"I know you and tita's relationship" Jing said until they arrived at her apartment, "you can sleep at Stella's bedroom tonight kasi madumi pa yung guest room eh" Jing said while helping Celestine with her luggage
Celestine looked around the room and she'll admit it's not that big and spacious, the bed is small and the window is a little bit rusty and squeaky, "you'll survive a night Celestine don't worry" she said to herself while laying on her bed
She slept while being covered in comforter because of a cold winter, she'll admit jing is not that rich and popular compare to her, but she treated jing like an older sister, Jing is Greggy's scholar in Cambridge university, and right now jing is a nurse
