Thinking of what she needs to accomplish within the day overwhelms her since she needs to go to the Admissions Office of the school Olivia needs to enroll in. Even though she is already in the later years of elementary school, she can still be admitted regardless of her level of English language proficiency, provided her educational needs can be met by the school. The Admissions Office will go through all the applications and review the documentation with the Enrollment Committee. Admissions decisions, including the grade level placements, are made by the relevant Principal and presented to the Superintendent for approval. Once the enrollment is approved, the admissions office coordinates with the finance department to issue and send a Statement of Account (SOA) via email. Upon payment of the SOA, she will be notified of the official start day.
After submitting the necessary paperwork she then paid the non-refundable Application Fee of Php5,000 "This was my salary when I started working for the Kim's," she told herself. The Admissions Officer in coordination with the School Counsellor evaluated the application and the supporting documents she submitted. With the advice from the Admissions Office, she was then asked to pay the reservation fee of Php40,000 "This is my 2 months worth of salary," she thought. The reservation fee is non-refundable.
The principal conducted an interview with Amor and Olivia. Admission acceptance is recommended by the principal and presented for approval to the Superintendent. The Admissions Officer conveyed to Amor the final action on the application. Since approved, the following information was given to Amor and Olivia with an acceptance letter:
‣ Prescribed school uniform information
‣ Fee payment details
Olivia has now been invited to commence attendance on 14th of July 2025 Monday in order to give the teacher time to prepare for her arrival as a new student.
Driiiiin. Driiiiin. Driiiiin.
A few days from now Olivia will attend her first day of class in her new school, "A bittersweet thought has crept in me, my daughter will be starting class in an international school," she told herself. To elevate her on-duty looks she chose to wear the ultra-cute white poplin crop top which is tailored with elasticated tiered sleeves and a back tie-up, the top is just the pick she needs to give her looks a joyful feminine spin paired with a front slit midi skirt.
Standing outside unit 1805, she straightened her top and lightly knocked on the door thrice then David opened the door.
"Good..... good morning Mr.....," Amor stuttered but only the children were there. "Good..... good morning young masters," she greeted the children instead. She saw Mila sitting on the sofa thus she sat beside her. After the children have finished their breakfast, Mila took notice of what happened earlier, "I didn't see the couple joined their children during breakfast."
"Oh..... that I don't know."
Mila suddenly stood up but before Amor could give her greeting Do Yun came out from their room and headed out to the door thus Amor hurriedly followed.
Days have passed since Amor arrived in the city and she was able to work with Do Yun as if the day when Do Yun left for South Korea didn't happen. She channeled her time and effort into learning the advanced level of Hangul all by herself this time so that she can also teach Olivia.
As soon as they arrived in the office, Do Yun went straight to his desk closing the door behind him.
Her tablet rang and the caller ID says Mr. Kim, "Hello Mr. Kim," she answered the call right away. "Please get inside," and Do Yun ended the call. "What a waste of phone credit," she thought.
She lightly knocked thrice and slowly opened the sliding door, without waiting for an invitation she stepped inside and closed the door. When Amor entered his office, Do Yun is silently sitting on one of the black swivel chairs with his arms folded and his legs crossed. She slowly sat on the other black swivel chair opposite him.
"Open it," he pointed to the box on his desk and Amor obediently did so and found out it is a brand new expensive laptop. "You can return the company tablet and use the laptop from now on."
"Uhm....."
"I hope 13" suits you, there should be a manual there read it so that you can transfer your files from the tablet to the laptop."
"Ah....."
"Yes, I will give you a new phone also," Do Yun cut her off and handed her another box.
"Oh....."
"I hope Pacific Blue color suits you and I need the list of tasks and deadlines that have not been met yet in a couple of hours."
"Uhm....."
"Close the sliding door behind you, I'll call when I need you."
"Ah..... okay Mr. Kim," Amor hurriedly stood up with no chance to protest and closed the sliding door behind her that separated both of their workstations.
She then started navigating the settings of her new 13-inch Ultra PC and Bionic chipped phone then reviewed Do Yun's list of tasks and deadlines.
At the end of the day, you need to ultimately set the direction of the following:
Manage active calendar of appointments
Plan schedule
Communicate directly with Board members on matters related to programmatic initiatives
Research on incoming issues including those of sensitive nature
Provide a bridge for smooth communication to maintain credibility with senior management staff
Information of upcoming commitments
Provide special project which has an organizational impact
Complete drafts of acknowledgment letters
Prioritize projects' successful completion
Distribution of materials before meetings
Schedules of meetings
Coordinate the agenda of the senior management team
She then sends the list to Do Yun's email and immediately received a response; "Take an early lunch," Amor let out a sigh and smiled to herself.
She went to the pantry and found a single table in the corner, "Thank goodness for the free food," she told herself. She also thought of Do Yun not having his lunch yet, "What does he like to eat?" she thought. Looking around the food stall she found palabok (Filipino-style noodles in prawn gravy).
When she got back into the office, the sliding door is still closed. Standing outside the door, she leaned her left ear to check if he is busy but could not hear anything. "Is he still inside?" she asked herself. Pressing her lips, she lightly knocked thrice and slowly opened the sliding door, without waiting for an invitation she stepped inside and closed the door.
"Did I call you?"
"Oh..... no Mr. Kim but I brought food from the pantry," she handed the palabok trying to control her barely shaking hands.
"You brought this for me?"
"Yes Mr. Kim, sorry to trouble you," Amor bowed her head in embarrassment.
"Love me and do not ever leave me," is what her heart wants to tell him.
