Clyde's PoV

Naglalakad ako papunta ng office ko nang makatangap ako ng isang tawag. Napahilot ako sa sentido ko, I still have a hangover because of the last night drinking session with that damn Willam.

"Hello?" groggy na sagot ko.

"As expected, you really don't know how to handle your liquors"

A smile formed on my lips as I check my wrist watch, its exact 8:00 AM. "Ang bilis mo namang namiss ako Lovely Ana"

"Yeah, let's believe on that Clyde" she remarked full of sarcasm.

May mga dumaang mga empleyada at nagsibati sa akin habang namumula sa kilig.

"Good Morning Sir" they greeted as I nodded.

"I just wanted on check you, baka kasi mamaya wala na akong balikan na trabaho. And also to remind you na bukas pa ang dating ni Briana" she informed.

"Briana? Who's Briana?" kunot noong tanong ko. First time ko atang marinig ang pangalang iyon.

"Ugh... your new Secretary?"

"Substitute, just a substitute secretary" pagbibigay linaw ko.

"Bahala ka, basta naibigay ko na ang schedules mo, pati appointments mo sa mga stockholders for the whole month. Naorrient ko na rin si Briana kung ano ang mga dapat niyang gawin so be nice to her. Siya ang hinugot ko mula sa HR dahil siya ang may pinaka busilak ang kalooban. I do worry for your virginity after all"

"Thank you so much" hindi ko alam kung maooffend o maaappreciate ko ang sinabi ng babaeng ito.

"And please Clyde, take care" bilin niya with a serious and yet caring tone.

"God Ana. You talk like my Mom" natatawang amin ko and rolled my eyes.

"Wag kang paranoid ok? Just enjoy your once in a blue moon vacation woman!"

She groaned "I'm trying"

"Then try harder. Enjoy Nueva Viscaya"

"Ok, ok, Good luck Clyde"

"Yup. I'll see you next month" and I ended the call.

I entered my office just to see the last person I would like to talk with. Agad napalitang ng inis ang good mood ko.

Prenteng nakaupo siya sa couch while browsing a magazine.

She's wearing her blue dress that exposes her cleavage and everything. Makapal ang make up at halatang halata ang pagiging sosyal niya.

"Hi babe" bati niya sa akin at ngumiti ng ubod tamis.

I shut my eyes, mas lumalala ang sakit ng ulo ko. As far as I remember, napagsabihan ko na ang security team na wag papapasukin basta basta ang babaeng ito sa building.

"What are you doing here Elizabeth?" she stood up and was about to kiss me pero mabilis akong nakaiwas at nagtungo sa table ko.

"Why are you so cold to me?" tampo niya and pouted her lips which I found more irritating.

"What do you want?" walang interes na tanong ko as I browse the papers Ana left me yesterday.

Elizabeth Chan is now a popular icon in the showbizness, not because of how great she is but because of the rumors that is linked to her name.
