CHAPTER 15
BATTLE
"Ms. Cayanne Leigh, do you need anything else?" Our butler asked, or should I say 'House Manager'. He doesn't like to be called the butler.
"For the hundredth time Oliver, please stop calling me Ms. Cayanne Leigh. I beg you to drop the formalities. You've been taking care of me and my family since I was a baby so you should just call me Caylee. Besides, mas bata naman po ako sa'yo."
I'm contemplating if I should use Kuya or Sir? But that would be weird. I like calling him Oliver since 'yun naman ang nakalagay sa name plate na suot niya sa uniform niya.
Yung name plate na 'yun nga, against ako do'n. I know the names of every helpers and drivers that we have. Syempre kasama ko sila for years, sinong hindi makakakilala sa kanila? There's no need for them to wear those but Oliver insisted, so my parents just allowed him to do what he wants. Magaling naman kasi siya magtrabaho. He's so dedicated at his work, na kahit matanda na siya ay ayaw niya pa ring umalis.
One time, I heard my father advised him to take a few months off. Magpahinga man lang since NEVER pa siyang nag-day off sa buong buhay niya. Babayaran pa rin naman daw siya ng pamilya ko kahit na nagbabakasyon siya but he declined the offer. Kami na daw ang pamilya niya at wala naman siyang asawa at anak. He said it's just a waste of time---I know, it's hilarious.
But we're lucky to have him here. I think the mansion would be a mess without him.
"Ms. Cayanne Leigh, I feel comfortable addressing you this way."
I smiled and didn't bother arguing. Hindi naman ako mananalo sa kanya. He always has his ways.
"Okay po," magalang na sagot ko. I took a sip at the mango juice he gave me and gave it an approval nod. "You can go now, tawagin na lang po kita kapag may kailangan pa 'ko."
Nag-bow pa siya bago siya umalis. Minsan hindi ko maiwasang matawa sa ginagawa niya. Pakiramdam niya siguro nasa sinaunang panahon siya at naglilingkod siya sa isang reyna at hari ng palasyo. Ay, ang bad ko do'n hehehe.
Pinatong ko na muna ang juice sa table at iniwan ang cellphone ko dito sa pool chair bago ako tumayo at hinubad ang dress ko. I'm wearing a two piece bikini beneath. Then I excitedly jumped to the pool.
This is what I love about Saturdays. Kapag walang event na naka-schedule for the Elites at tinamad akong mag-shopping or gumala kasama mga friends ko ay dito ako sa mansion naguubos ng oras.
I mostly swim, stay in my room, watch some movies in our theatre room, or sometimes play in our arcade room. Oo, may arcade room kami, request ko 'yon when I was just eight years old. I remember crying so much just so I can get my parents to say yes.
Kaso I caught my parents having sex there one time kaya ayon, medyo iniiwasan ko ng pumunta do'n. I don't really like the image even though I know it's normal for married couples to do it and duh, that's how they probably made me, LOL.
I never told them I saw them cause that would be awkward for everyone. Saglit lang 'yon kasi umalis din agad ako nung na-realize ko kung anong ginagawa nila. I was just 15 years old that time, I think. Medyo inosente pa hahahaha.
I stopped when I heard my phone ring. Agad akong umahon at nagpunas ng kamay upang masagot ang video call ng mga friends ko.
