"Okay so ayon ang sasabihin mo ha. And please smile at him Gun. Atleast use your commercial smile." cookie

So we practiced mga sasabihin ko mamaya kapag nakaharap na ang CEO. Actually hindi siya totally script but Cookie just reminded me what NOT to say. And smile as much as possible.

Sabi nga ni Cookie lagi sa akin, "Your smile is your weapon Gun."

I don't exactly know what does she meant by that but I think that's why I'm in this industry.

Isa rin sa pinaka importanteng paalala niya sa akin ay huwag mauubos ang pasensya ko.

Well I'm not the type of person who lose his patience that easily. The only problem is that kapag ayoko sa isang tao, doon ako mabilis mairita.

And since ito ang first meeting ko sa CEO na malapitan, Cookie's scared na mairita ako infront of the CEO.

"I know Cookie. I'll just use my photoshoot attitude later. Huwag ka masyado mag-alala."

She just sigh. "I know you're just staying strong but I know as well how much important this job for you Gun. Ayokong mawala sa iyo ito."

I smiled and hug her. "Thank you Cookie. Kaya favorite kitang manager e."

"Ako lang naman nagiisa mong manager. Wala kang choice para maging favorite talaga ako." We laughed at each other but we both know parehas kaming kinakabahan.

"Anong oras na?"

"5:30PM. Let's be ready."

Exactly 6PM his secretary called us. Together with my Manager we go inside the elevator and pressed 10th floor. If itatanong niyo kung asan si Mey, she has schedule for today.

Sinabahan niya ako na tawagan siya agad after the meeting.

As we step outside. Mas ramdam ko na ang tibok ng puso ko. Kaunti lang ang nakakakita sa CEO ng malapitan.

Maliban sa kanyang secretary, mga department heads lang ang nakakakita pa sa kanya up close. And even Cookie doesn't know what he looks like. Well yes there's photos and such but iba parin ang looks and aura in personal. We didn't even know how will be his attitude be like. Ayon lang sa chismis ay nakakatakot daw siya. But... he coudn't be that scary right?

Ang taas ng confidence ko kanina. Ngayong andito na ako sa harap ng pinto ng office niya grabe na ang kaba ko.

I shook my head. No Gun kaya mo ito. Ikaw pa ba? Never kang kinabahan sa work, ngayon ka pa ba kakabahan? Okay, laban!

"He's waiting inside Mr. Gun, you can go now."

I nodded at his secretary then look at Cookie.

"Here I go Cookie, wish me luck." She nodded.

I grabbed the knob and open the door. The cold breeze of the room welcomed me. His office is big with sofa set and small table in the middle of the room, big white bookshelf in the left, big antique cabinet on the right, and his table office right on the top middle of the office near the wide open glass window. And there he is, standing, looking outside. As I close the door and heard the click of the knob, he turned his way to face me.

There. He. Is. Looking straight at me.
Jumpol Adulkittiporn. Our CEO.
