Somehow Unique

Torin pressed the doorbell of Zach's unit. He started getting worried because Zach was also not answering his calls.

After he pressed the doorbell for the third time he looked at the camera with crumpled face and said, "Bro! Let me in! The heck, why are you not answering your phone? If you don't open this in a minute, I'm gonna call security for force opening..."

That instant the door made a click sound, indicating it was already opened. Torin quickly went inside and found Zach sitting in the living room, watching TVthe television.

"What's your problem, Torin, bugging me at this time of the day!" Zach hissed as he changed the channels on the TV with his serene expression.

'Maybe, he has already seenaw the news,' Torin thought with hesitation as he tried to read Zach's movements and facial expressions.

Then, he saw Zach's mobile phone beside him and his brow arched and said, "Geez, you were intentionally not picking up my calls?"

Zach let out a long, deep sigh and said, "Yes because I know you will just start on blabbing out nonsense. Let me just rest, will you?"

Torin walked towards Zach and sat beside him.

So, Zach already knew that she would soon come back. It's been three years if his count was correct since that woman left, but Zach seemed to be affected just by that simple news because he looked out of himself.

"Damn, bro… What's with this ambiance. Cheer up, will you! Geez… why don't you come with me and Cielo? I've received four VIP cards to the most expensive bar and they just opened a branch around our area. I can bring three people, free of charge, drink all we can, so that's free spot is for you and Cielo. I wonder who's the other one I should bring?" Torin said as he searched the address book on his mobile phone.

"I will stay at home, Torin. I don't feel like going out." Zach replied as he kept on changing the channels on the television.

Torin made a wash up his face gesture with his palm. made a wash up his face gesture with his palm.

"And you keep saying you already moved on, bro? I don't think so because of the look on your face now! Imagine how worse you can be once you meet her somehow?" Torin deliberately said with an arched brow.

"Don't get too exaggerated, Torin. I really want to rest, besides, you know going to a bar and having a night out is not my thing. If you want, grab a drink at my mini bar instead. I'll let you open anything you want there." Zach answered expressionlessly.

Torin stood up and shook his head as he looked at Zach.

"Alright, I will leave this here in case you change your mind. I've heard that bar is very cool that's why it's opening branches everywhere. Make sure you bring this card because they don't allow just anyone to enter. That's a VIP card you know." Torin proudly uttered.

Zach inhaled and exhaled as he looked at the card Torin left on his table.

'Maybe, Torin is right. I should grab a drink and go out to have a social life somehow.' He mused although he was still hesitant since it's not like him.

But seeing her and knowing she would be back, gave him that stabbing and hurtful feeling. It's not because he still loved her because that was absolutely impossible. But the resentment in his heart remained. He had given his all for her, his whole heart that's why he was so devastated on how everything turned out to be.

He stared at the card for a long while… balancing out what Torin said.

......….

John's jaw dropped as he looked at their Miss who was walking towards them.

"Lad, close your mouth or you'll get another flying kick from her soon." Jim murmured.

"Geez, she shouldn't wear too revealing clothes if she doesn't want getting stared at by others. Look at her, Senior… Even a statue will drool on that look!" John complained but quickly pursed his lips and opened the door of the van for her.

Keira stopped at his side and whispered, "Good job, John. I'll give you an extra bonus once I see Zach there. But I will deduct 30% because I'm sure you reported everything to my dad."

John scratched his head and was left with a conflicted expression. Young Miss was so sharp on things, like what Field Marshall Chan had oriented to him and same with Senior Jim but what could he do? Field Marshall Chan instructed them both to report everything.

Jim sighed, he was scared of making Miss Keira getting pissed off because she's really terrifying when she was irritated. Her way to get back was so awful, not that you would get hurt from her or anything worse but her ways of torturing people that had pissed her off were somehow unique.

Miss Keira tapped his shoulder, so he turned and looked at her. She winked at him and said, "That's okay, John. I did not instruct you to keep it a secret, so you're good. Now, move your ass and go back to your seat."
