Chapter 6: Chelle's Point of view
"Chelle! Pauwi ka na ba?." napalingon ako nang marinig kong may magtanong sakin nyan. Agad ko namang nakita si Blake.
Sukbit nya ang Black Leather Bag nya, habang may ngiting nakapaskil sa mukha nya. I nodded. "Yeah. Ikaw?." i asked back.
He nodded back, "Yes. Sabay na tayo. Ang alam ko iisang route lang naman tayo." he said.
Napuno naman ng pagtataka ang mukha ko. "Isasabay mo ako? Diba may kotse ka?."
He smiled genuinely again, before shaking his head. "Di ko na dinala ang kotse ko. Ang mahal ng gas e. " he said, then he laughed hard.
We'll, tama siya. Mahal nga ang Gas kaya karamihan sa mga ka-officemate namin, nagte-take na lang ng cab.
"--Teka! It means, magco-commute ka?." i shockingly asked.
His brows lifted. "Yeah. I prefer commuting than taking my car with me. Less drive and less gas means less waste of money." he said, chuckingly.
I can help but smile. Blake was really a nice talker.
"Let's take a little walk, mukang walang taxi na dumadaan banda dito." he said. And i must agree with him, wala nga masyadong dumadaang sasakyan dito sa part na to.
"Okay." i answered him, then i started walking while Blake is on my side.
He is still talking, when i felt the phone on my pocket vibrated that interrupted his words.
I look at him for a second to ask his permission--and he nodded so, i took my phone and answered the call without looking at the Caller ID.
"Hello?." i greeted, uncheerfully. This is my great time with Blake, yet it was been interrupted by whoever is this! Psh.
"At my office. Now." then the call ended.
Napakunot-noo lang naman ako dahil sa sinabi 'nung tumawag. Who the hell is that?
I eagerly checked the Caller id---and i almost lost my breath when i read the name who owns the number.
It's the monster.
Sh*t! I cussed in my mind.
"Is there any problem? Who called you?." nabalik lang ang atensyon ko kay Blake nang itanong niya yan.
I shook my head. "Uhh..no--there isn't a problem. But, i have to go back to the office." i explained.
"Why? You forgot something?."
"Uhm...No. I--just need to talk to someone."
"Who?"
I blinked several times, to think if i will tell him or not.
I sighed. "Actually, The monster wants to talk to me." i speak, honestly.
"What? Bakit naman daw?."
"Hindi ko alam. Pero, tingin ko kailangan 'kong pumunta."
"I'll go with you. Wala akong tiwala sa bagong boss naten." Blake said, and by just looking at him i can tell that he is serious.
So i shook my head, consecutively. "No... You need to go home, i can hand---"
"I insist. Let's go." he said, at nauna na siyang maglakad pabalik sa kompanya.
Napabuntung-hininga na lang naman ako, bago sumunod sa kanya.
"Blake ahm.. Thank you for accompanying me here, i.. ahm... really appreciate it." i honestly, speak.
He gave me a sweet smile. "Sure. It's not a problem. I'll wait here for you."
I just answered him a nod, before taking a step towards the monster's office.
Nang mabuksan ko ang pinto, agad na nagtindigan ang balahibo ko dahil sa sobrang lamig sa loob ng opisina nya. Seryoso?
Ilang aircon na ba ang meron dito sa office nya? Bat parang lamig na lamig ata ako?--or maybe...i am just a little scared? ---NAH! THAT WILL NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!
me? Scared of him--That's a big NO!
"Go on. Mukha kang tanga kung nandyan ka lang sa pinto." nabalik ako sa reyalidad nang marinig 'ko ang boses nung halimaw.
Napansin ko din naman na sa lalim ng iniisip ko, nakatulala na lang pala ako at napahinto sa may pintuan. Sht! What a good scene is that Chelle? Psh.
I continued walking until i reached his table, i stand infront of him, brows curled, arms crossed and a death glare can be seen through my eyes.
He is looking at me, again with his dark aura.
"What do you need?." i started.
He grins. "So fierce." he stated.
I rolled my eyes. "Can you just be straight forward?."
He let out a smirk this time. "Seat first. We have to talk over somethings."
I don't know why, but when he said those words...parang nag-iba ata ang bilis ng t***k ng puso ko. Geez!
Don't tell me...
---NAAALALA NYA NA 'YUNG MGA NANGYARI SA BAR? O.O
OH NO! that can't be happening!
No.
I let out a fake laugh, to annoy him. "Sorry, but i think we don't have any things to talk about. And, it's getting late. I need to go home."
"I can send someone to take you home. Let's just talk. Now. Seat." he commanded.
"Sir. I need to go home. And, FYI i'm not YOUR secretary anymore. Right?."
He smirked again, before he laid his back on his chair. "That's what are we going to discuss."
He said, that made me confused. "What do you mean?."
He gulped first, then he look straightly into my eyes. "I want you..." he stopped, na mas lalong nagpakunot ng noo ko. "---to be my secretary."
Mas lalo namang napuno ng pagtataka ang utak ko. What the! Anong sabi nya? Gusto nya akong maging secretary ulit?
Teka nga! Secretary nya? Ako? Ang akala ko ba ayaw nya sakin at sa ugali ko? I remember how he hated to see me?
Then now he want's me to be his secretary again?
I confusingly pointed myself. "M-me?."
He nodded. "Obviously." still arrogant i see.
I rolled my eyes again, before giving him my best fake smile. "Uhm...I really appreciate your offer, but... I don't want to be your secretary. Baka kasi hindi tayo magkasundo."
"You know, we don't have the same beliefs, perceptions and thinking. I guess, we're not compatible to work together." i honestly confessed.
His brows, aligned and his eyes became more sharper. "I'm not asking for your permission, i'm commanding you as your boss." he spoke, then he released a triumph smirk.
I was going to yell at him, when he speak again.
"It means, whether you like it or not... You will be my secretary again. So, welcome back MY secretary." he said, boastfully.
Agad na bumigat ang dibdib ko dahil sa sinabi nya. Gosh! Pagkatapos nya akong ipahiya at sabihang hindi karapat-dapat sa posisyon na to, ngayon ibabalik nya ako na parang walang nangyari?
Is he insane? I'm sure he is planning something. I need to escape this, and stop this bulls-t!
"Sorry, Mr. Florence. But i don't like obeying your order but i can find someone else who c---"
"Be here at sharp 7 tomorrow. We will going to attend a business meeting. You may leave." he said, interrupting my words. Then he left me.
Aba bastos!!
