Chapter 2

I returned my gaze to the large building of

Stell. Falcon Entertainment, which I had never seenbefore in all the companies and buildings I had

visited.

This time, however, things are different.

I couldn't look at every building I'd been to beforebecause of the many rejections and insults I'd 

received, but now I can.

I turned around with a large smile on my face and the dried years are now vanished. 

This time is different

I can return to this building without anguish or rejection every day since it is the only place that has embraced me despite my life's failings.

Indeed, after the rain, there is always a rainbow.

This is my rainbow, this structure, and the boss who took me on. I've finally gotten a job!

Indeed, it is because of their ability to look at each person's capacity rather than their degree or which school are you graduated. 

I've even heard that secretary Lett-lette is still in high school. Silas, Mr. Stephony's father, had previously recruited her as his secretary. Because of her good service and being the effective secretary she stayed longer to them and until his father filed retirement.

They were already waiting for me on the table when I arrived home, and when they spotted me, they clapped their hands. We were discussing how I metmy boss, and I noticed Cassia's eyes light up 

whenever I mention my boss. I rolled my eyes to her, well Cassia's look at me with a grin. 

Mr. Stephony Falcon is more likely a god like Hades. He's hunk and sometimes scary. He, sometimes the type of man who wanted the woman to please him every love-making. 

My one week has turned into a month, and I can 

honestly say that I enjoyed working as a secretary here. I am also tenacious in arriving two hours 

before my scheduled call time.Because I had a lot of papers to check, I always stayed at his office.

"Daniel, I have to do an errand to the lower floor."

Mr.. Stephony informed me while looking at me, so I stood up.

"Let me have that Sir."

I said while trying to get his paper on his hand.

"No, you stay here for awhile and I'll be back."

He moved back. 

"But.." 

He had already left before I could complain. He's not the secretary, then he shouldn't do that. O should be the one to do that, or. maybe it needs a presence of the CEO. 

Mr. Stephony Falcon is without a doubt the best boss I  ever had. He rarely talks, he's serious all the time. 

Most of the time I was just waiting for him to comamnd or let me do something, but he never did. He will just give the document to check. 

Maybe his schedule is not yet complicated. 

When I saw the time, 

I headed outside. Since he hasn't arrived yet, I'll

try to learn about the other department. There

were three cubicles outside his office.  The 

majority of the folks here are familiar to me, 

while those on the bottom floor are unfamiliar.

I happened to run across Mrs. Gliaza. 

I'm closer to her than the other older women , and she smiled at me.

"Mr. Maleia, where are you going?"

She inquired with a wide smile on her face, which Irecognized.

"Lower floor, Ma'am."

I politely said. She's our senior here.

"Wow! What a perfect timing ! I am really hungry. Could I ask favor like usual?" 

She said while giving me money. It's been every day she ask for favor like this, she overheard that I don't have much papers on my desk. 

"Since you're not busy, could you buy me this? You know I'm not young anymore, so I hope this is not a bis favor to ask?" 

She's rubbing her stomach and giving me award smile. 

"Sure..." 

Her eyes sparkle as if she won something. 

"I-I mean what if my boss will be on lookout for me? 

I asked.. My eyes drawn to our office. He haven't eaten his lunch, yet. 

"He's busy and I also confused why you weren't. Anyway, I will informed him. So don't worry."

When she replied, I began going in the direction 

of the elevator. It's been two weeks and she's still asking for favors, which I don't mind because I'm 

just a worker. The issue was that I didn't have 

enough money to pay for the vehicle right now. 

I spent my money on a new lamp to assist me when I have paperwork to bring into our house.

I tried to touch my lap, hoping I could find penny in my pocket. I'm glad that I found a paper bill the back of my slax, 20 peso bill. I could pay a jeepney fare for this. 

I took a jeep and I have still 10 peso change fo the ride. Mrs. Glaiza really buy food away from the building. There were mall near from here.. 1 kilometer away from here a atleast that's the nearer than other. Sometimes it took me hours to find her foods and I'm glad that my boss isn't around that time. 

She listed 3 order of korean food. So I handed the money to the cashier. 

"Sir, you have to add four-handred fifty." 

I was takem aback. I don't have really money today. I didn't bring my car because my father was driving it and my wallet and my phone, I didn't bring it. 

My father will ways the one who'll pick me up every my work is done. It's not my payday, too and my phone? Damn, I also forgot to bring. I left it on my boss table. 

She saw my reaction and that moment she knows already. 

I didn't expect then Mrs. Galiza's money weren't enough. 

"Sir..." 

"Sorry.."

That's the only thing I could say and I don't know what else could I say. 

"Sir, we've already prepared and arranged 

everything. I'm afraid you won't be able to cancel 

your order."

She smiled sadly to me.

She's also a worker,too if she will let me. pass then her pay would be deducted for sure. 

"Can I talk to your manager? I'm really short right now and I don't know and expect the money isn't enough. My senior just order me to buy it and I didn't know that her money isn't enough of her order." 

"Okay.."

That's what she said after her manager went to me. 

"Is it okay if I just leave my business card here? I

promise I'll be back to pay you o-or maybe I'll be able to work something out so I can pay the

balance?"

The manager's eyes are suddenly brightening in 

response to what I've stated.

"Do you know how to drive?" 

The manager inquired. 

"Yes, Sir" 

I replied. 

"That's fantastic! Perhaps it's fate! We have a lot

 of orders, we happened that our driver took a 

break for a while. As a result, I'd like you to 

deliver it. I'll hand over the customer list to you!"

The issue was that I was unfamiliar with the 

location...

The manager approached the counter, and the 

workers simply smiled at me. I attempted to glance at my wristwatch. I have 20 minutes until 12 noon. 

Mrs. Gliaza can then have her lunch a little bit too late. 

" Do you really know how to drive? "

The manager inquired numerous times. 

"Yes, Sir. I will deliver the food safely Sir!" 

I started the engine. 

I have five customers from various locations. 

I had a difficult time finding the location, but I

was fortunate in that I was able to locate the four customers; I just have one customer left. 

I noticed a lady. 

I believe she is 9ur last cutomer.

She was standing in front of the huge mansion,

therefore I conclude she's the one I was looking for. Mrs. Glaiza came to my mind, maybe she's hungry now. I hope she won't get mad of me. 

"This is your order, Ma'am, five Korean food order! "

I said while giving here the five paper bag, but she couldn't bring them all through her small hand so I help her. 

"I had no idea Mr. Roco had hired a new attractive young driver. Then I suppose I should buy Korean food on a daily basis."

Her quips made her laugh.

She handed me a 100 peso bill after giving me theright amount of money for her order.

"What's this?" 

I said while giving her the money back.

"Take it. My mother really gave tips for all driver so no worry." 

I tried to give it back because I am not really the real driver but she's also pushy ans persistent enough.

 

I just smile at her. 

"Thank you Ma'am." 

That's all I could say, meanwhile her gazed and moved to my white long sleeve and saw a tainted sauce. I didn't noticed this, maybe this happened to come of the customer that I delivered. 

"Do you want to change?" 

She said but I declined I need to return, right away. Someone is waiting for me. I mean Mrs. Glaiza was waiting for her food..I think if I'll change it took another minutes plus I don't have a shirt then it would took me time to go back to my boss. 

I believe that changing would take another few minutes, and since I don't have a shirt, it would take me longer to return to my boss.

"No. Ma'am. Have fun with the food!"

I exited and returned to the Korean eatery. The manager complimented me on my performance today. I don't think he needs to do it because I'm the one that causes the trouble.

I still had a 100 peso bill, so I could return to the Falcon's Building. Rather than waiting for the jeep, I took a taxi to get to my destination faster. It took me less than a minute to wait, and the taxi driver came to a complete stop in front of me.

It was 1 hour and 25 minutes when I looked at the clock. Shit!

I didn't even ask for a change before fleeing. I came to a halt when my foot came into contact to the building of Mr. Stephony.. I'm already here!

I'm home! 

"Where did you go, Sir?"

The guard inquired, concerned, and I pointed my

lips to the paper bag.

"I think you should go to Mr. Stephony's office." 

The guard advised. 

"Ofcourse... Mrs. Glaiza also waiting for this food!" 

I said. While on my way to the elevator, everyone is now looking at me. 

Everyone is staring at me as I walk to the elevator possibly because I look like a beggar. My tainted and crumpled sweated  sleeve, as well as my 

messy and sticky hair.

I feel like I was in a horror movie when I saw them standing so quietly and I saw the back of my boss. 

I saw fear of my co-workers eyes. 

"You really push my buttons! Call that damn restaurant, again before I could fire all of you and report thay damn restaurant !" 

I was also taken aback to my boss. 

What's restaurant? 

He's mad to his employee.. did we have miss an important meeting or did they messed something? 

"S-sir.." 

"S-sir.."

Mrs. Glaiza was pointing at me, and her hands wereshaking as she did so. I walked as quickly as 

I could. Maybe she's now starving, bad. 

"Mrs. Glaiza... I apologize for being late-"

I didn't finish when I saw how Mr. Stephony Falcon giving dead stares to me. He was really like damn Hades, the famous greek goddes. 

"Why are you apologizing to her? Where habe you been?! She's not your boss then why the damn, are you saying to sorry to everyone?! Why are you receiving commands from them if you're not their secretary?! You are only. my secretary!" 

He shouted like a savage beast from the tip of his tongue. And we were all flinching in his presence. 

I've never seen him so enraged before. For as long as he can remember, he's been kind, atleast, and calm as long as he can. I always notice when 

he's upset, hell just moves his fist to his hand and

that's it, but today was different, and he was today was different and madly. 

The workers are now trembling to the mad boss, in front of us. However, I couldn say that he's quite sexy, when he gets mad. 

I locked my gaze on him, and he shifted a little, his adam apples moving as he looked at me. When my sister is sad, upset, or agitated, she claims that gaze into my eyes calms her heart, but I'm not sure if that's genuine or if she's just trying to get money from me.

And right now... it's effective.

"Let's go.. put that damn paper bag down."
