3 CHAPTER 3 - ENTERTAINING THE SOUL

Continuation..................

"So you mean Althea save the day?" Jade ask.

"Yup"- Elaine's short reply popping the p.

"Wait.....wait tell me what happened after that incident, I want to know." - Jade, very much into Althea's back story.

"Okay......Okay hold your horses......jeez......here you go again......excited much? Will, after that incident your dad asks Althea to follow him. Althea, on the other hand, was hesitant….she's really in a hurry that time because she's having an appointment to a certain hospital where she works." - Elaine continued.

"Wait she work in the hospital? How come the TGC recruited her, knowing she already has a job, and I thought she's a fresh graduate? Now I'm really confused". -Jade in disbelief.

"Can you stop interrupting me? Jesus Christ Jade, how can I finished this story when you're keeping interrupting me?" - Elaine, a little bit irritated.

Before Jade could answer her, someone knocks on the door, Elaine stands up and open the door it was their order.

Elaine brings the food to the table and prepared it, after she prepared the food, Jade couldn't handle the crumble of her stomach and dig right in.

"Hungry much? "- Elaine, laughing at Jade.

A little bit agitated, Jade just looks at her and continues eating.

"Now continue" - Jade, with her mouth full.

"Okay.........hmmm.........where am I again? oh yes, will Jade, for your information Althea has an IQ of 350." Jade was shock knowing this.

" And as you know, at that time at her young age, Althea is already a heart and brain surgeon, an architect, an entrepreneur, a pilot, and an artist...........and adding to that long list of her achievements, sometimes she models either in ramp or commercial, internationally."- Elaine elaborated.

"Ow, that's why she's kind of familiar.......(how can she manage her time by all these professions she had in hand?) Jade thought to herself." - Jade.

"So to continue.............your dad forced Althea to talk to him for just a minute, Althea being a good person, kind and so many more, she accepted the invitation of your dad, either way, your dad doesn't take 'NO' for an answer. Mr. Tanchinco learned that Althea can speak 10 different languages, and she also mastered all the Filipino languages here in the Philippines, you know how amazing it is!? (Elaine beam) Mr. Tanchinco couldn't believe her accomplishments either; it's surreal to know a young person of this caliber. Without any qualms or what so ever your dad hired Althea right there right then. After a couple of months, your dad appointed Althea to be the Senior Architect for doing an amazing job she did in the London project she handles, remember that famous project we had in London? That no one could believe how the TGC come up with such a unique design? Its because of Althea". Finished Elaine, to her story.

"Now you can interrupt me." When she noticed that her best friend is unresponsive with her mouth agape.

"Really, she did that?" Amaze Jade, she couldn't believe it.

It was the time TGC become more known worldwide. And to top to that.....their company became the talk of the business world.

"Yes she did and so much more!" -Elaine boasted.

"How come I didn't know about this"? Jade questioned with her forehead cress.

"Because.......Ms. Tanchinco, you are too busy to notice your surrounding........and as I have known you, you're not interested in other peoples life, other than your own and your family.........owww...........wait, and also to your boyfriend, and speaking of 'your boyfriend' (mocking Elaine, making a finger quote) are you still together? What's his name again Dan? Danniel? Dean?" -Elaine enumerated.

Every time Jade introduces someone special to her, Elaine can't remember the names of the guys.......'How weird' (she thought).

Maybe because Jade always changing partners every now and then? Oh well, case close.

"It's David Elaine David!" - Jade exclaimed.

"David?..........hmmm, sorry I lost count of men you've dated (rolling eyes), you know Jade one of these days, you will find a person who will make you sane and put your foot in the ground mark my word". - Challenge Elaine with full of conviction.

"What do you mean Elaine?" - Hesitantly ask Jade.

"You know what I mean Jade". - Elaine with sarcasm.

Jade just rolled her eyes, they already finished their dinner, Elaine just heated the leftover they had at lunchtime since they are both tired to go out and jade notice its already dark.

They have been talking about Althea the whole day. She knows what Elaine means......Jade is the kind of woman that easily gets bored to a relationship, the very long she committed was one month, yup a month.

She doesn't know what was missing from her relationship, the men she dated were rich not just rich but super-duper rich, incredibly handsome, intelligent, and gentlemen but still, something is missing, she doesn't know what it is.

"It's already late? I didn't notice it..............you can go home now Elaine, Ill just finished reviewing these documents then I will go." - Jade rubbing her tired eyes and yawning.

"Are you sure Jade? I can stay, I'll help you with that......you know, sorting out the papers? I don't mind at all." - Elaine with her concerned look.

"It's really okay Elaine, nothing I can't handle, it's two more pages left, I can manage. Thank you by the way." - Jade with an appreciative tone.

"You are welcome Jade, so I will go ahead, see you tomorrow then". Elaine stands up, and before she reached the door she called Jade's attention, who is now back to the papers in hand.

"Jade? Take it easy okay? Everything will be fine and especially Althea is with us." - Elaine assures, with a smile and a confident tone.

At the mention of Althea's name, instantly Jade's head looks up from the paper she reading to her best friend's face with a questioning look.

"You don't know? That your dad was asking for help from Althea as well? Even though this is not her concern. That's why she's at the meeting a while ago.

With her ability Jade, this is just a piece of cake for her, this problem will be resolve in no time so relax okay? Bye Jade". Before Jade could respond,

Elaine already closed the door.

Still puzzled and confused Jade stand up from the couch and fixed her things, it’s already 10 pm and she really feels tired, exhausted, and hungry again.

Owh......well, she can't do anything anymore today, she will continue this tomorrow.
