Exes' Baggage And More

Chapter One Hundred Forty Six

Andrew and Marcus were playing in class while they were waiting for Macy.

Well, as he expected. The teacher didn't allow anyone to pick up the boy other than Ken or Macy – or maybe that was Ken's instructions this morning when the writer dropped Marcus off. And he doesn't mind waiting for his lover. After all, the little man seems to be an obedient child too. Marcus said that he would wait for his mom to pick him up – other than because Macy promised him yesterday.

They are currently playing with Lego, making something that looks like a robot. Or that. David himself just watched the two from another table. It seemed that he never expected to see a rare event like this – seeing Andrew playing with small children. Since he met his cousin, he feels that the man doesn't have the 'talent' to be close to small children. The figure of Andrew Coangco as a writer, feels so cold and mysterious.

So, seeing him getting to know Marcus – apart from being Macy's son – he was so surprised.

David took a deep breath and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was almost half past three in the afternoon. It's even past lunch time. And even though the school will close at four o'clock, but with a situation like this, it seems that no parent would be willing to make their child wait this long.

He turned to Andrew. "Hey, Drew. Macy hasn't told you when she will come?"

The man glanced at the agent then took out his cellphone. There is no incoming message from Macy. "There is not any. I didn't even realize it had been over two hours. Should I call?"

"I guess. Just making sure she's still in St. Haven. After all, we haven't eaten anything yet, so has Marcus, haven't we?" said David.

Andrew then contacted Macy. But the number is not even active. His brows furrowed. It's unusual for his girlfriend's cell phone to be turned off. Then he contacted St. Haven, just to be sure. When connected, he stood up and walked a bit away from Marcus.

"Editorial Team of St. Haven. Editor Gil here."

Andrew took a breath. "Uhm... hello Editor Gil."

"Writer Coangco?!"

Well, Gil's voice sounded as if he was surprised to hear the writer's voice. Of course, with his contract with St. Haven done, it would be a little weird if the author contacted the editorial team again. Especially to ask the whereabouts of their editor-in-chief.

"Yes. Uhm... I tried to contact Editor Cruz, but her cell phone is off. I heard that she came to St. Haven today. Is Editor Cruz still there?"

"Today, the Chief Editor came to St. Haven for meetings. But after meeting with the team, she left St. Haven with Writer Reyes."

Oh, that doesn't actually sound weird. After all, the man knew that Macy would meet Ken at St. Haven.

"So. Did she just leave St. Havens?"

"Eh? The Chief Editor left St. Haven before noon. Maybe three hours ago."

"WHAT?!" Andrew exclaimed which caught the attention of David and Marcus.

Then quickly he left the class so that the boy would not hear his conversation.

"Excuse me, Writer Coangco?"

He walked down the classroom to the main lobby. He just hoped that Macy just forgot to charge her cellphone and her cell phone ran out of battery. "Oh, sorry. I'm sorry, I was just surprised. Err... actually today we were planning to meet. But Editor Cruz says that she's still on business at St. Haven. I was just trying to contact her to make sure..." but his words were cut off when he saw someone limping along.
