Chapter four: Crowning

I was patiently sitting in Saya's room, hinihintay ko yung ibang sasabihin niya tungkol sa pinasok kong agent kineme na hindi ko naman alam. 

My phone lit up so I checked that notification, it was from Instagram. 

It is a tagged post, from Cassian.

Probably the last time I'm going to post something about you. Actually every post I have was you, only you with me. I never post anything on social media, but I want to show the world that you are mine. Sadly, we just ended. I really love you, and I will always do. But I have to fix myself in order for you to be proud of me. For now, I will forget you.

I hope you forget me too, baby. Kahit ganyan ka, I will always be proud of you no matter what. 

"Is that Cassian?" Biglang sumulpot si Saya sa likod ko. 

I turned off my phone before facing her. 

"Yeah," tipid na sagot ko.

"Di mo na kailangan itago, Vesper. I know that you two broke up, but there is still some lingering feelings towards each other." Tinabihan niya ako. "Tell me that I'm wrong, honey," Inipit niya ang buhok na humaharang sa mukha ko sa tenga ko. 

I smiled bitterly, "Sad to say that you are right." Umiwas ako ng tingin. 

"Come on, up." Hinila niya ako pataas. 

"What?" 

"You have to go out there, the Crowning will begin in 5 minutes, Vesper."

Nangunot ang noo ko, crowning? 

Bago pa ako makapagtanong nahila na ako sa ibang direksyon ni Saya. Kanina pa tong babaeng to ah, lagi niya nalang ako hinihila kaliwa't kanan. 

"Let us all settle down, and be prepared for the crowning." Sabi ng isang lalaki malapit sa mic, ano yan emcee? 

I was standing beside many agents for about 10 more minutes before my name was called. 

"May we call on Ravenna Vesper Hendrix," sumunod naman ako at umakyat sa stage. 

"And her partner Enzo Okazaki," lumabas si Enzo sa kwarto or let's say office niya with his devilish smirk. Umiling nalang ako. 

"Boo! You guys just met her earlier and she already has a promotion?" 

"She's pretty."

"She's hot dude." 

"I'm hotter, bitch." 

"I bet she doesn't know how to pick up a gun, or even defend herself." 

I smirked, maraming basher sa akin. Not all of them know me. 

"Excuse me, uh can you give them a background check of Ravenna?" Enzo told the emcee and gave a flashdrive. 

Ay wow, may presentation na kaagad?

First slide was my name and a picture holding a gun. 

The next slide was just a picture of me in my leather outfit with Kaede, and Hailey. 

"Ravenna Vesper Hendrix, the heiress of the Hendrix Mafia Corporation.  Also known as HMC. She is also the FLHMC, the female leader rather. She was one of them, their group consisting of six members including her. Their team was originally 3 and the other 2 is also famous in their home country, Philippines."
