Crown Series #1: The Dark Era of Diadem

Part 2: Chapter 113

Kinabukasan ay naghihintay kami sa lobby dahil na nga rin may hinihintay pa kaming dumating. Iyong sinabi ni Pickett na pasasamahin sa amin.

Halos sampung minuto na kaming naghihintay at medyo nakakaramdam na ako ng inis. Sinabihan ko pa naman siya na agahan dahil ayokong mahuli sa appointment na meron kami ngayon. Mahalaga ang oras namin dahil naghahabol kami sa araw.

"Let's go," aya ko sa kanila at tumayo na.

"But Miss, are we not going to wait for--"

"No. They're taking too long. Besides, we have a busy day and we already wasted 10 minutes of our time. I will not waste any more of our time."

Nagtinginan sila at tumango. Ilang sandali lang ay gumarahe na sa harapan ang karwahe na sasakyan namin.

That's not a good thing to have especially in the morning. Kagigising pa lang pero problema na agad ang bubungad. I hate it. Nakakawala ng gana sa buong araw.

"Miss, there's also one supplier that my other supplier befoore recommended to me. It also has low price but also class a quality. Would you like to take a look?" Jakob asked.

"If we still have time to look, then we can go. Or better yet, yoou can contact that other supplier and asked for samples when we arrive at the boutique."

"I think the latter would sounds good," he replied.

Ilang minuto lang ay nakarating na sila sa boutique, sa likod sila dumaan para hindi na rin magkaroon ng disturbance sa paligid.

"Welcome to our shop, my lady," the owner said. It was a man that moves like a lady. He's probably gay.

Even his voice is kinda pitched.

"Thank you...?"

"Evan, my lady. But I'll be happy if you'll call me Eve," he said and giggles.

"Okay, Eve. Care to show me around and show your samples?" I said.

Lumaki ang ngiti nito sa labi at iminuwestra ang kaniya kamay papasok.

"Of course, my lady. This way, please."

He, She, rather, showed me a lot of fabrics, some were rejected, and only few that can be counted on hands were chosen.

"I suppose, Jakob called the other supplier I referred to him. He's also living here but it'll take him an hour and a half to travel."

Both of them sat down in a private room with food all over the table. They are having snacks and drinking tea.

Pinakain niya rin ang mga kasama niya na nasa kabilang room.

"Yeah, he mentioned that person earlier. I really do hope, he also have some good fabric. Not that, yours isn't good. I just want to find something that'll fit the theme and satisfy my urges."

"I understand, my lady. Of course, I'm rooting for your success and endeavors in the future," he said. Nagpasalamat naman ako sa sinabi niya.

At ilang sandali lang ay nagpaalam siya na may aasikasuhin sa store kaya naiwan na lamang siyang mag-isa sa loob ng kwarto. Tanaw niya ang labas mula sa bintana. Nasa pangalawang palapag siya, kaya naman kahit papaano ay kita niya ang nangyayari sa labas.

People were busy buying from stalls to stalls, kids running around, family hanging out, people talking to each other, a lot happening. I'm about to divert my attention to the food, but something caught my eye, someone, rather.

It was a familiar built, familiar long hoodie, it looks like a person familiar to her.

He was walking alone, seems like he's avoiding these busy people. Perhaps, hiding?
