ToGetHer Forever

Veintiuno

A week after their vacation in Pagudpud, Kristene started her On-the-job training at Kingsley Land Corporation. Everything went well, except when she overheard some employees talking about Dylan and her. She's currently at the restroom cubicle when she heard someone spoke.

"Nakikita nyo ba yung bagong secretary ni Sir Kingsley?"

She rolled her eyes. Heto nanaman tayo.

"For sure babae ni Sir Kingsley 'yon!"

"Mukha nga! Unang tingin ko palang malandi na eh. Malamang naikama na ni Sir 'yon."

"Alam nyo naman si Sir Kingsley, known for being a famous womanizer. Hindi nya mapapalampas ang isang 'yan panigurado. Malanding babae grabe!"

She can't help but to roll her eyes again and again in annoyance. Hanggang dito ba naman sikat pa rin sya? Well, sa ganda ba naman nya, ang daming na-iinggit. Kasama na ang mga babaeng ito na chismisan ng chismisan sa loob ng banyo. Sa sobrang pag-aatupag sa pangchi-chismis, hindi muna alamin kung may ibang tao ba sa restroom.

Pag-chismisan din daw ba ang Big Boss? Mga walang galang!

She silently walked outside the cubicle and went straight to the lavatory sink to wash her hands. When she looked up to them through the mirror, she smirked when she saw panic on their faces.

Hindi nya pinansin ang tatlong babae at pinagpatuloy lang ang mga kailangan nyang gawin. Nang matapos sya, binalingan nya ng tingin at tatlo at ngumiti dito. A very wicked kind of smile.

"I have a name girls. That's Kristene Rae Castilleja Adriano for you. Remember that. The next time you talk about someone, be sure that no one can hear you. And by the way, naikama na nga ako ni Dylan. Sobrang sarap nga eh."

She waved at them before she stepped out the restroom. Wala syang pakiealam kahit ikalat pa ng tatlong babaeng iyon ang sinabi nya. She's not even threathened though.

Nang makarating sya pwesto nya, imbis na umupo, nagdiretso sya mismo sa loob ng opisina ni Dylan at halatang busy ito sa dami ng papeles na nagkalat sa table nito.

Dylan looked up to her and shooked his head. "Grumpy again?"

She shrugged. "May ipaparinig ako sayo."

Dylan rested his back on his swivel chair. "What is it?"

"Alexandra gave me an idea about recording something in times of need or chismis so here it is."

She started playing the recording and handed her phone to Dylan.

"For sure babae ni Sir Kingsley 'yon!"

"Mukha nga! Unang tingin ko palang malandi na eh. Malamang naikama na ni Sir 'yon."

"Alam nyo naman si Sir Kingsley, known for being a famous womanizer. Hindi nya mapapalampas ang isang 'yan panigurado. Malanding babae grabe!"

"I have a name girls. That's Kristene Raye Castilleja Adriano for you. Remember that. The next time you talk about someone, be sure that no one can hear you. And by the way, naikama na nga ako ni Dylan. Sobrang sarap nga eh."

Dylan frowned. "Kristene, hindi pa kita naikakama."

Kristene smirked. "I just gave them something to imagine."

Napailing nalang si Dylan habang ibinabalik ang cellphone kay Kristene. "Who are those bitches? So I can fire them right away."

"Nah! Hayaan mo sila. I want them to remember my name. And let's see who's the bitch among us. Anyway," She trailed off and sat on his table facing him. "What time are we going to Le Mortejo for our Christmas Party?"
