A Desire To Last A Lifetime 26- "Personal Secretary."
After a series of rejections, I found myself applying for jobs as an English teacher in private schools, despite the fact that I absolutely don't want to teach or find the career to be neither interesting or exciting."You're qualified for the job and we honestly liked the way you delivered yourself during your interview and demonstration, but unfortunately, we can only hire teachers who have already passed the board examinations for our institution. I’m sorry, hija."I couldn't help but be bitter. Board passer? As far as I know, private schools do not require licensure passer teachers! What's that? They're now labeling their standards to the standards of public and government-owned schools?!I haven't taken the teacher's licensing exam yet, thus I don't have a LET passer credential. I didn't really have any plans back then, and I didn't want to teach, either. The truth was my close friends who used to like teaching were the reason behind me taking this course, but fashion is where my
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 27- "Be with me all the time..."
All the heat I was feeling flew straight to my head, and my blood began to boil violently.Just what?! I'm hired? But not as a fashion designer and instead, as his personal secretary? F*ck him to core! Son of a b*tch!“D*mn you!”There was no point trying to be nice anymore as I already had enough of his wickedness! Besides, he had never been nice to me, either!He chuckled when he got back to his table."You're welcome, sweetie!" he responded teasingly and sarcastically.I glared at him viciously! If dagger eyes could kill, he might have been laying on the floor now and sweating his own blood! How I hated him!"When would you like to begin working, anyway? If you want, you can start right away at this day or this very moment, no problem with me. But the first day of official work is tomorrow, and it's necessary, so don't be late. I'm advising you," he spoke with serious authority.Okay, I know... When he says it, he does it!He was able to block my applications to other companies an
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 28- "Coffee."
Fabio was being unfair to me even in front of his sister and Danette!The Deputy General Manager turned to Danette. "Did you find the files I asked you to look for, Danette?"Danette nodded at the beautiful boss. "Yes, Miss. It's on my desk."Natasya smiled and nodded. "Great. Let's go."She even grinned at her bro before she and Danette passed by us. The latter followed her and waved her goodbye to me and to my boss.I smiled in response.To my surprise, I discovered that the Deputy General Manager's office is near my boss's. Just about three offices apart. Danette sat down at the desk outside Miss Natasya's office and began working. Thus, Danette is in fact Miss Natasya's secretary.Suddenly, I feel the urge to replace my current boss with Danette's boss! Deputy General Manager herself appears to be nicer and fairer than her brother Fabio, who seems like a monster boss!Fabio entered his office and I followed."You're not doing your responsibilities…" he asked brutally as he walked
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 29- "Romantic involvement..."
"Tami?"I seek the familiar voice of the person who just called my name.A friend of mine surprised me at the workplace while I was at my desk and in the middle of my duty."Chris! It was you!”Who would’ve thought that we’d see each other here in San Pablo! He even seemed to have found out the place I currently work for.“So, I was right all along! You were staying here in this city. We’ve been looking for you everywhere all this time, Tami!” he said, cooly.He seemed to be happy to have finally found my whereabouts at the moment, and I couldn’t deny that even if it was unexpected, I was also happy to see one of my friends here.I smiled and nodded. “Yeah.”“Why are you in this place, by the way?” He seemed to look around to see a clearer picture. “No, don’t tell me, you’re working for this company?”“Yes, Chris. This is where I work currently.” I shrugged my shoulders. “It’s a long story.”“But why?” He was still confused. “And what’s your job here? Don’t tell me you’re serving and
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 30- "Close..."
Chris responded with a simple shrug.I wasn’t completely convinced, though! I loved seeing that one day he and Natasya would go on a date! That would definitely be cute!"Alright. I have to go now because I still have to run some errands. Bye, Tamara. Nice seeing you here." He casually kissed my cheek and waved goodbye.I nodded and waved, too. "Bye, Christian! Nice to see you!"Not so long after and I was watching his back going his way to the elevator."Take care!"Before he got there, the lift opened and a naturally tan-skinned woman went out of it.The air of sultriness she exuded as she strolled through the hallway caused me to almost jaw-dropped. She wore a white bodycon dress and her black hair was a little long.She had a gentle face and the word ‘beautiful’ was a total understatement to describe her!Christian stopped and looked at her.“Hi, Miss!” he even greeted her nicely to get her attention.But I didn’t know if she didn’t hear him or if she really had intentionally igno
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 31- "Ethan..."
SUNDAY morning and it was my day off so I went to church.After the mass, I went straight to the mall and do some window shopping to breathe some cool air. Next week is when my salary is scheduled to be given, so for the time being, I'd just window shop."Tamara?"When I heard my name, I looked in the direction of the familiar voice. At first, he looked hesitant but when I turned to face him, his expression brightened and he made a wide smile."Tan!""Tamara, it's really you!"He hugged me gently in his friendliest manner."Can't believe I'll see you here! What are you doing here in San Pablo?"I smiled and shrugged. "Well, obviously... hiding.""What? Why?" He was a little confused, but that was just for a while. “Oh yeah, you left Calamba and didn’t leave any trace, and that’s maybe the reason why you’re here.”I sighed and nodded. I was happy, anyway, to have seen and bumped into him today in this place unexpectedly. He’s Ethan and one of our close friends in our circle."It's actu
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 32- "Sensible."
To be honest, I could still remember that there was a time long ago when he actually showed motive into pursuing me and hitting on me to become his girlfriend, it was just that I had to turn him down because I see him as a friend and like almost every boy in our group, I treat all of them as my brothers, so I never wanna get involved in any romantic relationship with any of them and then ruin our friendship later on. And I never regretted my decisions, I never had any issues with them and we’re still close friends up to date. I’m so supportive and happy for them whenever they find a woman who could make them smile for life.Back to reminiscing, I laughed smoothly and shook my head. I didn't want to give malice to what Ethan said to motivate me because we’re friends and maybe he’s just like that to all of his friends.“Thanks, Ethan! That’s well-appreciated.” I meant it, seeing this kind of motivation as a cheer from a close friend who wanted to make me feel good to lessen my anxiety
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 33- "Stupid cupid."
I grinned and shook my head humbly as I continued with my meal.Midway through it, I had the uneasy feeling that I was being watched by a pair of sharp eyes. Even though it was cold in the mall, I felt hot for some reason!In an effort to determine the source of my uneasiness, I focused my gaze on Ethan and realized that the only other person who could have possibly caused me to feel this way was sitting at a table just four seats away from us.Fabio's intense stare made me feel like he was going to devour me. I noticed him gritting his jaw and clenching his teeth.Unthinkingly, I averted my gaze and made every effort to avoid meeting his penetrating eyes. His menacing glare made me nervous that I might suddenly lose control of my senses."You okay? Why does it seem like you suddenly saw a ghost?" Ethan asked with confusion.Oh, what ghost? Fabio’s definitely not a ghost but rather a monster!I shook my head and forced a smile. “I’m okay, Tan. It’s nothing.”He didn’t appear to be con
