Chapter 2 : New work, New life, New Secretary

I woke up feeling grateful that this is finally the day that I will be having an interview. I should work hard to get this job. The sky is clear and the clouds looks calm, sumasabay yata ito sa mood ko ngayong araw.

“Good morning nay, tay”. I actively uttered with a smile drawn in my lips

They looked at me with a curious face. (What happen to you nak? Your expression is unusual?) I think that was they were thinking right now. But before I could even spill the good news to them. I should pass this interview first to be officially employed.

Malapit lang naman ang bayan ng Maynila dito sa amin, I mean hindi naman ganoon kalayo kung tutuusin. Binigay sa akin ni tito ang address ng kompanya, nakakalula mang isipin ngunit isa pala ito sa mga matatanyag na kompanya sa buong Pilipinas. Ang Universal Robina Company, sila ang nagre-release ng mga iba’t ibang Orphanage program at sila rin ang nagtatag ng iba’t Ibang bahay ampunan sa lugar.

Kilala sila bilang child-friendly Company. Kadalasan sa mga produkto nila ay mga gamit pambata. Sa tingin ko, mababait ang mga makakasama ko sa trabahong to, lalong lalo na ang boss. Rinig rinigan ko kasi kung gaano tumulong ang May ari ng kompanyang ito sa mga bata lalo na sa mga orphanage.

Hindi naman ako gaano nag research, eh hindi ko nga kilala kung sino ang magiging boss ko dito e.

[ ENZO’S POV ]

Enzo Waylen Romero, I am the youngest CEO who take over the Company after my Father feels weak and he actually staying in his bed with a bunch of nurses. He Let me take over the company but sometimes he still visits the company when he felts fine.

“Dahliaa” I strongly uttered with a loud and scary voice

“Y-yes s-sir?”Pautal- Utal na wika ni Dahlia, isa sa mga stuff ko habang nakayuko lamang ito.

In this company, I am the boss. Everyone should obey me, everyone is scared in me, and everyone knew who really I am.

I’m not that sweet Enzo they see on social media, I’m not actually like that...trust me

“Where’s my new secretary? Make sure that when I came back later, she’s already here”. I uttered with a strong and deep voice

”Yes sir! There is already an applicant for that. It’ll be her interview now”. Dahlia uttered

“Good”. I respond

This is the 10th time i will be going to hire a secretary. Dahil ang mga past secretary ko na hindi man lang tumagal ng ilang buwan ay sadyang nag resign na. Hindi na yata nila kinaya ang ugali ko.

[ ATHENA’S POV ]

When I arrive in the company, sa sobrang aga ko ay kakabukas lang ng kompanya. Ang guards ay yaring nagkakape pa. I walk towards the company with a happy and joyful smile.

“Good morning mga manong guards, Fresh na fresh ha”. Wika ko sa maamo at masiglang boses

“Uy ang aga niyo naman maam, anong atin?” Ani ng isa sa mga guards sabay ang pag aya sa akin na magkape

“Job interview ko kasi ngayon, I apply as a secretary”. Masaya kong pagpapaliwanag

Nabigla ako nang bigla nalang tumawa ang mga guards

“Why are you laughing? May nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko??”. I uttered while raising my eyebrows at them

“Wala naman maam, nabigla lang naman kami kasi nung nakaraang araw lang, may nag apply tapos ngayon may mag aaply nanaman”. Wika ng isa pa sa mga guards

“Wait, what? Ibig sabihin ba nito ay agad na finafired ng boss niyo ang naging Secretary niya nakaraan? For what, Hindi niya ba nagustuhan ang Secretary niya noon?”. Nag aalala kong tanong

“Hindi naman maam, ang mga Secretary na mismo ang nag reresign”. Pagpapaliwanag pa ng nasabing guard

What? What are they trying to say? Ibig sabihin ba nito ay May problema sa magiging boss ko? Ba’t naman mag reresign nang ganun ka dali ang mga Secretary niya?

“Bakit naman ganun? Huwag niyong sabihin na obsessive, manyak, at abusive ang magiging boss ko. O baka naman may diperensya sa pag iisip. Alin sa mga dun?”. Mabilis kong ani at tumawa lamang ang mga guards

“Nakakatawa ka naman maam, syempre wala sa mga dun. Napaka advance niyo namang mag isip”. Ani ng guard na ikina kalma ng aking damdamin.

Aanhin ko naman ang magandang trabaho at malaking sweldo kung ang magiging trabaho ko naman ay taliwas sa dignidad ko.

“Eh ano, what’s the reason?”. I curiously asked na napapakunot na ng noo ko

Sumenyas ang isa sa mga guard na mukhang May ibubulong sa akin kaya agad akong lumapit upang makinig.

“Wala pang nakaka alam kung ano ang dahilan ng agad na pag reresign ng mga Secretary niya pero sa pagkaka alam ko, masungit at medyo bossy ang boss natin kaya yata agad na sumusuko ang mga nagiging Secretary niya dahil sa kanyang ugali”. Bulong sa akin ng guard

If that’s the case then okay, yan lang naman pala. Basta I believe in myself na I can handle it, I can handle him

Hindi pa nakakatapos magpaliwanag ang guard ay agad na akong tinawag ni tito para sa job interview.

”Mag iingat ka maam”. Yan lang ang huli kong narinig at mariing ngumiti lamang sa mga guard bago pumasok sa mismong kompanya.

When I enter the Company. Napa wow ako sa aking mga nakita. Golden chandeliers, elegant design ng bawat wall, tables, and even chairs. May malaking Tag ng Universal Robina sa May itaas nito na May napaka gandang disenyo. Napakalaki pala talaga nito sa loob, malawak, at marami pang Ibang nanggagandahang designs, di nako magtataka pagka’t isa ito sa mga sikat na Kompanya sa buong bansa.

Maraming mga Stuff ang narito ngayon sa loob at agad nakong ini assist ni tito sa may counter area kung saan ako iinterviehin.

I nervously walked with tito beside me, kinakabahan ako na may halong excitement dahil sa wakas iinterviehin nako.

Kinuha ko ang mga papeles ko sa bag at agad itong ini abot sa mag iinterview sa akin.

“Good morning maam, I am Athena Lhier Juarez, I am 31 years old. A cum laude graduate from the university of Calamba and my major is Social science. This is my first time working, but don’t worry I am well trained due to Studying and I am proud to say that I have the knowledge and skills you’ve been finding for”. Mahaba kong salaysay na may nakangiting mukha.

Relax Thena, you can do it! Just be yourself!

“Oh good, I guess you are perfect for this job but may I ask if you have any experiences about this job?”. The interviewer asked

The most scariest question. I gulp but when I’m about to respond, a handsome looking guy wearing a formal suit, tall with milky skin enter the door with a misterious body guard beside him.

He looks familiar.

The stuff around me including the interviewer beside me stood up while nakayuko lamang. I’m a bit confuse, why does they bowed their head down to this guy?

”Good morning sir”. Everyone greeted

Sir? They mean their boss? After thinking that, I immediately bow my head down.

This guy will be my boss? How’s great. He is the heaven’s gift from above. A totally an angel falls from the sky!!

I smiled but when their boss shouted angrily in her stuffs, I was shocked

“Dahlia!!”. Their boss shouted with a deep and strong voice then a girl immediately run towards her boss

“S-sir?”. The girl so called Dahlia uttered na pa utal utal na dahil sa kaba

“Where is my new secretary? I needed her right now”. The boss uttered

When Dahlia, the interviewer, and my tito pointed their hand in me.

I was shocked.

“W-what m-me?”. Pautal utal kong ani dahil sa pagkabigla
