I woke up with a heavy feeling. I couldn't remember kung paano ako nakauwi ng unit ko. I might have called Dennis to fetch me.
I looked at my phone. 24 missed calls from Denver Wilson. I decided to just deactivate my account.
I need to go to supermarket within this week. Wala akong stocks ng pagkaen sa fridge aside from spoiled canned goods and expired processed meats.
Naligo na ako at nagbihis. This will be my first day at work. I am wearing Balmain structured fitted dress and black Prada shoes with Dior sunglasses. I am sporting a sleek low ponytail.
Since coding ako, nagtawag na lang ako ng grab papuntang restaurant.
I texted Dennis beforehand na ipagluto ako ng food for breakfast.
They all know na pupunta ako ngayon kaya abala ang lahat. Kanya-kanyang pakitang gilas.
Kahit na nag-stay ako ng matagal sa Cali, hands-on pa din ako sa negosyo. I always make sure na nasusunod lahat ng alituntunin sa restaurants ko. Updated din ako sa mga newly-hired staffs and yung mga nag-resign and na-terminate. Even the financial statements and comprehensive income ng restaurant ay alam ko.
"Good morning Ma'am Tanya." Bungad sa akin ni Dennis.
I beckoned one of the servers to get my food. Umupo ako sa pinakagilid.
Umaga pa lang kaya hindi pa ganoong kadami ang customer. Usually at this hour, people prefer starbucks and fastfood restaurants.
"Good morning, ma'am Marga!" My maitre d'hotel greeted to the newcomer.
"Good morning. Where's Tanya?"
Bago pa ako maituro ng tauhan ko ay kumaway na ako sa kanya. The woman is wearing a sesame-coloured Burberry ensemble office wear.
Nagpa-order ulit ako ng isang set pa ng breakfast ngunit pinigilan ako ni Marga.
"I'll just have one americano, please."
Tumango naman ang staff ko.
"I am sorry. I was really drunk last night. Nakalimutan ko na yung mga nangyare but it was a blast." I chuckled.
"Yes. My driver had to sent you home dahil hindi ka na makalakad."
Oh I see. Akala ko nagpasundo ako. That explains it.
"Wow. Thanks. I thought it's one of my staffs." I chuckled again pero ang kaseryosohan sa mukha ni Marga ay nababakas pa din.
My forehead creased. "What's the matter?" I asked.
Sakto naman ang pagdating ng order niyang coffee.
"Have you thought about it?" She answered me with a question.
I was confused at first pero noong maalala ko ay agad akong napahalakhak.
"Are you really serious about that?"
She gave me a stern look. She's really serious. Okay.
"You know well that I just broke up with Denver, right?" I said, giving her a hint na ang gusto niyang mangyare ay isang malaking joke.
"Then let this be your diversion." She said desperately.
Oh God. This woman.
Hinilot ko ang sentido ko. I have never been a mistress my whole life. And I haven't seen her son. What if he's out of my league?! Gadh!
"Seriously, Marga? You want me to ruin your son's relationship?"
She gave me a desperate look.
"Yes. If.....If this works, I will help you get a green card."
My eyes went wide.
"Are you kidding me?" I gasped in surprise.
She knows how to tickle me! Syempre papayag ako!?
"Why are you so desperate to ruin them?" Pag-uusisa ko. She must really hate the girl that much.
"She's not good for my son. Masyadong plastic. Ayokong makasal sya sa babaeng yon."
I raised a brow.
"And what made you think that I can ruin them?"
"Simple. You're a temptress."
I smirked at her.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"You should." Ngumisi din sya, tanda ng pagkapanalo dahil pumayag ako sa gusto niya.
Hapon na nang umalis kami pareho sa restaurant. Pinakuha ko sa tauhan ko ang dress na pamalit ko.
I am now wearing a Saint Laurent Leopard asymmetrical mini dress.
This will be the first time na pupunta ako sa bahay ni Marga. We usually hangout sa resorts and casinos. Busy din naman ako sa restaurant ko dati kaya natatanggihan ko ang mga invitations niya.
Her husband is in US. I don't know kung doon ba sya magpapatulong to get me a green card.
"We're here." Saad niya which woke me up from trance.
The house is huge. May fountain sa tapat. Not to mention, the garage. It's spacious!
The driver dropped us to the entrance of the house. As soon as we went out of the car, halos hindi na huminga ang mga maids sa takot. No wonder, magkasundo kaming dalawa.
"Where's my son?" Marga asked coldly.
"N-nasa sala po. K-kasama po si Ma'am Joan. S-sabihin ko po bang nandito na po kayo?" Nanginginig na tanong ng kanilang kasambahay.
"No need."
Dire-diretso kaming pumasok sa bahay. I could hear the resonance of laughter coming from a girl.
Tunog malandi.
"That girl is so annoying." komento ng kasama ko. I agree.
Pagdating sa sala, unang tumambad sa akin ang babae na tuwang tuwa habang nanunuod ng isang tv series. She's pretty. I give her that.
Napaka simple ng suot. Jeans and sleeveless top. Pero branded naman. Chanel, maybe?
Sumunod na umagaw pansin saken ay ang lalaking kararating lang galing sa kusina. The guy is topless. Napakagwapo nito. Matipuno ang katawan. Ang mga bitak ng katawan ay nasa tamang pwesto.
He's holding a bowl of salad.
"Yummy.." nausal ko.
I don't know if I am referring to the salad or him.
