In The Professor's Shadow

Chapter 13

"A small hole can turn to big one, a virus can kill everyone so better kill that seed before it grows and create branches of problems."

Kiglen

"Who are you?" The investigator asked the woman pero hindi pa rin ito nagsasalita.

The woman looks like she is just in her 20's.I am walking to the parking lot to get my car so I can go home already when I noticed this woman hiding beside my car and ready to attack Bim. It's a good timing that I act quickly more than her. I also saw someone peeking at us kanina pero nawala din agad. I have doubts in Riza's father and some people around. It seems like he is harming this innocent students close to his daughter.

He is filtering out the people who are close to his family."What's your purpose?" Asked by the investigator for the 10th time already with his but she is still not answering. I called the security for a cctv footage but it was cut. I think someone easily sneak in the security room, mahigpit ang bantay doon but still someone just entered.

"We will inform you Mr. Adler and Ms. Santos if we have gathered an information from this woman. As of this moment we will undergo some investigations. Thank you for your time." Sabi ng investigator. Lumabas na kami ni Bim sa police station at sumalubong sa amin sila Riza kasama ang dalawa pa nilang kaibigan at ang pinsan ni Bim kasama ang dalawa nitong kaibigan.

"Are you okay Bim?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Riza at niyakap si Bim."I'm sorry that we left you alone." I can feel Riza's guilt.

"It's okay Riza. I am the one who requested for it so don't blame yourself. I am fine now, Prof Kiglen helped me." Sabi ni Bim at napatingin sa akin.

That's the soft side of Riza when it comes to people close to her which she doesn't show because she doesn't want to look weak infront of other people.

"What happened?" Tanong ni Khian her cousin. I told them the story and they were curious kung sino ang babae na iyon. There are lots of conclusions and unanswered questions.

"Where is that woman?" Seryosong tanong ni Riza na parang susugod.

She really can't control herself sometimes."Let the investigator do its job Riza don't meddle, we should all go home because it's already late and you have classes tomorrow." Sabi ko.

"Prof Kiglen is right Riza." Sang-ayong sabi ni Khian. I enter my car and loosen my necktie before removing my eyeglasses.

When I arrived at my house, I went to my room and take a shower. I am living alone since I can provide for myself. The fact that I also want to live on my own because of my duties. My parents are living abroad while my siblings are in the other region.

I am an agent hired by Riza's father to become her tutor and protector since she is his heiress.I am wearing my bathrobe and entered a secret room.I look at the photos infront of me and a smile plastered on my lips. Just a few more steps to finish everything.

My phone suddenly vibrated and as soon as I opened the message, my smile fades away.

Third person's POV

"Silence that woman." An authoritative voice said.

"I will." Sagot ng taong nasa harapan niya.
