The C.E.O.'s Secretary

Angela  "Angela? Wake up, we're here." Kinusot ko ang mata ko at napatingin ako sa labas. The fog is covering the entire parking lot and the overlooking view of the place. There is a three-storey building and its walls are surrounded by vines. May mga bulaklak din sa paligid at may ilan ding hanging plants sa harap. Pagpasok namin sa cafe ay may ilang customers na. Napatingin ang mga staff sa kasama ko at sa akin. "Good morning. Ellisa!" bati ng cashier."Good morning, Ella. Nasaan ang iba?""Wait a minute." Pumasok siya sa isang pintuan at paglabas niya ay may kasama na siya ng tatlong babae. "Hi guys. I want you to meet Angela Jade Cordova. She will be working here from now. Take care of her. Okay?""Noted, boss!" sabay-sabay nilang sagot."Great. Angela, I want you to meet the g

Angela   "Mommy, Mommy, wake up." I groaned as I felt Asher gently pushing me. "Mommy!" I yawned and gently held his face. "Just me another five minutes, Honey."   I covered myself with a blanket and hugged a pillow. I was about to close my eyes but Asher pulled my blanket.   "You promised me that we will have a stroll today! It's already 10:00, Mommy!" I rubbed my eyes before sitting and ruffled Asher's hair. "Okay, okay. Get me my hair brush first." He jumped out of bed and ran towards my table. "Mommy, ang gulo naman ng table mo! I can't find your hair brush!" He scratched his head out of frustration as he continued to search for my hair brush. After a few minutes, he handed me my brush. "I'll go take a bath!" tumakbo na siya palabas ng kwarto.   Narinig ko pa siya ng pinagalitan ni Ellisa dahil muntik na siya ng madulas.

Angela   Two weeks have already passed and I can confidently say that I'm doing my job nicely. In my first week, I haven't been able to sleep properly because of my suspicions. I have been thinking of a way to get his blood or even a strand of his hair for a Paternity test.   My gut feeling tells me he's the man I've slept with seven years ago. But how come he didn't recognize me?   "Angela, where is my tea?"   I rolled my eyes as I went to the counter to prepare his tea. Why can't he even prepare his own drink? Is he a kid? Even Asher can prepare his own drink every morning.

Angela   Dalawang araw na ang nakalipas mula nang makabalik si Rence and almost everything seems fine not until when I was on my way to the office this morning. I noticed that everyone seemed busy. Pagpasok ko pa lang sa lobby ng company ay sinalubong ako bigla ni Evie. Her hair is tied in a ponytail and she has sweat on her face. She immediately grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the elevator.    “Angela! You’re here!” “Evie, what’s happening?” “There is an emergency meeting. The major investors are on their way here.” “What? Hindi ba ang mga meeting kasama sila ay next week pa?” “I don’t know. Mr. Andrews is the one who called for the meeting.”

AngelaIt was Monday morning and I can't help but to think about what happened last night. I was preparing to go to work when Asher knocked on my door. "You can come in."Pumasok na siya sa kwarto ko at dala-dala pa niya ang teddy bear nya."Mommy, can I go with Tita Mira in the Cafe? Then they said that they will take me to the park in the afternoon.""Sure. Just remember to bring your extra towel just in case you will play with your tita.""Opo."He climbed up to my bed before laying down. He is looking at me with his sleepy eyes. "Mommy are you okay? Kanina ka pa po bumubuntong hininga." tanong ni Asher sa akin habang kinukusot ang mata niya."It's nothing honey. You can go back to sleep.""You're bothered about something."Napatigil ako sa pagsusuklay ng buhok ko. I sat down beside him and tuck him my blanket. "Don't worry about me. I'm okay.""Mommy be strong, okay? I know that you are strong, and I know that you know that. But it seems like there are times that you tend to fo
