Family
I was even told to find something to do even though I had to rest now because I finished some work early.
If he wasn’t serious I would think he was just torturing me.
Bwiset naman!
Because of the number of companies that I applied to, I actually passed.
“You’re past my heart.”
I shook my head to hear its voice in my brain.
Is Magnus still passing until now?
Ay bwiset! Why am I thinking this?
Freeda is the reason why I’m here!
I can find something to do to keep my brain quiet and remember things that should remain in the past.
Tomorrow is nothing new in my work. I stretched for a while because I was already fixing it in Magnus’ office.
He left for a business meeting outside the office.
I looked at the door as it opened. A tall woman spat.
My eyes narrowed as I recognized who it was. Her cheeks were red, her lips were red because of the red lipstick she used. Pouty lips. She’s wearing a fitted pastel pink dress that hugs her curve, it’s paired with a black stiletto. Her hair is short, up to her shoulders.
Her eyebrows furrowed when she gaze at me.
“Why are you here? As far as I know nothing…” She eyed me from head to toe.
“Magnus is helping charity.” She smirked, insulting me.
“Why are you pregnant? Are you also one of those who pretends to be pregnant to tie up Magnus? Gosh!” she rolled her eyes.
“I can’t believe women these days! Everything will be done just to get out of poverty,” Aira said.
It seems to make me hear. Then someone pretends to be pregnant and Magnus is being raped? Then he had another experience.
“Are you also here to adopt a child with Magnus? How many months have you been in your womb?” I’m tense.
She gritted her teeth. “How dare you!”
She heaved a deep sigh.
“What are you doing at my boyfriend’s office?” She gave emphasize on the ‘boyfriend’ part.
Boyfriend?
I was stunned for a second but then I realized how great a pretender she is.
It’s been five years but Aira is still illusory.
“Didn’t your boyfriend tell you that he has a new secretary? Shouldn’t you know that because you’re his girlfriend?” I smirked.
Her jaw clenched and her fist balled.
I waited for his anger to explode.
My eyebrow raised when she took a deep breath.
“Let me tell you this, to make everything clear. Magnus is already engaged to me. I’m his girlfriend. Why do you think I’m here? I brought him lunch. We ate together and we did everything together.” She puts emphasis on ‘everything’. It’s as if someone is coming.
“Look, this is our engagement ring.” Shown right. She’s wearing a ring. Anlaki stone in the middle and still shining brilliance.
I can’t believe this! Your imagination is really the limit! I bet she bought that ring for herself.
“I just got home from London. I’ve been away for two weeks and I know he’s lonely … I don’t know what’s with you and Magnus but don’t think that it will last, probably you’re just a girl that he beds. “ She said with pity in her voice.
“Yes, he put his dick inside you but he will never put a ring on your finger,” she said with chin held high.
“Don’t fool me Aira. We both know you bought that ring and you put it yourself. And I bet he didn’t even put something inside you, even a finger.”
Her palm raised in the air.
“What do you think you’re doing ?!”
“F-freeda,” she stammered.
“It’s like this woman. She’s claiming she’s your brothers secreta ---”
“Yes she is. Is that why you’re treating her badly?
“W-what? I didn’t do anything to her! She was the first ---”
“You’re always picking fights with girls near my brother.”
“Kuya is not here, Aira. You can leave now. And please stop being so scandalous, I’m tired of you putting my brother on headlines because of your obsession.”
“What just happened?”
“Bitch!” she rolled her eyes, “I really hate her!”
“You know her?”
“Yes, she’s the self -proclaimed girlfriend of Kuya. That woman is very close to her. The lizard is even stronger!”
“I don’t see why Mom likes her. She doesn’t even have a class, though she came from a wealthy family.”
“Thank you---”
“Anything for you Ate Celz!”
“But I still can’t forget what you did to me. You hired me without even ---”
“I’m just helping! I’m your fairy godmother!”
I just shook hands with Freeda.
“Then I’m destined to see your name among the applicants when I visit Kuya. See? I will be the reason why you two got back together!”
“What got us back together? Your older brother’s ugly ugly! It’s like there’s always a visitor!”
“He’s like that because he misses you.”
I rolled my eyes.
She misses her face!
“Racket?”
Even though I’m not facing it I’m sure its forehead is furrowed.
“Are you coming? Don’t you have a job at a big company?”
I sighed.
“I still have a long salary there, Miranda. I need to pay for Dad’s next therapy session.”
She sighed. “All right, you’ll be the one to model later. It’s a car again. I’ll text you the address.”
“Really?”
“Thank you Miranda! Promise I’ll get it back when I’m free!” I said.
“When did you let go?” she teased.
“Nothing came in so it didn’t come loose.”
“In your face that looks close.”
“I hope there’s money in my bank account when I’m free, Miranda. Because I can’t advance when a big company needs it on the same day!”
“Ay potah ka! I thought we were thinking the same thing!” she barked with laughter.
My forehead creased. “Ha why?”
“No, nevermind.”
Is this Miranda bwiset!
I just now understood what he said earlier!
I’m getting used to things like that.
After that, I act quickly. I need to do anything for the family.
