Atty. Calvry

Chapter 27

"Woah. Couz, you look wasted." I glared at my cousin.

"I'm not drunk."

"You're not drunk, yet you look wasted, are you okay?" may pag-aalala sa boses nito.

Yeah, she's right, I really look wasted.

I'm here at the Letizia cafe, I just got here from Bliss Academy.

Anastacia texted me earlier that Vera was back from her vacation, kaya agaran akong pumunta dun para makita siya at makausap.

We did talk actually.

Raising her eyebrow, she uttered coldly. "Yes, Yllez?"

"I've missed you and Einna, where did you guys go?"

"Somewhere far from you." she replied making me pout.

"Ate naman, hindi ko nam-" I didn't get to finished my sentence when she suddenly slammed her office door on my face.

Ang sweet niya diba?

Kaya mahal na mahal ko yan, eh. Kahit kapatid ko pa siya at may anak at asawa na.

"Ano na ba ang balita sayo ng taong inutusan mong mag-imbestiga?" tanong ng pinsan ko habang inilagay ang kapeng in-order ko na siya mismo ang gumawa sa mesa.

"Kahapon ko pa lang inutusan yun, kaya malamang wala pang maibabalita yun."

"Lawyer ka ba talaga?"

Taka akong napatingin sa kanya. "Hindi ba halata?" sarkastikong sagot ko.

"Hindi. Ang bobong lawyer mo naman, Couz. Paano ka ba nakapasa sa board exam?"

"Hey! That's below the belt." I pouted, acting hurt with what she said.

Mas lalong sumama ang tingin ko sa kanya ng tinawanan ako nito. "Jusko. Nakakabobo pala ang ma-inlove sa babae?"

"Kapag ikaw na-inlove hindi lang tawa ang aabutin mo sa akin." ingos ko.

Naputol ang pag-uusap namin ng biglang tumunog ang spare phone ko at nakita dun ang number ng hinired kong private investigator.

I excused myself from Felice and answered the call.

"Yes?"

"Atty. Calvry. You were right." my heart start pounding so fast when I heard what he said. "Lincoln Hsu, is not her husband."

Fuck.

I knew it.

"And I also learned somet-"

I cut him off. "That's all I wanted to know, my friend will send the money in your back account. Thank you." I said before cutting the call.

"Oh? You seem happy now?" kababalik lang ni Felice at may dala itong strawberry cheesecake.

"Can you please send a money in this bank account?" inabot ko sa kanya ang isang cellphone ko. "It's the payment for the private investigator that I hired."

"Anong sabi niya?"

"I'm right, Lincoln Hsu is not her husband!" I beamed in happiness.
