Miro pushed the door open and walked in, Jens chose to stay outside.
"Miro, how are you?" Mr. Laurien casually asked as he motioned the chair in front of his table.
"Have a sit." Miro then sits down as she leans her back.
"What do you want from me?" Miro asked directly. Mr. Laurien smirked at her.
"I want you to run for this coming election."
Miro scoffed as she stood up from her seat.
"No." Miro clicked her tongue and walked away.
"Come on. That's an order young lady." Mr. Laurien seriously said as he stared at her.
Miro clenched her jaw as she turned to him.
"Still no." She said in her low tone.
Mr. Laurien just shook his head when Miro slammed the door.
He picked his phone up as he dialed Ms. Arson's number.
"Ms. Arson, I guess I need you to use another method." Mr. Laurien smiled as he hang up.
"There's no way you'll decline."

"Anong sabi?" Sam asked as soon as Aliah put away her phone.
"I think we need to reach out to Atty. Lecaros." Aliah said calmly as she look down on her meal.
"We? I didn't even agree with you to do this." Sam look at her with disbelief.
"You have no choice."
Sam let out a sigh as she looked away.

"Where have you been?Gabi na tapos umuulan pa." A question that Miro heard as soon as she opens her door.
"University." Miro simply replied as she made her way to her room.
"She doesn't have any classes today, so why would she go there? This girl." Cleir asks herself as she scratches her nape. Her thought was interrupted when she heard her phone ring.
She took a deep breath before she swiped on the screen to answer the call.
"Ate, nandyan ba siya?"
"Miro just got home, why? "
"Nakablock kasi ako sa kanya baka naman pwedeng makausap ko siya."
"Oh, maybe tommorow nalang."
"Ayaw niya kasi akong kausapin."
"You know naman na medyo masungit 'tong bata."
"I don't know na nga what to do with her."
"Pagpasensya mo na lang."
"As if naman may choice pa ako."
"Kakausapin ko na lang, don't worry."
"Yes please do. Kasi nahihirapan na akong i-deal yung attitude niya.
"I understand."
She let out sigh as she sat down on the couch.
"Ano bang gagawin ko sayo, Miro. Napakababaero mo tapos ako ang ginigulo ng mga babae mo." Cleir closes her eyes as she leans her head on the back of the couch.
