Love 49

Chapter 49

Piled Papers

I didn't know how it become so easy to enter Lucas' company. Maybe because of course, he's the owner and he could qualify anything he wants. Ang hindi ko lang talaga inaasahan ay ang madali kong mga trabaho rito.

I wasn't assign to many loaded works. Siguro dahil wala naman talaga akong ibang alam gawin dahil wala naman akong alam sa mga trabaho rito. Gayunpaman, I don't want to chill here too. I still want to work kahit iyong mga kaya ko lang gawin. I don't want to be useless.

"I didn't know you still finish your degree in between show business, Shaireen. I mean, malalaki ang mga projects mo kaya I never thought makakapagtapos ka ng pag-aaral. And it's engineering? Inspired ka siguro noon kay Lucas? Or do you finish your degree when you're out of the show business for last years?"

Bahaw akong ngumiti kay Romina. Siya ang empleyadong katabi ko sa cubicle na ibinigay sa akin ni Lucas.

Yes, that marupok brute still give me comfortable working place kahit wala naman talaga akong ginagawa rito kundi ang magsearch ng kung ano sa PC at magtingin-tingin lang. Nobody gave me works. I don't know what Lucas told them pero sa dalawang araw na narito ako, hindi talaga ako naging busy.

"Ah... I don't have a degree. Ipinasok lang ako ni Lucas dito after some talks. Hehe," I muttered awkwardly.

Umawang ang bibig niya. "Oh... Is that so? And Engineer Lucas just let you be an employee here?"

"Uh, yes."

"What? The company is very careful to the applicants. Ni hindi nga basta-bastang tinatanggap iyong magagaling at may Latin honors nang gumadruate, ikaw pa kaya na walang degree? The workers here were excellent and good. Are you sure you're saying the truth?"

Nawala ang ngiti ko.

"I mean, no offend but it's very unlikely to Engineer Lucas. He's very particular to the workers especially to those who are new. Cairus' Construction Firm and Holdings is a superb company, of course the employee must be extraordinary,"

She's really implying something. Insulting me, of course. Hindi na lang ako sumagot dahil totoo rin naman ang point niya. This is a very successful company. Nakakatawa naman talagang isiping ang isang magaling at tinitingalang Engineer Lucas Ponteras ay nagpapapasok ng isang walang degree at walang silbing empleyadong kagaya ko.

"But well, maybe... because he has that soft heart for you. After all, you are his ex, right?"

Hindi na ako sumagot. She shrugged and smiled to me.

"You're maybe still special kaya pinapasok ka..." She concluded.

Gusto ko sanang sabihing marupok lang talaga ang boss nila pero of course hindi ko ginawa. Why the hell would I say that?

Wala na akong kausap nang nagsimula na ring maging abala si Romina sa trabaho. I'm aware of the employees' judging eyes at me during work. Siguro nagtataka kung paanong bigla naging empleyado ang isang babaeng ang alam lang ay ang pag-aarte.

I know I don't belong here pero hindi ko naman sila ginugulo. Bakit hindi na lang nila ako hayaan? Bakit kailangan pa nila akong husgahan gamit ang tingin? Di ko naman sila inaano.

I managed myself to get use of that. Hindi ko nakita buong araw si Lucas kahapon at pati ngayon. I think he's really busy kaya hindi ako makahingi sa kanya ng pwede kong maitrabaho rito.

I was searching about engineering in my PC when I saw an old employee walking towards me. I think she's one of the department head here. Inilapag niya sa table ko ang iilang makakapal na papers.
