Trina's PoV
The moment that guy left I fixed myself. Remembering what happened suddenly made me laugh.
"Tatanga tanga hahaha"
I was shocked to hear myself. I just laughed... didn't I?
"Mam?"
"What?!"
"A-ahh ehh yung mga proposals po nilagay ko na sa lamesa niyo... s-sige po mam pasensiya na po"
My secretary was about to leave when I stopped her.
"Wait!"
"Yes mam!"
"Scarlet, haven't I ever smiled?"
"Mam?"
"Give me an honest answer please"
"N-never ko pa po kayo nakita ngumiti mam"
"Really?"
Nakita ko namang napapikit siya
"Hey I won't fire you for a question I intended to ask?"
Mukha namang nakahinga siya ng maluwag sa sinabi ko
"Am I that terrible??"
"Nako mam!! Hindi po!! N-nakakatakot lang po talaga yung aura niyo. Pero magaling po kayo sa negosyo mam! Idol ko nga po kayo ehh. P-pero"
"Pero ano?"
"Mas maganda mam kung madali kang makausap ng mga tao. We're honestly terrified po"
"Really? Geez."
"Jusko mam wag niyo po ako sesesantihin"
"Haha. Silly. I won't. Get back to work. Thanks"
"Po?"
"Ahh ehh sorry mam nagthank you po kasi kayo"
"Don't I say that?"
Umiling naman siya. I'm really a fcked up boss am I?
"O-ok. I'll take note of that. Thanks Scarlet. You may go now"
Paglabas ng sekretarya ko siya namang pagpasok ni dad sa opisina.
"How's my daughter??"
"Dad!!"
"Balita ko nandito na daw si Mr. Dimagiba ah?"
"Yes dad. He's just outside di mo ba nakita??"
"Ohh hindi ko napansin"
"Why do you want that guy in this company dad?"
"He's well known in the engineering industry. Magaling siya. Buti nga pinagbigyan niya tayo na kunin siya ehh"
"Really? Doesn't seem like it"
"Why?"
"Masyadong mahangin dad"
"Porke ba mahangin di na magaling?"
"N-no dad"
"Alam mo naman pala. Don't always judge people immediately. Learn to know them. Hindi man halata sa itsura ng mga tao, they can give something to you"
"I don't know dad"
"Ilang beses ko bang sinabi sayo to loosen up?"
"Pero andaming trabaho dad. Andami pang mga palpak. How can I relax?"
"Sometimes all you need to do is have a breather to think better. Find your hobby other than work. Akong may-ari ng kumpanya pa-easy easy lang kasi may tiwala ako sa tao ko. Pero ikaw baka mamaya mas mukha ka pang matanda saken"
"Dad!!"
"Just stating a fact my dear and also... smile!! Kaya ka naturingang terror boss ehh"
"I'm smiling dad!"
"When? In sleep?"
"Dad!!"
"Seriously. Smile, it's free therapy. And I promise you. When your employees see your smile, they can easily talk to you and tell you things. Mas madali mo din sila makikilala"
"Do I really have to do that?"
"Of course my dear! There are so many reasons to smile! Yung ibang tao makapulot lang ng piso masaya na, why can't you smile?"
"I-I don't know dad"
"I promise pag may isang lalaking nakapagpangiti sayo approve na kaagad siya saken"
"Dad. Not my lovelife again"
"Why? Hindi ka na bata Trina. It's time for you to find love"
"I'm fine dad"
"Whatever. Lika nga pakilala mo saken si Mr. Dimagiba"
"Kaya mo na yan dad"
"No. Come with me" then my dad pulled me out of my office
