Greatest Gift From Above (Book Two)

02

I woke up because of a phone call. Tinignan ko ang oras. It was only 9:00 in the morning who would call me this early.

*Unknown number*

"Hello?" I asked irritated.

[ Hello manong na englishero. ]

Did the crazy girl call me?

"Who is this?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

[ Ako yung muntik na magpakamatay dun sa tulay. Kuya g englishero seryoso kaba dun sa trabaho na sinasabi mo? ] She asked.

Will I really give her a job? It is not my habit to talk to strangers but why did I talk to her and offer her a job?

"Hmm yes. Meet me at the Starbucks. 10:00 am" I said without any emotion.

[ Okay po manong na englishero. ] she sounded excited.

I got dressed and just put on my business attire. It was 9:40 when I finished fixing it. It's already 10:20am when I arrived at the Starbucks.I looked around to see if she was here but she was not here yet. I waited a few more minutes and when I looked at the Starbucks door she was standing there. messy messy hair and still gasping for breath. when she saw me she immediately approached me.

"Your late" I said with a serious tone. She sat across from me.

"Ay sorry kuyang englishero traffic kasi tsaka walang jeep kanina. Ang layo naman kasi ng Starbucks na to hindi man kasi ako nakakapasok dito e ngayon lang." She talk.

"Did you bring your resumé?"

"Oo naman kuyang englishero." She said and handed me her resumé.

I took her resume and read it. I just stopped reading because she asked.

"Ano ba yung trabaho ko manong na englishero? Wag mo akong ibubugaw ah bata pa ako." She said and covered her breast.

"I won't you fool" I said.

I already ordered food because I have not had breakfast yet. I told her to order as well at first she did not want to order because she said it was expensive but when I said it's my treat she also agreed to order.

"Kuyang englishero." she said. I looked at her confused.

"Bakit nakatingin sayo yung mga babae? Sikat kaba?" She asked me.

She had no idea that I was the son of the owner of the largest company in the Philippines. Hindi ko sya pinansin at tinuloy nalang ang pagbasa sa resumé nya. She's just staring at me.

"Wait kilala na kita!" She said happy. I looked at her with a poker face.

"Ikaw yung ex ko!" She said laughing. Nagulat ako sa sinabi nya. Wala talaga siyang idea kung sino ako.

"If you don't recognize me or know me let me introduce myself." I said with a cold tone. She's wait for me to introduce myself.

"I'm Cliffton Lance Mendez." I said formally. She blink twice.

"C-cliffton.. l-lance Mendez?" She repeated.

"Yes that's me. It's not nice to meet you." I said sarcastic. I ignored her and continue reading.

"S-sir cliffton.. b-boss l-ance." She practice calling me with my name not that 'kuyang englishero'. I heard her calling me so I looked at her.

"What?" I asked.

"Hmm.. kasi kuyang..este sir Cliffton, sir Lance." She seemed embarrassed and did not know what to call me.

"Just say it." I said.
