"Good morning,gentlemen" bati niya ng makaharap na ng maayos ang mga ito.
"Good morning Miss Mancera" si Sir Jeff ang unang bumati sa kanya kasunod ang kambal at panghuli si Rocco.
"Have a sit" magpapaka dakila na sana ako sa pagtayo,pero tumayo ang isa sa kambal upang paupuin ako. I dont have a choice but to sit down,tumayo ito sa kabilang tabi ng ama nito. Dinaig pa ang mga personal bodyguards ng mga ito sa pagkakatayo malapit sa kanilang ama.
"Thank you" at tinanguan ko ito at ngumiti ng tipid,gayun din naman ito sa akin. I'm not sure if it's Ruzzo or Reeve coz they are really confusing. They are really look so alike,they also wear the same clothes. As if their motto is to confuse people around them,like me.
And if ever Rocco happened to have a twin brother,instead of a sister. I would still recognise him even without looking at him.
"Miss Mancera as you know,today you are to start working as one of my son's assistant" tumango ako.
"Yes,Sir"
"You are working for my son,Rocco,,," biglang bumilis ang kabog ng akin puso ",,this is a different position for him,I want you to guide him and teach him every thing you knew about his new position,you are the one I knew who is qualified to do so,your memory is better than anyone I know"
Muli ay tumango ako.
"And I already asked my staff to move your things in your new office,hindi naman maganda na magkalayo kayo,gayong ang kailangan ay nasa malapit ka lang dahil ikaw ang assistant ng anak ko"
"Yes,Sir,anything else?" Magalang niyang tanong.
"I think that's it for now,you two should coordinate,you knew each other already anyway,so I think working with each other wouldn't be that hard"
"Yes,Sir"
"You may go now,Miss Mancera,Rocco will see you in his office in awhile"
I've already know where is my new office,one of the HR personnel showed last week. Magpapaalam lamang ako ng maayos sa mga nakasama ko sa department. They've been nice to for that short period of time,specially Meg.
"Si Sir Rocco ang boss mo?" Hindi pa rin makapaniwala si Meg na si Rocco talaga ang bago kong boss. I'm not assuming or expecting that he would be my boss but I'm considering he would be,and he is!
"Para kang sirang plaka sa kakatanong nyan,Meg,paulit ulit nalang"
Nang dumating siya buhat sa opisina ng CEO ay nakaupo na si Meg sa kanyang dating upuan. Katulad din ng sinabi ni Sir Jeff,my things aren't there anymore when I come back,just my handbag on the top of the table with Meg,waiting for me.
"E kasi ang bali balita last time,baka hindi na daw bumalik si Sir Rocco for some personal reason,but then he's suddenly here at boss mo pa siya?"
Nagkibit balikat nalang ako,I don't know whatever the rumors are.
"Well,a lot can change in just seconds,hindi na siguro nakakapagtaka kung nagbago din ang isip niya"
I was checking the drawers,tinitiyak na wala na nga akong nakaligtaang gamit.
"May point ka,day,ang swerte mo talaga,ang gwapo ni Sir Rocco,tapos mabait din iyan,hindi lamang halata,mukha kaming hindi gagawa ng maganda kung titingnan mo,pero iyong mga dating nakatrabaho ni Sir saludo dyan,kasi daw magaang katrabaho at masipag pa,kaya hindi ka mahihirapan na magtrabaho kay Sir Rocco"
"I hope so" naidalangin nalang niya sa sarili na sana ay magawa niya ang trabaho ng maayos.
"Basta,kahit break time sabay pa rin tayong kumain,ha"
"Oo naman,basta hindi ako busy sasabay ako sa inyo"
When I think I've got everything,nagpaalam na ako kay Meg. Ayokong may masasabi sa akin sa unang araw ko bilang assistant ni Rocco. I also don't want to use our connection as much as possible. I'm already here,working in a good position,with a good salary.
"Okay lang ba sayo kung magkasama tayo sa iisang silid?" Nag angat siya ng tingin.
Nakaupo si Rocco sa upuan nito,nakatingin ito sa akin dahil magkatapat lang ang aming table.
"Oo naman,wala ka naman gagawin masama hindi ba?" Umiling ito ng may ngiti sa mga labi "saka pansamantala lamang ito" napatango ito.
"Yeah,,,so how are you? Except of course you are still looking good,even better than before" itinigil niya ang pag aayos ng mga gamit niya na tinatanggal mula sa box na kinalalagyan ng mga ito.
"Masaya dahil sa wakas may trabaho na ako at nabibili ko na din ang mga gusto ko kahit paano,,ikaw? Kumusta ka na?" Muli kong ipinagpatuloy ang aking ginagawa.
"I'm good,Russia has been good to me,I met a lot of people,learned a other things,," nagpatango tango ako habang nakokonig ditong nagsasalita ",,ikaw? Kasal na ba kayo ng boyfriend mo noong college? I remember you were told me twice that you will marry him after college" umiling ako at ngumiti ng bahagya.
He still remember.
"Not yet,but we will in a year or two,he's in Singapore managing their family business there"
"Going strong,eh?" There's a hint of sarcasm in his tone,but when I look at him,he's all smile,a friendly smile.
"Yeah" tipid niyang sagot dito.
"Hope it last"
