The woman led me the way to the General Manager's office. This area of the top floor was clearly surrounded by high-ranking executive offices from various and even sub-branches and departments. I couldn’t help but think over and over about why the heck is it necessary for General Manager to interview me when this is solely and basically the work of the Hiring and Recruitment Department. Why not just leave it alone to them?! My anxiety level increased. If the HR people were enough to make me nervous earlier, what more if General Manager himself is already the one I'd be facing, right? A place so high up! Also, it's one of the major positions in a large company and business like this! Anyhow, I was puzzled by the General Manager's request that an applicant be brought to the top floor so that he could conduct the interview personally. But why just with me? As I could recall, the applicants who came before me had their interviews in the HR Department that went well and just fine! "Give
I swallowed at what he just said. F*ck it! How did this happen? How did he get to be the General Manager of this very grand and huge business?!What the h*ck was happening?!With his gaze fixed on me and grinning coquettishly, he stood up and took steps nearing me...“Now, you remember the night?” he continued.He asked me something personal, and despite the fact that my knees were shaking from anxiety, I couldn't help but be annoyed! Can we not discuss about s*x right now because, as far as I believe, I came here today for a job interview! J-O-B!"Well, I guess it's no longer any of your business, Sir, because what you're asking is a personal issue of my own." Still, I tried to be formal and polite no matter how in the back of my head I already wanted to slap him right in his face!He came to a stop in front of his table and sat just off the edge. He seemed like a model doing a manly pose for a magazine cover. And geez, he was doing it effortlessly and naturally! Alright. I would no
I sighed, chose to remain calm, and gave him my sweetest smile. "Forget about it. I'm withdrawing my application from this company. I just feel so sorry to hear and have found out that the General Manager of Wynnfor Apparel is actually a pervert asking his female applicants to strip to get hired. Pity for this very huge business. I'll leave now. Have a nice day ahead.”After saying just that, I walked back smiling, even though I was about to break it with displeasure and fury. His disrespect and nastiness made me want to throw my high heels straight at his face! If only really I could!"You're hired!"I had almost made it to the door when he announced that dramatic declaration.What?! Just what?!I turned around to face him with a big question mark on my face.He shook his head and repeated himself. "You're hired.""No." I couldn’t help but remain sarcastic. "Don't bother, Sir. Besides, I came to realize that I actually don't want to work with a boss who wants to invade too personall
After a series of rejections, I found myself applying for jobs as an English teacher in private schools, despite the fact that I absolutely don't want to teach or find the career to be neither interesting or exciting."You're qualified for the job and we honestly liked the way you delivered yourself during your interview and demonstration, but unfortunately, we can only hire teachers who have already passed the board examinations for our institution. I’m sorry, hija."I couldn't help but be bitter. Board passer? As far as I know, private schools do not require licensure passer teachers! What's that? They're now labeling their standards to the standards of public and government-owned schools?!I haven't taken the teacher's licensing exam yet, thus I don't have a LET passer credential. I didn't really have any plans back then, and I didn't want to teach, either. The truth was my close friends who used to like teaching were the reason behind me taking this course, but fashion is where my
All the heat I was feeling flew straight to my head, and my blood began to boil violently.Just what?! I'm hired? But not as a fashion designer and instead, as his personal secretary? F*ck him to core! Son of a b*tch!“D*mn you!”There was no point trying to be nice anymore as I already had enough of his wickedness! Besides, he had never been nice to me, either!He chuckled when he got back to his table."You're welcome, sweetie!" he responded teasingly and sarcastically.I glared at him viciously! If dagger eyes could kill, he might have been laying on the floor now and sweating his own blood! How I hated him!"When would you like to begin working, anyway? If you want, you can start right away at this day or this very moment, no problem with me. But the first day of official work is tomorrow, and it's necessary, so don't be late. I'm advising you," he spoke with serious authority.Okay, I know... When he says it, he does it!He was able to block my applications to other companies an
Fabio was being unfair to me even in front of his sister and Danette!The Deputy General Manager turned to Danette. "Did you find the files I asked you to look for, Danette?"Danette nodded at the beautiful boss. "Yes, Miss. It's on my desk."Natasya smiled and nodded. "Great. Let's go."She even grinned at her bro before she and Danette passed by us. The latter followed her and waved her goodbye to me and to my boss.I smiled in response.To my surprise, I discovered that the Deputy General Manager's office is near my boss's. Just about three offices apart. Danette sat down at the desk outside Miss Natasya's office and began working. Thus, Danette is in fact Miss Natasya's secretary.Suddenly, I feel the urge to replace my current boss with Danette's boss! Deputy General Manager herself appears to be nicer and fairer than her brother Fabio, who seems like a monster boss!Fabio entered his office and I followed."You're not doing your responsibilities…" he asked brutally as he walked
"Tami?"I seek the familiar voice of the person who just called my name.A friend of mine surprised me at the workplace while I was at my desk and in the middle of my duty."Chris! It was you!”Who would’ve thought that we’d see each other here in San Pablo! He even seemed to have found out the place I currently work for.“So, I was right all along! You were staying here in this city. We’ve been looking for you everywhere all this time, Tami!” he said, cooly.He seemed to be happy to have finally found my whereabouts at the moment, and I couldn’t deny that even if it was unexpected, I was also happy to see one of my friends here.I smiled and nodded. “Yeah.”“Why are you in this place, by the way?” He seemed to look around to see a clearer picture. “No, don’t tell me, you’re working for this company?”“Yes, Chris. This is where I work currently.” I shrugged my shoulders. “It’s a long story.”“But why?” He was still confused. “And what’s your job here? Don’t tell me you’re serving and
Chris responded with a simple shrug.I wasn’t completely convinced, though! I loved seeing that one day he and Natasya would go on a date! That would definitely be cute!"Alright. I have to go now because I still have to run some errands. Bye, Tamara. Nice seeing you here." He casually kissed my cheek and waved goodbye.I nodded and waved, too. "Bye, Christian! Nice to see you!"Not so long after and I was watching his back going his way to the elevator."Take care!"Before he got there, the lift opened and a naturally tan-skinned woman went out of it.The air of sultriness she exuded as she strolled through the hallway caused me to almost jaw-dropped. She wore a white bodycon dress and her black hair was a little long.She had a gentle face and the word ‘beautiful’ was a total understatement to describe her!Christian stopped and looked at her.“Hi, Miss!” he even greeted her nicely to get her attention.But I didn’t know if she didn’t hear him or if she really had intentionally igno
