Irene was bothered by the presence of a very stubborn guy. Of course she doesn't want the misunderstanding to get the best of her so she decided to shun him completely, "Just think of it as if he doesn't exist…."
"Will you really not talk to me?" Jaiden asked as he started bothering her when she walked with a stack of files.
Irene didn't care to reply and continue to have her poker faced armor.
"Athena… Here is the list of appointments that will be rescheduled for tomorrow, and here are those who canceled," Irene glared at him and tackled Jaiden who was blocking her path.
Jaiden reacted in pain as he massaged his shoulders which Irene indiscriminately bumped, "Aw!"
"Hello, here is your receipt…"I was there smiling behind my pathetic struggle."Thank you, Miss…" a customer replied, grabbing the plastic bag away from there. A few more customers followed and I felt that I was a little unmotivated towards my job. Of course, I know that it is not the jobs' fault, neither is it my procrastinating self kicking in.It is just that I felt everything I do is meaningless up to this point. Not because all I was doing was for nothing, but because I just realized that I have no particular goal in mind.Going back, I do feel like my life had no certain direction, I was not even confident if I knew myself very well. Right now this existenti
My work in the barangay is definitely demanding, however it is not like I disliked the kind of development that is happening within the workplace. To be frank, I really enjoy the tasks given to me."Mimi… you could start sorting out these documents first, since you practically grew up in the barangay hall, I guess you don't need a briefing about the location of the office?" Ms. Lany is certainly understanding."Yes, Ms. Lany…" I replied.The sorting appeared to be simple, but accurately sorting the documents in different categories really packs a punch in the gut, as I don't particularly know the difference between which files are for ordinance and which files are for announcements.
Sharing a meal with Irene and two of my childhood friends lessened my worries for a bit, however I knew they were just as shaken as me at what happened earlier."Somehow, no matter how many times I go I still can't get tired of the food in this place," Athena remarked to strike a conversation.Although I knew she was just trying to lighten the mood, she probably realized that no one is really in the mood to talk right now. We finished the meal sooner than expected and went back to the barangay hall as if nothing had happened.Irene was in deep thought, while Athena was thinking of cheering both of us up.Joseph was trying to remain neutral, as for me… I just don't know what to
The news about Thadeus and Martha Fernandez fleeing to America to hide from the law had been circulating around various articles and news sites, even their misuse of funds and connection to the black market and other illegal transactions had been slowly resurfacing.The people's opinions had drifted from lauding the Fernandez administration as the best administration of the century and now spreading malicious comments about them."The opposition is really taking this opportunity to slander our family in whatever negative words they could imagine, even false information is now spreading across different media," Uncle Jon gasped."Since many people are now engaging in posting malicious comments about us have become a majority, other people will
"Irene, I would trust that you'll take care of the rest… I'll go now," Tatay Digs, who finished another meeting, said as he took his leave."Yes, Sir!" Irene responded in a light tone."I guess you had a really good assistant secretary here, Diggory!" Erwin cheered as he tapped his friend's shoulders, "Well, not to brag but I also have an equally competent assistant here with me," he added, pointing at Matty in the process."Stop the flattering Mayor Fernandez, it doesn't suit you…" Matty remarked as she finished the minutes of the meeting."Really? And here I thought you wanted to be complemented," Erwin dissented.
"Hoy, Irene… you filthy swine, get up I hooked up a gig for you in the bar… waitress," Madeleine, her adoptive mother, threw her a uniform and instructed her to quickly wear it.Irene was able to fix herself, and finally was able to take a shower after three days of being unable to. To finish it up, she threw some light make-up on her face.Showing herself to Madeleine, she grabbed her on both arms and examined Irene, "I didn't notice you've grown up quite beautifully," she remarked looking at her growing bosom and curving hips, "George! Come here, look…"George, who was in the other room, went in and with a dirty grin he said, "You think she's ready for that stuff?"
"Here…" Matty handed her a flashdrive. Much to Irene's confusion, she quickly asked her, "Is this…""I thought you might've wanted this, inside there contains all the information I could gather regarding the Maguindanao Massacre case, enough to get the case running again," Matty replied, "You could hand that evidence yourself, if that is what you wanted…""And, it also includes information regarding the location of your parents' remains, along with your birth certificate… being able to have this conversation with you now, I guess I did the right thing by including it in my evidence files."Irene couldn't stop her emotions upon holding the chance Matty had given her, of course, she didn't expect much, she just wanted to know the truth
Upon hearing the news that the Maguindanao Massacre case is running once again, Mariano had a mischievous grin as he sat on his office chair."Sir, you called me," one of his assistants entered the room."Gather all our files regarding the Maguindanao Massacre," Mariano slouched as he rested his elbows on the table."Sir, there is also some news circulating that Miss Irene Mangundadatu had already resurfaced to the public," his assistant added."I already anticipated that, I'm sure my granddaughter had given her some kind of information for her to bravely speak out," Mariano calmly replied."What will you do
