Ms. CEO vs. Mr. CEO

On my signal, one, two, three...and a gun shots was fired against the enemy. After a few minutes there was peace, and the only men standing was headed by a woman. Queen! You are amazing! Exclaimed by Tao and all the man cheered and agreed. There were about twenty or more encounters happened in the past three years since Alex became the leader of the organization in the Asian Region. But nobody knew and see her because she wanted a peaceful life. Every time they will face an enemy she will disguise herself as queen, during normal day she is just a typical student and community worker.

Alex was busy doing her job as room attendant in Lee Mansion Hotel. She is working here 5 days a week. Her job is normally to keep all the rooms neat and tidy for the guest. Since it is in Paris, quality and service are the name of the game. Today, was just a normal day for her except that one of her colleagues was sick, she has to replace her in the Public Area. There is an on-going activity in the hotel which is attended by 800 people around the world. At first, she wanted to decline her boss because there might be someone who knew her. But because her boss was so kind to her she accepted the job anyway, just for today.

While she is doing her job, 3 children are playing in the area and it cause a lot of worry for her because first, the area they were playing at she just cleaned it, second, they might meet an accident because the floor is slippery and third, they were so naughty. Annoyed Alex approach the kids but she hide her annoyance

She approach the girl. What is your name swettie? Ask Alex

The girl stared at her and smile. I am Julianna. Wow, you have a beautiful name, complimented by Alex. She also asked the other 2 boys which replied to her their names Justin and Jarred. She told them, kids, you have to take care because the floor is slippery after saying this, the 2 boys threw 2 pillows directly to her face and laughed. It drew attention to people. While Juliana, shouted Stop! You are bad! You are bad! and tears are about to fall. But Alex, told her, baby im fine, your brothers are just playing. But what they did is really wrong I will talk to them. What is happening to her and the kids got the attention of a man but he let her handle the situation of kids. He just observing what will be the next move of alex.

Swettie, stay here, don't run around. I will be back.

She approached the two boys, she talked to them. The man was surprised and wondering what she said to the boys because they obey her like a master of the sheep. No other person ever did it. They did not even obey him when he is talking to them. In the couch, the 3 kids and Alex are discussing something, curious of what she is telling to them, the man hide in one corner and attentively listening to what she is telling.

"Justin, how old are you"?

"I am 6 years old and you Jarred, I am 8 years old, " Replied the 2 boys.

"See, you are older than Juliana and yet you both are not setting a good example to her. You should be the one who is taking care of her and become her idol. Big brothers are like heroes. They protect, love and taking care of the people close to them". Scolded by Alex. "Who are you with today"? Asked Alex, "Our dad replied" the 2 boys. "And your mom"? Alex questioned.

"We don't have mom anymore, she passed away when we are little".

For a few seconds, alex was stunned and surprised and her heart ached a little bit for this kids. I am sorry for that. Said Alex.

"You have no mom, all the more that you should keep each other company because only the 3 of you will protect and love each other while your dad is away. Of course your dad loves you, but I think he is busy making money for your future".

With this statement, the man felt a little strange in his heart. Who is this woman, is she married, is she have her own kids why she handled it very well.

"Did you know that a lot of kids outside is longing to have a life like yours? A lot of them no brothers and sisters and they don't have food to eat, you are lucky that you have a lot of food and you have each other. A lot of them, no parents to call mom and dad, and you, you have your dad. A lot of them, they don't experience to sleep in a comfortable bed but you, I think you have your own bed in your home. A lot of them, they don't have home. See, you have to behave and become a person that appreciate what they have". Said Alex. After she said these, Juliana is now weeping.

"Don't cry swettie, when I have time, I will bring you this children".

Really? asked Juliana.

"Justin and Jarred, from now on, act as a hero okay"? The boys nodded in agreement to her words.

"But heroes are flying and fighting. Are we going to fly and fight"? Asked Justin. Alex, laughed a bit.

"Not all the heroes are flying and fighting. Many of them are just simple people without wearing any costumes. And they are kind, behave and obedient, just like you. You can become a hero". Said Alex.

"Really"? asked Justin.

"Yes, that is why, from now on, you should act as hero".

The man, silently smiled and admired the woman.

I will go now, I still have to work to do. When she is about to go, What is your name? Asked Jarred. I am Alex. With a smile you can call me, Auntie Alex. Remember to behave, take care each other and become a hero. And Alex walked away.

The 3 kids left without thinking of just what happened. Until the activity was finished they behave and stayed to each other's side.

Tim, was about to approached the children when his assistant told him that, Branch Managers are now gathered in the conference room for the short meeting. Tim, glanced at the kids, and told his assistant. Tomas, please bring the kids to the room. Yes boss. With amusement and curiosity, Thomas asked the kids, Are you okay? It seems that you are so behave now, did you made mistake? Did you commit errors? Tell me, before your dad found out. Asked Thomas. The kids just stared at him and told to him, let's go uncle to our room said Jarred. Huh?! Okay, said Thomas.

This is the first time that the kids called him uncle.

While waiting for the lift, Justin and Jarred begun to tease Juliana and telling her a crying baby. They started to become naughty again when they run out with a woman. Ouch! What are you doing? Can you behave yourself? You almost ruin my bag. Did you know how much its cost? Said Nicole. I am sorry, said Jarred while on longbow. Did your parents did not teach you good manners? While staring at Thomas, thinking that he is the father of the kids. I am sorry, ma'am. They are just kids and they don't want to ruin your bag. Again, I am sorry. Said Thomas. The woman still cannot get over to what just happened. People like you is not allowed in my hotel. No manners! Said Nicole and left. The kids were stunned and look at each other. Thomas, brought them in their room.

There an hour left before Alex' shift ends. She continue to make rounds in the area to check if everything is clean and tidy. She saw Nicole walking fast and is upset. She went straight to the office and rant about what happened. She heard what she is saying and she think of the kids she just met. Its just a bag, it can be replaced how can she scolded the children. How immature and childish. Said Alex in her thought. She continued to do her work when Nicole saw her. You! Come here! Shout Nicole. Yes, Ma'am, clean my office. Commanded by Nicole. Yes, Ma'am. I will just get my cleaning materials and will be back. Said Alex.

She asked her boss, Boss Nicole is asking me to clean her office. I am about to finish my shift, I will cost me almost 2 hours to clean knowing her standards. I don't know what type of cleaning she wanted. They said she is so fussy. Said Alex. Her boss, think for a while. Okay, I will asked others to clean it. But you have to swap their job, you their remaining rooms. Okay boss.

Alex, press the doorbell, and knock, housekeeping, knock, housekeeping. And the door opened. Hi Sir, would you like me to clean your room? Ask Alex. The kids heard the familiar voice. They jump off from the bed and look at the owner of the voice. When Juliana saw Alex, she shouted, Auntie Alex! She smiled and said, Hi Sweetie. Thomas is so startled of just what happened. Can I go in and clean? Asked Alex. Okay, okay while stuttering, said Thomas. When Alex was inside the room, she was shocked. The pillows are everywhere, their clothes are scattered, bathroom was so wet and messy. Seeing the place she stared at the kids. The kids are silent and are waiting for what she will be saying next. With this scene, a lot of thing running in thomas' mind.

What did I told you a while ago? Asked Alex. Without waiting for the kids' answer. Jarred being the big brother, you should set as a good example to your siblings. Come here, I will teach you how to clean your room. With this, what?! Said Thomas in his thought.

Justin and Swettie, you can pick up all your clothes, separate the clean and the used one. Put the used clothes in one corner and put back the clean clothes in your bag. Jarred, pick up all the pillows and put back to the sofa and in the bed. I will clean the bathroom. Said Alex. After a while, all the kids are watching how she clean the bathroom. Then put the towels and amenities. I will put extra here if you want to take a bath before you go to bed tonight and for tomorrow. Let's go to the bedroom. Said Alex. I will change your bed sheets because it has a lot of food stain. Don't eat in your bed, you eat in the table okay? After she change everything she checked the mini-bar, she saw the milk untouched. Did you not drink milk before bedtime? You can drink this, it will help you become strong and you will sleep well. Here, I will give you each and an extra if you want to drink more. Did you eat your lunch? Why your food here is untouched? The kids stared at each other. Kids, you have to each healthy foods to become healthy and strong, and remember what I told you? The children nodded. Thomas is silent and was just observing. A little smile was on is lips. If my boss knew this, he will be very happy. I think he can have a little rest now.

After she finished to clean the room. With a smile on her face, have to go now. Remember what I told you okay? Said Alex. She look at Thomas and Smile, bye Sir.

Bye Auntie Alex, said the Kids.

Thomas, was called to the conference room by Tim. Jarred, don't go out of the room. I am called by your dad. Okay, uncle. Said Jarred. He is still shocked with how they called him.

Alex, finished her shift and change her clothes. She went to the hotel lobby to look for taxi. She will be going to her friend's apartment. She saw Thomas beside the man. She smile and said hi sir.. Thomas' smiled back and nodded. Tim stared at him with questioning look.

When they arrive in the room, it was different from the usual. Thomas smiled. The kids are behave. Daddy! Shouted Juliana. The 2 boys also followed her. Daddy, we are behave today, we helped Auntie Alex to clean the room. She also taught us how to clean the room and she told us to eat, to drink and to take a bath. Narrated by Juliana. Tim looked at Thomas who was smiling at him. Boss, I think, you can hire that woman to be the kids nanny. Whispered by thomas. Without reply to what he said. Tim asked the kids if they are hungry. The kids replied, yes!! We want nutritious food. Tim was shocked. Are you sure? What the sudden change? Are you alright? Auntie Alex told us to eat nutritious food it will make us become stronger. Said Jarred. Okay, Thomas, order for food us. Requested by Tim.

While they were eating, Tim asked the kids, Can you tell me who is Auntie Alex?

She is so nice, kind and can clean very well. Said Jarred. She is beautiful too. Said Juliana. And she told us that we can become a hero said Justin. Tim seems uninterested but in reality she is beginning to wonder who is this woman, where she came from. Daddy, can you ask her to come home with us? Ask Juliana. Tim stopped what he is eating and looked at Juliana. While Thomas, choked after hearing what the little kid said. She has her own work here, replied by Tim. The kids became silent. We will look for another if you want. Said Tim. Daddy, we want her, we want Auntie Alex. We don't want other, we want her. Juliana is started to cry.

Okay, we will ask her. But if she doesn't want to come with us I cannot do anything about it. Yehey! Okay Daddy, we will talk to her. Said Juliana.

Oh, he went outside to buy ice creeeeeeeam, excited said Carol. Alright! You always spoiled me. And I thank you for that. Said Alex. Of course, we rarely see each other. That is our treat to you and also our thank you to you when we are still studying. Said Carol. Remember, you always treat us and even, gave us money when we run out of fundings, you also let us stay in your apartment when we were thrown out by our land lady. This is just small compared to what you did to us before. Narrated by Carol.

I told you, I did it because you are my friends. No need to repeat it again and again. Just your friendship is okay with me said Alex. We can eat now. Are we not waiting Miguel? Asked Alex. I thought you are hungry, Said Carol. No, I can wait for Miguel, we should together. While waiting, they chatted for a while about their college days and her current work place. Why not apply in an office or work that is not so physically tiring? I am okay with my job now. At least I am learning something. In reality, Alex, can apply in a big companies to a high position but she doesn't want it because her parents might locate here whereabouts. Okay, if that what you want. If you have a problem, we are here. Just tell us okay? Alex nodded. Carol cannot wait anymore, she called Miguel, where are you? We are so hungry now. Im near in 3 minutes im there said Miguel.
