My First Kiss Stealer (Completed)

Chapter XXXVIII

Mislead

'Are you going to turn down my offer?'

That was the nth time that Dennis texted me today. I'll be leaving next week back to London. He called last night and offered to join Elegance. Iyon yung company na mina-manage ni Dennis ngayon. It was one of the companies owned by the Hipolito's. He is the acting CEO. Di nga ako makapaniwala na magiging CEO agad si Dennis after he finished college.

Knowing his playful and bulakbol personality, I did not believe at first that he is now working.

Elegance is one of the top known bag makers in the Philippines. They are also exporting local products and sold internationally. Sa pagkakaalam ko pa, they also manufacture bags being labeled on a different brand in Europe.

I did'nt answer his text again. Instead, I concentrated on a new bag design that pops my mind a while ago. I need some distraction to temporarily forget my heartbreak.

"Raine, dinner is ready." Mom called outside my room.

"Susunod na po."

I was about to stand up when my phone rings. It was Dennis. Malamang mangungulit na naman ito.

"What now?" I answered.

"Ang sungit naman. Ganyan ka ba sa future boss mo."

"Hello! Tinanggap ko ba ang job offer mo? Sige nga, give me a very good compensation package para i-give up ko ang mga applications ko sa mga companies sa London."

"Well, aside from your gorgeous and hunkylicious boss, I will give you a very good salary. Knowing that you are still inexperienced, a six digit amount as a team leader designer is not bad. Not only that, I can provide you all the exposures you will be needing by joining the very prestigious annual bag designing competition this year. Will an entry in Bagaholics entice you?"

Namilog ang mata ko. Bagaholics? Are you kidding me? It is the most prestigious bag designing tilt in the country. High school pa lang ako alam ko na ang tungkol sa annual competition na ito.

"Seriously, Dennis?"

"I am very serious Lorraine. Nabanggit ko na naman sa iyo na aalis na this month iyong head ng bag designers. May kapalit naman siya kaya lang we need new bloods para manalo naman ulit ang Elegance. Ilang taon na rin kaming luhaan sa contest na iyan. Hoping that getting new bloods to join our experts can get us a position. What do you think now?"

"Kailan ang interview?"

"Yes!"

"Be here tomorrow. You know the interview is just a formality but you're actually in. Welcome to Elegance Raine."

"Thank you Dennis. I mean Sir Dennis."

He laughed. "I should be getting used to this "Sir" thing. Okay, see you tomorrow."

"Thanks again."

Hindi ba ako nabigla sa pagpayag ko? I guess not. I'm actually excited. Wala pa naman akong job offers sa London. This could be a good training groud for me. Also, being part of Bagaholics will gain me more knowledge sa kalakaran ng bag designing and making.

Sa totoo lang, gusto ko ng umalis ng bansa. After I saw Jake the other day with that girl. I thought my world will apart again. Siguro dahil tinanggap ko na noon na nag-asawa na siya kaya halos wala na akong mailuluha pa. Yes it's true that I was very hurt seeing them. But what's the point kung may asawa na siya at nambabae pa. He is not worth my tears.

Tama na ang iniyakan ko siya ng mahigit apat na taon.

I have to move on.

I will definitely move on.
