Maaga akong pumasok sa office ngayon dahil marami pa akong mga appointments na pupuntahan. I push the buzzer button to call for my secretary but there's no response.
Oo nga pala I fired Jen yesterday. So what now? Lumabas ako ng office pero wala pang pmpasok na empleyado kahit isa. Its only 6:30am and office hours is at 8:00 am. Malamang nasa biyahe pa ang mga iyon.
Something pops out of my mind. Maybe i can make her my secretary since siya naman halos gumagawa ng trabaho ni Jen. Palage na lang niya inuutos sa iba kung ano ang dapat na trabaho niya.
So I'll just wait for her and ask her.
Ramira's POV
Malelate na ako its 7:45 na at naipit pa ako sa traffic. Eto talaga mahirap sa pag cocommute eh. Nakakainis lang. Di na bale lage din naman late si sir Ashton malamang mga 9 pa dating nun sa office.
After 15 minutes sa wakas gumalaw na din ang sinasakyan kong fx. Thank you po talaga Lord.
8:30 na ng makarating ako sa building namin. Bwiset talaga pag election season, kabi kabila ang pagbungkal ng kalsada kahit wala naman sira masabe lang na may nagawa sila para sa bayan.
Pagod na pagod ako sa pag akyat sa hagdan dahil yung elevator kakataas lang papuntang 30th floor at ang floor ko nsa 10 lang. Kaya hagdanan na lang ang ginamit ko. Puro kamalasan ang araw na to nakakainis lang. And finally I arrived at the office. As usual busy ang mga tao sa kani-kanilang trabaho, may kausap sa phone, may tinatype sa computer, may nirereview na papers at marami pang klase ng trabaho.
Paupo na sana ako sa station ko ng bigla na lang "Ramira, in my office" a voice full of authority called out to me. Siya lang naman ang may ganoong boses dito sa kompanya, malalim, malaki at very dominant, yeah hind ako nagkamali si Ashton nga, but this time puno ng otoridad ang boses niya. It used to be more lively but not it sounds so serious.
Agad naman akong tumalima, late na nga ako tapos di pa ako susunod agad, baka masibak na ako sa trabaho. Pagdating sa loob ng opisina ng boss namin, nakatalikod ang swivel chair niya, marahil pinagmamasdan ang view sa glass window.
"Why are you late?" it sounded so dangerous na para bang hindi ako pwedeng magkamali ng sagot.
"Uhm, traffic. I'm sorry" well its better to answer him honestly kesa gumawa pa ng ibang dahilan.
"I see." ang ikli lang ng sagot niya. Bago pa siya nagsimulang magsalita ulit iniharap niya ang swivel chair sa akin. "I'll ask you a favor, at hindi ka pwedeng tumanggi since you slam your door in front of me last night"
OMG! It feels like I'm gasping for air and my body is looking for oxygen. Pakiramdam ko din nawalan ng kulay ang mukha ko.
"I'm sorry for last night, it will not happen again sir Ashton"
He finally put a smile on his face, that's what i admire about him. Oh shoot! sige na nga i confess, sinong hindi mahuhulog sa isang Ashton Myles C. Mercado. A rich, sophisticated,handsome bachelor from a wealthy family.
"Be my secretary" natulala ako sa sinabe niya. My lips form into a small circle because of my surprise. Is he also asking me to be his-
"Do not think of anything Ramira, its not because of those things that you've heard with those girls being my secretary, I won't do any harm towards you. Hindi ka ganong babae I can see that." those words left me speechless. So he respects me so much? Talaga ba?
Napatango na lang ako ng bahagya. "So, ano? secretary na ba kita?" tanong niya. Nakakahiyang tumanggi after ng ginawa ko sa kanya kagabi.
"But sir Ashton, are you sure you want me to be your secretary. I will warn you, I'm orgranized when it comes to work and if you have an appointment for a specific day i wont cancel it immediately because you said so, that's how will I work as your secretary." in this way hindi talaga malulugi ang company. Kilala ko si Ashton bilang easygoer, he likes to hang out whenever he wanted to.
Napakibit balikat siya bago sumagot. "Well i have no choice, i need a secretary so, sure. I'll work it that way" sa ganitong paraan mamomonitor ko ang progress ng kompanya.
End of shift....
Nakakapagod din pala maging secretary, too much work to do. Kung dati mga papeles lang na dapat pirmahan ni Ashton ang handle ko ngayon pati schedules niya and i need to confirm it to him first bago ko isettle ang schedule for appointments. I was about to go home when I decided to have a cup of coffee.
Very relaxing ambiance, and a quiet place as well. This is what I always do pag may free time. I used to go here, in this coffee shop with my parents. As I am reminiscing the past, someone is calling in from my cellphone. I answered it after knowing who is calling me.
"Yes tito?"
