Earlier she called her grandmother but she kept hearing a busy tone. She waited another hour before she tried to call her grandma again. Finally, someone answered on the other line.
"Hello, La! Who were you talking to earlier?" she immediately greeted her.
"Oh, the owner of the place where you work called me. She has been my customer for a while now."
She frowned. She believed her grandma was referring to Mrs. del Espania.
" Why?" she asked with so much interest.
"She was asking for advice again on what she should do to assure that they will get the contract from the big-time client."
"W-what did you say?" she was even more restless sitting on her bed.
Her grandmother didn't answer for a long time like she was thinking thoroughly.
"I asked her to give me two days so I could consult my crystal ball first."
Now it was her turn to think for a few minutes before saying anything.
"Oh, why are you so anxious for me to a
She stared at her face in the mirror. She just let her curly hair down. She didn't tie it like a bun. She just put on a hair cream so it will be manageable. She was wearing a large heart-shaped earring. She was still wearing big glasses.Her make-up was okay ... She guessed.She stared at herself again. Yeah, her make-up was okay, just perfect for the occasion that night. She was wearing orange lipstick. She also bought shoes that would match what she was wearing, the color was silver.Her rainbow-colored dress was so colorful. She was still feeling a bit awkward because the design of the dress seemed to be fit to her body. She was carrying a purse with her coins and phone inside.She fixed her curly hair again and then called a taxi to take her to the party's venue.As soon as she got out of the taxi, she saw many celebrities entering the vicinity. She just restrained herself from approaching them to take a picture.She handed over the invi
She was surprised when she was called to Mrs. del Espania's office. She had never been to her office not even once. She even knocked before entering. "Come in," she heard Mrs. del Espania's voice. She slowly opened the door of her office. She was even stunned to enter when she saw Clyde and Kyle also sitting inside their grandmother's office. The two were sitting on the small sofa there. She was thinking the old woman would talk to her alone. The three of them were looking at her as she entered. She swallowed a lump in her throat as she remained standing in the doorway. "Good Morning, Tash!" Kyle was the first to greet her. Clyde nodded at her in greeting. "G-good morning," she greeted the three. "Good morning too, Natasha. Come and sit down here," Mrs. del Espania said smiling, even motioning the chair in front of her desk. She immediately approached and looked at the two men first who were just sitting quietly
Zara commanded her to go to the ground floor to assist after her talk with Mrs. del Espania. She wasn't sure if she will be assisting the applicants since Zara did not give any details yet.She was surprised when she saw a line of women in gowns that looked like the one she was wearing at the party and they were also wearing pink rubber shoes!What's up? the question on her mind. She was stunned.She approached them with an astonished face. The guard approached her too."They claimed to be the woman Mr. del Espania was looking for," the guard told her with a big smile on his face.Seriously?She looked at them again. There were more or less ten women who were falling in line. She looked at the women one by one. They were all smiling as if excited. She was even more surprised at a fat woman in the middle whose fabric of the gown she was wearing was about to burst.Really?She didn't know if they were just trying to have fun or i
She was still embarrassed when Mrs. del Espania's driver picked her up at her boarding house. She only carried one suitcase and a big bag because she didn't have many things with her. She was not able to buy a lot of things since she started working in Manila.She requested to be picked up at seven in the evening that Saturday. She packed her things last night. She also cleaned her room and said goodbye to the landlord yesterday.She couldn't put a name to what she exactly felt at that time. She was happy but seemed nervous as well. She was already in the car and looking out the window.She had not yet informed her grandmother that she would be living temporarily at Mrs. del Espania's house because she was so sure she couldn't get away from her grandma's sermon.The guilt was still there but she always reminds herself that she was not a fraud and not a scammer.Not a scam? Then why were you giving instructions to your grandma that would benefit
She was still blinking and was suddenly wide-eyed when she noticed the ceiling. She suddenly looked around. She still frowned when she saw the large room. Only then did she remember that she was living in Mrs. del Espania's house. She smiled as she closed her eyes again and looked up again after a few seconds.She looked at the time. It was only four in the morning and she used to wake up at that time even when she was not working. She got up to sit on the bed first and stretched her both arms. Yawning she picked up her glasses on the table and put them on.Still drowsy she got up and went to the bathroom inside the room. She first looked at her face in the mirror. She really looks like a witch when she wakes up because her curly hair is very messy. She quickly brushed her teeth and just leave her hair down because she was too lazy to comb it.She fixed the bed and then carefully left the room. She thinks everyone is still asleep except maybe the helpers. She do
"My grandmother believes that you are our lucky charm. Unbelievable as it seems, she still believes in predictions and fortune-tellers. My brother, Clyde, is a very devoted grandson. Sad to say, he is still under the control of our grandmother. I love my grandma so much but I just can't say yes to everything she says. But Clyde can sacrifice his own happiness for our grandma especially now that she has health issues," Kyle began with a serious look standing in front of her while she remained seated on his bed.She was no longer shocked by what she heard because she had known a long time ago that Clyde was the good grandson while Kyle was the prodigal one."I'm sure you've heard about my past relationship with Claire. To make the story short, Clyde and Claire are not really in love with each other. It was just an agreement between two families. The agreement was made because of the advice of a fortune teller," Kyle suddenly frowned while explaining to her. He seemed to
She sat on her bed while holding the book of spells and love potions again. She needed that to prove to Kyle that she could make Clyde fall in love with her. She didn't want that time to come when she had no choice but to leave Clyde's life. She did not keep her feelings for the man for several years only to give up on him eventually.Three knocks stopped her from doing what she was doing. She immediately stood up and opened the door. She was surprised to see Kyle standing outside her room.She saw Kyle wearing a white shirt and jeans. The man obviously just taken his bath because she could still smell the soap and shampoo on him."Get dressed, Tash. We're leaving," he said.She would have asked where they were going but he quickly turned his back on her and walked away. She thought of what Mrs. del Espania told her about her work. She said that she should be available anytime, as long as her service is needed she should always be ready.She quickl
She lost track of how long she was sitting in one of the chairs in the salon. She even thinks she fell asleep while the stylist was busy doing things in her face and hair. There were times that he tapped her cheeks lightly to wake her up if he needed to rinse her hair. While all of these are happening, she watches Kyle’s reflection through the mirror and sees that his attention is all on his phone. She even saw him go out once to talk to someone from his phone. Natasha tried to ignore it and put her attention to the ladies giving her a manicure and pedicure.“We’re almost done. But I don’t think your outfit suits your new look. Are those your clothes? The ones Mr. Handsome was holding? You should change first before I put my finishing touches,” The stylist said while looking at her eyes through the mirror.“I don’t think I need to. We’ll just go straight home once we’re done here, anyway,” she declined.
