Present day
PINAGPAPAWISAN siya habang nasa loob ng pribadong rest room ni Don Eduardo. Pagpasok pa lang niya sa opisina ng Don ay bigla na siyang kinabahan lalo na ng makita niya ang reaksyon nito sa suot niya.
She’s wearing a knee length red dress.
Her long hair was set in a classic French bun, a matching red chopstick held it firmly in place. Both her hair and dress compliment her beauty. The fabric hugged the curves of her body and the backless dress showed her flawless skin. No single freckles were visible.
The front of her dress looked conservative but still, it revealed the fullness of her breast.
It’s a cocktail dress, inappropriate office attire.
She arrived earlier. Tahimik siyang pinapasok ng sekretarya ni Don Eduardo pero alam niyang nagulat ito ng makita ang suot niya. Malayong malayo kasi iyon sa konserbatibong blouse at skirt na suot niya kahapon. Nang makalagpas siya rito, narinig niya ang medyo malakas nitong pangsinghap, marahil ng makita kung gaano kalalim ang likuran ng kanyang suot na halos umabot na sa buttocks niya.
Dapat ay nagdala siya ng coat.
But she needed to set aside her shyness, her plan was to shock Don Eduardo and made him change his mind.
Pero hindi iyon nangyari. Sa halip na madismaya sa nakitang ayos niya ay parang naaliw pa ito sa nakita. He didn’t look surprised at all but instead, he looked amused and excited.
He said he’ll introduce her to the one who will train her to manage the company.
She regretted wearing this seductive dress. Her plans backfired at her. Sa halip na pagsisihan nito ang ginawang pagpili sa kanya, he looked triumphant. For sure mapapahiya siya sa taong magtuturo sa kanya.
“Katrina hija, lumabas ka na riyan. Narito na ang hinihintay natin.” Narinig niyang sabi nito.
“One minute Lolo,” she answered.
She checked herself in the mirror one last time. She took a deep breath.
"Katrina, kaya mo iyan!”
