CHAPTER ELEVEN
"THANK YOU," Wynter said when Charles entered her office.
"You're my best friend, Wyn. Syempre p-protektahan ko ang pamilya mo hangga't kaya ko," he replied as he sat down on the visitor's chair.
Wynter just hummed and continued reading and analyzing the important documents piled on her desk. "But humor me, how did you know where he was?" Wynter's cold and strict voice sent shivers to his spine.
"As I told you yesterday, I had a meeting with the other reckless groups in that club. Then I saw your brother heading towards a VIP room guarded by heavily armed men. I was well aware of your brother's innocence towards that kind of life so I made sure to put a tiny microphone on a tray that was delivered to that room, and voila, I guessed right about those men," Charles lied flawlessly that even Wynter believed it.
Wynter sighed and settled the papers on her desk before looking at her best friend. "At least we now know that they won't hurt my brother anymore."
Yeah, now he'll be safe. "Anyways, hanggang kailan ka rito sa Pinas?" Charles changed the topic.
"For as long as I can settle all this." Wynter gestured to her stacks of folders that needed to be signed. "So more or less, a month."
"Well, those two have to come back to Thailand by the end of the week. May klase pa si Narae at may trabaho naman si Anurak."
"And you? Anong pagkakaabalahan mo?" Wynter went back to signing the documents.
Charles stood up. "Clean up, I guess. Dad left a list of criminals who committed unspeakable crimes."
Wynter smirked. "Let me guess, the government could no longer handle them."
Charles put his hands in his pockets before he walked towards the door. "What can I say? They need us so badly." He chuckled.
"Dom." Charles stopped walking but didn't turn. "I'm thankful that you saved him, but my decision stays the same. Coincidentally or not, stay away from my brother. I believe you respect our friendship."
"I do respect it, Wyn. And don't worry, I don't wanna be associated with him in any way," he assured her before leaving her office. I hope I wasn't lying.
WEEKS PASSED at ni isang text o paramdam mula kay Charles ay wala siyang nakuha. Angelo wanted to clarify what happened between them that night in Wynter's condo, pero mukhang walang planong makipagkita sa kanya ang binata and it's pissing him off.
Kahapon lang ay nakabalik na silang tatlo sa Thailand para makabalik sa LUST DAWN at sa mga trabaho nila. Unfortunately, Charles didn't join them, at wala silang balita kung nasaan ito.
Angelo's the type of person that will always smile at anyone. Halos pareho ang ugali niya at nila Narae at Anurak. And speaking of those two, kahit ang mga ito ay walang balita mula sa matalik nilang kaibigan, but unlike him, those weren't worried as hell.
Nangyari na rin ito noon kaya naman hindi na rin sila nag-aalala ng lubos. It's always the same thing, mawawala si Charles ng ilang linggo, max would be a month, at ang rason nito ay dahil sa business nila.
Angelo wanted to think it that way kaya lang hindi niya maiwasang mag-alala sa binata. Is it really business or he already has someone? Napailing na lang si Angelo. Ano naman kung meron na itong kasintahan, it's not like may namamagitan sa kanila.
He let out a deep sigh and stared at nothing. Ilang sandali lang ay naramdaman niyang niyuyugyog siya. He blinked multiple times before looking at the woman in front of him.
