10:20 AM - Channel 24K
Two girls found their friend, Sarah Guzman, dead in her apartment this morning. The two girls decided to check on Sarah because they lost track of her at her birthday party last night. Some of us are wondering if this could be the work of the most dangerous human in our City that escaped last night in jail.
Police immediately called to the scene. Here at channel 24K we wish Abby's family and relatives all the best during this difficult time.
Wait,is this what Mr. Sherlock saying lately? Hays! Why this is the news that came out? I want to take a rest for now, tomorrow is a worst day!
I messed up my hair, I gasped in annoyance and collapsed sitting on the sofa. I reach my phone under the coffee table and dial Veronica's phone number.
"Hello, Veronica?"
[Trexie, what's up?]
"I am going to be crazy today,"
[What? Why? Where are you?]
"I'm at home, can you go here?"
[Not now, Trexie I am too busy.]
"Well, I didn't expect that."
[I am sorry, Trexie. By the way, did you watch the news? About the billionaire's maid?]
"Yeah, we are the one who will investigate on that crime."
[We? Are you with someone who will investigate too?]
"Yeah,"
[That is cool! Tell me, who is that.]
"Arg, I will call you later."
I cut the conversation after she will know who actually is it. But, now Veronica knows that I have someone with me to investigate, she will never stop asking his name.
I just gasped and already stressed out.
Why do I need to encounter this situation?
I was losing all hope of avoiding my ex- boyfriend.
What I am going to do? This is my dream and I don't want to lose it but I don't want to be with him again, for the second time! Someone help me out!
I stand up and reach the remote. I switch it into a karaoke, my old habits that I am doing when I am alone. Singing is one of my stress reliever.
I went into the kitchen to get the red Sangria that I made, a minutes ago.
Sangria is a typical beverage from Portugal and Spain that has a two types of recipes; the red Sangria and the white Sangria. The Red Sangria is the best for me.
I put in the wine glass the red sangria, and drank it softly.
The loud music enveloped my house. I don't care if there is someone gets angry, the important thing is to somehow get rid of my annoyance right now.
One of my favorite song already played.
"agham!" Clearing my throat. I arranged to sit down, and set the wine glass down on the coffee table.
"Oh-oh
Mmm
Well I wonder could it be
When I was dreaming 'bout you baby, you were dreaming..."
"You know what, I feel sorry for those ladies that joining to the man that nothing known, but just to maintain his form."
" Excuse me, are you pointing me?"
Neil suppressed the annoyance that enveloped him in the present and trying to calmed himself. He was in front of a flower shop, where Yvan was also there- the mortal he hated.
"Oh, is it obvious?" He replied sarcastically.
"Not really,"
"If so, can you leave the lane? because you are blocking it." He said raising his eyebrows and smile like crazy.
" Am I? or you are just blind to not see that the floor was to wide for you to pass." he laughed as he pointed his hand at the wide passage.
Some people are watching us. Well, he can't bring me down easily. To the point that I am too confident and driving Yvan, crazy. He's like a gay that there is nothing can do, but just to say some disappointing words, because I am too numb when it comes to words.
" My apology, you look big for me, that is why I did not see that the passage is wide." He replied.
I shook my head and lough sarcastically. " I am just saying that.." I step closer and whisper to him.
"You are one hundred percent, dumb. And that dumbest way of you, will bring you die."
" How dare-
I don't want to make a such scene so I walk fast outside the shop. There is more something important to do, than to fight with him.
The music was too loud. Seems to have no neighbors, ah!
I parked in front of her house. I picked up the bouquet of flowers that was in the passenger seat and the box of Gino's Brick Oven Pizza that I bought from Quezon City.
I was hesitant to ring the bell or go straight in but seems no one inside the house, so I get inside and forget the hesitation.
"What the heck? What was actually happened here? It was a totally messed up!"
I put my things on the table.
" Seriously, I am going to clean this?!" I deeply sigh and speechless.
"I just want celebrate for a new job not done and also, for the new job on going with her. I did do anything but there is already a Karma?" My complaint.
Oh, maybe she knows I am going to be there. She trying to fool my day, already!
I accept her challenge. I cleaned up the things that she made.
Do you think you bring me down, huh? Such an easy way!
Hmm, what is that smell? Is that adobo? I really miss this smell, though.
I stand while following the smell.I was able to swallow some saliva because of its great aroma and taste. This smell... This smell, it is familiar!
I went into the kitchen where the smells came from. I frown as I look to guy that I can't figure out who it is. He was busy preparing food. He was smiling and too confident to what he cooked.
My heart beat is beating so fast. My knee are weak, my body was shaking and gradually felt dizzy and weak. I touch my head while closing my eyes.
