The Great Boss

Chapter 30

TGB30

Pain literally consumes people. It'll slowly drain your sanity. At kung hindi mapipigilan, mas malala pa.

When you'll allow it to engulf your whole system, the seething pain will turn into anger. Worse, self-destruction.

This is why I admire people who selfishly seek for peace of mind to the extent of cutting someone from their life instead of embracing anger.

Wala nang luha ang lumalabas pa mula sa aking mata. I am emotionally and mentally drained.

I closed my eyes as I submerged my body into the warm water in my bathtub, hoping to sooth and get rid of the memory that I almost got harassed.

Mas lalo ko pang linubog ang sarili sa memorya ng kaniyang mukha.

And as I gasped for air, I nailed the thought in my head that I will never gonna go back to him.

But would it be a crime if my heart longs for him despite the pain?

I smiled bitterly as I think of our good memories.

But I'm coming to accept that good things really fall apart. Yet, for sure I'll keep on loving him, until I get tired of the pain, until my heart will no longer yearn for him because it's the only thing that I know on how to do it.

For the whole weekend, I readied myself for the possible unforeseen encounters I will be having with him.

At para naman doon kay Mr. Bartolome, I'll present the whole document again, if I may. I am also thinking to press charges or report this to our HR.

Isasali ko yung harassment pati ang mga threats. Hindi ko sigurado kung pati iyong pagsunod sa akin ay siya din ang may pakana.

Lena could testify that I really submitted the document because I asked her to print those.

I am also determined to submit my resignation letter so I could immediately train Lena or someone that'll replace me.

Kaya nang dumating ang Lunes ay kaagad akong dumiretso sa pag tipa ng content para sa resignation letter.

I quickly print it and went outside my office to look for Lena.

"Lena?"

"Miss! Okay na po kayo?"

I smiled.

Throughout the years, Lena has been a walking sunshine. She's filled with smiles. Hindi mahirap pakisamahan at sobrang flexible. Kaya siya talaga ang posibleng pumalit sa pwesto ko.

"Ayos naman ako. Salamat sa mga binigay niyo ni Dex, I felt so refresh and beautiful! Effective yung eye cream and patch ha! Kaya thank you!"

She smiled brightly at kumindat. "No worries miss!"

"Um... Lena, do you remember the confidential document I asked you to print?"

"Alin doon miss?"

"The one tasked to me by Mr. Bartolome?", I asked casually.

Her eyes widened, her pensive expression made me almost worry but in the end a smile lingered on my mouth.

"Oh my gosh, miss! Nasaan ka po pala noong Friday pagkatapos ng meeting niyo?!"

"H-huh? Bakit?"

"Grabe, it was quite a scene miss! Inarresto si Mr. Bartolome! There was search and warrant happened in the company. Hindi ko pa alam ang buong nangyari, pero grabe po, he was helplessly dragged! Ayun po sa mga nakakita, halos hindi po makalakad ng maayos si Sir! Sobrang dami niya pong pasa!"
