Chapter 8

The first month of working for Ashton was a blast. No, Im kidding. It was a blur. Parang mabilis na lumipas yung isang buwan ko sa trabaho na hindi ko parin makuha ang atensyon niya.

Well, there are times na pakiramdam ko nagseselos talaga siya, especially with Duke. But then, he'd remind me that he doesn't like me very much, so yeah. Crazy shit.

Madalas parin niya akong sungitan, and by madalas I mean almost every day for the past month. He would scold me over the slightest things, like my skirt is too short, or my dress is so revealing, para daw akong magpaparty, at hindi magttrabaho, things like that. Hindi niya rin naman ako mapagalitan patungkol sa trabaho cause he knows Im doing great as his secretary.

Nang mapansin ko ang oras ay tumayo ako at pumasok sa office ni Ashton. "Lunch?" I asked him as soon as I opened the door.

Itinaas niya ang kaliwang kamay niya signalling me to wait dahil may kausap pa siya sa phone niya. Tumango ako at sumandal sa pintuan niya.

Im having lunch with him, like everyday. Lets just say, I convinced him that if he would go grab lunch with me everyday ay hindi ako 'makikipagflirt' sa employees niya. Its a win-win situation.

"You really don't know how to knock, do you?" Aniya habang matalim akong tinitigan.

I raised my eyebrow. "Oh, Im sorry. Didn't know that not knocking is such a big issue." I told him with full of sarcasm.

Umiling siya at nilampasan na ako. "Get your things." Aniya. I rolled my eyes as I followed his tracks to the lift. Tahimik kaming dalawa habang nasa elevator. But the silence broke when my phone rang.

"Hello?" Sagot ko kay Kam.

Nakarinig ako ng ilang boses sa kabilang linya. She's probably having lunch with her officemates. "Hey, remember Peter?" Panimula niya.

I nodded as we took off the lift. "Yeah, Peter the basketball player slash creepy stalker way back in highschool. Whats up with him?" Sabi ko. Binuksan ko ang shotgun seat ng sasakyan ni Ashton bago ako pumasok doon. He started the engine before driving off.

"Well, I bumped into him. And they were like having a mini reunion for our batch later tonight, sa Valk. 10PM." Ani Kam.

I shrugged. "Then tell him we're coming. 10PM tonight." Ngumisi ako at bumaling sa daan.

Nakakamiss din magparty. Its been roughly a week or two since I last went to a bar. Madalas after work ay deretso uwi na ako, paminsan minsan ay nagdidinner kami nila Kam pero iyon na yun.

Pagbaba ko ng tawag ay agad na nagsalita si Ashton. "You're not going anywhere tonight." Malamig niyang sabi.

Kunot noo akong lumingon sakanya. His eyes were on the road. "What? Look, Ashton. Its Saturday tomorrow, I don't have work, so I think pwede naman na akong magparty." Bored na sagot ko sakanya.
