Back In Your Arms

Chapter 19

Pagdating niya sa office.

Agot: (pasok ng office) hello Belle!

Belle: (smile at Agot)

Agot: so why am I summoned? (Lingon sa office ni Lorna but wala itong tao kaya tumahimik nalang siya)

Belle: pumasok ka na nang sa ganun malaman mo. (Smile excitedly)

Agot: anong alam mo tungkol dito?

Belle: wala! Pasok na.

Agot: (parang inirapan Belle then pasok na sa loob ng office ni Albert) why am I being summoned?

Albert: (look up and then smile at Agot) have a sit madam.

Agot: (humor Albert and took a sit in front of his desk)

Albert: (stand up then ikot sa table and parang lean na nakaupo sa desk niya naka cross legs niya look at Agot) I have a proposal to make.

Agot: (smile mischievously at Albert) is that an indecent proposal Mr. Martinez?

Albert: depends on how you will take it Mrs. Martinez.

Agot: (tilt her head and look at Albert) hhhmmmm,

Albert: I want you at my beck and call kaya I decided to hire you for my personal entertainment. If I'm stressed out you'll give me massage, if I'm going for a meeting you'll give me a good luck kiss, if I'm lonely you will make me happy, if I fail you will wipe my tears, if I achieve something you will make love to me to celebrate. How's that? (Wink at Agot)

Agot: whoah! So demanding Mr. Martinez! (Natawa) and really?! make love here at the office? (Look at Albert's desk then back at Albert) in your desk? Hhmmmm, that's one of my bucketlist. (Raised her eyebrow at Albert and wink at him)

Albert: (laugh so hard, he stand up then drop a kiss on Agot's lips then balik sa dati nyang position) you're really awesome sweetheart.

Agot: (just grin at Albert)

Albert: seriously, I want you to work here again.

Agot: (silent lang waiting for Albert to continue)

Albert: did you hear me? I know you loved your job here and want to work again so I'm giving you your old position back to you.

Agot: (just look at Albert)

Albert: aren't you happy? That's what you want isn't it?

Agot: I don't like to work here anymore. But thank you.

Albert: why?

Agot: (just shrug)

Albert: Agot?

Agot: mag asawa tayo, napag isipan ko na hindi mabuti na magkatrabaho tayo. Ayoko isipin nila na I'm here just because I am your wife.

Albert: but why? We're good together. We work well. And it is not as if they don't know you. It's not as if your position is just given to you because you're my wife, it was yours even before you married me. You've proved yourself worthy.

Agot: (silent only)

Albert: nakalimutan mo na ba how excited and happy everyone when they thought that you were back working?

Agot: (look at Albert) what about Lorna?

Albert: don't concern yourself about her, she's not here anymore.

Agot: what did you do?

Albert: I fired her because you were right. Why would I change my standard for one person who doesn't deserved it.
