I was really pissed right now. How dare he do that to my assistant? It's been weeks since I accepted the job of finding a wife for Sancho dela Vega and since then, this job is giving me a bunch of headaches. Kakabalik lang ng assistant ko from Hacienda dela Vega and she got nothing. I ask her to go to Sancho and ask him about the details of the girls he wants to be his wife.
You know the usual details about what you do and don't like about girls. Standard procedure namin yun upang mas mapadali ang makahanap ng mga babae o lalaking papasa sa taste ng clients namin, and in my case. it's Sancho and he's really giving me hard time.
"So what happen Christi? Tell me." medyo iritable kong tanong dito. Dahil sa inis ko sa Sancho na iyon kaya naman sa assistant nya naiibunton ang lahat ng inis nya.
"Sorry ma'am but he didn't even face me or talk to me. He just went there to look at me then umalis na sya agad. Sekretarya na lang nya ang nakausap ko." kinakabahang sagot ng sekretarya ko.
"And?" naiinip na tanong ko sa kanya.
"Tinanong nya po kung bakit ako ang nandun. According to the company, you were supposed to be the one who's handling the project. They felt offended dahil instead of you assistant mo lang daw po ang ipinadala mo." nakayukong sabi nito.
Great! Now, this is all my fault? Kasalanan ko bang ayokong makita ang pagmumukha ng demonyong yun? This was the third time na nagpabalik balik ang assistant ko sa hacienda nila but until now hindi pa rin namin sya nakakausap ng matino.
"What do they want?!" tumaas na ang boses ko ng mga oras na iyon.
Hindi ko naiwasang ipakita ang pagkairita ko sa mga nangyayari. She's is doing all she can para lang hindi ito makaharap ng personal but he is making it difficult for her. Now she doesn't have any choice but to face him. Honestly, facing him was the last thing on her mind.
"Mr. dela Vega wants to talk to you personally and work for this project personally. He wants you to personally pick the women who will be the candidates to be his wife."
"Really now huh?" yun lang ang tanging naisagot nya dito.
Can you see the irony in that huh? The Ex-girlfriend will be the one in charge of finding the Future wife for his ex-boyfriend. Argh! Can this day be more exhausting than ever?
She was sitting in her chair thinking about how to resolve her problem when she heard Christi's phone ringing.
"Yes, hello....?" sagot nito agad.
"Okay, I'll let her know and I'll call you back to inform you. Bye thank you." matapos nun ay ibinaba na ni Christi ang linya at humarap sa kanya.
"Ma'am I was just informed that Mr. Dela Vega is here in Manila and he wants to personally talk to you now. He wants you to come to his office at 3pm."
"Argh! Can this day be any worst?! His face was the last thing I want to see in my entire life!" hindi na nya naiwasang ibato ang libro na nakapatong sa ibabaw ng mesa.
Halata namang nagulat ang assistant nya sa ginawa nya.
"What should I tell them Ma'am?" halatang takot na tanong ng assistant nya.
"Tell him I'm busy. I can't meet him right now." simpleng sagot ko na lang. I am not really ready to face him yet.
"Okay ma'am." yun lang at lumabas na ng kanyang opisina si Christi.
*******
Even though I hate the guy, I can't still erase the fact that I have to do this job or else I would end up on the street. It was 30 minutes before 3 when Christi knock on my door.
"Ma'am, Mr. Dela Vega is on the phone right now and he wants to talk to you personally." sabi ni Christi na bahagya pang idiniin ang salitang personally.
"Put him in my line." sabi ko sa kanya. I don't have much choice right now.
I take a deep breath before I finally reached up for the receiver.
"Ms. Martinez I would like you to know that I'm ALSO a very BUSY man. I ran one ranch, two multi-million company and I have my hands in a lot of businesses here in Manila so don't you ever try to reason to me that you are too BUSY to come to my office because basically I have a lot of things to do more than you and yet I still have time to see you. Are we clear?" may diin ang bawat salita nito.
There was an authority in his voice. I can sense the anger in his voice and I can say that he is really pissed off and I don't really want to cross that line. I saw him mad before and I can assure you don't want to see it either.
"Y-yes." yun lang ang tangi kong naisagot. I was even surprise that I can still speak at that moment.
"Very good. Now, I want you in my office NOW or else you're finish." this time mahinahon na ang pagkakasabi nito but I can still sense the hint of threat in his voice. Bago pa sya makasagot ay narinig na nyang naputol na linya.
I know he's not joking when he said that if I didn't go to his office, I'm finished. I know what he's capable of, kaya mas mabuti pa siguro na harapin ko na sya. Besides, I don't have much of a choice either.
I pick up the phone and ask Christi to come to my office. I need to finish this job as soon as possible. The sooner the better, I don't want to be around him for a longer period of time. He's whole personality is screaming for danger. And I can't handle myself being in danger again just because of him.
"Christi I need you do something for me. Give me the pictures of all the possible candidates for Mr. Dela Vega, I want all the best girls in our system. I want to finish this job as soon as possible."
