Intruder Alert: David Ferrer ✔️

Sandra POV

Despite the nervousness that I am feeling right now, I felt more contented and happy. David had been more attentive to me, being happy as he often smile and laugh. Ito ang David na namimiss ko. Ito ang David na kilalang kilala ko. Ni hindi ko inakalang mauubos namin ang mga pag kaining e-norder nito. After the main course we have our dessert. It was a salted caramel ice cream cake na syang paborito ko.

"Do you want more?"

"Oh no! I'm stuffed. Hindi ko nga alam kung saan ko inilagay ang lahat ng mga kinain natin." Natatawa kong sagot sa kanya. When David invited me to have dinner with him, I immediately said yes not because I was hungry but because I wanted to spend more time with him and now that dinner is over, I suddenly felt sad. Parang ayoko pang matapos ang gabing ito. It was such a wonderful evening to let it end with goodnight.

"How's work Sandra?"

"Honestly I am enjoying it. I'm truly grateful David sa mga trainings na ibinibigay mo sa akin. Ang dami kong natutunan." And I was being honest, to myself and mostly towards him.

"You're a natural winner Sandra. Hindi ka mahirap turoan. Kaonting tulak lang ang automatic na sayo ang kasunod." I don't know that's how he look me. Ang akala ko noon kaya nya ako binibigyan ng maraming trabaho ay dahil sinasagad nya ang perang ipinahiram nya sa akin. But as days went by, months after months, I saw the real David. Pag dating sa negosyo, his very sharp and what amazed me more about him is that he always have plan b, plan c and even plan d if needed.

"When I started working with you, I was really struggling. Not because of the work loads you gave me but more of to myself." I wanted to prove him that I can pay him every money he loaned me.

"Tell me, hindi ka ba talaga nahihirapan sa trabaho mo?" Paninigurado pa nito habang  na kangiti na parang nag aalanganan.

"Ah, that's a very tricky question. You're my boss and that is the kind of question that doesn't have any correct answer. Tama ba ako?" Natatawa ko pang sagot sa kanya.

"Of course not. You can be as honest with me as much as you can."

"Ito naman hindi na mabiro. In all honesty hindi talaga madali ang trabahong ibinigay mo but it's very fulfilling. I have learned so much from this job and I haven't personally thank you yet. So thank you."

"Para saan?"

"For everything! You gave me my own office and my own accounts. You have allowed me to continue operating with my own business, FLEX while working and earning here at your company. It was only three months ago when you promoted me to be your subordinate assistant. You gave me a very flexible payments scheme sa utang ko sayo. I wonder what's next? Perhaps my own secretary?" I added teasingly.

"Do you need one?" He asked innocently that made me smile.

"Bakit ang bait mo yata ngayon?" Natatawa kong tanong sa kanya. I never had this kind of conversation with him and it's amazing that were talking like we're friends again.

"Am I?"

"Hmmm. Yes silly and your being too generous as well. You bought me a new dress and it isn't just any dress, it's The Glamour and now you brought me here and feed me. Anong meron?"

"Wala naman. Ikaw nga dyan ang mukhang masaya." Balik nito sa akin at doon ako napangiti. Totoong masaya ako at yon ay dahil kasama ko sya ngayon.

"Is it that obvious?" Nanghahamon kong tanong sa kanya.

"Very much and I wonder why. Dahil ba kay Miguel? Is he courting you now?" Ang malayong sagot nito na ikinataas lang ng kilay ko. Do I detect jealousy in him? At gusto kong mapangiti ulit ng bigla itong mamula. Siguro he had realized how silly his questions were.
