Lesson 4

Avery Rain Santillan

It's my first day sa CHG and I don't want to show myself on their office. Sa sobrang inis na nararamdaman ko sa big boss nila, parang mas gusto ko na lang na mag-OJT sa company nila daddy or sa company ni mommy. But since I've made up my mind and I don't have a choice, might as well spend my three months pretending that I do like (please, don't take it the other way around) "our" boss.

Pagkababa ko mula sa kwarto, saktong papasok sila mommy at daddy na malamang ay galing sa morning jogging. It had been a part of their morning rituals. Ang mag-jogging ng magkasama sa umaga.

"Papasok ka na sa trabaho anak?" Tanong ni mommy habang pinupunasan ang sariling pawis. Inabutan siya ni daddy ng tubig at ininom iyon ni mommy.

"Yes mom."

"Mag-iingat ka princess. Call me if you'll have a problem with the company you'll work with." Bilin ni daddy.

"Yes, dad." Pagsang-ayon ko na lang dahil wala naman akong balak na gawin iyon. Wala akong balak i-report kay daddy kung matambakan man ako ng trabaho sa opisina o pagtulungan ako ng mga magiging ka-officemates ko dun. It's part of the job and living on this tough world.

Together with my security personnels, dumiretso kami sa CHG. It didn't took us that long para makarating. We took shortcuts because as usual, traffic sa EDSA. Seriously, hihimatayin ako sa tuwa kapag hindi na naging traffic pa ang EDSA.

I instructed my security personnel and drivers to park in front of a cafe a few meters away from the building of CHG. As much as possible, I don't want to create a fuss on my first day as an ordinary employee.

CHG had a dress code for employees. Monday, Thursdays and Saturdays are for black and Tuesdays and Fridays are for white. Wash day ang Wednesday and that's the only day we're allowed to wear anything we like.

Wearing my black top paired with a white coat and a black and white striped skirt that reached until my mid-thigh. Mahaba na kung tutuusin ang tela neto pero dahil matangkad ako, umiksi sa akin itong skirt. Pero if I was tall, mas matangkad sa akin bahagya si Amber. She is 5'6 while I'm only 5'4 in height.

Pumasok ako sa CHG at dumiretso sa lobby. There was a blonde on the front desk named Lily. I saw it on her nameplate.

"Good morning, saan didiretso ang newly hired employees for orientation?"

"Who are you miss?" Tanong ng babae kaya napakunot ang noo ko. Nagmana ba silang lahat sa big boss nila at hindi nila ako kilala?!

"I'm Avery Rain Santillan, a trainee."

"OJT?"

"Yes."

"Proceed to the tenth floor. Nandoon si Mr. Culpabebe. Hanapin mo na lang siya doon."

Culpabebe? What a weird surname.

I proceeded to the elevator and rode it. Nagtaka ako ng napatingin sa akin ang ibang mga empleyado habang nasa loob ako ng elevator.
