ISSABELE
I woke up feeling so dizzy after only four hours of sleep.
I've got so much work to finish at the office and a lot of meetings that I need to attend to...I didn't even have time to eat yesterday!
My life is so freaking hectic!
I quickly hop into the shower to clean myself before I head downstairs where leo is already waiting for me.
I'm kinda shocked by the way he looks today...
He is wearing a very formal suit that highlight his handsome face...his slick back style of hair that is all combed to back and secured with a pomade made him look so mature and sexy....
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tanong niya pagkababa ko ng haghan...hindi ko namalayang tinititigan ko na pala siya...
Sino ba naman kasing makakatiis na hindi siya titigan gayong sobrang gwapo ng pormahan niya ngayon.
Gusto ko ngang sabunutan ang sarili ko dahil sa mga papuring ibinibigay ng isip ko sa kanya pero mag sisinungaling naman ako kung sasabihin kong hindi ako nagagwapuhan sa kanya.
Pero kailangan kong pigilan ang sarili ko dahil dapat kong tandaan na isa lamang siya sa mga kasangkapan ko para sa plano kong magkaroon ng anak!
I can't allow myself to fall for him!
"Looking like what?" taas kilay na Balik na tanong ko sa kanya.
"Looking at me so scary... You're looking at me like you're about to kill me!" napataray ako sa sinabi niya ...may pag ka oa siya at pagka isip bata...
Yan ang napansin ko sa kanya sa pamamalagi niya rito ng isang linggo.
"Tsss don't be such a pussy... I'm just looking at you because you look neat today," sambit ko sa kanya na ikinatuwa niya naman dahik abot tainga ang pagkakangiti niya.
"Really? Do I look handsome?" He ask in confidence.
Inayos ayos Pa niya ang suit niya para mag pasikat.
"No you still looks like an idiot but that's fine!" Pagsisinungaling ko sa kanya sabay irap kahit na gustong gusto kong purihin ang pagiging magandang lalaki niya sa suot niya.
He pouted his lips because of what I said and damn that's so cute!
"Come on let's go! We're gonna be late,"pag yaya ko sa kanya at sumunod naman siya sa akin.
Ipinagbukas niya ako ng Pinto ng sasakyan at inalalayang sumukay.
Siya na rin ang pinagmaneho ko ng sasakyan para naman my pakinabang siya.
LEO
Tahimik ang naging byahe namin papunta sa office dahil hindi naman makausap si Issabele.
Maya't maya ko siya sinusulyapan pero lagi lamang siyang nakatutok sa cellphone at tablet niya...
Kung hindi nag titext ay sumasagot ng tawag mula sa kung sino sinong tao na may kinalaman sa businesses niya.
Pag karating namin sa building ay ipinarada ko ang sasakyan niya sa parking spot na reserve lamang para sa kanya.
Inalalayan ko siyang bumaba ng sasakyan pero....
"OUCH!"
"Ohhhh ayos ka lang ba?" Tanong ko sa kanya ng saluhin ko siya matapos siyang muntik nang mahulog sa pag baba sa sasakyan.
Bahagyang nalikot ang mga mata niya ng mag tama ang aming paningin kaya agad na nag bawi siya.
Tinabig niya ang kamay ko at dali daling inayos ang sarili niya.
"I'm fine I just feel a little bit dizzy..." walang emosyong sabi niya at nag patuloy na sa paglakad.
"Uhh you're welcome!" I said sarcastically but she just kept on walking.
The moment we walked in to the building you can see how the employees automatically bowed their heads and cleared the way.
The moment they laid eyes on Issabele everything became silent...
Ang daanan na puno ng mga taong nag tatawanan kanina ay nahawi na para bang dinaanan ng ipo-ipo.
I was left in awe...
"Wow! I guess I'm not the only one who feels intimidated by you huh?! " pang asar na bulong ko sa tabi niya.
"Shut up!" Siniko niya ako sa sikmura at tatawa tawa lang ako sa kanya.
I thought I was just exaggerating things when I say that she's a mean person, but seeing how those people avoided her proves me right.
"Mike coffee!" utos niya sa secretary pag karating namin sa opisina niya.
"How about you sir?" Tanong sa akin ng tinawag niyang mike.
"Ahmm I'll have...."
"He's fine! He doesn't drink coffee...and he's not a visitor here!" Mataray na putol niya sa sinabi ko.
Tinignan ko siya ng masama pero inirapan lang niya ako.
Bruhang to! hindi ba pwedeng pag kapehin man lang niya ako considering na pinilit niya akong maging s*x slave niya!
Minutes later mike came back with a cup of coffee and handed it to her.
"Hey you!" tawag ni issabele sa akin.
"Me?" Tanong ko na itinuturo ang sarili ko.
"Yeah you! May iba Pa bang Tao rito?nakakakita ka ba ng hindi nakikita ng iba?!" She said sarcastically
I rolled my eyes at her for being petty.
bakit ba hindi nalang siya sumagot ng maayos at kailangan niya laging maging sarcastic?!
"Mike this is leo...please train him well...and please be patience with he's a little bit dumb," she said while looking at me with a smirk.
Napaawang ang bibig ko dahil sa sinabi niya...
"A-ano? dumb?!" hindi makapaniwalang sabi ko, "Did you know that I gradua.... " agad niyang pinutol ang sinabi ko.
"Ok! Ok! Thanks mike! You're the best!" Papuri niya kay mike na hudyat din para hilahin na ako nito palabas.
"What a b***h!" I said feeling so annoyed
"I heard that!"she shouted as we exited her office.
Mike chuckle beside me before pointing me to where My seat was.
"Here you can seat here," mike said.
I sat down frowning.
"You're her assistant?" tanong ko sa kanya na nakasimangot.
"Yeah," he replied with a smile on his face.
"How long have you been working here?" I asked mike in curiosity
"Hmmm for about five years I guess..." he replied proudly and my mouth fell open.
"Five years?!!" I exclaimed in shock
"Geezz dude...why are so shock?" Mike ask while laughing softly.
"Five years and yet you're still alive? Wow... How can you survive working with that horrible woman?!" I asked in amusement.
"You're overacting! She's not that bad... She's actually very sweet once you get to know her..." Mike said with full of admiration on his face.
You can clearly see how he respect her but I don't see how and why.
"Her? Sweet? Nahh uhh!" I dont think she's capable of such things!" I said bitterly.
Manang lina also said the same thing...they said that she's sweet and good at them but towards me she's just mean and always sarcastic...
Maybe she just doesn't like me.
"Mabait siya promise...tsaka paano mo nagagawang icriticize siya?she's our boss,"
Mike just laugh at me and handed me a bunch of papers for me to staple.
"Hindi ka pa ba mag lalunch?" I asked Issabele.
It's already lunch break but she still haven't move in her seat...
"Ahmm I'll eat later... I just need to finish this... Go ahead and eat without me," malumanay na sabi niya na hindi man lang nag aangat ng tingin.
"You sure? I can buy you lunch and bring it here if you want?" I suggest but she just look at me in a very scary way possible.
"I said go ahead without me... Dont make me repeat my self again!" She said strongly
"Okay...fine," I raise my hands in surrender.
nag mamagandang loob na nga sa kanya galit pa!
hindi siguro nakaranas ng pag mamahal to kaya ganito!
"I was just being nice...does she really have to be angry?" I talk to my self as I walk out of the building and walk to the nearest restaurant.
I choose to eat in a Chinese restaurant in front of the building...the food in company canteen is not appetising that's why I choose to eat here.
"Hi, mind If I sit here?" Ask the lady in front of me.
"Yeah sure!" I said while smiling sweetly.
At last I finally encounter someone with a nice smile...unlike that issabele who's so grumpy!
I rolled my eyes to my self.
"Thanks,you work there?" She asked pointing to the building where I work.
"Yeah... " tipid na sagot ko at ngumiti
"Really?! Me too!" She said excitedly
"Wow... That's great!"
"Yeah...but I kinda new here so I don't have much friend so it's kinda boring.
"Yeahhh you don't say," I chuckled a little.
"You're also new here?"
"Yeah! I hope we got along... I don't have friend here also," I said to her smiling.
"uhh ako nga pala si linda! sa accounting ako naka assign," pag papakilala niya at inilahad ang kamay niya para nakipagkamay.
"oh I'm leo," sambit ko ay tinanggap ang kamay niya.
She keeps on talking while we eat and I must admit, she's kinda funny...she kept on joking and she's really fun to be with.
"Okay dito na ang pwesto ko, see you around," I said to her when we got back to the building..
Funny enough she's just a few cubicles aways from me.
She waved at me and get back to her post.
ISSABELE
I finally finish half of my paper work so I got up from my seat and stretches my back and neck....
Tanghali palang pero pakiramdam ko pagod na pagod na agad ako! ano pa kaya mamayang gabi!
I look outside of my office and I saw leo...with another woman!
"Ughh the nerve of this man!"
I can see his wide smile though the glass door of my office...
Really? It's his first day here but he's already flirting?!!
The nerve!
I walk out of my office and go to his cubicle beside mike's cubicle just outside my office.
"You need something maam?" Mike ask and stand up quickly.
"No mike...I need leo here to buy me lunch!" I said raising my eyebrows.
"Me? But you I thought you said you don't want me to buy you something?" Nag tatakang sabi ni leo
"Yeah... And I change my mind!here buy me something to eat." Utos ko sa kanya while handing him money
"What food do you want?" He ask
"I want something from that Italian restaurant a block from here," I said to him.
He nodded and go ahead and buy me food from that restaurant a little far from here.
minutes later he came back with the food...sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Italian! Here you go...enjoy your lunch," he said smiling...
"Thanks!" I said, "Oh on the other hand can you buy me something from that Chinese restaurant?" I said as he was about to exit my office.
"You don't like it? "He asked talking about the food he just brought.
"Oh I dont feel like eating italian right now," I said to him
He the scratches his nape but still obey me.
I plastered an evil smile on my face as I watch him from the glass window running like a mad man on the road.
Not long after he came back with the Chinese food that I told him to buy.
"Oh great you're here! I change my mind and I think I want something Spanish right now!" I said acting a little guilty even though I enjoy making him suffer!
"Are you kidding me? You know it's like 50 degrees outside right?" sambit niya na may halong pagrireklamo.
kitang kita na kasi ang pagod sa mukha niya pero parusa iyan para sa pakikipag flirt niya sa first day niya sa trabaho!
"Oh my gosh! Are you complaining on your first day?" I ask guilt tripping Him which by the way is effective.
"Ugh fine! Spanish it is!" He said rolling in eyes in surrender and then go back outside to buy me spanish food...
I laugh so hard watching him in the window running like a whacko trying to find Spanish restaurant when there's none...
I know I'm cruel for sending him out to buy something that I know he couldn't find there...but that's his punishment for annoying me after flirting with that woman!
"There's no Spanish restaurant there... I already search everywhere!" He said gasping trying to catch his breath.
I felt bad for him seeing that he's soaking in sweat and gasping for air after running...but the other side of me is laughing
"Oh I know! There's no Spanish restaurant down there...i just want to punish you that's all!" I said to him holding my laughter.
"You what?! You know I won't
find what you want there but sends me anyway?! You're a horrible woman!" He said with anger and exhaustion written all over his face.
"I'll take that as a compliment! Now leave," I said coldly and chased him out.
He hit me with a deadly stare before walking out slamming the door on his way out.
I can see how upset he was mumbling something in his cubicle but I just laugh at him.
"In fairness masarap siyang asarin ha..." I said to my self laughing.
