"Welcome to Philippines, Aileen." I grabbed Aileen's other bags after I waited for her departure.

"Thank you, Ma'am." Aileen said while pulling the luggage in one of her arms.

I placed every luggage and bag to the carrier of the car and drove home.

"This is our house. Thank you, Aileen, for traveling this far. You know how I trust you." Aileen bowed to me and smiled. I toured her around the house. We reached the guest room where Aileen will stay. I told her about the appliances and everything that needs to be done inside the house. Exact of that moment, Zarra went to the kitchen.

"OMG! Aileen, right? You'll stay here?" I smiled when Zarra asked the question, and I caught her excitement.

"She'll help us around the house, Zarra. It'll be good if we have someone beside ourselves. Aileen, make yourself home." I smiled to Aileen and patted her shoulder.

"You really called Aileen from Singapore. But I'm happy to see Aileen here; I have someone to talk with when Alex is not around." Zarra said. She held Aileen's hands with excitement and she taught Aileen about the things around the kitchen.

"Before I forgot. We're having a house blessing in the afternoon and a dinner with my friends. My gang is here, so we must prepare foods." When I said those words, Zarra's eyes lit with surprise and joy.

"You didn't told me that! Then we need to go in the market. Aileen, come with me." I smiled about Zarra's enthusiasm. She pulled Aileen's hand and she picked up her car keys.

"Wait, can I ask my friends to come too?" Zarra asked excitedly. I nodded to her in agreement.

I dialed Lyn's number after they went out to buy.

[Damn you, Alex. This country is so hot.] I laughed when I heard Lyn's voice.

"Come to the pin location I sent you. You're with ABCD right?" I asked Lyn on the other line.

[Yes, she's with me. We are currently in the mall. It's so damn hot outside. ABCD is in a spa, while I'm at the rooftop of the mall when you called.]

"Where are Chris, Penelope, and XYZ?" I asked Lyn.

[Well Chris is fixing those plans you handed to him. He's currently investigating Taylor Davis' company. XYZ met the congressman you told us about. While Penelope is in the underworld, battling like she's the queen in the ring *sighs*. Penelope is under surveillance and trying to compete in the underworld to know some drug syndicates. ABCD hacked the CCTV footage of the bar you told us about. Is your house blessing ready?]

"We'll start maybe at 3pm. Then we'll have dinner."

[I'll let the others know, Bye.] I ended the phone call.

I went to the guest room and installed a hidden camera. Just in case.


Zarra Ashclaire-Jones' Point of View

Matapos makapamili ay nilagay na namin sa likod ng sasakyan ang mga pinamili namin ni Aileen.

Nang makasakay sa passenger seat si Aileen ay lumapit ako sa kaniya para ilagay ang kaniyang seatbelt.

Saka ko siya naamoy. Katulad ng nasa bahay ako ni Alex sa Singapore ay tuwing lumalapit si Aileen sa akin, para akong nakakaamoy ng fresh cut flowers. It's like I've been surrounded by a blossom.

Aileen wore a simple blouse and simple skirt. Her age can be estimated 5 years older than mine. She's young, but she looked mature the way she looked. Her hair is dark auburn. She has freckles in her face, which makes her more attractive.
