Kesha's POV
24 hours earlier
I woke up early since I need to go to work. After fixing myself, I went straight to the car since my driver is waiting for me. While we're in the middle of traffic, nag ring ang phone ko.
"hey there sistah!" bati ni Emilie she's my friend since college. We've known each other for like 9 years. I'm 26 and she's 25.
"morning, what do you want?" walang gana kong tanong. Napairap nman ito, video call kasi
"Are you okay Em?" tanong ko sa kanya, bigla kasing tumahimik
"yes, of course just checking if you're still coming tonight" she said
"yes and I'm on my way to work. I'll call you later" Sabi ko, it's her birthday party. I greeted her 12 midnight Kaya wag kayong judgemental na hnd ako nag happy birthday.
"okay bye!" sabay baba nng phone
Pagkadating nng office, sabay nman bati nng mga empleyado sakin.
"Goodmorning, Miss Dela Vega" deredrecho lang ako hanggang sa private elevator ko. I'm the youngest CBOs in the country and hoping to be the CEO by the time I'm 30.
"Good morning, Ms Dela Vega" bati ni Ron
"Is Kenny in yet?" tanong ko sa kanya
"I'm... I'm not sure"
"we'll if you see him, please have him meet me in the office"
"yes miss Dela Vega. Right away miss" sabay bilis niyang lakad paalis
Pagpasok ko sa office ay nagulat ako. Kasi nman ang magaling kong secretary slash kaibigan is nkaupo sa swivel chair ko.
"Good morning Sunshine"
"You're in my chair Kenny" sabay taas nng kilay sa kanya, and aga2x nng bibwisit eh.
"And you're 3 minutes late, so let's call it a draw" sabay irap. Npaisip tuloy ako. Why am I friends with this gay again?
"whatever, you could've at least get me a coffee" Sabi ko sa kanya at umupo. He just looked at me confused
"Excuse you. I am an Executive assistant, not some lowly intern" sabay flip nng imaginary hair niya. Napasapo na lang ako nng noo.
"I'm maybe under you, but not far under you" pa habol niya pa.
"point taken, now go and find me one and it's too early for me to be stressed Kenny" napahilot na lang ako nng ulo, I really need my coffee
"when was the last time you had s*x?" nagulat ako sa kanya. Like seriously, I'll fire this a**hole.
"is this the reason why you stayed here and wait for me, just so you can scold me for my lateness or annoy me?" taas kilay kng tanong sa kanya
"a little bit of both and to see your face when I say that there's changes in your schedule" sabay wink
Oh he got what he wanted. He smiled widely when he saw my annoyed face. I haven't even had a coffee for the love of God.
"happy ka?" Sabi ko sa kanya
"yup!!" tili niya. May friends ba kayong ganito? Hindi kompleto ang araw nila pag hndi kayo naasar or nasira araw mo.
"hey, intern get in here and bring the coffee" Sabi ni Kenny through intercom
Mabilis nman kumatok at pumasok ang intern at dali daling inabot ang coffee sakin
"here's your miss, I mean ma'am, I mean sorry" he's struggling and he's really intimidated. Ganon ba ko nkakatakot? Well I can't blame him or them. My day is not complete without my coffee. Mabilis uminit ang ulo ko especially may kaibigan kng mahilig sumira nng araw mo.
F*ck mura ko sa isipan after I sipped on my coffee.
"what the hell is this?!" tanong ko sa intern
"your... Coffee..miss?" sagot niya
"I take my coffee black, this is a flat white!" He looked so scared and looked at Kenny. Least I wanted right now is an incompetent intern.
"Kenny, please translate" I looked at him as he walks towards the intern
"okay, Pink shirt you can go home. Go to the HR and settle everything there. Bye, bye now!" sabay wave niya. I rolled my eyes at him. Sira na talaga ang araw ko.
"You did that on purpose" I said to Kenny alam niya what I wanted with my coffee
"Well, he deserves it, he's a homophobic a**hole" he said
"okay. What has changed in my schedule?"
"alright! Ready?" he's smiling widely. Kung ng nkakamatay lang talaga ang tingin matagal na pinaglamayan to.
"Okay2x. My God, you're so boring" sabay irap
"So, originally you have a meeting with Mr. Tan at 10, but it was pushed to 11. Your 11 is pushed to 12:30" and so on and so fourth
"so I'm only free at 1pm?"tanong ko sa kanya
" nope.,you'll have a meeting with you father" Sabi niya with a smile on his face
"What?! Kelan pa siya dumating?" takang tanong ko sa kanya. My own father didn't even informed me.
"ba't ako tinatanong mo? Tatay ko ba siya?"sarcastic na sagot niya. I swear to all the God's and Goddesses I'm going to fire this man/gay
" can this day, get any worse? I really don't know why he's here" kakasimula plang nng araw, why do I feel like na prang nag buhat ako nng isang sakong bigas paakyat dito. Pagod ang katawan at utak ko, gusto ko na lang talaga maging hotdog sa freezer.
"Liv, stop overthinking and remember we still have a party to attend. You need to chill and relax" Sabi niya sabay tapped nng shoulder ko. My close friends and family are the only one who can call me on my 2nd name
"I don't know if..." hndi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko nng magsalita ang baklang nsa tabi ko.
"oh, don't you dare continue that. It's Em'z birthday and you need that pra naman hnd puro work ang nasa isip mo. I can see how stressed you are right now" as he walks to the door.
"by the way, beshie boo you really need to get laid" sabay takbo palabas. Tatapunan ko na sana nng ballpen. Sabi ko na nga ba may pahabol pa eh.
I pressed the intercom "Kenny get me a proper coffee and please hire a new intern"
Time passes as I worked and finished signing all the necessary documents, and Meetings. My father had to cancel our meeting since my mas importante pa daw siyang aasikasuhin. That's a favor for me medyo nabawasan ang stress ko today. I badly need to sleep when I'm about to close my eyes, Bigla nman pumasok ang bakla.
"OK. I called you car"
"what?! Why?" gulat kong tanong
"anong what why ka diyan it's already past 6. We're going to Emilie's birthday remember?" taas kilay niyang sagot, nka cross pa ang kamay sa dibdib. Minsan talaga hnd ko alam kng ako ba ang boss or siya.
"just great" I heavy sighed
"Get dressed, the car is waiting" sabay abot ang paper bag.
I have my private room here inside my office, kaya it's not a hassle for me pag may
Mga ganitong event. As I finished taking a bath and put a little make up. I know I'm ready. I'm wearing above the knee dress.
"The car is... Oh my! you look amazing beshie boo. I'm so proud of myself" yup you all heard it right. Mas kinomplement niya ang sarili niya. Siya kasi pumili nng dress. I just rolled my eyes at him. After almost an hour na byahe. Nkarating na rin kami. Nag retouch ako nng kunti at bumaba nng kotse.
"Let's go and get this over with" it's not that I'm not happy, since it's my best friend's birthday, I'm just not into party tapos na ko dyan. But what could go wrong right?
I'll just stay for a drink.
