Chapter 5 Meeting Again
- CHAPTER 5: MEETING AGAIN
- SHANBRI POV
- I was so nervous that my hands and feet were sweating.
- Today our new boss will come to inspect the company.
- Employees are currently standing at the entrance to welcome the new boss.
- I, on the other hand, have bowed my head and sincerely pray that he will not be our new boss.
- That's right, it's not him. It's another Mr. Villamor we will be going to meet today. I just said at the back of my mind to strengthen my heart.
- I don't know, even though there is a big chance that it's not him, but my hunch is really strong.
- I don't know why, but I immediately got nervous when I heard his last name yesterday.
- It's been a long time since we last met and I'm not ready to face him yet.
- Maybe he's mad at me for leaving him in the air because I suddenly left without saying goodbye so we didn't have a formal closure.
- What if he scolded me for what I did? I hope he doesn't care and forgets what happened.
- My heart suddenly throbbed at my thought.
- The only thing I'm worried about is the twins, if he's here they can meet.
- I don't want that to happen and as much as possible I don't want him to know that we had a baby.
- I don't want any more trouble. He already has his own family and I don't want the twins to be illegitimate children.
- I have to be careful so that they don't meet because my children might also be hurt if their father doesn't accept them because he has his own family.
- I'm just holding my breath from where I'm standing, maybe I won't think about it because I'm not sure that he's the new boss.
- A black car is coming, maybe it's the one we've been waiting for. I can no longer hide my nervousness.
- "Get ready, Mr. Villamor is here," said our supervisor, Mr. Santos.
- Until now, he is still a single man, he doesn't have a family yet, so sometimes he can be hot-headed with us, but it can't be denied that he is kind.
- We stood upright and waited for Mr. Villamor to get out in his fancy car.
- It's like everything has slowed down for me because of the nervousness.
- Most people are excited because according to them he is handsome.
- Mr. Villamor is coming down in his car. When he finally got down, it was like cold water was poured on me.
- My hunch was correct that Kenj is Mr. Villamor who is our new boss.
- I stared at him as he approached us. He became more handsome and his body became more well defined.
- Most of them were amazed at what they saw.
- The eyes of Mr. Villamor went in our way and I caught a glimpse of his gray eyes again.
- I immediately bent down and straightened up.
- I hope he didn't see me. Maybe with so many of us here now, he wouldn't have noticed me. My heart beat faster.
- "Good morning Mr. Villamor," the employees greeted him at the same time but I couldn't open my mouth because I was so nervous.
- He was getting closer to where I was standing and I was fervently praying that he wouldn't notice me.
- I smelled the familiar scent. This was my favorite scent four years ago and I'm still searching for this scent up to this day.
- I was still bowing and suddenly Mr. Villamor spoke. I heard his deep voice again and I think it got even deeper because I was about to drown in my position.
- He stopped in front of me.
- "What kind of uniform is that?" he said with a cold and baritone voice.
- What does he mean by that? I know that we don't have a uniform. Is he talking to me?
- I didn't answer because maybe it wasn't me he was asking.
- "Miss, do you hear me?" he asked again.
- I ignored it and kept my head down.
- "Ms. Ramos, Mr. Villamor is talking to you," Mr. Santos turned to me.
- I immediately came to my senses and immediately looked up in front of me.
- That's when our eyes met and I saw his gray eyes up close again. He stared at me without emotion.
- "A-ah e-eh, what i-is it s-sir?" I asked him nervously.
- "Your outfit. I don't want to see anyone here wearing revealing clothes. Understand?" he said strictly.
- The employees responded immediately. "Yes, sir," they said together.
- Mr. Villamor passed me and continued walking into the company. I didn't even apologize for the shock.
- "Come on. Get back to work," said Mr. Santos to us.
- I sighed and looked at my clothes. Is what I'm wearing revealing? Because I'm wearing a skirt above the knee and you can see my white legs.
- It's not that short and I'm wearing long sleeves on top. What others are wearing is even more revealing, but why did he notice me?
- I just shrugged my shoulders and went back to work.
- He still hasn't changed, he's still an authoritative person up to this day.
- ___
- Everyone is busy with their work.
- Mr. Santos approached me and handed me a folder.
- "Shan, please take this to Mr. Villamor's office because we need his signature," he ordered me.
- "W-what?" I stuttered my answer.
- "Please take this to sir and he needs to sign it so that you can apologize for what happened earlier because you didn't answer, next time don't wear a skirt and he looks conservative," said sir at length.
- "Ah, I'm sorry," I apologized.
- Breathless, I entered the elevator and hit the floor of the CEO Office.
- The elevator rang signaling that I had arrived. I went out and walked towards sir's office.
- Why does it seem to be getting colder here?
- I'm in front of the door and I'm thinking twice about going in.
- I took a deep breath and knocked three times in respect.
- I went inside and saw him sitting on his swivel chair.
- I saw his desk plate name stamped on it, "Kenji Yael Villamor, President/CEO"
- It's confirmed that he is our new boss and I am not dreaming.
- He is currently talking to someone on the cellphone.
- "Yeah, I will stay here for a while. Please take care of that while I'm away," I heard him say on the other line
- He hung up and turned to me.
- I immediately greeted him and bowed slightly in respect.
- "Good morning, sir. Mr. Santos is asking me to give this to you and sign it," I responded hesitantly.
- He looked at me from head to toe as if he was examining my body and face.
- "Just leave it here. I will sign that later," he replied.
- I put down the folder and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly spoke again.
- "Long time no see Miss Ramos," he replied deeply.
- I didn't answer right away and stared at him.
- He also stared at me with a smirk on his lips.
