Soulful Eyes (book 2, Missing Piece adaptation)

Chapter 13

CAITLIN

At Alpha International

"Kaya ko 'to. Inhale.....exhale"

Hindi nagtagal ay tinawag na ako ni ma'am Isa na pumasok sa office ni boss Bea. Ang humble niya, ba't 'di nalang niya sinabing isa siya sa mga boss dito nung first time naming magkita

Well, nag aapply akong secretary, hindi ko naman alam na urgent hiring pala sila ng secretary tapos janitress lang ang ibibigay niyang trabaho sa'kin huhu

Upon entering the office ay binabasa niya ang resume ko at umupo nalang ako sa chair sa harap niya

"Good morning, boss"

Sinabihan ako ni ma'am Isa na boss daw dapat ang tawag namin kay ma'am Bea

"Administrative Secretary huh" boss Bea at tinignan niya ako eye to eye sabay hawak sa chin niya

"Yes boss"

"Tell me about yourself" boss Bea

".......and that's all about me, boss"

Then may mga tinanong pa siya sa'kin. Napaka professional niya makipag-usap grabe, nakakapogi sa kanya

"Last question. Why secretary? Not janitress?" boss Bea raises her brows

"I am applying as an administrative secretary because I have clear skills that will help me achieve my goal of becoming a better server based on my past work experience. And I know that I can do more from doing cleaning, boss"

"Okay. You may leave my office and wait for the results until tomorrow" boss Bea

"Boss, kung hindi ako matatanggap sige po, ok na ako sa janitress. Sorry kung nag hangad pa ako ng mas mataas na position, dahil alam ko naman po kasing kaya ko ang position na inaapply'n ko"

"Did I tell you to add more information, Ms. Viray?" boss Bea

"No boss, I apologize. Even so, I thank you for your time" tumayo na ako at lumabas nang naka yuko

ISA

Paglabas ni Caitlin ay pumasok na agad ako sa office ni boss Bea

"So, boss?"

"She's accepted. You can go home to your family now, Isa" nakangiting sabi ni boss Bea

"Yesss! Thank you, boss Beaaaa"

JHOANA

Kumakain kami ng dinner ngayon habang naka video call ako with Bea

*Jho and Bea's video call*

"Hello love, kumusta? Oh you're eating? Where's the kids?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Bea

"Wait"

Linayo ko konti yung phone para makuha sa screen si Bella at Nolan

"Hi dada!" Nolan

"Hello, awwww gusto ko nang umuwi, love" Bea

"Dada, aren't you coming home yet?" Nolan

"Not yet, anak. Momma mo kase ayaw pa akong pauuwiin eh" Bea

"Ha?" Nolan

"Beatriz, ayoko maging translator para alam mo"

"Haha. Oh by the way, love, may new secretary na ako" Bea
