Queen Bee's Diary

III | 11 - Alixee's Memo

•• Justin PoV ••

"SIR, MAY bago po tayong Memo galing kay Ms. Alixee." Balita ng secretary ko.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Mom made some memo? I thought she doesn't want to interfere with our management?

"What is it?" Kalmadong tanong ko.

"With regards po sa birthday celebration nya."

Mom and birthday. Tsk. Ano na naman kayang naisip ni Mommy na kalokohan?

"Okay, I guess we have to bring that to our meeting. Make some copies." Utos ko sa kanya.

"Yes, Sir." Aniya.

May monthly meeting ako ngayon sa lahat ng Finance Manager ng Castelle Empire kaya gusto ko isang bagsakan na lahat ng dapat pag-usapan.

•• Y S H I PoV ••

MS. MICHI LAID out the new memorandum coming from Ms. Alixee. Napailing na lang ako ng ma-realize kung para saan yun.

"We have to dance." I muttered unwittingly.

Ang tagal na rin pamula nung huli akong naging active sa pagsasayaw, ni hindi na nga ako sigurado kung kaya ko pa bang sumayaw.

Aleixus and Jillian were always a great couple on the dancefloor and they'd been active ever since. Ngayong may pa-dance showdown si Ms. Alixee, it wouldn't be a fair game to us. Aleixus and Jillian would win by default if we won't take this thing seriously.

"Well, you're a great dancer." Ani ni Justin kaya napatingin silang lahat sa amin na parang nagtataka. "We're college buddies." Bawi niya agad. Buti na lang aware silang lahat sa pagiging Celestiani naming dalawa.

Lihim na napailing na lang ako. Slip. Slip. Slip. He keeps slipping.

"Yliza can dance too." Sabi nung isa.

"Well, that's great, we have dancers here. Sino pang marunong?" Tanong ni Justin sa amin.

We have four girls and three guys in total.

Tumango-tango si Justin. Will he dance too? Kulang kami ng isang lalaki, ah.

"Let's all meet up tomorrow and have our practice." He announced.

Napakurap yung ilan na 'di nag volunteer sumayaw.

"Sir, lahat po ba kami?" Tanong nung isang hindi nag-volunteer.

"Yes, I want everyone to participate. It could be either dancing or cheering. What's the mechanics of the game again?"

"Bayanihan." We all muttered in response.

"Exactly. So, be here at 2pm in the afternoon."

Then he dismissed us. Umalis na rin ako para bumalik sa office ko. I have deadline to beat. I need to submit it within the day— if possible.

"Caico."

Lumingon ako at sumagot.

"Yes, Sir?" Magalang na sagot ko lalo at alam kong nakikinig sa usapan namin yung ilang kasamahan ko.

"Sasabay na ako sa'yo. May naiwan pala ako sa office mo." He said in a tone like a boss to his subordinate.

I mentally checked what he brought on my office awhile ago if he really do have a good excuse. Ah, yes. Naiwan nya yung reports ng HR Department sa table ko. It's highly confidential and it's either me or him or his secretary would fetch it, but sadly we're all busy except him. Ready made kasi siya sa reports this week at naghihintay lang naman siyang matapos kami bago magtrabaho.
