Psycho Within

Classy Bitch

                "So? Is this all the big announcement that you have Mr. Topacio? Can Leila and I leave now? Alam niyo namang maaga pa ang taping nila bukas for the serye. She also had a series of photoshoots to attend to. " tila bored na bored na tanong ng manager ko na si Lindsey at akmang tatayo na sa kinauupuan nang pigilan siya ni Mr. Topacio.

                  "Can you spare some more time Lindsey? The press will be here any minute now. They need to see that the whole management is in full support para sa ating newest Kasangga."  Mr. Topacio said as beads of sweat covered his balding forehead.

               "I don't think Lei and I are needed here in the first place Mr. Topacio. Besides, it's Lei's and Livia's rest day today. You should have scheduled a full press conference with the media than a private meeting with us. " striktang pahayag ni Lindsey sabay tingin sa akin. I smile and immediately got out of my seat. I noticed Tita Marge and Livia preparing to leave too.

      

                Wala nang nagawa si Mr. Topacio nang magsimula na kaming apat maglakad papunta sa pintuan. We were abrubtly halted from stepping forward towards the door when an annoying voice breaks the silence inside the office.

   
                "Hayaan mo na silang umalis Mr. Topacio. Hindi naman sila kailangan ng anak ko. Sikat na sikat na siya in her own right. Besides,  I think natatakot lang ang Lindsey na yan na masapawan ang alaga niyang si Leila. Ooppps... Nasapawan na nga pala. Tahimik kasi ng pangalan niya these days. Parang, unti-unti na siyang nawawala sa showbiz. "

                 Tila napanting ang tenga ko sa narinig mula sa walanghiyang babae na iyon. Me? Slowly disappearing from showbiz? Nasapawan na ako ng anak niyang hanggang kuko ko lang? That bitch! I'm gonna kill them both! Akmang magsasalita na ako nang pigilan ako nina Lindsey, Tita Marge and Livia. I immediately composed myself and ushered Lindsey to talk in behalf of me. Alam na niya ang gagawin at sasabihin. Napangisi na lamang ako.

              "Actually Mrs. Smith, I do think you need to filter your dirty mouth sometimes. You don't need us? You should have read the contract you signed earlier clearly and thoroughly. One of the biggest share holder of this company is none other than Ms. Leila Simmons. She owned 80% of this company. So, she technically has the say for everything. Including kicking you and your daughter out. But, be thankful dahil mabait ang alaga ko ngayon. And another note. Si Leila? Nasapawan na ng anak mo? Please... I doubt your daughter will win Miss Millennial kung sumali din si Leila. Well, even Livia can beat your daughter in a snap. "  mahaba at puno ng sarkasmo na saad ni Lindsey sa ina ni Crisel na kapwa nagpatulala sa kanilang tatlong naiwan sa mesa.

           "Walang hiya ka Lindsey! Ang yabang mo! Sino ka ba ha? Manager ka lang! " galit na galit na saad ng ina ni Crisel ngunit maagap siyang napigilan ni Mr. Topacio.

              "One more thing, one requirement in this management? You got to have class and breeding. Sa tingin ko kasi wala kayo niyang mag-ina. Let's go girls. " pahabol na patutsada ni Lindsey sabay hakbang palabas ng pintuan kasunod kaming tatlo. Livia, Tita Marge and I can't help but burst out in laughter nang nasa labas na kami ng opisina. Lindsey gave us a deathly glare but we didn't mind her. I mentally noted Lindsey's performance today. She's good. I think I needed to reward her. She's a bitch with a class. Damn!
