My Boss' Fling and First Love (On Edit)

Chapter 1 - New Job

Jai's Point Of View

I TIED my hair into a bun while stepping down the stairs. Nagtungo ako sa maliit kong kusina and yes, obviously, I'm not rich. Nasanay lang talaga akong magsalita nang ganito. Maybe you won't believe me if I'll tell you why.

Kumuha ako ng itlog sa mini refrigerator at binasag 'yon sa kawali. It's for my dinner. While waiting the egg to be toasted, I turned on my speaker to listen to some songs. Patakbo akong pumunta sa likuran ko para baliktarin ang itlog.

Well, do you want me to describe my apartment? Okay then.

Sa second floor ang kwarto at banyo. Habang dito naman sa ibaba ay nakakonekta na ang kusina sa sala. It's fine with me as long as I could do whatever I could do inside a normal house. Ang pinagkaiba lang naman kasi ay maliit lang ito.

I'm Mary Jainelle Ross. It's Jaynel, not Jeynel okay? It's Jai for short. Mary sounds like I'm a faithful sister on a church and I'm not comfortable with it, and Ross is definitely my surname. I've got a weird name, right?

And my story was like this...

Once upon a time, there was a happy and a rich family alive. Nagkaro'n ng anak ang mag-asawa na pinangalanan nila bilang Jai. Isang araw, kinailangan nilang umalis para ayusin ang ilan sa mga negosyo nila but a delivery truck accidentally bumped their car. They were dead on arrival. Their child was crying really really hard but then something worst f.cking happened again. Their house collapsed because of fire, it is because of their stupid personal chef.

Paano siya naging chef kung napapabayaan niya nang gano'n kalala ang isang kusina, 'di ba? Just, what the hell?

Walang natira sa'kin but hey, you don't need to pity me. I've saved my piggy bank, where I've saved a thousands amount of money from my daily allowance every weekend. Dad even help me to make my piggy bank full, but yeah lahat may hangganan, naubos na e.

I always look and apply for a job, but luck really wasn't with me. Kung hindi nagsasara ang mga napapasukan ko ay nalulugi naman. Can worst just turn into better? You know, I'm tired but I don't have a choice. Kapag tumigil ako, mamatay ako dahil sa hirap at gutom. Kapag nangyari 'yon, I think my mom and dad will be disappointed.

Alam kong proud sila sa'kin kahit na ganito ang narating ko. At least I graduated in college bago man lang masunog ang bahay namin at mawala lahat ng patunay na ang mga naipon nila ay pamana sana nila sa akin. I already accepted my fate anyway. I'm always willing to continue and survive this my-oh-so-very-complicated-&-challenging life.

I sighed. Kasalukuyan akong kumakain nang makarinig ako ng katok sa pinto. I frowned, I don't have any friends, who the hell would visit me?

Tumayo ako at binuksan ang pinto. Hell, may nantitrip ba sa'kin? Isasara ko na sana ang pinto matapos makitang wala namang tao sa labas but then I froze. Don't tell me, etong envelope na 'to ang kumatok?

Yumuko ako at pinulot 'yon. I closed the door using my foot then leaned onto it. Binuksan ko ang envelope at halos gusto ko nang magtatatalon kasabay ng beat ng rock music na pinapatugtog ko nang mabasa ko kung ano ang nakasulat do'n.

Thank God! I've got a job!

I WOKE at exactly 4:50 AM. It's already 5:20 AM but I'm still standing in front of my cabinet. Kanina pa ako naghahanap ng susuotin, jeez.

Seven pa naman ako nagdesisyong aalis pero mabagal akong kumilos. Lalo na pagdating sa pagligo at pagbibihis. I ended up choosing my blue off-shoulder croptop. Kinuha ko rin ang high waisted ripped jeans ko which showcases my knee and some parts of my legs, at agad na tinungo ang banyo.

I PUSHED the doorbell for the fifth f.cking time! Sorry for the bad word but please, don't expect me to not say it again. I'm totally pissed off! Halos magulo ko na ang blonde hair ko na hanggang ibabaw lang ng balikat ko kakapunas ng pawis. I'm a woman with a hobby ĺike this, always sweating whenever I'm nervous.

If this large gate won't budge and give way, I'll search for another job and would not waste my precious time waiting here!–

I stopped when the gate began to open. Bumulaga sa tapat ko ang tila napakagwapong nilalang na nakita ko sa buong nakakastress kong buhay.

He's wearing a large white v-neck t-shirt and a black pajama which perfectly suits him. The reflection of the morning sun makes his dark brown hair to shine, making him look gorgeous even more. Ang mga kulay abo niyang mga mata na nakatitig ngayon sa'kin. That slightly curve nose. The reddish lips of his and his jawline. God, he's definitely perfect! Is this an angel? I never expected that a face like this exist!

"What do you need? You f.cking disturb my peaceful sleep. How dare you do that?" he lazily asked. How come I can't found my voice to answer him? D.mn. Even his voice sounds so perfect, so hoarse in a sexy way.

Napakurap ako at natauhan. What am I doing? Tumikhim ako at iniwas ang tingin ko sa kaniya. I noticed him yawning and I'm thankful because I feel like I could breathe normally again when he stopped looking at me. I wanna slap myself, I can't believe I'm acting this way! Jeez.

Napalunok ako at kinuha sa bag ko ang envelope kahapon na iniwan sa tapat ng apartment ko. Iniabot ko 'yon sa kanya kasabay ng tahimik kong pananalangin.

Tell me that this envelope is really meant to be mine! Tell me that I just arrived where the address written on the envelope exactly is! Oh please, God be with me, even just this time, please.

"Oh, you're hiring?"

I gulped when he put his head up and tilted it slightly to stare. I suddenly became conscious by showing my shoulders and knee because of what I'm wearing.

Confident naman akong magsuot ng mga ganito but d.mn it! It was like he's analyzing me starting at my white rubber shoes up to my face!

"Okay, you're hired," he said after seconds that feels like a f.cking years to me.

Is he serious? Gan'on lang? Agad-agad? He just said that I'm hired, right? Sh.t! I whimpered in pain after biting my lower lip to make sure that I'm not dreaming, d.mn, so this is really happening for real!

I followed him when he opened the gate widely. I gasped in awe when I entered the mansion. This place look so extravagant.

I can't hide my smile when I felt the air from the plants that were surrounding us, it's a feeling that seems like welcoming me. I sighed in contentment. So my new journey starts here. Alright, I'll face it then, this got to be as exciting as riding a shaky boat on a sea.
