Exes' Baggage And More

CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE

Andrew leaned against the wall. He just heard Jino's explanation about what steps St. Haven will take related to David's case. St. Haven said that they suspect what happened to David, related to what happened to Macy recently. Even though it's just an assumption, they will find the culprit and prosecute him legally.

With Andrew's intuition by asking Jino to take a coffee sample, St. Haven will report this case to the police. Even if Andrew asked for it to be done secretly, the news has already spread. For now, Gil and Jen have managed to control the media coverage. Although somewhat it tarnished the name of St. Haven, because they've been missed twice, but with enough news to make the culprit go into 'hiding' for a while.

It will be good for Andrew, later.

"Writer Coangco..."

Andrew raised his head, staring at Jino closely. "The laboratory sample results haven't come out yet?"

"Not yet. The doctor will call when it's out. Do you want to go home and rest? Agent Lee hasn't woken up yet, has he?" Jino said.

Andrew mumbled. "There are too many people here. Besides, if David knows that I'm waiting for him, he won't be happy."

"Okay. But... are you sure you want to hitch a ride with the Chief Editor? I mean-"

"It would be a lot better if I got out in a car that the reporters didn't recognize, wouldn't it? Editor Cruz herself did not refuse," he said.

Jino can understand what Andrew meant. The car used by Macy currently belongs to St. Haven.

Not many recognize it. As long as he uses the car prepared by St. Haven, along with the driver and bodyguard, St. Haven received reports that they were frequently followed by several vehicles. Lucky enough, the driver that St. Haven hired never made a rash decision to avoid them.

"Okay. You want to see Agent Lee first? I'll find the Chief Editor. He probably took Marcus to the cafeteria," Jino said.

Andrew shook his head. "David is still unconscious. Tell Editor Cruz, I'll be waiting by the lobby desk."

Jino again nods and rushes to find his boss.

*****

Andrew waited near the lobby table with his head still lowered. Lucky enough he carried a headset in his jacket pocket. While waiting for Macy, he can listen to music – avoiding the stares of people passing by and trying to approach him.

Well, he should have followed Jino to look for Macy.

When faintly, he heard Marcus' voice – among the music echoes in his ears – he slowly lifted his head and smiled faintly when he saw Macy who was still holding Marcus because her son was not wearing footwear at all, and listened to Marcus who didn't know what he was talking about.

Andrew took off the headset and pocketed it back as they got closer.

"Uncle Andrew..."

Andrew chuckled when Macy shushed the boy because her son's voice was quite loud.

"Where is Jino?" Andrew asked when he only saw the mother and child.

Macy's eyebrows rose. "Jino is with the staff of St. Haven. Looks like they'll be here for quite a while. Jino said you haven't met David yet."

Andrew nodded, then he held out his hand – as a sign for Marcus to move to him. Marcus smiled then moved into Andrew's arms. "Ush... you're quite heavy, aren't you," he said.
