"Why do you want me to hire you, Miss Reyes?" woman asked her using a authority in her voice.
"I want to help myself, Madame." she show her genuine smile and sit properly.
"You're not perfectly suit as a secretary of Mr. Salvador, Miss. Because you look like a prostitute." the woman grin at her.
"Excuse me, it's seems like are conversation is going to another conversation? I am not like whatever you are thinking, all I want is to have a decent job to help myself. If you don't want me to be a secretary of Mr. Salvador then I'll go now. " she stood up and bow her head before she went at the door, as soon as she opened the door the woman suddenly spoke again.
"Great! Stop! I like you, Miss Reyes."
"What do you mean?" she asked the woman with a confused expression written in her face.
"You're hired. You'll start working to Mr. Salvador tomorrow but for now, we need to go him to introduced you as his new secretary. No one wants to takes the job as Sando's secretary because he is ruthless when it come to works. So please, do your job well."
***
AGASHER DAME REYES' POINT OF VIEW.
We are now walking towards Mr. Salvador's office when my chest suddenly throbbed loudly. Shit, I'm nervous because my boss might be rude.
We were approaching a door when we heard shouting and crying inside.
Oh! What is happening?
"Get out! You're fired now!" I heard a baritone voice spoke and it was very cold.
"Sir, I need this job so badly so please—" even before the woman finished her sentence, I heard the baritone voice spoke again.
"I said get out! I don't need you here in my company!"
Madame would have knocked. Suddenly it opened voluntarily and a crying woman greeted us.
Geez, my boss is rude and a perfectionist for sure.
"Good morning, Boss." Madame greeted him, he looked up and faced me.
His gaze melted.
"You have a new secretary here." smiling Madame said.
"I don't need a secretary now, Jean," he said directly when he saw me.
"Nah-ah, no more buts. She's here."
He groaned and messed up his hair.
"Ugh, fine. Damn it!"
"So Miss Reyes. Introduce yourself. Good luck bye ~!" madame said goodbye to me and winked at me before leaving the room.
"Ehem, good morning, Sir. I'm Agasher Dame Reyes, I was kind and experienced as a secretary when I was in High school-" I stopped speaking when he answered again.
Men are inclined to respond. I'm not done yet!
"Did I ask you that? Jean said you're just going to introduce yourself, not your whole biography." I frowned when he said that. Eww, gay.
"It's nice to kick a handsome man today," I whispered to myself.
"What did you say?" I turned to him as he spoke.
"Huh?" dead-malicious I asked him.
"Repeat what you said earlier." I swallowed a little.
"Nothing, sir," I answered him immediately.
"Argh! Get out!" I stood up properly when he shouted.
"I said get out!" that's when I realized it shouted again.
Ouch! That was loud!
I quickly turned around and headed for the door to get out.
"Achoo ~! Yucks, Sir stinks." I joked to myself when I sneezed.
"What did you say?" someone's words behind me.
There's a ghost? Oh my!
"It's a terrible ghost, you scare me to beat you up."
"I'm not a ghost," I shouted when it spoke again.
Sir Sandro?!
"Excuse me, sir?" I still doubt whether I will face it or not.
"You'll start working here tomorrow. Earlier than the chicken coop. Are we clear?" he said coldly before closing the door.
Pfft. That's how Sir shakes, does his tongue seem to bend?
"But he's shameless! I have the strength to belittle him!" I said out loud while covering my mouth.
"Prepare yourself tomorrow, Miss Reyes. I'll kill you!"
NEXT DAY..
I'm nervous now. Sungit threatened me yesterday that he would kill me.
But I did meet Madame Jean and her full name was Jeanry Sanchez. Sanchez is a bit familiar to me but maybe he is not like the one I know, right? There are many Sanchez in the world so maybe he is not that.
And he even has older brothers, they are handsome!
Their names are Keosjin and Hyunjhin, maybe they have a korean descent because their names are weird.
But how is this? Am I still hired? By the way, he just let me out and he said before the chicken crows I should go in— Omo! It's already nine!
"Oh my!" I quickly arranged my clothes and belongings and parked a jeep with only a few passengers on board.
Thank God!
I took payment and handed it to a male passenger as well.
"SB." the other passengers turned to me.
Did I say something wrong?
"Starbucks?" the driver asked.
"Isn't it with bone marrow maybe? Probably in the Salvador Building." I respectfully philosophize with him. I'm late, they will annoy me even more.
"It's your luck, Girl." suddenly a gay pat in front of me.
Are we close?
"Bad luck," I answered frowning.
"Haluh, girl. The CEO of the Salvador Company is so handsome. I envy you because you see him every day. So why is it unlucky?" its a question. I approached him slightly and whispered. "Every day our boss has menopause."
"Manong wait!" I shouted at manong so the jeep immediately stopped in front of the building itself.
I went down and immediately went inside but before I could enter of course Manong guard and I greeted each other.
"Good morning, manong guard." I greeted him with a smile.
"Has Sir arrived yet, Manong?" I immediately asked him. It shook and smiled.
"I think he's coming— He's there oh." I automatically stood up straight as I picked up Manong's booklet and quickly covered my face and bowed.
"Good morning, Sir." I heard Manong greet him.
I could see how two pairs of glowing shoes approached in front of me. I close my eyes firmly.
"I smell something— Mm," I secretly sniffed my clothes. I don't stink. This man is very judgmental.
"Look at me, woman." at four o'clock I quickly looked up and met his gaze.
"Why are you covering your nose and mouth?" he asked me in astonishment.
"Smell something bad too, Sir." as I said before.
"A'right," this account receded and started walking in again but he only took a few steps so he faced me again so I hurriedly bowed again.
"Miss Reyes. Are you prepared?"
There it is! I'm not ready, Sungit. So don't ask me! Grr!
When he entered, I immediately gave Manong his booklet and walked in as well.
I was just walking towards my office when Madame Jean suddenly met me.
"Give him coffee. He doesn't want to be brave, that's right." immediate command? Rest first!
"Copy, Madame Jean." I bowed to him first. I was about to walk when it stopped me again. What
again? Again and again?
"Just Jean. Madame is too formal, gotta go!"
When Jean left, I immediately moved and went to the coffee area to make Sungit coffee,
While working I became even more nervous.
"If I could give him that poisoned coffee?" I shuddered to open a coffee container and fill the cup.
"Then do it."
Does this man have a mushroom race? Because it appears everywhere but I hope he did not hear what I said.
'Are you crazy Dame? He probably heard what you said. '
I close my eyes tightly before facing Sir. "Good morning, Sir. Sit down first if you want to wait for your coffee." forced smile, I said nervously while pointing to the seats on our side.
I backed away when I saw something I did not want to see.
Is it a gun? A gun!
"S-sir? Are you going to kill me?" I asked him angrily.
He grinned before he answered me. "Maybe yes, maybe no."
"S-sir, I don't want to die as a virgin ha. Give me a child first before you kill me. Wah!" I mentally cursed when I realized what I've said.
Die a virgin? No way!
"What did you say?" its an angry question to me. He didn't like what I said? Psh.
Damn it, Agasher. This man in front of you will kill you but nonsense is still in your brain!
"S-sir, calm down your nerves first. I'm still alive." I begged him with matching cries.
"Ah fuck, I should have killed this woman but why do I feel this way, damn it!" it even whispered that I could not hear. Sh-t, is Sir cursing me already? I hope not.
"Sir, put your gun down so you can touch the trigger," I ordered him and lowered the gun aimed at me.
He sighs, yes I won! Nyenye, will he did not kill me again?
"Just bring coffee to my office. Exact blend, I don't like bitter nor too sweet." he pocketed his gun and walked out.
Yes! Yes! I'm alive!
"Ye-" I was about to shout when it suddenly came back.
"I need that coffee in 5 minutes. When it's not in my office yet ..." he grinned before continuing what he was going to say. "You know what I'm going to do to you," then he winked.
His handsome grin. Erase! Erase!
Most, gross!
"Wait, wait 5 minutes? Eh shit! The elevator is far from here. Did Sir trip me ?! Argh!" I messed up my hair first and went back to what I was doing. It is especially difficult for our boss to be impatient.
"Miss Dame?" I faced the speaker.
"Do you need anything?" I politely asked a man.
Why does he know my name? Second name.
"Ah hi, I am Bullet Rouger Armstrong. The team leader of a team here and manager of a floor, and at the same time friends of Sandro and Jean."
"Nice to meet you, Sir Bullet. I'm A-" I stopped when he added what I was going to say.
"Agasher Dame Reyes." he smiled. Oh my! Dimples! Sir has dimples!
"And drop that Sir. Just bullets." I smiled because of what he said. He's so adorable especially when he speaks Tagalog!
"Uhh, Sir uh, i mean Bullet, what do you want?" I asked him.
Do I know what he needs and wants?
"Sandro's coffee."
I looked at my wristwatch when he said that.
I only have two minutes left! I haven't done it yet!
"Oh, I can't mix it anymore. There's a coffee machine here, right?" he nodded before smiling again.
"Don't be in a hurry. It's okay not to give up right away. I'm with you."
Ahh guys, am I going to faint with excitement?
