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.
