Falling For The Man I Married

Waking up early hasn't been that new to me. But, since I hate mornings, I still put an hour allowance before I go to work every day because I'm telling you, almost all my time in the morning I take it this way; first 5 minutes-- sitting on the bed, stretching and doing nothing. 10 minutes-- checking my phone, emails and text messages from my managers, my mom and don't forget my boss. Another 10 minutes-- preparing my clothes, 15 minutes-- taking shower and talking to myself in the mirror. And I have to spend the last few minutes wearing my clothes and do my makeup.

So sometimes, eating breakfast is not included in my daily routine.

Upon entering our office building, I started to wear my natural smile. I'm twenty minutes early, so I don't have to rush my feet getting late. I still have time to say 'Hi' and have a little 'chat' with another employee who greets me.

Well, not all of them like me. There were some of them who hated me, especially those who are members of my boss's fans club. And that two members of that fan's club were Ailene and Jenny. They hate me for being their boss's PA, in short.. they envy me. They were talking nonsense and I just choose to ignore them like I always do every time I see them.

Walking out from the elevator, they turned their way left with a scowl on their face. I haven't put down my things when Sandy, the CEO's secretary came frowning at my office door.

"I've been calling you in the lobby, but you just ignored me!" she said with knitted brows.

"Ohh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you."

"Hmmp! It's okay. I just want to give you this." she has a brown paper bag on her hand.

"What's this?" I asked accepting the bag from her.

"Hmm, it's just chocolate cupcakes. I brought you some because I know you skipped breakfast every day." she rolled her eyes.

"Ahh.. you're so sweet. Thank you."

I hugged her and she patted my arm. She's just 4 months ahead of me. And like me, she also suffered from Jenny and Ailene's bullying club when she's just started working.

"Wait! Is the boss already here?" her eyes widened.

"Relax, we're a bit early. He hadn't come yet."

"Haist!" she sighed and I chuckled.

"Thank you for this." I lifted the brown bag.

"You're welcome. Just let me my new boyfriend and I come to your restaurant and eat for free." she winked at me wiggling her eyebrows and I laughed.

"So, that's it. In exchange for this cupcakes----"

"Just kidding!" she laughed with me.

In addition to my friends, I also revealed my secret to her. And she promised to keep it to herself until I say so.
