The Misadventures of Seduction (COMPLETED)

Kabanata 18

Caught

I guess playing dirty is your middle name huh, Calliego?

But I'll wait for you to tire yourself  out before attacking.

"Totoo ba 'to?" Sabi ni Cleopatra habang nakahawak sa buhok ko. Tumango ako sakanya at pilit na kinuha ang buhok paramakapag-bun na. "Anong tawag sa ganyang kulay?"

"French vanilla blonde." Sabi ko dito at inayos na ang buhok nang bitawan na niya ito. I sprayed on my bangs and looked at my reflection to scan any dirt on my face.

"Sure kang 'di iyan wig? O baka naman pinakulayan mo lang?"

"I don't like dying my hair."

"Ows? 'Di pa rin ako naniniwala."

O edi huwag kang maniwala.

"Filipina ka ba talaga?"

Tumango ako ulit.

"Half."

Hindi na siya namansin at nang-irap nalang.

"Ang daya ang ganda ng buhok mo."

Umalis na siya at hindi na bumaling sa akin. She's the Entertainment's princess. Nakakabiglang pinansin niya ako dahil sabi nila'y maarte, maldita at mainggitin ang babae. It doesn't matter. What matters now is what Calix will do next.

Alam niyo namang atat kaming maggantihan at magsakitan, eh.

I've done my research last night and saw that when two companies are merging, they fire employees that do the same job. Paano kami? Marami kaming mananayaw. But of course being the jerk that he is, he will fire me.

Even without proper notice.

He can do it legally. Pero ano bang alam ko sa ganito? Ugh. I think I'm gonna need Lina.

But what I need to propose to avoid being fired because of his personal agenda is something that can catch the eyes of other people. If he wants to do it personal, I don't care. I could raise my middle finger in front of him for him to see.

Nang makapasok si Ms. Matilda ay lumapit ako sakanya para magcourtesy katulad ng ginagawa namin kay Keziah. Nagulat ako nang ang iba ay hindi pumunta but I still did it anyway.

Nagulat pa si Ms. Matilda. Umirap nalang siya para pagtakpan ang pagkamangha sa mukha.

Why? Don't they do that?

I shrugged it out and went to my happy place while dancing. Katabi ko sa unahan si Cleopatra na inirapan ako agad. Probably not used to sharing the spotlight.

Natapos ang pagtetraining na hindi na ako sinisigawan ni Ms. Matilda. I focused hard para kung sakali mang magtanggal nga ng employees ang entertainment, hindi naman ako ipagdikdikan ni Ms. Matilda.

Paalis na sana ako nang magka-company call. Pinapunta kami sa auditorium upang magsabi ng announcement.

Hindi pa man nagtatagal ay may mga taong lumabas at nag-ayos ng mike at umalis rin nang makita na ang kakausap samin ngayon.

It's Vohn Montegrande. One of our family friends. A traitor to my family if he agrees with the merging of DC Entertainment and Montegrande Entertainment!

"Good Afternoon, as you may know, DC Entertainment proposed to merge their entertainment to ours. We may have to decide firing employees since we both have the same tracks in industry. This is effective for next week. DC Entertainment's dancers are expected to be here and I would like to see you on your best behavior. I respect all your opinions but only mine matters, thank you." Masungit na sabi nito at umalis na.
