Israel
Yow, sis. You home yet?
Everleigh
Yes, kuya. Kararating ko lang, actually.
Have you talked to Eoin?
Israel
Yeah, about that... bad news.
I fired the fucker.
Everleigh
What? You promised, kuya!
Sabi mo, warning lang muna.
Israel
I know. I'm sorry I didn't do things as planned. Alam ko namang ayaw mong may taong mawawalan ng trabaho dahil sa'yo.
Israel is typing...
Actually, no. I'm not sorry. From what I heard, Eoin's a good employee, and Axis could use a guy like him. But I don't want him to be around you.
Everleigh
What do you mean?
Israel
You should have heard the guy talk about you! I think he's obsessed with you, Leigh. I'm your brother, and although I want exemplary people in the company, I care about your safety more.
Everleigh
Oh. Is he really that creepy?
Israel
Yes! Hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko sa gagong 'yon. I can't believe we hired a sicko like him.
Israel is typing...
Actually, I don't remember interviewing him, so it's either your Ate Genie or Ate Sim who conducted his final interview. Kaya siguro nakalusot.
Everleigh
I can imagine. He's really charming, you know?
Israel
Yeah, well... Most raging narcissists are, and I think he's one. May contact ka ba sa lalaking 'yon? Perhaps on social media?
Everleigh
We're friends on Facebook, but that's about it.
Israel
You didn't give him your mobile number or address?
Everleigh
No, of course not.
Israel
Good. Better block him on Facebook, then.
I wouldn't put it past him to stalk you.
Everleigh
Okay. Thanks for looking out for me, kuya.
I really appreciate it.
Israel
No worries. You take care, alright?
I'll see you at work tomorrow. 😁
Everleigh
See you, kuya. 😊

Short StoryEverleigh "Leigh" van Acker always thought of herself as a strong, independent woman. She's perfectly okay with being alone - flirting with guys here and there, but never really committing herself to a relationship. Although sometimes, she must admi...
