Wattpad-Where stories live.
Solar, a frustrated writer, was teleported to a world of fiction--the Wattpad World. She wonders why she was teleported to another world. There, she met the characters in her work on Wattpad and fell in love with the m...
There's no other door to this floor except this huge black door.
We walked towards a young man who was looking straight to his computer, typing something in a fast speed.
"Excuse me, Dom. Please tell Mr. Cruz that Ms. Garcia is right here, ready for the interview," Belle said to the man named Dom.
"Ms. Garcia was already here, Sir," he said to the intercom.
"Let her in." I rolled my eyes as soon as I heard his annoying voice. Belle cleared her throat, shocked because she saw what I just did. I muttered a sorry and she just smiled at me and excused herself to go to her station.
Dom escorted me to the door to Jace's office and he knocked 3 times then pushed the door open.
This massive room is a luxury! There are too many expensive things inside that you will be lazy to read so I don't need to elaborate more. Even the papers looked expensive as shit.
I saw Jace sitting on his black leather swiveled chair with a smirk on his face. I'd pay to wipe that annoying smirk plastered on his shit face.
"You can now go Dom," he said while looking straight into my eyes.
"Yes, Sir," Dom said and bowed.
I crossed my arms and have a staring battle with him. He was the first to look away. "Bakit ikaw ang mag-iinterview? Wala ba kayong HR?"
"Gusto mo bang gisahin ka ng HR kung sino ka at saan ka nakatira?" he said making me feel a bit intimidated.
I hate to admit it but he really has a point.
"So," panimula niya. "I have your DNA and your fingerprints checked. No one in this country matched your results."
I scoffed, "Sinabi ko naman kasi sayo 'di ba? I do not come from this world. I'm being honest here, hello?"

"Kevin was a bit hesitant but I now believe in you," he said and smiled. "But I always wonder why you're close to Mr. Rodriguez? To think that you don't know anyone from here besides me and Kevin."
Huminga ako ng malalim at tinignan si Jace sa mata, "Levi helped me the night I went out of your house. He actually talked to me like a friend not like you and Kevin did. He helped me to check in sa hotel na katapat ng flat mo and he even let me use his credit card para makabili ng mga kailangan ko at binigyan n'ya rin ako ng phone. Look oh." Pinakita ko sa kanya ang credit card at phone na nasa bulsa ko.
"And now he's treating you like his girlfriend?" he laughed mockingly. "Did he also know all about...you?" he trailed.
"Excuse me? Hindi 'no. Babayaran ko 'to kaya nga ako naghahanap ng trabaho 'di ba? Wala akong kadala-dalang kahit ano dito kaya hindi ako makabili ng kahit anong kailangan ko. I hate the way you talk. Hindi gan'yan ang inassume ko na attitude ng character na ginawa ko. Wait till I got home and I'll make you and Kevin a couple!"
He looked shocked for a second and recovered. "Kailan ka naman kaya makakabalik sa inyo?"
"I don't know. Kahit anong itanong mo sakin sa pagbabalik ko eh hindi ko rin alam ang sagot. Sa ngayon, kailangan ko munang mag-settle at mag-survive rito. Do you have any position vacant for me?" I went straight to the point. 'Cause if he's not hiring me, I still don't have much time talking nonsense with him.
"Will a janitor's job be okay for you?"
"Are you underestimating me? Isa pa, hinahamak mo ba ang trabaho ng mga janitor, Jace Ares Cruz?" I can't believe his attitude.
"W-What?" ngayon, s'ya naman ang nabubulol. "I never said that!"
I ignored his annoying rants, "How much will you pay me?"
"Are you sure you want to be a janitor?"
I nodded. Anong masama sa pagiging janitor?
"Don't you want to be my personal secretary?"
"Personal Secretary?"
He nodded.
"Eh, 'di ba secretary mo na si Kevin?"
"Hm mmm," he hummed and went to sit on the white couch and motioned for me to do the same across from him. "You can be my secretary too. All you have to do is to type and print some documents, get me a coffee, and stuff."
"Okay," and now I have the job.
"You can't work at the cafe. People might ask who you are and might ask for your identification. Your pay rates are stated at the contract na pipirmahan mo. I'll have Dom print that out and you can start right now."
"Okay, now where is my station?" I asked as I looked around.
"Here," he pointed to the computer table right next to his.
"Are you kidding me?" I can't believe he's making me sit right next to him. I hate his attitude and we can't be in the same room. All hell will break loose. He's got this planned!
"I'm not."
"What the-- Wala akong sariling station? With the other employees?"
"That's your own station," he points to the pink computer table.
Fucking pink in color.
"I have that ready for you," he smiled annoyingly. Hinatak n'ya ako patayo mula sa kinauupuan ko saka ako pinaupo sa harap ng computer.
He leaned closer to my right at kitang kita ko ang repleksyon naming dalawa sa monitor ng computer na kaharap ko. Anytime na may pumasok, they'll have the wrong idea.
Itinulak ko palayo ang mukha n'ya. He was clearly taken aback and mumbled something I've never heard.
"Pinlano mo ba yung pagbibigay ng flyers sa labas ng mall?"
"Nope." He looked at me with a weird look na parang huli na pero magsisinungaling pa rin sya basta makalusot.
I glared at him for a long time and decided to not talk back anymore because he's basically my boss now.
I sighed and swiveled my chair to the right, facing him. "Okay, so what shall I do today? And please print out my contract so I can sign it before I work."
He crossed his arms and think, "I don't know, since wala pa akong maisip, you can just sit there and play some computer games, or browse the internet, I don't care. Ipi-print ko na 'yung contract mo while you're there. Okay?"
I nodded.
I booted the CPU and turned on the monitor. Wow. It's not Apple or Microsoft. It's just these three letters--JAC, that appeared on the screen!
Nakakabobo. Ganito pala ang feeling ng wala kang kaalam-alam sa mundo. Even the browser's not Google Chrome or Safari or Mozilla Firefox. And wow for the GUIs. It's pretty simple, yet stylish. Picture lang ng globe with a lot of lines ang Web Browser. Nothing more. It's the default browser.
The CPU wasn't connected with wires to the monitor. It was connected thru Bluetooth.
Did I teleport to a world that literally looked advanced like I'm in the movie Back To The Future?
Do they have flying cars?
"Here."
He gave me the contract and I signed it below. Nakasulat doon lahat ng pinag-usapan namin kanina.
I'm one of the JAC employees now! How ironic. I'm the writer of this story, and I'm one of my own characters for real!
"Welcome to JAC Corporation," he said and shook my hand.
