ML Story (iM eLove)

45

"Brianna can you please photo copy this? Kailangan na kasi yan mamaya" I looked up from my computer to see Grace, one of my colleagues, infront of me. She's holding a thick green folder that's already offered in my face. And another folder on her side. Grace was, maybe, four to five years older than me.

Inabot ko ito sa kanya. Napabuntong hininga ako nang umalis siya sa harap ko. Binalingan ko ang ginagawa kong report bago isinave at tumayo dala ang folder na iniwan ni Grace sa akin.

"Brianna may ginagawa ka ba?" Napalingon ako sa tumawag sa akin. This time Ms. Alice Andrade, walks towards my direction. She's holding a folder too.

I almost rolled my eyes. I guess I know what comes next!

"Can I ask a little favor for you dear?" she smiled sweetly. And as expected! Tsk.

I know I have to respect and associate, somehow, with them, but they're were kind of abusing their seniority towards me. Kung dati ay tanggap ako ng tanggap ng trabaho nila kahit pinapagalitan na ako minsan ni Mr. Tuazon sa mga deadlines ko but now I am learning to refuse them, somehow. It has negative effects the way they treat me, though. Pero buti nalang pinanghahawakan parin nila yung pagiging 'professionalism' nila, they can't throw a fit against me easily or they'll lose their 'unbending principles' and 'high profile'.

Itinaas ko ang makapal na folder para ipakita sa kanya. "I have to photocopy this one first Ms. Andrade"

Nawala ang matamis na ngiti nito at napalitan ng simangot, bahagyang tumaas ang isang kilay nito. "Is that so, how about after that Ms. Perez. It needs to be done as soon as possible."

"Sorry Miss. But I have loads to be done too after this. Kailangan rin kasi yun ni Mr. Tuazon bago mag out" I explained in a modest way as possible.

"Fine, si Mitch na nga lang." mataray nitong saad bago tumalikod.

"Hindi mapakiusapan, tsk" narinig kong bulong niya palayo. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako bago tumungo sa photocopier.

I'll just expect a cold glares and blabs behind my back from her group in a while later huh. Hays, what can I do though? Ako ang malilintikan kay Mr. Tuazon pag hindi ko natapos yung pinagagawa niya.

"Attention everyone!" I heard my Mr. Tuazon clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.

Nilingon ko ito para makinig sa kung anong magiging anouncement niya. Nakatayo siya sa entrance ng accounting department.

"I would like to introduce to you Mr. Bryan Zachary Javier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Javier and also the new COO of NZAJ." Nanlaki ang mata ko at halos mabitawan ko ang hawak ko mga papel ng tumabi si Bryan kay Sir. Tuazon.

He was standing so proud and tall that screams masculinity and power. Wearing his grey business suit that perfectly hugged his firm torso. His hair perfectly combed a little pushed back and a friendly smile plastered in his face. He was like a greek god that comes out from the book of mythology. He was like a dream man in every girl's imagination!

"Good morning everyone, thank you for your hard work. You will always be a part of the company's success. Let's work hand in hand for the betterment of NZAJ." He calmly stated. He looked around like his looking at his conquest.

I could almost hear the gasps and giggles of admiration to the man infront of them.

"Good morning Sir" they bubbly said, almost giggling. I heard silent whispered after that.
