Jessa didn't think of getting some rest after she sent those instagram stories screenshots to her boss. She immediately called the in charge of presidential chopper to stand by right after her message was sent.
She knew very well that Bongbong will go to Baguio right at that hour. She knew him very well. Advance sya mag-isip.
And he did.
They reached the President's Summer Palace, The Mansion after a few minutes. Bongbong was terrifyingly quiet during those minutes. Jessa could feel his irritation as he gripped his phone tightly.
"I need to see Leni." He uttered the moment he touched the ground of Baguio.
Jessa nodded. "Yes sir. Sa sasakyan po tayo. She's in Baguio Country Club."
He didn't bother to say anything. He just went straight to the car waiting for him.
Jessa coordinated with everyone even before Bongbong decided to go to Baguio. After she asked the chopper to stand by, she also called the staff of The Mansion to get ready because the President might go there any moment. She also called her contacts at Baguio City Hall about Mayor Benjie's whereabouts because she knew that Leni is with him. After all, she was right.
In St. Jessa, we trust 🙏🏻

Leni was laughing hard after that joke Jorge made. She was gripping the sleeves of his jacket.
"Baka mapunit naman ang jacket ko! Dalawa lang 'tong baon ko." Jorge jested, holding Leni's hand.
Leni laughed again. "Edi bumili ka ng bago!"
"Yan na naman kayo! Kaya kayo na-iisue eh!" Harvey pointed out. Everyone on the table knew Jorge and Leni's closeness through the years.
They laughed again. Leni was now blushing after that comment.
Mayor Benjie stood up startling everyone. "M— Mr. President!"
They followed the Mayor's line of sight and saw Bongbong Marcos standing there.
Mayor Benjie shook his hand. "Mr. President, Sir good evening po! Uh pasensya na po kayo hindi ko po alam na dadalaw po kayo dito."
Bongbong just nodded. "It's okay, Mayor. Napadaan lang ako dito."
He glanced at Leni who's still holding Jorge's arm.
Mayor Benjie nodded. "Nag dinner na po ba kayo? Gusto nyo po—"
Bongbong cut him off. "Huwag na, Mayor. Gusto ko lang kausapin si Atty. Leni."
Everyone was surprised. They all looked at Leni.
Bongbong looked at Leni with no expression, "Atty. Robredo, can I talk to you?"
Leni nodded and stood up. "Excuse lang po muna. I'll be back." She told Jorge and the rest of the Kaya Natin group.
Bongbong shook hands with Mayor Benjie again bidding his goodbye. Then, he walked away without even waiting for Leni.
She followed him inside the car where Jessa told her to. She looked at him but he was looking outside through his windows. She just did the same with hers.
They pulled over at the Mansion House after a few minutes. He went out without waiting for her. She rolled her eyes and followed him inside.
Wow!
Leni thought as she slowly walked through the hallways of the summer palace. She was there before once but she never got the chance to roam around. She excitedly called Kit and showed him around.
