Aurum Mendoza, CPA. Basa niya sa I'D na hawak niya, ngayon kasi ito binigay dahil ngayon lang daw ito natapos at marami pang ginawa dahil sa dami ng empleyado sa kompanyang ito. May bago kasi itong system na ginamit para mas upgraded yong security system, kaya kinuha yong mga lumang I.D nila para palitan, at ito na nga. Okay lang naman kung late at least meron.
"Te girl may meeting daw ang accounting department dahil bago na ang may-ari, yong anak daw ni sir Don" sabi ni ate Alex
"Bakit anong nangyari kay sir Don?"
"Last time nabalitaan ko nasa hospital daw, I don't know kung ano na ang lagay ni bossing" sabi ni lex
"Para saan daw yong meeting? Baka tatanggalin na tayong lahat ate lex"
"Kala mo naman talaga may mawawala sayo pag natanggal ka dito eh ewan ko nga sayo kung bat ka nagtyatyaga dito eh mayaman ka naman"
"Nako ate Lex magulang ko ang mayaman hindi ako, tyaka tigil tigilan mo ko sa mga ganyang usapan baka mabilaukan si daddy o kaya's makagat nya ang dila at maisipan nanaman akong tawagan"
"Naku Aurum kelan mo ba kasi balak bumalik sa inyo, halos 1 taon ka ng nasa lansangan natutulog" sabi nya ng parang nang-a-asar
"Ate lex naman, alam nating pareho na pag bumalik ako baka ipakasal nanaman Ako doon sa kung sino mang lalaki yon na pinagpipilitan ni mama dahil anak daw ng amiga nya. At anong sinasabi mong sa lansangan ako natutulog, baliw to!"
"Eh panong di ka hahanapan nila tita ng mapapangasawa? Lampas ka na ng kalendaryo next year. Papayag ba yon wala syang masisilayang apo bago mamatay. Isa pa yang si tito na consistent din ko makapaghanap sayo parang pulis na laging nagpupunta sa bahay at imbestigador na laging tumatawag. Ilabas na daw kita at nauubos na ang pasensya nya nako girl yare ka kay tito. Btw, naghahanap daw ng bagong sekretarya dahil nagresign na si Justine dahil ikinasal at gustong mag focus sa buhay may pamilya, sana all"
"Anong oras ba, baka naman late na tayo kakadaldal mo ate"
"11:30 pa may pa lunch din ata hahahaha. 30mins pa mag aayos muna ako jan ka muna kita nalang tayo sa taas"
"Sige te salamat pasabi kay Daddy mahal ko kamo sya haahaha"
"Loka loka, bye"
11:30 pa? Ano ba yan 30 mins pa. Punta nga muna kong cafe.
"Isa pong Black coffee to go ate. Yon lang" nagbayad na rin ako ng sakto para sa di na mahirapan si ate
"Okay po ma'am just a sec."
"Napaka pait naman non, isa nga pong Creamy coffee to go din ate" sabi ng lalaking nasa kabilang cashier, di ko nalang pinansin dahil baka di naman ako ang kausap masabihan pa kong feeling close, sakto namang dumating na si ate jane
"Here you go ma'am Aurum thank you"
"Salamat ate Jane" as I walk towards the lobby nararamdaman kong sumasabay sakin yong lalaking nasa kabilang cashier kanina kaya humarap na ko sa kanya.
"So you're name is Aurum? I'm Luke btw, nice to meet you" Sabay kamot sa batok at nag abot sya ng kamay.
" You can call me Ms. Mendoza, only close friend can call me that. Likewise Mr. Whatever" Inabot ko rin yong kamay ko para sa handshake, nagulat ako dahil hahalikan nya ang likod ng palad ko kaya biglang nabuild up ang defense mechanism ko at pinilipit ko ang kamay nya.
"Aurum joke lang, di ka naman mabiro" sabi nya ng halatang nasasaktan
"Sorry! Sorry!" binitawan ko yong a nya sabay takbo papasok sa kabubukas palang na elevator.
Nakakahiya grabe!
Nasa floor na ko kung saan gaganapin ang meeting pero wala pa si ate lex kaya tinawagan ko na
"Ate lex san ka?"
"nandito sa loob ng room tanong mo kay manong guard kung saan, nakalimutan ko yong daan papunta hahaha"
"Naku naman ate di mo ko hinintay! okay ate, madami na bang tao? Halos lahat ba nanjaam na?"
"Oo girl ikaw nalang ang wala, wala pa naman yong anak ni sir Don kaya bilisan mo na"
"Oo na ito na"
"Manong saan daw po ba dito yong meeting room?"
"deretsyo lang po kayo sa kanan maam tas kaliwang pinto po"
"Salamat manong good day po"
"sige po ma'am, salamat"
Pagpasok ko lahat sila nakatingin.
"Kala ko pa naman sya na hahahah"
"kanina pa kami kinakabahan dito Aurum tas bigla ka nalang papasok nang hindi kumakatok"
"woooh! Nagka mini heart attack ako bigla" sunod-sunod nilang sabi
"Hoy kayo ang OA nyo huh! Tumahimik na kayo kasi pag pasok ko kanina nakita ko yong elevator na paakyat na baka siya na yon. Shhhh"
"Aurum dito ka sa tabi ko umupo" sabi ni ate lex
Kaya lumapit ako sa kanya at tumabi sa bakanteng upuan maya maya lang ay bumas ang pinto at pumasok ang isang lalaking seryoso ang mukha at halatang galit o kung ano man yon hindi ko alam.
"Good afternoon everyone, I'm sorry I'm late, something happened in the lobby habang paakyat ako dito, you all may sit" then we sit, masunurin kasi kami.
"What happened in lobby Sir? Don't mind if I'm asking" lakas loob kong tanong. Ngumiti naman sya sakin
"I was trying to be nice to someone, showing how gentleman I am but then she twist my hand. She's very good I can say."
"She is?" tanong ko ng parang nanunudyo
"Are you?" Balik nyang tanong
" I'm not" sabi ko, halata na naiinis na sya ewan ko kung bakit, siguro dahil mukhang akong inosenteng nagtatanong
"Very well then, ipakilala mo ko sa kanila as my new secretary introduce me."
"Si Aurum Sir?" Tanong ni ate lex
"Yep, si Aurum. But we're not close"
"As if naman magiging close tayo?" sabi ko na parang di pa nag sisink in yong mga sinabi nya
"We will, Now introduce me- Oh nevermind I'll do it myself. I am Lucas Gabriel Cruz, Son of the former owner Mr. Don Cruz since he's still in the ICU due to his heath condition but for now I am the acting CEO of Cruz Hotels and Restaurants, and as for all of you in the accounting department please pass the company's financial statements and Financial Position. As per the head of the accounting department please find a replacement on Ms. Stephannie's position because I appointed her as my new secretary. Thats all for today, you all may leave except for you ms. secretary, and btw the lunch that I promise is in the cafe at the lobby, tell them, they know it already, thank you all for your time. Y'all may leave now" sabi nya ng tuloy tuloy di manlang tinanong kung may question ba, violent reactions, or suggestion. Attitude ahhh!
Nang makalabas yong mga kasama ko aalis na rin sana ako pero he went to the door before I do.
"I see. Your not listening to what I am saying. Okay Ms. Secretary since today is your first day, I want you to tour me around the building. Don't be so stubborn or else-"
"or else what?" He walk towards me and leaning near me.
"I'll kiss you here" Then he did, on my cheecks. I snapped I pull his hair and kick his knee that causes him to drop on the floor, face first! As I was on the top of him. then he rotate without any hesitation then laugh as if 'di sya nasaktan
"Nakakadami ka na Ms. Secretary, if I were you dadamihan ko pa lalo para mas masaya" I just realize how awkward our position is.
"What are you thinking Lucas? Wag kang feeling close, and for your information I don't like to be your secretary, I'll better go to back to our department marami pa kaming gagawin since nanghihingi ka ng FS at Financial Position." Then I leave the meeting room
