Lost Memory by Jacqueline Cortez

Chapter Twenty-Four: Rosaline

It all started when I got that one call.

January 3rd, 2021

          "Hello, This is Rosaline Palay, owner of Skies, how may I help you?"

          "Hello, This is Jeong-Jin Park of Park Group. I am Alejandro's father." Why is Alejandro's father calling me? "I am calling because I heard you want your company to go international and I can help you do that," He pauses, "There is a catch...You have to find out information about Gwen" Gwen?

          "What type of information?" I asked, confused.

          "Everything. What she does during the day. What she likes to do. Who she likes. Her goals in life. Her life in general." I think about it for a second. I know Gwen is supposedly my best friend. But the truth is I don't like her at all. I would rather have a long-term company than a long-term friend. I only became friends with her because I wanted to be close with Ross. Her friendship means nothing to me.

          "Yes, sir"

          "I am counting on you"

          "I will make sure it happens"

          "You are sure? You can betray your best friend?"

          "Yes, sir, do not worry"

          "Look through her things, her closets, her paper, clothes, and if she has a diary"

          "Yes, I will make sure I can do it"

          "I will pay you 5 million dollars for each detail you find and slowly your company will go international with my help so don't worry about that part"

          "When do you want me to start?"

          "Now"

          "Ok, sir anything else?

          "No. Thank you and Goodbye." Conceited guy. I am only doing this for the money. I never knew I would do this to Gwen but I felt as if I had to do something for myself for a change. The next few days after that I try to look for things but I can't find anything but one day I find a little secret place under Gwen's bed with a little book. I open the book and it has 'logs.' She would have each one numbered. I read the one I open to.

Today I was not feeling well. I don't know what it is but when I am with Alejandro I get energy taken. I am not sure what it is. Now that I think about it. It's been happening since I met him. Our eyes glow and it is weird like we have some sort of connection. It's as if we have known each other for a long time. I have to find out more. Maybe if I travel to the past but if I do that I hurt other people like I did Bo-A. I have the future. Maybe I can find something there...
