CHAPTER TWO | MONSTER BOSS

NAHIMAS ni Aidan ang kaliwang sentido matapos basahin ang portfolio ni miss Sierra Jimenez na bago niyang assistant. Talking to that sassy woman wasn't enough for Aidan. He also has to check her credentials and capabilities to meet his high standards expectations. Marami siyang hindi in-expect sa dalaga gaya na lamang ng naisip niyang skit kanina na buong akala niya'y uubra dito.

"Your first task as my assistant is to go out with me tonight," ani Aidan sa dalaga. Akto siyang tatayo ngunit bago pa niya nagawa iyon ay nauna na ito.

"I didn't read that task in the job description online. I'm sorry, but I'll pass because it's not included, sir. If you want to have an assistant who's taking special services, go to Ulysses instead."

Aidan knows what kind of place Ulysses was. A lopsided grin flashed on his face after hearing that response from miss Jimenez. She's really a one-of-a-kind woman and Aidan believes he's safe with her. Ang buong akala niya ay basta na lamang ito susungab pero hindi pa tapos ang kanyang skit. Nang makitang dinampot na nito ang bag, hindi na niya tinuloy pa ang balak. He couldn't afford to loose a gem like miss Jimenez.

"Where are you going?" tanong niya rito.

"Home. I'm done here -"

"Please sit down. It was just a skit to test you," pag-amin niya agad sa dalaga. Naka-awang ang labi nito at hindi niya maiwasang ngumiti ng nakakaloko. People say that his charm is hiding behind his elusive smile. And what's with this lady because she's making him smile like this? "You passed, and Bernadette here will explain everything to you, from your exact job to the tiniest details about me,"

Aidan heaved a deep sigh after remembering the scene inside the conference room awhile ago. Tinuloy na niya agad ang pagbabasa sa profile ng bagong assistant. Sa binabasa niya nalaman na solong anak si miss Jimenez, walang tatay at health impaired ang nanay. Aidan skipped the dramatic part of miss Jimenez's portfolio and focused on her work experiences and educational background.

There he saw that Sierra Rose Jimenez was a former call center agent. Kumunot ang noo ni Aidan. Dali-daling kinuha ang telepono na nakapatong sa kanyang working table. Aidan dialed Bernadette's office intercom.

"Aidan," Bernadette said upon picking up his call.

"I have read miss Jimenez's portfolio, skipping the dramatic parts of course, and I noticed that she's a former call center agent." Dire-diretso niyang sabi direktor ng human resource department ng kanyang kumpanya. Ang malalim na buntong hininga ang agad na sinagot sa kanya ni Bernadette sa umpisa.

Alam na Aidan na hindi lang siya ang stress sa loob ng dalawang linggo na wala siyang assistant. None of Bernadette's recommendations lasted as his temporary assistant. Lahat ay hindi nakatagal sa kanyang ugali pati na sa pagiging workaholic. Aidan was tagged as Fritzgibbons Corporations' monster boss. Kahit mga kamag-anak niya'y takot na rin lumapit sa kanya lalo kapag may topak siya.

"Are there any candidate who applied aside from miss Jimenez who minored in law?" Mas prefer ni Aidan iyong assistant na kayang higitan ang pagiging organized niya at keen sa mga detalye.

"You already hired Miss Jimenez, Aidan. I'm afraid we cannot take back our words now. And as a matter of fact, she's the only courageous human being out there who applied for the position too."

Muling pinasadahan ni Aidan ng tingin ang portfolio ni miss Jimenez. Ayon sa papel na hawak, nakapagtapos ang dalaga bilang magna cum laude sa kursong business management sa St. Peregrine University. The said school was a great business school among the rest and biggest names. Aidan have to commend her excellent educational background, but not the working experience.
