My one-month vacation is over and Easton and I are going back to Manila. We made the most of that vacation because when we returned to Manila we were both busy.

We left Batangas at around six in the morning. When we arrived in Manila it was around nine o'clock. Easton drove me to my condo.

"I might not be able to visit you. But I will call you when I have time." he said. I smiled at him.

"I understand that you will be busy, and so am I. But I will still update you." He gently pulled me closer to him and hugged me.

"I will miss you." He whispers huskily in my ear.

"Me too." I closed my eyes when I felt his soft lips on my forehead.

"Baby, I have to go. I still have a meeting to attend."

I loosened from his embrace and nodded.

He smiled at me and tucked a few strands of my hair behind my ear.

"I love you." He said genuinely.

I tip-toed and kissed him on the lips. He was a little surprised by what I did.

I only gave him a smack kiss.

He grinned at me.

"You have been naughty, baby." He wet his lips at the same time.

He was about to kiss me, but I immediately stopped him.

"Go ahead, leave, or you'll be late for the meeting you're going to."

He pouted, and his face was disappointed.

"Tricks, huh?"

I giggled.

"You should go now, Easton." He sighed.

" Okay, I'm going ahead."

He suddenly kissed me on my lips. And quickly walked away from me. I was just dumbfounded at where I stood. He winked at me before he entered the elevator.

I bit my lip and couldn't help but smile on my lips. I entered my condo unit and rested first.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, I woke up from my long nap. I turned on the TV in the living room while I made a snack in the kitchen. And I heard the background music of a famous TV news.

"Breaking news! A famous business tycoon was caught in a buy-bust last night. 10 kilos of drugs and unregistered firearms were recovered from them. This famous businessman is Ferdo Legaspi. The chairperson of Legaspi Corp."

I quickly went to the living room when I heard the name of that shameless old man.

I just stared at the TV as I watched him mobbed by reporters and the media.

"He was among those arrested last night. Right now the investigation in his case is ongoing."

I grabbed the back of the couch. I don't know what I feel right now because of the mixed emotions I felt.

Until my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID. It was my older brother.

I answer the call.

"Hello?" I can hear long statics in the other line.

"Brother," I called him.

I heard his sigh.

"I thought you wouldn't answer my call yet." I felt the sadness in his voice.

"You called." I took a deep breath because this was the heavy feeling I was feeling.

"I just want to know if you have heard about what happened to Mr. Legaspi."
