Chapter 26 *Empire Holdings*

Chapter 26

(Argus' PoV)

''Akala ko ba hindi ka interesadong umattend?"asked Bernard while driving. We are now heading to one of the prestigous Hotel owns by Empire Holdings where their anniversary is being held.

"Di ba sabi mo kahapon you were just wasting your time sa pagpunta sa mga ganun?"  He laughed then he check his looks at rearview mirror.
"For sure madaming chicks doon"

"I read some magazine about that event, take note couz,  not only the business tycoons will be there but also some of the biggest celebrities."

I just ignored his nonsense and focused my attention on the road. Bakit ba ang daldal ng lalaking 'to?

"Anyway why the sudden changed of mind couz?"

I frowned at him "do I need to explain myself to you Satillan?"

"Im just aski- "

"STOP THE CAR!!!" I shouted while looking intensely at the other side of the road

*schreeching sound*

"Hey! Where are you going Argus??" Narinig ko pang tanong niya bago ako tuluyang makababa ng kotse.

I feel my heart is beating too fast. And I could feel my trembling hands

I walk as fast as I could.

I couldn't be wrong!! It's her!!

It's  really her!!!

She's now starting to walk across the road.

My jaw trembled and I  felt tears rising to my eyes. Oh god!! I've finally found you!!
"Laerie!!! " I call her name when Im about a few steps away from her.

She turned around to looked at me and she uttered a wordless cry of despair.

Then I was stunned  when a speeding car suddenly occurs out of nowhere "LAERIEEE NOOO!!!" and directly hit her.

"NOOOO!!!"

I suddenly woke up in a sweat in the middle of night. Feeling terrified trying to cath my breath.

It seems vivid and real!

It's a nightmare that haunted me and nothing more.
But a nightmare of the most extraordinary verisimilitude and poetical power.

"D*mn!!!!" I bursted out in anger.

The sights, sounds and even smell are enough to spark a memory of the living nightmare and cause anguish.

"Aaaahhhhh" I quickly grabbed a bottle of wine on my bedside table and throw it against the wall "f*ck this life!"

I grasped my hair "where the hell are you Laerie??" I almost whispered to myself.

I miss how her voice bugging the hell out of me. Her genuine laugh that echoes on my mind.

With every stupid things she say or do , I always end up smiling.
And now. . Smiling is not my thing anymore.

I had long realized that I could not forget Laerie. Still I had tried to be content and not to remember too much but there's no way on earth that I could forget her!

''Oh, akala ko ba nighlife? Bakit ngayon kayo nagkita-kita ng umaga at dito pa sa bakedshop ko?" I asked them. Kagabi palang kasi they had this planned to have a boy's night out this sunday.
