The CEO is My Husband? (Completed)

Chapter 12: Responsibilities

Marvin's POV

Hindi ko maiwasang matawa sa isip nang makita ang reaksyon ni Jenn. That was epic!

I admit I had the same reaction when Dad told me that she'll be my employee. Hindi ko alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isip ng parents namin but I admit again, I was surprised and happy at the same time.

Am I acting weird? I think that my work here will not be boring anymore because of her.

Tsss...that girl...

Natigil ang pag-iisip ko nang mag-ring ang phone ko.

"Bro, napatawag ka?" I asked after accepting the call.

"Woah Bro, good mood ka ata ngayon."

Napangisi ako, "It's just that something amusing happened."

"Ohh Marvin parang alam ko na kung bakit ka good mood. I heard Jennifer had transfer in your company."

"Clyde, it's not what you think. Nakakatuwa lang talaga siyang asarin."

Lalo na 'yong mukha niya. Pffftt...

"Ohh is that so? Anyway since she's your wife then she has a privilege in your company."

I shook my head as if he can see me, "Nope. She's only here for work. And no one knows that she's my wife aside from you and Dad."

"Oh then who's more important for you bro? Your wife or the company?"

"Of course the company," I said without any hesitation.

"I see. But I guess ngayon lang iyan Bro."

Napailing-iling ako, "Stop talking nonsense Clyde. Yes she's my wife but my responsibilities in our company is beyond important."

"Okay Mr. CEO."

"Tsss..." I said then I ended the call.

Napaisip ako sa sinabi ni Clyde but I'm just being honest. Malaki na ang na-invest kong panahon, effort at pera sa company sa loob ng three years kumpara sa four months na pagkakilala namin ni Jennifer.

*Knock knock*

"Come in," I said coldly.

"Sir Marvin, may urgent call po from Mr. Ford," Sec. Aly said and hand me the telephone.

"Yes Mr. Ford?"

"Okay then don't worry Mr. Ford. I'll conduct a board meeting as soon as possible."

Jenn's POV

Nang makarating kami sa working station ko, napatingin sa akin ang lahat ng magiging workmates ko. Ngumiti ako sa kanilang lahat. Ipinakilala ako ni Sec. Aly sa Manager ng Accounting Team bago siya nagpaalam.

Maganda siya, medyo matangkad at siguro nasa 25-30 years old na siya kung 'di ako nagkakamali.

"You're Ms. Jennifer from Montenegro Corp. right?"

Tumango ako.

"I'm Ms. Melanie Reyes. You can call me Ms. Reyes."

"Nice meeting you po Ms. Reyes." nakangiting sambit ko.

Ngumiti lang din siya sa'kin. Mukha naman siyang mabait. I think magkakasundo kami ni Ms. Reyes. Maya-maya sinenyasan niya ang isang maganda at sexy na babae. Nang lumapit siya sa'min, I realized that we're in the same age.

'Yun nga lang mukha siyang mataray. Tiningnan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa at tinaasan pa ako ng kilay. Bigla tuloy akong na-conscious.

"Diane, this is Jennifer ang bago mong kapartner in replace of Mica," ani Ms. Reyes.

"Oh? I prefer Mica better than her," Diane said then flip her hair.

Aba't ang taray talaga! Buti na lang 'di ako pumapatol sa kagaya niya. Saka first day of work ko 'to kaya dapat kumalma.

"Diane, please behave. She's new here so treat her properly," naka-taas ang kilay na sabi ni Ms. Reyes.

Napangiti ako sa isip ko. Ms. Reyes is so kind.

"Hmmppp...Okay," Diane said then she walked out.

"Jennifer, hayaan mo na si Diane. Mabait naman iyan, medyo mataray lang," baling ni Ms. Reyes sa'kin.

"It's okay Ms. Reyes. Salamat po sa pagtatanggol sa'kin. Jenn na lang po ang itawag niyo sa'kin," nakangiting sambit ko.

"Okay Jenn, doon ka sa katabing desk ni Diane," Ms. Reyes said before she left.

Eh? Magkatabi kami?

Dahil no choice naman ako, lumapit na ako sa desk namin at inilapag ang mga gamit ko.

"Kung iniisip mong magiging mabait ako sa'yo, you better think twice Jennifer," Diane said then she rolled her eyes.

Hindi ko na lang siya pinansin at inayos ko na lang ang gamit ko. Sanay na rin naman ako sa mataray e' since no'ng first day of work ko sa company nina Papa at Tito Mike, mataray din sa'kin si Ma'am Sandra.

Lumipas ang ilang linggo, maayos naman ang naging trabaho ko. Kahit tinatarayan pa rin ako ni Diane, I admit magaling naman siya. And as usual 'di ko na lang siya pinapansin para iwas-gulo na rin.

Kung tinatanong niyo si Sir Marvin, ayon hindi naman kami nagkikita during work. I'm glad he's not disturbing me.

Well...hindi naman talaga kami magkikita 'coz his office is upper than mine. And he's the busiest person inside this building, I guess. Tingin ko nga kahit break time nagtatrabaho pa rin siya. Checking papers, reading documents, signing contracts, and etc.

Ako naman busy sa accounts and some projects. Tambak agad ang paperworks kahit kalilipat ko lang.

Because that's what the business life is. Being professional is more important than anything, even personal matters. Business and work first 'e.

Sabay kaming pumasok sa trabaho pero laging may nauuna sa pagbaba ng sasakyan. He suggested that so no one will suspect us. I agreed since ayaw ko namang may makaalam na mag-asawa kami. Mas gusto kong magtrabaho nang tahimik at sa sariling sikap.

Tuwing pag-uwi naman, minsan isinasabay ako ni Marvin at siyempre sinisiguro namin na walang makakakita.

Pero minsan hindi kami magkasabay kasi nag-oovertime siya or kaya naman may dinner meeting pa siya. Kaya bumibiyahe na lang ako para makapagpahinga na rin sa bahay.

Oh well...I'm thinking a lot. Baka pagod lang ako sa work. I need to take a good sleep. And delicious food na rin.

Naglalakad na ako palabas ng kumpanya nang  makita ko si Marvin I mean Sir Marvin with some businessmen. Maybe, his clients or stockholders. Baka may dinner slash business meeting sila.

Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako habang pinagmamasdan ang pag-alis ng sasakyan ni Marvin. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero parang ako ang napapagod sa nakikita kong buhay niya.

Is that how a life of CEO revolve everyday?

Nag-face palm ako. Jenn, what are you thinking about your workaholic/ conceited boss/husband?

Sighed. Kailangan ko na ngang umuwi at magpahinga. Maybe it could help me to get distract from these strange thoughts about him and his life. I have my own, though.
