CHAPTER 9

I slowly ate the feast in front of me. Well, if I die young today, I might as well die with a full stomach. I can't think of any ways now on how to escape this place. I tried my luck again and peek at the window and there I saw guards everywhere. Anyhow, I also cannot run away now since I don't have any money in me or whatsoever.

I missed Pha and Kit. I promised if I could just see them again, I will never neglect their love for me. I missed their nagging, their everything. I could cry now. I don't think they will be looking for me since Sunday is personal day for us. We agreed that if there is no emergency, we will stay clear of each other on a Sunday.

There is also a certain someone keeps popping out of my mind but I refused to acknowledge him. I just don't. but the thought of not seeing him and wasn't able to straight things out with him before I perished gave a bitter taste in my mouth.

I was told to be ready in an hour by dimple guy after he dragged almond guy out of the room. I still sent shivers down my spine the way almond guy smiled. I think it will haunt me to sleep each night. There is something about his smile that says he is not joking. But I really prayed to all the holy that his just messing with me.

He should just have messed with me, right? Why would the boss kill his savior? That doesn't make any sense. At all. Dimple guy also told me to take a shower and I did. There was a decent selection of shirts and pants in the walk-in closet, and I took the liberty of choosing something decent. If this is going to be my last day, at least I go out with the best OOTD.

As I rummaged through the closet, the grand prize winner is a long sleeve white shirt that I could roll the sleeves up to my elbow. I also choose a denim short pants and pick up a converse chuck taylor low cut shoes, also in white to match my outfit. My last nights' dress was discarded in the bathroom basket.

I've heard a knock and the door opening. I was expecting dimple guy but this time its signal guy. Signal guy has a mischievous look on him. A playful smirk and a dark skin. He looks fit. The same with all three of them I meet last night, they looked like they are all around my age. A year older at most.

"Ready?" – he asks in his smooth manly voice

"I guess so" -I answered. No emotion. I don't know what to feel anymore.

He took the lead and I just followed him quietly, if he didn't fetch me, I could have gotten lost in this huge mansion. My earlier fear was replaced with interest as we navigate the maze that they call a house. Wow this place is huge! I said internally. Even if I did manage to get out of that room, I don't think I can go far. I admitted bitterly. He brought me to a double door and gestured for me to follow.

I gasped when I saw what's behind the double door. This living room is like a place taking out straight of the freakin Buckingham Palace! There was a magnificent chandelier winking at me every time I move, the plush inviting couch elegantly situated in the middle of the room facing a huge entertainment set but before I could finish checking out the place and droll some more, a soft chuckle sent me straight to reality that I'm dying.

I look around to find the person who has an amused look in his face, maybe enjoying from my dumbfounded expression is the man that I saved last night. He looks weak and I don't understand why he insist on meeting me. Against my better judgement, I go to him directly and stood in front of him then I started checking him.

"How are you sir? You look not well so why are you not resting? – I said in a very stern voice. I just finished reprimanded the man and have to mentally slap myself. Why on earth I reprimanded someone who could just order to have me executed right here, right now? I really am stupid.

He just raised an amused brown at me and chuckled more. I really don't know but hearing him chuckle gives a warm feeling to heart. I just stared at him not knowing what to do. I look around and see 4 sets of eyes looking amusingly at me.

The 3 James Bonds are here, and another one who has a fair skin complexion with a serious look on his face but smiled when I look at him.

"Hello Beam, names' Art. We talk on the phone last night" – he said.
