"Done" I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Mr. Riv--Jerwin's voice. It felt weird calling my boss by his first name.
"Uhh, salamat sir" I said. Bago pa sya tumayo para iligpit ang first aid kit, inunahan ko na sya. He stopped his attempt to stand up at hinayaan akong ligpitin ang first aid nya.
"Next time, when that woman comes, don't let her come in" I heard him say while walking towards his desk.
"Yes sir" Sagot ko bago naglakad papunta sa harapan nya. He looks up at me.
"May kailangan pa po ba kayo, sir?" I asked.
He stared at me for a while before shfting his gaze towards his papers and shook his head indicating that he doesn't need anything.
"Just call me if you need anything, Sir" I slightly bowed at him kahit di sya nakatingin saka ako lumabas ng opisina nya.
I sat at my chair then sigh tiredly. I lean my head on the table then closed my

After contemplating whether I'll knock on his door or not, nagdecide akong manatili nalang sa kinauupuan ko at balikan ang mga papeles na nasa mesa ko. As lunch came, hindi ko alam kung bababa ba ko o magsi stay since wala naman akong ganun kakilala dito na co- employee ko. Kinuha ko nalang ang cellphone ko but natigil ako when I remember what Mr. Rivera said this morning. "Tell me if it's your lunch time" So, should I knock now and tell him na lunch time ko na? Pero naputol ang pag iisip ko when the door of his office opens then he came out. Our gazes immediately locks. "It's lunch" he simply said making me nod in approval. Akala ko aalis na sya but I got confused when he stayed standing infront of his door. What's with him? "Don't forget the party tomorrow night. We will go there by 6PM" he just said at naglakad na papaalis.

Hindi na ko nag abalang mag almusal dahil wala narin akong oras. Dumiretso na agad ako sa opisina. My mom insisted na magbaon ako kaso sabi ko, sa opisina nalang ako bibili. It's currently 6:05 AM. Late ako ng 5 minutes kaya naman nagmadali akong umakyat sa top floor where Mr. Rivera's office is. Nadaanan ko din ang ibang employee na kakadating lang at nagse-set up palang ng computer nila. Ang iba naman, may hawak pang mga kape. Iba, humihikab pa. "Venice!" I heard someone called. A girl wearing a white longsleeves and skirt approached me. She's wearing a smile kaya naman nagtaka ako. "Yes?" "Ikaw yung new secretary ni Sir Rivera diba?" Tumango naman ako. I got confused when her smile grow wider. "I heard what you did to Lira" she said at lalo pang lumawak ang ngiti nya. "That bitch doesn't deserve to be here! Desperada" her mood suddenly changes. F

A knock on the door was heard. Hindi ko na inantay na sya pa ang magbukas, ako na ang tumayo at nagbukas ng pintuan. "Oh hi Venice" Said the girl who talked to me this morning. The girl who I don't know the name yet. "Hi" sabi ko. She handed me what she's holding then I saw her smirks playfully before shifting her gaze to Jerwin and back at me. What's with this weird girl? "Sige, alis na ko. Enjoy" sabi nya saka naglakad pero nakakailang hakbang palang sya nang lingunin nya ko. "By the way, my name is Hera and I'm at the marketing department. I want to be friends with you! Bye!" She said then run to the elevator. The employees' elevator. "Is there something wrong?" I turned around and saw Jerwin who's standing up and leaning on his desk. "Nothing sir. Here's your breakfast" sabi ko saka inilapag ang plastic bag na inihatid ni Hera sa center table.

"Salamat Mr. Rivera. I really made the right choice of trusting you" Mr. Montreal said at nakipag kamay kay Jerwin. His secretary smiles at me before they leave. "Sir, do you want to stay here or babalik ka na sa opisina mo?" I asked him. Mukha kasing wala syang balak tumayo. "Neither. We're going somewhere" he said then stood up at nauna nang naglakad. Akala ko magsi stay pa sya dito. This restaurant is great tho. Has a refreshing ambiance. I might visit here some other time. Kung may pera akong pang order. I immediately followed Jerwin. Papunta na sya sa kotse nya. Agad din naman akong sumakay sa passenger seat and fasten my seatbelt. "We're going to my aunt's boutique. We need to choose an outfit for the party tonight" he said while his eyes are focused on the road. Oh! Kaya naman pala. Hindi nalang ako nagsalita. Pinanood ko nalang ang mga taong

"Anak, aalis kana? Magtataxi ka nalang ba papunta don?" My mom asked habang pababa ako ng hagdanan. Malapit nang mag 6 PM and I should go to the office now. I shouldn't make my boss wait for me. "Opo, ma" I said then kiss her on cheeks. My father stood up and kissed me on my forehead. "Take care" he said before going back on his seat. "Sige na, Venice. You should go. Baka ma-late ka pa" my mom said kaya hindi na ko nag atubiling maglakad palabas ng bahay. I was about to call a taxi when I noticed a black ferreri parked not so far from our house. And the door suddenly opened and the driver stepped outside. "Sir?" Gulat na sabi ko. Naglakad naman sya papunta sakin and he smiled. "You look good wearing that dress" he said then I already felt my cheeks burning. "Thank you" I answered. His smile remains on his face as silence surrounded us. Naputol lang

The whole venue screams elegance and richness. Halata palang sa gate ng venue and the red carpet. Huminto kami to atleast let the media takes photo of us. Medyo hindi padin ako sanay sa ganito. Back then, when we were still rich, my mom and dad lang ang pumupunta sa mga ganitong event at halos araw araw silang nasa newspaper. Business news kumbaga. Ako, bilang lang sa kamay kung ilang beses ako umattend sa mga ganito. This isn't my forte. I prefer to stay at home and spend time with him. "Jerwin! Venice! You're finally here!" I saw Jerwin's mom approaching us. Nasa likod nya ang isang lalaki na tingin ko ay asawa nya. "Hi Mom. Hi Dad" Jerwin greeted then kissed his mom on her cheeks at niyakap nya ang kanyang ama. But, bakit di rin nya kamukha yung tatay nya? Naputol ang trains of thoughts ko when his father approached me. "Hi iha. You're my son's s

My eyes widen. I know, normal question lang naman yung tinanong nya but I think, I should be the one asking him that, right? I came here as his secretary so, I should assist him. I heard Yohan whistles playfully pero wala samin ang tumingin sakanya. "Venice?" Jerwin's voice snapped me out of my trance. I immediately keep my phone and noticed na nagkakainan na pala yung ibang guests. Some waiters roaming around to give drinks. And some people, walking to the line where the catering is. "Uhh sir. What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you" sabi ko saka tumayo. Sya naman ngayon ang nagulat. He cleared his throat again and shift to his seat at umiwas ng tingin. I patiently waiting for him to say something. He sighed then look at me. "Just get what food you want" he said before shifting his attention towards the people. I heard Yohan's chuckle pero hindi ko na niling

Friday morning. It's my third day working here. Maaga akong pumasok dahil hindi rin naman ako ganung nakatulog dahil sa kagabi. I started doing my work nang marinig kong magbukas ang elevator. My heart suddenly beats fast dahil alam ko kung sino yun. "Morning" I heard him greeted kaya huminga ako ng malalim at itinigil ang pagta type ko saka tumayo. "Goodmorning, sir" I flashed a smile before sitting down again. Mabuti at hindi ako nautal. He entered his office kaya mas naging focus ako sa pagtatrabaho. Hinihintay ko na utusan nya ko pero wala pa naman. "Excuse me!" I heard a harsh voice and a slam on my table. Nag angat ako ng tingin then I saw the woman again. Lira. "Yes? Do you need anything?" I asked at agad binalik ang tingin ko sa computer. I heard her breathe harshly before slamming the table again. "Hey you! Wag ka ngang ba
