My Ideal Girl

Chapter 2

I told him.

He was clearly confused.

"Ituloy mo lang yung trabaho mo. Manmanan mo daw ako diba? Edi gawin mo. Basta laktawan mo na lang itong pagpunta natin dito sa building.  Wala naman nangyari diba? Hindi ko nakasama si Maam Jema kaya walang interesting kay Maam Deanna sa nangyari dito. Nagets mo na ba?"

I am about to get pissed.

He left me quick when he realized I am literally asking him to leave.

I dusted my not so clean anymore outfit and slowly went downstairs.

Boss Deanna is so....

In love with her wife, close to obsession I might add.

What shall I do?

How can I work properly knowing that my boss has this doubt towards me?

I walked past her room and I saw her listening intently to the professor.

She did not take her break.

I just went back to the car.

I sat on the stone bench under the tree. I chose this place because the ancient sampaloc tree's shade is very comforting.

I am taking my time thinking of what I have discovered.

So my boss wants to know what I do every time I'm with her wife.

Obviously she wants to know how her wife treats me and vice versa.

Should I be alarmed?

But I never did anything for her to come up with that response!

Her wife is just... Kind.

I remember she called me 'Lei' this morning. I blushed I know.

My heart skipped a beat.

But I regained my composure quickly.

I recalled the things she said about their love story.

Oh well.

It isn't a response.

It is a precautionary measure.

She is marking her territory.

But I knew it already.

As much as I can I am not giving any thoughts about my feelings for my lady boss.

She is off-limits.

She is and will never be mine.

And I am not that stupid to ruin their happy family.

I am not a bad person.

I am not selfish.

I am doing every thing not to make my feelings for her prosper.

Let's just say that my heart is on 'mute' mode.

I am not listening to it.

I am trained to do my job. I  can do it without minding my own feelings.

So if Boss Deanna is having doubts about me,

should I stay or should I go?

Should I file my resignation and go back to the States?

At 11:00 am someone texted.
