawns or if I keep my phone ringing, I'll do that.
We managed to get in my office but it seems like Anna is not yet done with questioning me. "Eh ano ba kasing napakahirap sa pag-sagot sa isang simpleng tanong?"
"Why is it hard for you to just let your boss do what she wants to do?"
My response made her squint her eyes so hard and raise her eyebrows. "Oh, you didn't just use the Boss card on me."
Well, if it wasn't obvious, sorry if I did it terribly but I just did. I used the boss card on you. I just can't understand it kasi. Why is not answering a phone call a big deal? As if naman na hindi ko pa nagawang hindi sumagot ng tawag.
"Well, hindi naman kasi basta ibang tao iyon. That's Hero. Remember him? He just called you for like 15 times in the span of 20 minutes. That's saying something and wala ka lang ginagawa!"
Wala akong nasabi sa observation niya, I just continued skimming through contracts and documents while she was eyeing me as she waits for an answer. I just hope that my pretension would go well against the pushy personality of my bestfriend spawned from the depths of hell.
After a few seconds, she took my attention when she suddenly stood up with her eyes wild open. "Iniiwasan mo ba siya kasi nag-sex kayong dalawa?! Oh baka naman you forced yourself to him?! Teka, did you took advantage of him?!"
Really? Seriously? Well, to be honest, I don't mind having sex with Hero. I mean, he's one of those rare meat in the market that you surely would want to devour but the hell?! Why would I take advantage or even force myself to him? Ang baba naman ng tingin nitong kaibigan ko para pag-isipan akong molester! I mean, I could easily charm my way to Hero's pants if I want to and she knows I can do that kaya saan galing yung mga pinagsasabi nitong babaeng 'to?
"If not, then bakit hindi mo siya pinapansin?! And oh you not go and deny it dahil halata naman." I was to cut her off to answer na pinapansin ko naman yung tao but she got into it faster than I could. "If you've just seen the guy! Hindi mo sinasagot mga tawag niya and you're not letting him see you! Heck, you even rejected his formal request to meet you! Anong meron, Drew?"
I know, I know. I'll admit it. I'm giving Hero the cold shoulders. But that's because I don't have the face to talk to him! I can't even manage to look at him without feeling bad! Seeing him would make me fe how evil I am again. And feeling evil is something that I don't want to feel again! I mean, I know I'm already wicked and such pero I do not need someone being a literal walking reminder of how bad I am.
Yes, I still feel bad. Three days after the incident, I still have not forgotten anything that had happened that day. I guess I am sounding so shallow right now but I am taking things seriously. I handle those very few people that I have in my life with extreme care kaya hindi uubra sa akin ang mga nangyari.
Oh and just to inform you, this has happened to me before. With Anna no less than. There was a time that I forgot Anna's birthday just because I was so busy defending my thesis that time together with piles of school stuff that I had to work on. I was so preoccupied that I lost track of time and reality just slapped me hard when I saw floods of greetings from people we know sa social media account ni Anna.
