Boys with Luv is in DANGER

BWL 7 - TUTOR

"Madam, have some coffee..."

He politely said as he put a cup of Starbucks coffee on my table beside my laptop.

I just stare at him in silence which make him speak further.

"I went outside to personally bought a coffee and then I remember the last time, you told me you don't drink instant coffees from our office that's why I decided to bought a cup of coffee for you too."

Pagpapaliwanag nya pa. Well, I can say he is doing his job properly as I observed.

Naalala ko pa noong unang bisita ko sa kumpanya na kasama sya sa kumpulan ng mga empleyadong pinaguusapan ako noon sa Cafeteria at nasisante ang babaeng sinisiraan ako nang dahil lang sa may gusto siya sa lalaking sekretarya sa harap ko ngayon.

Mula noon ay may bad first impression na ako sa kanya kahit ang totoo ay wala naman syang kasalanan. Baka tanungin nya pa nga ako na "Kasalanan po ba Madam ang maging gwapo?" Pero this past few weeks that he is working as my secretary napatunayan naman nyang nagagampanan nyang mabuti ang trabaho nya at hindi naman siya nagpapakita ng motibo na may nabubuo syang feelings para sakin, di gaya ng bintang noon ng babaeng empleyado.

But still we're not that close. It was pure plain boss-and-secretary-relationship.

I remain silent without any 'thank you' after all. Ayokong bigyan sya ng GO signal na ulit-ulitin ang bagay na ito kaya I pretend to not give much of my gratitude for his taughtfullness. Pero para naman hindi ako magmukhang rude and cold marahan ko naring binuksan ang cup at uminom habang nakamasid sya.

I can see him smile in response and bow down a little to show his goodbye with respect.

Pero nang akmang lalabas na sya ng pinto ng office ko ay tinawag ko sya.

"Secretary Paul..."

"Yes Madam?"

Binuksan ko ang isa sa mga table drawers at hinugot ang isang parisukat na bagay.

"Tuna sandwich. I packed some of it this morning and I think I can't finish all of it alone."

Nagmamadali naman siyang lumapit at nagpapasalamat na inabot ang sandwich. Akala mo naman ay binigyan ko sya ng isang milyon sa sobrang pagpapasalamat nya.

"Thank you Madam. I will take my leave now."

I just nod at him and immediately diverted my attention in continuing my business with my laptop.

"Oh goodness, mabuti naman at napabisita ka, Shana Monette! Kung hindi pa kita tatawagan ay hindi ka magpapakita dito sa bahay."

Magkahalong saya na may pagtataray na sabi ni Mommy nang madatnan ko sya sa sofa habang umiinom ng paborito nyang jasmine tea.

Ilang segundo lang akong tumayo sa harap nya ng walang sinasabi kaya kusa naman na syang tumayo at nakipag-beso sakin.
