I wore my chanel short coat, maroon v-neck sleeveless underneath paired with black long high-waisted square pants and black stiletto heels for today. Feniel was already downstairs to get our bento box.
"Let's go"
"Comiiiing"
'Ma'am Mendes in the office please'
I got up my sit as soon as I received a call from Doc Jin.
"Good morning Ma'am Mendes I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
"No Doc what is it?" I'm actually checking the diagnostic tests of my students but I have a lot of time to kill later so this is nothing.
"Will you please hand these papers to the College of Criminology? Just look for Doc Salvacion." I was about to ask the office place when suddenly Sir Isaac Mcbride open the door and cheerfully greeted us.
"Good morning Doc Jin! Oh good morning din Ma'am Cat! Pinatawag mo po ako Doc?"
"Yes, please come with Ma'am Mendes I asked her to bring those papers to Doc Rafael Salvacion. Thank you!" she shoo us and face her pc again. I think she's pretty busy today.
"If you know the office of the college of criminology why would she asked me to bring these papers instead of you?" I asked him while we're outside still walking but now on the different direction I've never been before.
"Doc Salvacion is rigorously conform to his principle and school rules. He abhor late submission of papers and graceless people but—"
"Oh! You're not graceful enough?"
"Wow the confidence!" he eyed me widely while his hands covered his mouth. I just rolled my eyes that made him laughed more.
"His weakness, his weakness is someone like you. That's what I mean." he said while tapping my shoulders.
"I feel used."
"Not really. It doesn't mean he will bind his principle but he will not let you see his wrath. Instead of summoning Doc Jin he will only call to scold her vehemently. You know what Doc Jin will do,then?"
"She will answer his call and put her phone in the drawer." I saw how she answered the call yesterday and put it inside her drawer! Like nothing happened she proceeded talking to Feniel and I. She's beautiful yet weird.
"Exactly!" he said before opening the door after a few knocks.
"Yco, what's up bro?" bro? He extended his hand which I thought for a handshake but both of them hold each others arm. Frat huh?
Yco only smiled at me before talking to Isaac.
"Excuse me how may I help you?"
I turned my head and saw a young cute guy in his specs. He look pretty familiar.
"I'm Frederick Mcbride, secretary of Doc Rafael Salvacion. And unfortunately, younger brother of Isaac" I nodded as realization hit me.
"Florence Catalina Mendes from CAS - Natural Science Department, I'm looking for Doc Rafael Salvacion" I took his hand for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you Ma'am Mendes, anyway Doc Rafael is not really in the mood right now." tiningnan ko ang kasama kong pumunta dito na busy nakikipag usap kay Sir Yco.
"My brother will never help you but if you insist I advice you to ask Sir Austria to accompany you to Doc Rafael, he'll be a great help." binuksan nya ang isang pintuan pero napatigil ako sa paglalakad nang marinig ko ang isang sigaw na tingin ko'y galing sa office ni Doc Salvacion! Damn it kinabahan ako bigla!
'HOW UNPROFESSIONAL!'
'TELL ENGR. MARCO I WANT TO SEE HIM TODAY WITH HIS APOLOGY LETTER!'
Nginitian lang ako ng alanganin ng secretary at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad patungo sa isang cubicle.
He looks so manly his dark eyebrows perfectly complimented his eyes and gosh his jaw is aesthetically beautiful. He's wearing dark blue polo shirt, black tactical pants and combat shoes. He even got the sense of fashion!
I suddenly realized I had been gaping to this good looking man in front of me. Oh ghad forgive me!
"Sir Austria this is Ma'am Mendes she need your help to Doc Rafael" he turn to me and flash his handsome smile
"Hi, I'm Juergen Austria" he extended his hand that I gladly took with mine as I introduced myself.
"Nice to meet you Sir Austria"
"That's too formal call me Juergen instead." goodness he chuckled!
Iniwan na kami ng secretary nang may lumabas sa office ni Doc Salvacion na agad nyang kinausap.
"Let's go Ma'am Catalina" he opened the door and let me in first. I exhaled deeply and greeted Doc Salvacion
"Good morning po Doc"
"What's good in the morning?" my jaw dropped when I heard his unpleasant reply ni hindi man lang sya humarap sa akin. The man behind me tapped my shoulder and signal me to let him speak.
"Doc Rafa, Doc Jin send her to submit these documents" he stopped scanning his documents and sighed loudly. He look at Juergen and glance at me.
"Hand me those papers and leave"
That fast?
I think he is the favorite.
"Thank you Doc"
"Thank you po"
..................
"The great Florence Catalina Mendes was gawking to Juergen, I didn't saw it coming"
"Shut up, okay?" inis ko syang tiningnan pero binaliwala nya lang ako. I was shocked too. I never thought I'm capable of doing that, am I enchanted by his looks? Duh?
"Are you disappointed na hindi ka nya inihatid?"
"You know what? My klase pa ako. Ihatid mo si Feniel sa klase nya."
"I don't think she need me" he said looking up stairs where Feniel was getting pissed off of Marco for holding her things.
He went in to our office I glanced again to Feniel and Marco before going inside.
"Why are you following me huh?"
"Woah the confidence never leave you" inirapan ko lang sya at patuloy na naglakad. "Dito din floor ko, ang assuming nito. Hoy!" nilingon ko lang sya para irapan bago pumasok sa klase ko.
2 hours later
Lumabas na ako pagkatapos ng klase bitbit mga test papers na pinasagutan ko.
"Why don't you ask your students to hold those papers?" bago pa man ako makapagsalita tinawag na nya ang dalawa kong estudyante sa klase na ito.
"Oi Rusell and Ben lagay nyo ito sa table ni Ma'am Cat ninyo sa office."
"No it's okay" I smiled at them and glared at Isaac.
"Anong okay okay ka dyan, dali na kunin nyo na bitbit ng Ma'am nyo"
"Ma'am kami na po" they shyly smiled at me and get the papers out of my hand.
"Nursing ang class mo, you didn't expect their numbers?"
"Yeah, I even went back in the office earlier just to get additional questioners."
Pababa na kami sa 3rd floor nang makasalubong namin si Feniel bitbit ang mga test papers.
"Ako na" Isaac try to get the papers to Feniel na agad naman nyang binigay. She cling her hands on me and talk about how Marco annoyed her. Siniko ko itong katabi ko.
"You dimwit, pag ako madaming bitbit sa estudyante ipapadala?"
"Crush kita?" sasagot pa sana ako nang biglang magsalita si Feniel.
"Nagtext si Kennyy nasa office na daw sya. Tara"
"Thanks po Sir Mcbride"
I can't help but laugh out loud nang marinig ko ang pormal na pagpapasalamat ni Feniel kay Isaac. My eyes started to tear up upon seeing Isaac's ears began to rose.
A handkerchief was handed to me so I wiped a few moist on my eyes.
"You look lovely when you laugh Ma'am Catalina"
Now it's Isaac time to laugh as I awkwardly smile to Juergen.
