Ilang beses na naghanap ng trabaho si Gianna para kumita at nakahanap naman ito ng trabaho sa isa sa pinakamalaking kompanya ng inumin sa Pilipinas. Pero sa hindi nya inaasahang pagkakataon magiging boss pala nya ang taong kina-iinisan nya ng gusto at ito ay si Francis Locan the CEO and President of one of the most famous Wine Company in the Philippines, The Golden Scenery. Cold ito at ayaw sa mga taong pera lang ang habol sa kanya. Pero sa kabila ng malalamig nitong mga mata ay nakakubli ang secretong tinatago nya ng mahabang panahon. Meron itong karamdaman na tinatawag na monochromacy disorder , kaya't hindi ito nakakakita ng mga kulay at malabo rin ang paningin nito kumpara sa normal na tao. Ngunit nang makilala nya si Gianna hindi nya maipapaliwanag kung bakit nakikita nya ang kulay ng dalaga. Kaya gumawa ito ng paraan para gamitin si Gianna para tuluyan na itong gumaling. Pero habang tumatagal ay nagiging totoo na ang nararamdaman nya sa dalaga kahit na ilang beses man nya itong balewalain. Ayaw nya mang tanggapin pero sya narin mismo ang nahulog sa sarili nyang patibong. At paano kaya kapag bumalik ang unang babaeng inibig nito sino nga ba ang mas mahalaga sa puso nya? Ang babae bang una nyang minahal o ang babaeng handang mahalin sya kahit anong oras at pagkakataon? Paano kaya kapag nalaman ni Gianna na planado ang lahat ng ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng lalakeng natutunan na nyang mahalin? Mapapatawad nya pa kaya ito o pipiliing umalis dahil sa nasaktan nyang puso?

  "Kola Matias."      Tinakasan ng kulay ang mukha ni Kola at biglang tila nawalan ng pwersa ang mga binti nya, kasabay ng panlalamig ng kaniyang mga kamay nang mapagsino ang lalaking kaharap ngayon. Gustuhin man niyang tumakbo palabas ng opisina ay hindi niya magawa dahil nanigas na siya ng tuluyan sa kinatatayuan. Hindi na nga niya napapansin ang pagpigil niya sa kaniyang hininga na tila ba sa ganoong paraan ay magising siya kung panaginip lamang iyon.     "You..." usal niya na nakarating sa pandinig ng lalaki.      Nagpakawala ng nakalolokong ngiti si Demus.     "Remember me, Ms. Matias?" Hindi maari! Ang bilyonaryong si Demus Moretti pala ang lalaking naka one-night stand niya kagabi!

"Sa tingin mo ba na pipiliin ka ng CEO boss natin? Kagaya ng isang cheap na katulad mo... Na isang assistant lamang niya?" ani sa akin ng pinakamagandang babae sa department nung team dinner namin. Natahimik naman ako dahil sa sinabi nito sa akin at napayuko ako. Mabuti hindi pa dumadating ang asawa ko at hindi niya maririnig ang insulto na sinasabi sa akin. "Look at you. No fashion sense and also a nerd lady... So manang. Ang gusto ng boss natin ay ang mga kagaya namin na fresh at magaganda." Napakamao ako pero nananatili pa rin akong kalmado sa nangyayari ngayon.

Umupo siya sa upuan niya at katabi niya ang babaeng yun na kinakunot ng noo niya. Napatingin naman siya sa babaeng nasa tabi niya. "Bakit ka nakaupo sa tabi ko?"
