"Miss Funtamuerte pwedeng pakibilisan mo?" Rinig ko ang sigaw ni Miss Granade mula sa kabilang side nitong pinto. Sa kwarto siya kase nag bihis at ako naman sa cr.

Yes na late kami ng gising. Buti nalang talaga na delay ng 1 hour yung event. Salamat kung sino man yung nag bigay ng malfunction sa speakers hehehe.

"Sandali lang po patapos na!" Sigaw ko pabalik. Matapos kong i zipper ang gown- yes gown pinadalhan kami ni Mr. Grimaldi ng susuotin namin sa event.

"Edi lumabas ka na jan! Ang bagal mo" Angal pa niya.

Pagkalabas ko ng cr ay dumiretso agad kay Miss Granade ang tingin ko. She's wearing a black long-sleeve mini dress with a vivid floral print matched with a light make up, red lip stick and a 4 inche heels in color black as well.

'Wow' i muttered under my breathe, she's gorgeous!

I noticed that she was staring at me too. I'm wearing an emerald green silk v-neck dress with spaghetti straps and a white 4 inche heels.

"L-let's go Miss?" I spoke breaking the silent. Inirapan niya lang ako at nauna nang lumabas ng hotel. Pero hindi siya masyadong slick kase nakita ko ang pamumuo ng pula sa kanyang mga pisngi.

I smirked mentally- wait bakit ba na feeling satisfied ako sa naging action niya?

Napailing nalang ako at sinundan siya palabas ng hotel.

I watch in awe as we enter the halls, this event is glamorous. The paintings it's magnificent! The roof is painted too! I have never seen such beautiful museum.

"Be on your best behavior Miss Funtamuerte, we can't risk giving Mr. Grimaldi a bad impression" Madiin na sabi sakin ni Miss Granade.

Tumango ako as a response kase busy pa ako sa pag mamangha ng mga paintings dito. Napakaganda talaga! Ewan ko kung museum pa ba to o castle na. Ang engrande eh gold pa yung design tapos marble ang flooring. Daig pa talaga ang bahay ng ni queen Elizabeth ha.

Naglakad papalayo si Miss Granade at sinunuod ko naman siya. Papalapit ito sa nag uusap na dalawang lalake.

"Oh there they are!" Annouce ng lalake nung nakarating na kami sa kanila. Ito na ata si Mr. Grimaldi. Infairness ha may kagwapuhan sya eme. Charot ayaw ko kaya maging kabit ew.

"Good afternoon Mr. Grimaldi" Bati ni ma'am.

"G-good afternoon sir- Mr. Grimaldi" Shocks?! Bat ka nautal self?! Miss Granade shot me a warning look kaya i composed myself.

"I assume she's Ylliana Funtamuerte? You didn't lie, she is beautiful" Saad ni Mr. Grimaldi na ikinagulat ko naman. Miss Granade thinks im beautiful?

I can feel my heartbeat starting to increase and my cheeks starting to redden but i just kept my cool and acted that I wasn't affected.

Bigla yatang uminit dito? Sino pumatay ng aircon??

I cleared my throat and spoke.

"Thank you for the kind words Mr. Grimaldi, I'm glad too finally meet you" I smiled sweetly.

"Let's take this conversation elsewhere shall we?" He suggested and we agreed with a nod.

We followed Mr. Grimaldi in his office.
We decided to get don to business as soon as we sat down.

"So Miss Funtamuerte, you won Harvard's Best Painting Of The Year right?" He asked.

"Yes Mr. Grimaldi" I answered politely. Truth be told parang lalabas na sa chest ko yung puso ko.

"I am really impressed with your painting skills. I have also seen all your paintings on social media, and my professional painter here, Lewes Johnson is awestrucked when he saw your paintings" He stated that gave a smile on my face.

"That's why Miss Funtamuerte, would you like to continue you're studies in painting here in London?" Mr. Johnson said, and my heart skipped a beat.

"Um Mr. Grimaldi that won't be necessary. She's going just great back in Harvard" What? Tiningnan ko si Miss Granade nang naka kunot noo. But she maintaned her stpic expression.

"Now now Miss Granade let the girl speak" Saad naman ni Mr. Grimaldi at tumingin saakin.

"I- um- this is a huge shock for me Mr. Grimaldi And Mr. Lewis. I won't deny it has been my dream to get in Johnson's Arts and Design Academy, but i also have a great experience and education back in Harvard" I stated and looked at them. They seem disappointed.

"But I'll think about it. How long does your offer stands?" Naka kunot noo kong tanong.

Lumitaw naman ang kasiyahan sa kanilang mata nung narinig nila yung sinabi ko.

"Forever Miss Funtamuerte! It would be our win if you come and study in my academy" Galak na saad ni Mr. Johnson.

We talked a little more about the details at pagkatapos naman ay naglibot libot muna kami sa museum bago bumalik sa hotel.

"Why did you give them hope?" Miss Granade said out of the blue.

"What do you mean po miss?" Nakakunot noo kong tanong sa kanya.

"About the offer to study here" Tipid niyang saad.

"Because i want to think about their offer, maybe someday i want to continue my studies here" Saad ko naman sa kanya. Her demanoir changed and i have a feeling that im the reason why.

Kinuha ko ang tingin ko mula sa aking phone at tiningnan ko siya. Her aura is dark. Napalunok nalang ako. Anong ginawa kong masama?

Hindi niya na ako pinansin at bumaba nalang papuntang dining area ng hotel.
What's her problem? Oh no..

Did she think that i want to study here because hindi ako kontento sa pagtuturo niya? Kumakabog ang dibdib ko habang iniisip ang worst case scenario na mangyayare pag kabalik niya.

An hour has passed at bumalik din si Miss Granade. Surprisingly hindi niya ako sinumbatan.

"Our flight is tomorrow morning, hindi na tayo mag tatagal dito, i don't want us to stay here any longer. Baka hindi ka na umalis." Aniya pero hindi ko medyo narinig ang huli niyang sinabi.

Tumango ako sa kanya at nag good night nadin. I didn't come down to eat kase while Mr. Grimaldi and Miss Granade are talking tin-reat naman ako ni Mr. Johnson ng food. He's surprisingly nice. He told me about the academy and what pro's can i have when i study there. I got intrigue kaya we exchanged numbers in case gusto kong mag aral don.

Miss Granade didn't spare me a glance as she go towards her bed and layed down.

I heaved a sigh.
'What an unexpected twist of event' i thought to myself as i drifted to sleep.
