Dali dali ko siyang sinundan papasok ng elevator. Muntik ko na siyang hindi abutan pero buti nakapasok pa ako.

Pero mukhang maling desisyon atang sumabay ako sakaniya sa elevator, ang tahimik kasi, hindi ako mapakali.

He is just looking forward while I am lowering my head and playing with my fingers.

I wanted to ask him what's the problem I was about to open my mouth when the elevator door opened.

He quickly went outside the elevator and I followed behind him. He went inside him office and I did to.

He was in his chair while I was standing in front of him waiting for an order.

I heard him sighed.

"I want you to encode this all, I need you to finish this before 4PM." He then showed me a tower of papers.

Tangina! Hanggang 4PM lang? Today? 1PM na! Impossibleng matapos ko ito ng isang araw lang!

"Sir I can't finish this is one day. Please give me an extension." I pleaded.

He looked at me boringly.
"Finish this today Ms. Dela Cruz, I mean it."

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin! I know hindi ko pa nasisimulan pero sigurado akong hindi ko to matatapos ng tatlong oras lang! Napakarami neto!

" Why don't you start now Ms. Dela Cruz?  Time is running." He said mockingly.

Padabong akong naglakad palapit sa kaniyang table at kinuha ang mga papel. Medyo nahirapan pa akong kunin ito dahil marami at mabigat pero nakaya ko namang dalhin sa aking table.

I quickly opened my laptop and started encoding. Umabot na ako ng dalawang oras at hindi ko pa nakakalahati ang mga papel! 

Pagod na din ako kakaupo kaya tumayo ako ng saglit at inikot ikot ang aking leeg. Nakita ko si Sir Darius na seryoso sa kaniyang binabasa at hindi man lang naawa sa aking kalagayan. Walang puso!

I continued finishing the file. At exactly 3:30 he stood up and left the office. I just continued my work and wala na akong pake kung masisante ako dahil hindi ko to natapos. Impossible kasi talagang matapos ko to.

At around quarter to 4 when someone knocked in the door, a woman went inside. I think she's an employee because of the ID she's wearing.

"Ma'am, Mr. Colin is asking me to call you and tell you that he is waiting in the lobby na daw po. " The woman informed me.

Anong waiting? Hindi pa ako tapos dito!  Tsaka diba sabi niya hanggang 4PM? 

"Please tell him na hindi pa ako tapos sa pinapagawa niya, until 4PM lang kasi ito, tatapusin ko muna" I told her.

She nodded her head and went outside. I continued doing what I was doing but after a few minutes my phone ringed. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?" I answered

"Where the hell are you?  I told you to come down now!" I know this voice.

"Sir I am still not done with the encoding." I told him coldly.

"I don't care. Just come here now! " He ordered.

I rolled my eyes and ended the call without the proper closing. Bastos na kung bastos pero nakakainis kasi talaga siya! Ang gulo gulo ng utak niya!

I compiled all the papers and put them in one side. I then grabbed my purse and headed downside.

I saw his car outside the building. Pinagbuksan ako ni Manong Nestor ng pintuan at pumasok ako sa loob. There I saw him looking at me annoyingly. I just rolled my eyes at him and sat down.
