"Lloyd, go to the party later. I no longer want you bailing out when it comes to your responsibilities." Sarah called Lloyd early in the morning.

"Yes Sarah." Lloyd answered.

"Before you were so eager to work. I no longer need to remind you of your schedule. What's happening to you Lloyd? Everything went downhill ever since you came back. I thought you love what you are doing? What happened to the Lloyd Flores I knew and everybody loved?"

"Please Sarah."

"Just go later okay?"

A month has already passed ever since I woke up that morning remembering nothing about whom I am or where I came from. I still don't remember a lot from my past. But I love my present life. I'm still working in Azalea's. I also have a new look recommended by Ms. Carina. My long hair is gone, well not really gone but shortened a bit and with side-swept bangs.

Well when it comes to Chrome..

"No Chrome. Don't ever think about that. As I said, I just don't want to be a burden to you anymore. And I don't want it to be awkward for you if you bring home your future girlfriend here in your house."

"But my future girlfriend is already living in this house." Chrome said then smiled.

That also made me smile a bit.

"Theia, I think that possibly maybe I'm falling for you. Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you."

"Chrome, that a song." I joked.

"But Theia, seriously. I think I'm falling for you. I know we've just met. I know I don't know you too well, well you too you don't know yourself well either. I'm not forcing you to love me back. All I'm asking from you is to just let me love you."

I still left and rented the apartment. I don't know. I just think things would get complicated if I stayed there. But Chrome and I, still get together and hang out. Let's just say Chrome is really eager.

"Where's that boyfriend of yours? He's not taking you to lunch?" asked Joan, a senior stylist.

"No. He has a shoot today and we're just dating. You know getting to know each other and stuff." I answered.

"It's the same thing. Be careful though. Who ever he is, is hot lots of girls would try to steal him from you."

"Joan!"

We started laughing.

"What does he do anyway?" Joan asked.

"He's a fashion photographer."

"That means he's around beautiful models a lot."

"Joan, stop it!"

"What a boring party. Let's go Lloyd." Deanna said.

"Stop it Deanna. We just got here. Don't be so killjoy. And Sarah would scold me again if I don't stay here." Lloyd said to Deanna.

"What are you 6?"

"I said stop it Deanna."

"They're right. Pagkabalik mo nga sa London nawalan ka na nga ng kwenta. Diyan ka na nga."

"I thought you're looking for your girlfriend. Who was that?" Benina said.

"Benina! You again. Fancy meeting you here." Lloyd said.

"Fancy meeting you here. You didn't tell me you are a big star here."

"You didn't tell me you are a famous model."

"Hehe. So who was that? The female dog you are partnered with slash pretend girlfriend? Well, I did my research."

Lloyd started to laugh.

"Don't mind her. So have you found your girlfriend?"

"Unfortunately, no. I already hired a P.I. but still nothing."

"As I said, you'll find her. I can feel it. As for tonight, you should have fun. And also fix your tie. Wait. Let me fix it for you. There." Benina said as she fixes Lloyd's tie.

"Thanks." Lloyd blushes a little.

"Did you just blushed? Just joking. Man! You still look awful. You need a stylist. "

"My girlfriend used to be my stylist back then but you know I'm still looking for her."

"Poor guy. If I wasn't a model, I would volunteer to be your stylist but modeling is my first love. Don't worry. I have a friend who is a stylist. She's coming here from London together with my childhood friend. She can be your stylist. At least temporarily."

"No. It's too much."

"Don't mind it. I just like helping people."
