"Ano bang pumasok sa kokote niyo at nag-away kayo roon?!" galit na tanong ni Daddy Rodge habang ako ay nakatayo lang sa gilid. Si Mara ay nakaupo habang patuloy na umiiyak at nakakapit kay Zarachiel.

I smirked.

"Airis, kakagaling mo lang sa suspension, 'di ba? You might get terminated because of what you did!" Daddy Rodge said angrily while looking at me.

Bahagya kong iniyuko ang aking ulo dahil sa pagtaas ng boses ni Daddy Rodge. The termination of my contract is no longer a big deal as long as I was able to stand for myself. Bakit ako papadaig kay Mara na mukhang die hard fan ko kaya todo kung magpapansin?

"I was just instructing her regarding the guidelines in chat tapos bigla na lang siyang magagalit. She's obviously taking it personally!" ani Mara kaya inangat ko ang aking ulo para matignan siya.

My brows furrowed. "Does insulting me is part of the guidelines that you're supposed to teach? Hindi naman, 'di ba?"

"You just don't know how to value your work properly! Gusto mo kasi na nasa monitoring ka lang para mapadali ang buhay mo!"

"Enough, Mara! I told you to shut it!" pag-awat ni Zarachiel bago ako sinulyapan. "I'm sorry, Air..."

Tila may humampas sa aking dibdib nang malakas itong kumabog. Napalunok ako sa hindi malamang dahilan at 'tsaka ko itinago ang aking mga kamay sa aking likuran. Hindi ko na magawang tignan pa si Zarachiel matapos niyang sabihin iyon sa akin.

He doesn't have to say sorry for something that he never did. It won't correct Mara's mistakes as well so why would he do that? Does he wants to clear Mara's name for the sake of their relationship? Kung sila nga ay baka talagang ganoon nga ang plano? Hindi ko alam. I don't even want to know.

"I do understand, Mara, but Airis is not a chat agent." ani Daddy Rodge. "You can pull her out to do chat but you need my consent for that. Ako pa rin ang head TL dito together with the other head TLs,"

Gusto kong ngisian si Mara sa narinig ko. I maybe an all around agent here but she can't just pull me out whenever she wants to. Hindi naman porque client siya ay masusunod na siya. Hindi niya muna inaalam kung marunong ba ako sa chat o hindi, at kapag nagkaroon ako ng escalation ay sila ang mananagot.

I rolled my eyes.

"I don't care, alright? I want her out of this company!" paghihisterikal niya.

May sasabihin pa sana si Daddy Rodge nang may biglang dumating na babaeng nakasuot ng isang pulang dress at mataray na mataray ang dating ng kaniyang mukha. Tinaasan niya pa ako ng kilay bago niya nilapitan si Mara at 'tsaka ito hinalikan sa pisngi.

That's the head client of our company. Yeah, Marina is her name, I guess?

"You're the mere stupid agent who hurt my daughter?" aniya sa isang nakakainsultong tono. Sinipat niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa bago siya humalakhak. "Ang kapal naman ng mukha mong hampaslupa ka?"

"Tita, that's enough." ani Zarachiel sabay layo kay Mara. Lumapit sa aking gilid si Zarachiel at 'tsaka ako hinawakan sa braso.

Tinignan ko lang si Zarachiel habang pakurap-kurap pa ako. He's trying to protect me from these witches in front of us. Somehow, gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. Hindi ko maramdaman ang takot sa kung ano mang bagay na mangyayari pa lang dahil alam kong nandiyan si Zarachiel. He's there to guide and protect me. Zarachiel won't do anything to disappoint me.

"Your daughter started it, Ma'am Marina." ani Daddy Rodge. "I think you need to teach her some lessons as well. Hindi dahil agent ko si Air ay kakampihan ko na siya, talagang may pagkakamali lang si Mara na dapat din itama."
