(Mariel) You can call me Mariel, Sir. You don't need to be formal... *with a flirty tone and smile and do some wink to him*
(Darren) *show his smile to her* First on the list of my rules... I don't need a flirt for a secretary so if you want to stay here and continue your job knows you place, fix your attitude and wear your uniform properly.
(Mariel) *stand straight with a pale face* Yes Sir Darren
(Darren) Good. Now write this... RULE # 1 My Private office is strictly no one can come in. And also Stephen office. No one can come without an appointment or permission to go in. RULE # 2 All employees concern about work will go directly to Stephen. Lahat ng mga reklamo or suggestion ay didiretso sa kanya. Stepthen Cruz is my right hand and one of your boss so respect him. RULE# 3 Office romance fine with me, just make sure na hindi maapektuhan ang mga trabaho dito sa Empire. RULE# 4 whatever happen in the Empire, stays in the Empire. Especially all concerning about the work, the identity of the investors and all. RULE # 5 Follow all the rules so you all won't be in trouble.
