Anne-Bisyosa (dela Merced #1) (Completed)

Chapter 4 : Halimaw sa banga

"Salitang kalye, Sir! Gawa-gawa language! Sa salitang baklush, anubey talaga 'yon," proud na sabi nito.

"Why? Are you gay?"

Nakatanga sa kanya ang babae. Kumurap-kurap.

"Seryoso 'yong tanong mo, Sir? O nang-aasar ka lang?"

Tumaas nang bahagya ang isang kilay niya. At sino naman ang babaeng ito para pagkaabalahan niyang asarin?

Bumusangot ang mukha nito. Mukhang na-offend.

"Hindi ako bakla, Sir! Aneber! Nagkaroon lang ng mga kaibigang baklita. Judgemental ka, Sir."

Tahimik siya.

"Go."

Umirap ito. Bumulong uli. "Sungit."

Humigop siya ng kape at hindi na pinansin ang sinabi nito.

"Here is Miss Reyes' file, Sir.",Ibinaba ng babaeng nagsalita ang isang folder sa mesa niya. Si Vanessa iyon mula sa Human Resources.

"You may go," he said in a dismissive manner.

Walang tutol o reklamo na tumungo ang babae at lumabas ng opisina niya.

Iyon ang klase ng mga empleyadong sanay si Hunter na makasalamuha. Hindi tulad ng bago niyang sekretarya na sa unang limang minuto pa lang na nakasasama niya ay hindi na niya alam ang ikikilos. Magagalit ba siya sa lakas ng loob nito? O matatawa sa animated na pilikmata nito at maging paraan ng pagkukuwento? O magiging halimaw dahil napakahilig nitong sumagot sa kanya?

And why couldn't he just fire her? Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa bumabalik si Tito Gener sa orientation ng babae sa mga gagawin. Secretaries before Anne were all smart and quick-witted. Very professional, too. Except they all want an affair with him and he wasn't interested.

Napailing siya at binuksan ang folder. Mabilis niyang binasa ang two-page resume nito. Maging ang short essay na requirement para makapasok sa Communications Department. Tinandaan niya ang mga bagay na kailangan.

Name: Anne Reyes

Really short name, he couldn't help commenting.

Height: 5'2.5

What's that 2.5 inches?

Napapailing siya.

Weight : 45 kg.

Does she even weigh that much? Masyadong balingkinitan ang babae sa paningin niya.

Age: 23 years old

I'm just three years older than her.

***

Graduated B.S. Psychology

Certificate in Office Administration

Motto: You can do it, if you put your mind to it.

What the—? It's not even a motto. And why is there a motto in her resume?

Napasapo siya sa ulo. At kinailangan niya ng aspirin nang basahin ang short essay nito.

Why do you think communications is important to industrial offices?

First, thank you from this opportunity to answer the question. Now, to answer the question, I think that communications are important to industrial offices because without communications, everyone will be confuse and can not understand. You know? Like, when the boss have something to say and the employee can not understand, the command wouldn't be made. Also, communication is a heart to every relationship. From friendship, love life, working life and so on. But let's not talk about the lovelife and other relationship right now. What I'm saying was relationship was better if there is communicate to each other. I thought it's the same to industrial offices. You know? :)
