Chapter 6

Tinapos ko ang pinapagawa ni Axl kahit na napaka-awkward ng atmosphere sa pagitan namin. Tuwing sumusulyap ako sa kaniya ay nakikita kong seryoso at abala siya sa sariling trabaho. Hindi ko mapigilang hindi tumitig dahil namamangha ako sa pagiging seryoso niya.

The way his eyebrows furrow together while reading something on his laptop, the way he cranes his neck, maging ang tunog ng paglapat ng kaniyang mga daliri sa keyboard ng laptop ay ikinamamangha ko sa hindi malamang dahilan.

He surely looks so cold and exceptional, like a king sitting on his throne, he surely belongs to this kind of place.

Tumunog ang telepono sa isang tawag. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko ba iyong sagutin gayong nasa tabi niya lang ito. Sumulyap siya sa akin bago pinulot ang telepono.

"Hello," I almost winced when I heard his hoarse and husky voice. Kung paanong tumagal ang huling sekretarya niya ay hindi ko alam. Maybe she doesn't get affected with him? Pero mayroon bang babaeng hindi maaapektuhan sa ganitong klaseng lalaki?

Sumulyap siya sa akin kaya naman napaupo ako ng maayos. "Yes let her in, and please redirect the calls for me back to my secretary's office." Pagkatapos ay ibinaba nito ang telepono.

"Aliyah's here, she's gonna be giving you a brief orientation so listen carefully. I am expecting that you will do your best to learn everything that you have to learn, don't disappoint me." Tumaas ang kilay nito pagkatapos.

Mabilis akong tumango. Sa sandaling nakita ko rito sa opisina si Axl ay napatunayan kong istrikto siya at seryoso sa trabaho. I guess he values the work so much and won't have second thoughts of firing people who can't perform well. Totoo nga marahil ang sinasabi ng iba, GGC is very particular to performing and skilled individuals.

Ilang sandali lamang din ay bumukas ang double glass doors sa harapan namin at pumasok ang isang matangkad at sopistikadang babae. My eyes widened, she's his previous secretary?

Pinanood ko itong lumakad patungo sa harapan namin. The sound of her stilettos on the floor makes her look like a sophisticated powerful businesswoman. Isang itim na fitted dress ang suot niya, hindi ko alam kung ano ang tawag sa ganoong damit pero mahigpit itong yumayakap sa katawan niya, showing all her perfect curves. Bagsak ang mahaba at blonde nitong buhok at mukhang simple lang ang kaniyang make-up. The red lipstick suits her well, she looks mature. I wonder how old is she?

Tumigil ito sa upuang nasa harap ng lamesa ni Axl. She smiled at him before glancing at me, "Good morning."

"Good morning Aliyah,"

Nanatili ang titig nito sa akin, tumaas ang isang kilay nito bago muling bumaling kay Axl. "You surely got a new pretty secretary sir."

"Please have a seat,"

Aliyah nodded, dahan-dahan itong umupo. Sa paraan ng pagkilos ay halatang may pinag-aralan at may kaya ito sa buhay. Ngayon ay bigla akong napaisip, what are Axl's standards for his secretaries? Ganito ba dapat?

"She's undergraduate, mom wants her to work here for me so I had no choice." Sabay silang sumulyap sa akin.

Aliyah's lips formed into an 'o'. She unbelievably looked at me, "You must be a daughter of some friend? It's hard to apply as a regular employee here but it's way harder to apply as Axl's secretary."

"Uhh.." Sumulyap ako kay Axl, I'm not sure if I can tell her I'm their maid's daughter. Nakatitig lang naman ito sa akin.

Aliyah chuckled before I could even say something. She smiled at me, "She looks shy."

"You know what to do Aliyah, I'm busy."

Aliyah chuckled, like she's used to Axl being like this. Tumayo ito at bumaling sa akin, "Let's start then? What's your name?"
