Maybe, One Day (The Six Ladies Series #1)

"Quit playing games, baby. You're tempting me."

After hearing his words ay tinulak ko agad siya. Ares is still laughing softly kaya mas lalo akong nainis, he's even shaking his head na para bang pinipigilan nito ang sarili na tumawa.

"My baby is blushing." he chuckled.

I can literally feel my burning cheeks, I probably look like a tomato standing in front of him. Hindi ko na lamang siya pinansin at lumabas agad sa opisina niya.

Damn you, Guevara.

Halos tumakbo na ako nang nasa labas na ako ng opisina ni Ares. His secretary even called my name but I ignored him like usual, now I feel really bad for Bernard. I'll just treat him a cup of coffee if I have time.

Nang nasa 3rd floor na ako, I can almost feel their gazes on me. Half of the population here are boys at konti lamang ang nakikita kong babae. I guess, mas patok sa mga lalake ang animation.

I found a vacant cubicle and put my things there. Each cubicle is wide since may dalawang computer at isang digital art tablet kung saan dito kami bubuo ng character if ever the company will launch a new game. There is also a small intercom to receive messages from different departments and of course the CEO, himself.

A girl with a thick round glasses and straight hair approached me. She's a bit taller than me maybe because of her heels. She actually looks simple naman but beautiful at mukhang mabait naman, she was smiling at me.

"I'm Emily Fajardo, the head of multimedia arts department." she showed her hands at me.

I shaked her hands with mine. "Nice meeting you, ma'am. I'm Nyx Paloma."

After that short introduction, she pointed out some persons na may special roles sa department. Mostly, lalake talaga ang tinuturo niya sa'kin dahil daw madami ang interesado sa mga lalake when it comes in making animations.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll be doing my best." I smiled at her.

"Welcome and salamat din, Ms. Paloma."

After that, umupo na ako sa swivel chair ko. I even took a picture of my cubicle and add it on my story with a caption at last. A smile crept into my face.

I can't believe that I am working as an animator.

My intercom buzzed which means may ipapagawa na sa'kin. It was Emily, she told me to make a chibi of the character that she'll be sending on my email.

I immediately opened my email account and opened the image. She sent me 3 characters of a game, dalawang lalake at isang babae. I opened my digital art tablet and decided to start my masterpiece.

After 3 hours, halos sumakit na ang buong katawan ko. Napalingon muna ako sa aking mga kasama and I saw how hard they are working, siguro nga mas madami pa 'yong trabaho nila kesa sa'kin since first day ko pa lang ngayon, the head would go easy on me.
