Chapter 48 I can see you
Lilah have been exhausted from all the daliy drama. She seated in her living room gulping up bottles of whiskey wine.
She was laying lifelessly on the living room floor with bottles of whiskey scattered messy on the glass table.. she looks awful and terrible!
Today have been a long day and also a sad day fo her,
John known she was the traitor and her boss is dead due to her stupidity. What more can happen that would be worse than this... She would have determined on the thought of going to a bar or something but remember what if she gets drunk and didn't find her way home, and the same time fall into the arms of some idiots waiting to fuck any hopeless girl.
She chose to be home drunk queen, in fact no idiot can come into her house and clasped on her..
She thrust up the whiskey into her mouth, she didn't have any one to pour her heart to. Besides, the only one she had was Rosary, and she isn't here with her.
She could have call Rosary and tell her what happens but she hold back,. That might frighten her. She wants her friend to live the life of no violence and full of peace.
At one second, she thought of giving her a call at least to hear to her sweet voice. Them do chat and all but it have be long she had heard her sweet tiny voice.
She staggered pick up her cell phone from the table top where she laid hopelessly on the floor.
She dialed her number..
Within five minutes of ringing. Rosary was watching the TV with her brother Jack, laughing and giggling to the funny thing the animes was doing. The first call rings and she didn't pick it. The volume of the TV was too loud for her not to hear the ringing of her phone.. Mr Steve, who was roaming in the room, saw her phone ringing..
"Miss Rosary, you have a call" Steve said and immediately she picks up the call when she saw the caller name.
"Lilah!" She felt extremely happy to hear her voice..
"Hello Lilah" she exclaimed excitable
Lilah sorbed from the too much drinks. "Hi Rosary, what's up"
Rosary felt something was strange about the way she speaks. Hurriedly, she asked" are you alright Lilah?" She can suspect there's something wrong..
But Lilah who is a smart girl when it comes to twist of issues. Quietly change the topic from herself direct to her...
"What's wrong? I'm fucking fine and thing are going well. Just miss your big head. Now tell me, how was life in Canada and how are you coping with the new environment. Have any cute man come to asked you out for a date?"
Too much questions at the same time. She wonder how come Lilah become so wordy. She'd talk sometime but not this too wordy type!
"Lilah, don't you think you have to slow down with all this questions? It can of too many at a time"
Lilah roll her eyes in a boredom. "Alright, alright. Now what's the new juice. You just can't stays in Canada and haven't planned what to do with your life"
Rosary sighed. Indeed it have been some few days in Canada, and she haven't thought of anything to do yet. She still wants to get familiar with the country before deciding what to do next.... It' not by rushing into thing. She want it slowly and steady...
"You don't have to think about that, When I am fully ready I would let you know about my plans" ...
"Yeah, that good, at least my hand work would be put to waste. Hope Steve is taking good care of you and Jack?"
" Of course, he's the best in that aspect. It all you Lilah . You have help me a lot and I don't know how to thank you" her eyes fall on Steve who was standing beside the couch with a smile on his face. He was helping the girl to get familiar with the new surrounding before he finally leaves.
" You don't have to, what are friends for? "
Rosary was still a bit worries about Lilah life. Them have been friends for years now. And she knew nothing about her parents or who she really is.. Anytime she bought up that issues to get know her best friend background, Lilah always shut her up and change the topic..
" So, Lilah, "
"Yes...." Her voice sounds a bit spooky because of the effects of the drinks.
" Are you sure, you're okay? Like really okay? If you have anything you can talk to me"
Lilah gulped up the bottle of the whiskey before answered... Lilah knew where Rosary was heading to. She isn't ready for this. She can't talk about her background to anyone. It's better for it to be a secret forever than bringing back the past pains to her.....
"Oh! I need to get something done in the office. Call you later"
She didn't wait for Rosary to said goodbye. She just hung up the call before Rosary asked unnecessary questions..
She reclines her head on the couch edge, feeling extremely exhausted. This day was marked one of her bad days. But what more can happen.
Then, she heard her phone sounds, rang.
It must be Rosary calling back since she didn't give her that chance to say goodbye..
The phone rang, and rang again. It have rings twice, she didn't bother to pick it up. With the third rings. She picks up.....
"Hello Rosary? I kind of busy now, can't I call you back later?"
"Hello Miss Lilah" the voice was cold and calm.
She felt like a her ghost have left her body, who the hell is this calling. The voice do sounds familiar to her....
" Hello? " She shuddered, trying not to sound frighten.
" My beautiful pearl" the emitting voice compliment. Lilah was still trying to figure out who this unknown voice belongs to and where have she see the caller before..
" I can see you're lost my pearl. What can I say. I love thing unexpectedly and unawareness. It gives the gloomily beauty. I would love to see you again in person Miss Lilah?" Charles said with hints of sarcasm. There's no place for the girl to run and hide again. He can see her and even spot what she was wearing, and how awful she looks while gulping in those whiskey bottles...
With a drastically voice " I can see you"
His word play slowly into her ears, make her shrivers just by that statement. Can he really seen her? Frightening, Lilah was awake from her staggered state as she can feel herself back. She looked around her living room and was sure she was the one in. What the fuck this man was saying!
"Who the fuck are you!"
