《The Secret of the Secret Boss》Chapter 4
Advertisement
"enjoying the view miss?" mayabang na tanong sa akin ng lalaking nasa harapan ko.
Inirapan ko lang siya at umayos na sa pagkakaupo.
"do you usually do this with your boss?" mapag usisang tanong ni RM
"we're bestfriends and yes, we normally do this", deretsong sagot ni Marco
Umupo si RM sa kaliwa ko habang nasa kanan ko naman si Marco.
"let's just drink until we're wasted guys. Sir, give us 5 shots each please." turan ko sa bartender at agad niya naman akong sinunod.
Uminom nga kami ng uminom, mag eeleven na ngunit madami paring tao sa bar, naramdaman ko nalang ang biglang pagbagsak ng ulo ni Marco sa balikat ko, buti nalang at nasalo ko dahil kung hindi, malamang nabagok na ito.
"uuwi na kami sir Reigan", baling ko sa lalaking titig na titig sa akin ngayon. Nakakaintimidate pero wala akong pakialam, ang inaalala ko lang ngayon ay ang pag-uwi namin ni Marco.
"ihahatid ko na kayo", alok sa akin ni RM pero umiling ako. Kaya ko pa naman magdrive, iyon nga lang, hindi ko kayang buhatin ang lalaking mahimbing ang tulog sa tabi ko.
"pakisamahan nalang ako sa pagdala sa kanya sa sasakyan", pakiusap ko kay RM, agad naman siyang tumayo at dinaluhan ako, actually, siya na ang nagbuhat kay Marco, napakahina naman talaga nito pagdating sa alak. Tsk tsk tsk
"i can drive you both home" offer ulit ni RM, hindi na ako tumanggi sa pagkakataong ito dahil naramdaman ko nadin ang pagkahilo, babalikan nalang nmin ang sasakyan ni Marco bukas tutal kilala naman siya ng may-ari ng PTB. Uupo na sana ako sa likod pero sinabi ni RM na ayaw niyang magmukhang driver kaya sa frontseat ako umupo. No choice.
"happy birthday", wika niya sabay abot ng isang maliit na kahon. Nagulat ako, una, dahil alam niyang kaarawan ko, pangalawa, may regalo?.

Binuksan ko ang maliit na box na dark red ang kulay, bumungad sa akin ang kwintas na may letrang V at nakatrace ang mga nasa sampung maliliit na dyamante rito. Nakakamangha. Totoo kaya ito? Hahaha.
"salamat, hindi kana dapat nag-abala pa, paano mo nalaman na birthday ko?" nagtataka kong tanong.
Hindi siya sumagot. Don't tell me. Tss. Buti nalang naayos ko na ang background ko kasabay ng pagpapalit ko ng pangalan, pagkagraduate na pagkagraduate ko, binago ko ang pangalan ko, nagpabago ako ng aking mga records na galing sa school na pinag aralan ko, lahat. I lived by the name Valerie.
"minsan, pwede mo nalang tanungin sa akin, wag kana mag background check. Open naman akong tao eh", medyo naiiritang dagdag ko
"pasensiya na, gusto ko lang naman isurprise ka", sagot niya habang nakatuon padin ang mata sa daanan
"Dito nalang sa ELITE building"
Agad naman niyang itinabi ang kanyang kotse at saka ako pinagbuksan, no choice, hindi ko kayang buhatin mag isa si Marco kaya inakay ni Reigaan sa kanan at ako naman sa kaliwa.
"didn't know, you live in a very prestigious condo", manghang turan ni RM habang papasok kaming tatlo sa elevator
"bestfriend ko ata tong buhat buhat natin ngayon", pagmamayabang ko
Pagkabukas ng elevator, agad kong pinindot ang passscode at ipinasok ang Boss kong nagtutulog-tulugan.
"saan natin siya ihihiga?"
"sa kwarto ko", deretso kong sagot na dahilan ng pagkunot ng kanyang noo
"seryoso kaba? Bakit? Wala kabang guest room?" (imaginine niyo nalang yung mukha niyang curious na curious at the same time parang galit)
"we sleep together" deretso kong sabi na dahilan ng pagtalim ng tingin niya sa akin.
Bago pa siya makapagsalita ay umayos na ng tayo si Marco at parang lantang gulay na dumeretso sa loob ng kwarto ko. Iniisip kong pauwiin nalang si RM ngunit napaka bastos ko naman kung iyon ang gagawin ko. Kaya inalok ko na lamang siya ng kape at agad naman siyang umoo, sinabi kong mag antay nalang siya sa balkonahe at ipagtitimpla ko lamang siya.

"do you usually do that?" tanong niya sabay abot ng kapeng tinimpla ko
"do what?"
"that, sleeping together. He's your boss, right?" curius niyang tanong
"umm, yep, 9 years na", deretso kong sagot na nagpagulat sa kanya at halos maibuga na niya ang iniinom na kape, sa akin!
"what da! Really? Why?" gulat na tanong niya
"hindi pa tayo ganon ka close para magsabihan ng sekreto "seryosong sagot ko.
"give me the half of it", tumingin siya sa akin at ganon din ko sa kanya, nagtitigan kami at parang unti unti niyang napagtatanto kung tungkol saan ang sinabi ko
"paano mo nalaman?", manghang tanong niya
"wala akong hindi nalalaman, i want the half of it, 2.5 million" deretsong sabi ko
"what?, no way. Bakit ko naman ibibigay sayo yun?" pagtutol niya
try me Reigan. Try me. tsk tsk tsk

Earth Ascension - Fantasy Adventure LitRPG
It’s a normal day on Earth when a powerful being triggers the assimilation of Earth and all living beings into the Ascended Universe, a frightening wall of light envelops the planet in order to drag it into a higher plane of reality. A place where abundant mana allows powerful magic and monsters to reside. The protagonist Dante wakes up in a dark cave with vague memories of his past life. He is confronted by a crazy, enigmatic and powerful being who sees Dante as his chance to escape his prison. Tasked with a grand trial, Dante is dropped on a planet he no longer recognises and starts his perilous journey through the Ascended universe. In this universe resides an omnipotent system that quantifies everyone's existence into numbers, it also assists people in becoming more powerful. Join the main protagonist as he is pitted against powerful monsters, Angelic beings, Demons and much more. He makes friends and loyal companions along the way, unfortunately, he also attracts the attention of powerful galaxy-spanning organisations that want to use his power for their own nefarious purposes. Forewarning regarding the start of the story. This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. The first few chapters of the book focus mostly on characters experiences and state of mind. The protagonist doesn't start off as a hero, he's distressed, confused, scared and struggling for survival. LitRPG elements are sprinkled throughout these chapters but aren't initially at the forefront of the story. If you're willing to persevere, the LitRPG elements and significant progression become more heavily intertwined with the story as they become more relevant. Thank you. *** What to expect *** This is a Fantasy Adventure LitRPG. There’s gore, swearing, bad jokes and lots of struggling. (I like to make the character earn his power.)Book 1: Covers the characters' experiences in becoming accustomed to this new reality. There are chapters that focus on survival and hardship. He starts with literally nothing, gradually he accumulates incredible power. He achieves his power through completing various trials and encounters in his journey to find out who he is, and what he wants in this world. There’s a focus on the mental state of the protagonist and an alternating pace of writing to allow character development to occur. The planned second book will kick off at a much faster pace with more action, focus on the system, and delving into the purposes of the Grand trial assigned to the main protagonist.I aim to deliver a world with Interesting characters, Monsters, Magic, Epic battles, Levelling, System interaction, Skill creation, Trials (Quests), Dungeons, Training and more. *** Release ****Chapters will be around 2000-3000+ words long, averaging 2.5k. I’ve almost finished the first book and am trying to edit and polish the chapters that are being released.I aim to release 3-5 chapters a week.Please enjoy.
