Chapter 4: Team Building

"Everyone attention!!! I would like to announce that we will have a team building na gaganapin sa family resort ng Echeverri's"

"Omg!!! This will be exciting!!!" isiningit ng isa.

Anica: Denise, what do you plan to wear ba?

Denise: Wait, need pa ba magplan ng susuotin?

Anica: Yeahhh, maganda kaya resort nila doon, tsaka I heard na welcome party na din toh at the same time sa pagtaas sa position ng new CEO.

Denise: Really?

Anica: Oo, like samin before akala ko nga simple fits lang, nagulat ako puro pakabugan ng porma kahit nasa beach lang naman.

Ohhh yeahhh, I've heard this before kay Kiara which is my workmate din before, na may team building ang company na nagaganap once or so. And then one week period yung event.

Hmmm.......

How fun would it be if we do something sneaky, risky and amusing happens, the place might be secluded naman.

[Team Building Day]

Melly: Wowww ang ganda naman dito!!!

Eliza: True, tapos tayo lang andito.

Lydia: Syempre, owned nila yung resort kaya irereserve talaga nila yung place for the company.

Melly: Mga magaganda nanaman outfit nung iba oh.

Anica: Nga eh

Eliza: Ano kaya mga activities this year?

"Everyone attention, our activities during our stay is will be having lunch together, bon fire, social games, thug of war, spin the bottle, beach volleyball, special dinner and other activities."

This their way of treating their employees into something they deserve, that's why it's also hard to get in the company. Because they're treating their employees so well that loyalty has been earned.

Nasa ibang department si Ethan but we're closer kasi lahat ng paper works should be done first na nanggagaling sa kanila after that dadaan na samin, then we'll check their work.

The company we're working for is a large real estate company. Kaya we are dealing with buying, selling, managing, or renting of land, buildings, or housing. Our company is Echeverri Land Holdings, it is a popular company since we're responsible to the most known buildings today in the City.

No wonder, that meron different department sa company because we all have different cases to manage. Katulad ng sa akin I'm in Operations Management, my position is Vice President of Operations. Ethan is in Finance Department, he's a Financial Director. And Luke's in the same department of Ethan.

[THE NEXT DAY]

"So nice ang daming foods na masarap"

"Yeah masarap nga, looks like they really prepared for this"

"Oo talaga they really did, kasi compared from last year much better yung ngayon, the food and all"

"Palibhasa kasi bata pa yung new CEO, so he really knows kung paano makuha ng loob ng mga employees nya".

"Could agree on that, diba father nya lang naman yung dating CEO"

"Oo, ung father nya kasi kapag may ganitong event, hindi mo man lang masabi na fun, matanda kasi".

"Hoyyy, wag kayo maingay baka marinig pa kayo", sambit ng mga employees.

They have point sa mga sinabi nila, more on the work mode yung previous CEO. Yung ngayon kasi he knows what his employees feels, because he's around our age lang naman.

It is already our second day here ngayon.

Yesterday, we just had our leisure time tapos nagpahinga. Then today, we had our lunch together tapos right now we're having a bonfire.

We really enjoyed our bonfire night, the sky is so clear, the full moon is bright tapos the stars are visible that I could lost in it. The fresh air breeze and the salty smell nung amoy ng dagat. Hindi ako sanay...It's been a long time since I've seen the sky so clear. Nakakapanibago, wala kami sa city kaya walang light pollution dito and smoke.

"Just right for a fucking play", I mumbled and grinned.

"Hey, Denise punta ka dito mag roast tayo ng marshmallow!"

"I'll be right there", I responded. I'm relieved walang nakarinig sa mumbled words ko.

I'm looking forward to my master on what he will do, it will be a fun night. I hope my dom is much prepared than I am. Fully aware naman ata siya na may gagawin sya sa akin.

Clarisa: Denise oh marshmallow mo.

Lydia: Yannah, kainin mo na yan mabuburn mo na ung marshmallow jan sa bonfire eh.

Eliza: Grabe ang gwapo talaga ni Ethan noh?

Melly: Oo nga eh, what if sya na lang ung marshmallow ko, edi sana kinakain ko na sya ngayon"

Clarisa: BWHAHAHAHAH

Lydia: Auckhhh....auckhhh pota mabubulunan ako sayo Melly!!!

Melly: Fuckkk!!! Tagal na din nya nagwowork dito pero hindi pa din sya interested sa mga girls here"

Anica: Wait interested...you mean...Diba denise usually nagpapass sayo ng papers si Ethan so are you two close?

Denise: Ahhh hindi naman, we're just casually talking about company works.

Clarisa: Tskkkk.....boring naman.

Melly: Pero since madalas mo siya nakakausap baka pwede mo naman sabihin na kung pwede ko siya kainin hehe....

Lydia: Gago ka talaga Melly!

Melly: Arayyy, hindi mo naman kailangang upakan ako eh

Denise: I'll tell him...

I smiled after sabihin iyon sakin ni Melly. Well yeah we talk ni Ethan pero no one even saw us closely talking together, kaya wala din sila masasabi. They know I like Ethan pero he doesn't even have an idea. Need ko puntahan ung master ko, he might be even looking for me.

"Luke can I borrow u for a moment?"

"Sige na po Miss Denise kunin mo na si Luke, baka maging marshmallow na tutong na yan dito", sabat ng mga kasama ni Luke. Tsaka sila nagsi tawanan, si Luke ay isa sa mga co-worker ni Ethan same department sila. Nakita kong napatingin si Ethan pero agad naman itong napalihis ang tingin.

Luke is my current master here sa company, we got along on this decision na we'll do a sub dom relationship. I met him at some bar in the next city where I do a show for being a slave. At that time he recently just got into BDSM plays, got interested and did some research on the social life so that he could also socialize to other people with the same interest.

Agad naman na sumunod sakin si Luke, papalayo ng palayo na kami sa bonfire hanggang nasa masukal na parte na kami ng beach side. Mapupuno na yung part at mabato yung napuntahan namin agad akong tumigil, dahil natigilan si Luke sa paglalakad.
