MILLER SKYE'S POV


I read her yesterday's text over and over again as I muttered a curse. "You were saying, mate?" Tanong ni Ace sa akin. I glanced around the faces of the lawyers around me. Nakalimutan kong nasa kalagitnaan pala kami ng conference. 



"Sorry, I have to take this call." I get up from my seat and take the phone with me. "Please, carry on without me." Pagkalabas ko ng conference room, mabilis kong tinawagan ang number ni Sally.



What did Ynez do to her?



"Goddammit. Pick up the phone." I tried reaching her twice, but she's not answering. I'm out of town and she hasn't picked up the phone since yesterday. 



What tricks did Ynez do that made Sally flare up like this?



Damn it. She shouldn't have messed with her like that.



What do you expect, Miller? Now that Ynez is back, your chance at a peaceful life is gone with the blasted wind. She's back stronger like a hurricane, and I am damn sure she's going to cause a lot of damage.



Sally's the first attack. Fuck it.



Bumukas ang pinto ng conference room at nagsilabasan doon ang mga nagtipon na lawyers na halatang gutom na rin mula sa dalawang oras na meeting. "Hey, man." Tawag sa akin ni Ace. "Sinong tinawagan mo? Saan tayo kakain?"



Hinarap ko siya pagkabulsa ko ng phone. "I'll head back to Manila now. I have something urgent."



"Urgent? Come on, you don't have to be worried about your girl." Hinabol niya ako sa paglalakad. "Honestly, mate? You cannot stop Ynez when if she wanted to confront your new girl. Considering the long time you guys had--"



"Stop talking." I doubled up my pace.
