At first, all went well until the job she's working for close because of bankruptcy. Having no other choices, she opted to the work her best friend recommended her. Even though not her thing, she accepted being a secretary of the infamous CEO Herrick Garrison, a known strict and cold person in the place. Could she changed the mind of Herrick? What other disaster lies ahead of them?

Riches and Danger Chapter 6: Be well-mannered
Awkward. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa kusina ng hotel. As what I've said high class itong hotel na pinag-stay-an namin kaya may kusina ito na kasinlaki ng dalawang apartment na inuupahan ko. Nakaupo lang kaming tatlo at pinapalibutan ang mesa. Nasa kaliwang bahagi ako habang si Herrick nama'y nasa aking kanan pero metro ang pagitan habang nasa harap naman namin si Andrius na pinagsasalit ang atensyon sa aming dalawa ni Herrick. Tinignan ko si Herrick at nakapangalumbaba lamang ito habang nakatitig sa kawalam na tila ba'y wala itong pakialam sa paligid. Inikot ko lang ang aking mata. Narinig kong tumikhim si Andrius bago nagsalita. "Mind telling what the hell happened?" Bumaling ang atensyon niya sa akin. Alam niya sigurong hindi sasagot itong isang kasama namin na patuloy lang na nakatitig sa kawalan habang pinapalo ang mga daliri sa mesa. &
Riches and Danger Chapter 5: Business meeting
Nagising ako dahil may yumuyugyog sa aking balikat. Arghh, I needed minutes. I was a sleep-deprived person so I needed to regain energy. Iwinakli ko ang mga kamay na iyon pero palagi pa rin itong bumabalik sa pagyugyog. Hindi ko alam kong nag-iimagine ba ako o mayroon talagang nakamasid sa akin. That's weird. "Ano ba Amanda. Give me more minutes, will you?" Inis kong tanong, pikit-mata pa rin. Just few more minutes and I'm up. Hindi naman siguro iyon masamang hilingin, right? "Bestie naman. Your boss just called. May kailangan daw kayong puntahan. Business trip to Siargao," pahayag niya. Umupo ako at pilit inaalis ang antok sa aking mga mata. "Kailan ba? Tsaka anong oras na ba?" Binuksan ko ang aking mga mata at inilibot ang aking paningin sa loob ng apartment. That's weird, I thought may nagmamasid sa akin pero wala naman.
Riches and Danger Chapter 4: "What if I do?"
Andrius "So, I've heard about the news this morning. Muntik mo na raw alisin si Mark sa trabaho," agad kong tanong kay Herrick nang maabutan ko siya sa kaniyang office habang may tinitipa sa kaniyang computer. I did not bother to knock. No point in doing that. We are best friends for long that I can do things like that without being fired. "News spread like wildfire as they say." His sigh indicates annoyance. "I was close to firing him had that Lorraine interfered." Nagsalubong laagad ang kilay niya ng banggitin niya ang pangalan ng bagong sekretarya. Napatawa ako ng mahina pero sapat para marinig niy
Riches and Danger Chapter 3: Challenge
"Oh, sexretary Reyes. What are you doing here? Naligaw ka yata," pabirong tanong ni Andrius. Nadatnan ko siya nakaharap sa kaniyang cellphone habang tatawa-tawa at kinakagat ang hintuturo niya. Ano bang trabaho ng isang 'to at nakaupo lang nang maabutan ko. Baka nag-aantay lang na mismong grasya ang lalapit. Kung sabagay best friend naman siya ng isang engot kaya pinagbibigyan siya. Pero hindi pa rin ito makatuwiran. Nagtatrabaho kami habang siya, sitting here looking stupid? I rolled my eyes but he didn't see it. Nakapokus pa rin ang atensyon nito sa cellphone habang bahagyang tumitingin sa akin. "Mr.-whoever-the-hell-he-thinks-he-is ordered me to get the document containing the stakeholders of Garrison company from two years ago until now. Ang sabi niya sa'yo ako magtanong." "Stakeholders from when?" gulat nitong tanong. His full attention was now on me. May itsura sana, bingi naman.
Riches and Danger Chapter 2:Secretary
"Bestie,nasaan ka na ba? Get your lazy ass from the bed. "Don't yell. I'm already awake an hour from now. It's just that I don't have a class at seven. It's tiring spending time there. At ikaw, ba't ka napaaga, aber? " She doesn't usually go early. What made her change mind? "Kasi naman po, the guy I was talking about, that Andrius guy who happened to be with his boss, as what I've heard, are on their way to the university. You see, this boss of him graduated here so it's like he wanted to somewhat help Lacrosta University. Malay mo, you would eventually be hired as secretary once I introduce you to Mr. Lacrosta who would do the talking to his boss." She giggled na animo'y kinikilig sa boss 'kuno'. "Stop with what you are thinking, Amanda. From what YOU implied, he is selfish an
Riches and Danger Chapter 1: Odd guy in the bus
Lorraine Reyes I considered some of the memories from my childhood indelible beyond all attempts the following years tried to fade them. It stored in my mind until now no matter the effort of trying to forget them. It wasn't a tragedy that happened. It was all those humor I heard from other people with the youngest mind I had. My innocent self wasn't new to the talks I've heard from them. "Naku, mare. Alam mo ba 'yang batang 'yan, bunga iyan ng panggagahasa ng demonyong tatay niya. Nakakaawa naman ang nanay niyan," I heard the mother of one of my classmates tell the other, her face marked with disgust. Ito ang kauna-unahang panahon na narinig ko iyon. "Kung totoo man iyan, swerte siya dahil binuhay siya ng kaniyang Ina. May iba kasi na nagpapakamatay o 'di kaya'y nagpapa-abort. Sana naman makulong na ang gumawa noon sa kaniya," sagot naman ng isa.
