Chapter 36.

-- Niraiah? Napatawag ka? Kumain ka na ba?

Napangiti si Niraiah sa mga naging bungad sa kaniya ni Reious saka tumango tango saglit.

"Yes, I did. Actually, kababalik ko lang sa kwarto ko galing sa dining hall. Kasabay ko kumain si Ma'am Mariel."

-- Really? That's nice to hear.

"Mmm," tumango tango si Niraiah saka umupo sa kama niya bago nagsalita. "Actually, Reious. There is a reason why I called you," pag-imporma ni Niraiah sa kaniya habang nakatingin sa sahig ng kwarto niya. 

-- What is it?

"Remember that guy who approached me yesterday? That guy? He happened to be our company's new CMO, sir Rey Sorano." Kinakabahang sabi ni Niraiah dito sabay pisil sa hita niya ultimong kumukuha ng lakas loob mula rito.

-- He is? Okay.

"Okay?" Gulat na tanong ni Niraiah, "Aren't you shocked and nervous? He might have been offended with us yesterday, he might do something with us!"

-- He won't be able to do anything to me, however, he could try and take advantage of you.

Natahimik naman si Niraiah.

-- Wait a moment, I'll go there. What is your room number?

"... Room 63, it's on the fifth floor." 

-- Got it, take care of yourself. See you later.

Tumango tango naman si Niraiah saka pinatay ang tawag. Nakatulala siyang tumingin sa bukas na bintana ng kwarto niya saka napaisip.

'Take advantage of me?'

Niraiah can't think of any way, Rey, their company's CMO, a position that is a world higher than hers, might take advantage of her.

I mean, aside from the fact that she has good skill and ability in her field of work, she had no notable achievements under her name that can be a reason for someone to take advantage of her. Even if she was good at her job, the fact that her position was low, noone would ever think of using her. 

'What can a lowly inventory clerk even do?'

Kaya nagtataka siya bakit ganoong choice of words ang ginamit ni Reious.

Tumayo si Niraiah sa kinauupuan niya saka kumuha ng damit bago naligo at nagbihis saka humiga pagkatapos patuyuin ang buhok niya. She saw a message notification from her phone at the same time, someone knocked on her door. Hindi niya pinansin ang pagtunog ng cellphone niya saka mabilis na tumayo upang buksan ang pintuan ng kwarto niya.

"Good afternoon." Bungad na bati sa kaniya ni Reious sabay yakap at halik sa noo niya pagkabukas niya ng pinto, napangiti naman si Niraiah.

"You came quickly, pasok ka." Anyaya niya rito saka nilakihan ang pagbukas sa pintuan ng kwarto niya. She looks around the hallway where her room is before closing the door. "By the way, kumain ka na?" Tanong niya nang maalala na hindi niya ito naitanong sa kaniya kanina noong tumawag siya rito.

"Kakain pa lang," sabi ni Reious saka hinatak si Niraiah paupo sa hita niya. "Kakainin pa lang kita."

Malakas namang hinampas ni Niraiah si Reious sa balikat niya sa biro nito saka tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa hita niya. "Tigil, saglit, I think meron akong natirang biscuits na baon papunta rito." Sabi niya saka may kinuhang crackers at binigay kay Reious. "May nakasalubong ka ba papunta rito, Reious?" Tanong ni Niraiah sabay upo sa tabi niya, nakaupo sila sa gilid kama niya.
