Building The Unsure (Glow-Up Series #2)

35

"Hindi po ba muna tayo kakain ma'am?" I snapped out of my thoughts when my driver speaks, I look at the time and realized it's already 5 in the morning. 

"Nasaan na po tayo?" I asked, looking around and trying to recognize the road. 

"San Pablo na po tayo ma'am." he replied, I slowly nod and sat up straight. 

"Drive through nalang tayo kuya, any fast food will do." I said, I saw my driver nod before I once again slouched down on my chair. My driver is probably hungry already and I'm too occupied with my thoughts that I didn't noticed the time. 

We took the drive through to the fast food chain we saw which is McDonald's, I ordered a breakfast meal for my driver while I just got myself a McFlurry since Theo gave me food for breakfast. We parked by the parking where we ate our breakfast. I'm staring at nowhere, mind still blank but feels crowded at the same time. When my driver finished eating, we head back on the road while I still eat at the back. 

By 6AM, we arrived at Manila, I asked the driver to stop by a gasoline station first since I need to use the restroom and I need to message or call Sam first. 

"Hello? We're here in Manila na, just stopped by a gasoline station, are you fully awake and functioning now?" I asked Sam, I'm still outside the can and taking a fresh air since I am starting to feel suffocated inside the van. 

Sam chuckled, [Yes, I already did, I just finished washing the dishes I used for breakfast. Ikaw ba? Kumain kana? I can cook for you if you want.] he ask and I shake my head. 

"I already ate, we will be there in less than 10 minutes." I said and he hum, 

[Sure, sure, I'll be waiting by the lobby.] he said and I just hum as response before ending the call. 

"Kuya, lets go na." I called our driver who's also taking a fresh air, we went inside the van and I told my driver the direction for the condominium building. In less than 10 minutes, we're already in front of the building and I saw Sam stand up from a sofa and went out the building. 

"Hey, good morning." He immediately greet me the moment I step out of the van. 

"Good morning," I replied while trying to get my bag from my chair, 

"I'll get that for you," he said and reach out for the bag, I glared at him as he handed me the bag. 

"Thank you," I grumpily said before walking pass by him and entering the building. 

I crossed my arm and watch him and my driver to bring the luggage inside. I slightly tap my feet on the tiled floor while my arms are crossed and watch the two of them. 

"We need more help from the other staff of the building, ang dami mo dala na gamit." he said when he stopped in front of me, holding two humongous luggage on both hands. 

"Then let's call for help." I said and faced the receptionist by the counter. 

"Good morning miss, I'd like to ask for assistance, we need to get my things by our unit." I told the lady at the receptionist, she nodded and smiled before calling someone by the telephone and soon, 2 men helped my driver to get my other luggage form the van. 

"Tired?" I look at Sam who's beside me and leaning by the counter, 

I shake my head, "Not really, slight but I don't feel so tired." I replied and he nods, looking at front, watching the staffs get my things inside.
