"So tell me? Why should we hire you in our company and as my secretary?" He ask. Now all the confidence I have vanished. I need this work. Kahit pansamantala lang maka bayad lang kami ng utang. I sighed. "You know Sir, I really don't have an experience on working as secretary–but I'll do my best! I'm really in need right now and... I need to work to pay for my debts. Please give me this job and I will do everything to deserve the position."

Tila mamatay ako sa kaba ng matagal bago ito mag salita. He drank the remaining beer on his glass and walk towards me. "You can start right today." With that my heart skipped. Start? So I am hired?! "I-I am hired?"

He just look at me. He gestured the papers on the other desk in front of the rattan chair. "All you have to do is read and fix this papers. Ice the girl earlier will also guide you after this, now work." I was so overwhelmed that I almost jumped in happiness! Finally! I have a work! "Thank you Sir! Promise gagawin ko ang lahat para sa trabahong ito!"

For now, I'll set aside my dream and work for my family first. Pero pagkatapos nito ay babalik uli ako sa field at gagawin lahat ng pangarap ko, no matter how hard it is and painful it is.

Hindi na ako nag aksaya ng oras at ginawa na ang trabahong pinapagawa ng boss ko. I noticed his work is toxic. Kada baba n'ya ng cellphone ay muli na namang may tatawag. Pirma doon, pirma dito. How hardworking.

"What? What do you mean?...." Sir Eros stood up and paced back and forth. Nahihilo na nga ako rito pero pinag patuloy na lang ang trabaho. "No! Bakit i-cacancel? Check? What? They got to be kidding. No, I'll call Mr. Travis and don't fucking go somewhere!" His voice thundered as he angrily tap his phone for another call.

"There is no fucking good in my noon. What is this Mr. Travis? Oh yeah? We're not friends you fucker! Oh fuck you! Yes you fucking should! Your employees are fucking–you're not my father to ask me lie down my curses! Go and order your employees!" I flinched when after saying those words Sir Eros throw away his phone. And seems like he knew he wasn't alone.

Our eyes locked and I immediately look away. Tumingin ito sa mamahaling Rolex wrist watch at bago binalik sa akin. "You can have your lunch now. And, go to the HR department and look for Ice. She knows what to do." I nodded in shock. I stood up and fix the scattered papers on the table. "Uh kayo po?" He raised his eyebrows confused. "What about me?" Ibalik ba naman ang tanong ko? I cleared my throat. "Uhm I mean may gusto po kayong kainin?" He looked away and turn his back on me.

"I don't eat when I'm in my hectic and toxic situation." Hayst ang hirap naman maging bilyonaryo. "Naku Sir! Masama po yan sa kalusugan! Aanhin n'yo naman ang yaman kung mamatay lang rin kayo sa gutom?"

"Sanay na ako, at bat ka ba nakiki alam?"

"Ah hindi naman po sa nakiki alam, pero po. Masama talaga yan, ah! Alam ko na! I saw a karenderya near here. Their foods are not that expensive but worth it! I'll buy for you!" He sighed heavily and look at me again. Naglakad ito palapit at nilagpasan ako para tignan ang mga papel sa table.

"I don't have much time. Just go and eat your food alone." He picked up bunch of papers on my desk and went back to his desk at saka gumawa muli ng tawag. Bumuntong hininga na lang ako at lumabas. "Hayst kung ganito naman ang buhay ng bilyonaryo ay naku jusko po wag na maging billionaire." Naiiling na pinindot ko ang button ng elevator pababa sa lobby at sumandal.

I opened my phone and went to camera and took a picture. I will send this later to Lara.

Tumunog ang elevator hudyat na nasa destinasyon na ako. Pag ka labas ay sinalubong ako ng mga busy/ workaholic na tao. Namiss ko to! Ang mag trabaho at mag suot ng mga damit pan trabaho.

Hindi na ako nag sayang ng oras at dumeretso sa karenderya malapit. I ate food and ordered extra for Sir Eros. Eros Damian Ramazzotti ang cool ng pangalan. His magnificent green eyes and unbelievable beauty attracted me. But that was just attraction! I'm not inlove! He has this perfect shaped jaw and a  dark hooded eyes that gives me chills. His perfect reddish thin lips and dark thick shaped brows and lashes makes him more attractive.

Clean cut hair and perfect body shape. "Miss 78 lang lahat." Napukaw ng ale sa harapan ang naglalayag kong kaisipan. Hindi wari bakit biglang napasok ang boss sa utak at kung ano anong pa puri  pa ang binigay. "Ah eto, salamat." Their packaging is good. Ang order na takeout ay naka lagay sa isang disposable food ware at may plastic na kutsara't tinidor din. Pagkatapos na pagkatapos mag bayad ay naglakad na ako pabalik sa building at deretsong nag tungo sa opisina ni Sir Eros.

"Hello po!" Halos ma paigtad sa gulat ang huli at naiinis na bumaling sa akin. "Do you plan to kill me? Miss?" He rolled his eyes and I found it cute. "Hindi naman po Sir, sorry." Yumuko ako sa kahihiyan at na alala ang pagkain na binili para rito. "Oh, I brought you food! Sana kumakain ka nito..." He stared at me for a moment and back on the papers he I signing.

Bumuntong hininga ito bago muling magsalita. "Ilagay mo na lang d'yan. Then go to the HR department." Tulad ng sabi n'ya ay nilagay ko na lang sa may center table ang plastic na may container at sumakay muli sa elevator. Sinabi nito kung anong floor ang HR department at doon na rin ako dumeretso.

I looked for the girl named Ice and I found her on a small cubicle. "Uy hi, dito ka we'll do some briefing!" Sumunod ako sa mga yapak nito hanggang marating ang isang bakanteng lugar. "But naman finally naka hanap na yon ng secretary! Ah, ako nga pala si Ice I'm 30 year old and I know I doesn't look like one. But I am 30." I was about to say that–well to used of it.

"Our boss has rules and regulations. Here are the list, araw araw hectic ang schedule ng isang yan kaya sigurado namang nakita mo na yon diba? You need to get use of it from now on." I nodded and she continued. "And he doesn't like the food sa cafeteria. Maarte ang isang yon, he doesn't eat fast food din. So if you want him to eat, better cook. But you wouldn't do that so, anyways aside from helping him read and assist, book, and arrange his meetings and schedule you will also answer calls for him. Pero sa tingin ko wala ka naman masyadong magagawa at ang gusto non s'ya lagi ang gumawa ng kailangan gawin. If you need something just call me okay?" Marami pang bilin at sinabi si ate Ice–(well she's old so?) bago ako pa uwiin.

Hmm I see, the boss here is cold as ice. Beer ang umagahan? Hmm let's try to change that, baka mamatay pa ng maaga at ma iwan lang lahat ng pinag hirapan n'ya.
