The Bitter, The Better (Salvador Series #1)

Chapter 32: Mr. Hernando

Pagpasok ko agad ng building ay hindi ko inaasahan ang makikita ko. It's Zander, sitting on the couch habang kausap ang isang balingkinitan na babae at nakangiti pa siya.

Maybe it is his girlfriend. But I can't see the face of the girl dahil na rin nakatalikod ito. I clenched my teeth, nakakabwisit ng umaga yung mga ganitong tanawin. Kung magpatupad kaya ako ng 'STRICTLY NO LANDIAN IN MY COMPANY AND BUILDING'?

Bitter ba? Pake ko, nakakagigil eh. Aga aga naninira ng araw. Makita ko pa yang babae na yan mamaya, makakatikim to ng pakpak na sira. Dadalhin ko siya sa helipad ng building na to at itutulak kasama ang pakpak na sira na ibibigay ko sa kaniya. Tignan natin kung makalandi pa!

Sa sobrang titig ko sa kanilang dalawa ay saka ko lang napansin na nagtama pala ang tingin namin ni Zander. Isa pa yan na mga titig niya, kahit gaano ako kagalit at nabibiwist ay natutunaw naman ako kaagad!

I just rolled my eyes and fix it in front of me. Daretso na lakad sa elevator ang ginawa ko at hindi na sila tinapunan ng tingin. My stare is not worth it if I'll just use it to stare to his girl and their what so called kalandian. Sa building ko pa talaga!!

Tumunog ang elevator kaya naman lumabas na ako at dumaretso sa paglalakad papunta sa office ko. I look around and watch each cubicle, they're all greeting me at ginantihan ko lang sila ng ngiti.

Napakasobrang plastic ko naman na kung sasabihan ko pa sila ng good morning kahit hindi naging good ang morning ko. Hindi ko  rin naman sila gustong sabihan ng kahit 'morning' kasi muntanga lang, malapit nang maglunch time at hindi na yun morning.

"Good morning, Miss Salvador. I am Melandro Picastro, your assigned secretary." salubong sa akin ng isang lalaki na nakatayo sa harap ng table ko at may hawak na iPod.

Tinanguan ko lang siya at dumaretso sa swivel chair ko. Hindi pa rin naalis sa isipan ko ang mga nakita kong kalandian talking session sa baba. Nakakaimbyerna ng araw.

It's still almost noon time yet I can see myself being stuck with a bad mood for the whole day. I wish Riri and Alli is here just like when I am in New York.

I'm sure they will come immediately in my office just to mess me up and give me a hard time. But those things are the ones that gives me happiness. Lahat ng pambabara ni Riphally at ang pagiging sweet talkative ni Allison.

Not that I don't have a friend here in Philippines to come and join me, but Banny? I just don't want to disturb or be a bother to her life, especially now that she already found the one who can truly accept her despite the fact that she is a transgender, and that's in the person of Ralph.

"Tell me my schedule for today. And please stop calling me Miss Salvador. Miss Kacy is enough." I said and then focus my eyes on the files on my table. Sales report pala to.

Sinimulan nang sabihin ni Mel ang mga scheduled meetings ko for today. At ang pinakakinakabahan ko ay ang board meeting which will happen in just an hour. Paano kung nandon si Zander? Wait, is he even one of the board members?

"Mel?" pagtawag ko sa atensiyon niya. "Are you familiar with all the board members?"

"Opo. Si Mrs. Rina Villa Fuego, siya ang may pinakamataas na share sa kompaniya. Walang sariling kompaniya but she invested here, one daughter and no husband.

Mr. William Clarkson, bachelor. 24 years old, CEO of Clarkson Machineries. Sa kanila rin kumukuha ang kompaniya ng mga food processing machine.

Mr. Vendery Delmarava, single, president of Vension Fashion and Magazine company. Well, he is your cousin." I raised a brow.
