Part 2.2

After leaving Mackie at the restaurant. The girls arrive at the company condo.

"Was that who I think it was?" Shan says still confused with what happened.

"How about you go get some rest muna" Jhia says caressing Sab. "I don't think I can" Sab says breaking down again. "How could she be alive?" she says sobbing.

"I know it's really tough to understand right now. Give yourself time muna. We're here with you." Addison says reassuring her. "I-I just don't know what to think or feel right now. Can you please call Dad." Sab says to Jhai.

"I'll call Sir Alfredo, uhm Shan samahan muna natin si Sab sa loob." Mandy says as they assist Sab to the bed. "I think we'll hang back" Clover says.

"Lets talk muna Addison" Clover says as Jhai closes the bedroom door. "Bakit anong meron?" Addison asks. "Uhm I know you know Mackie naman but uh... we just wanted to tell you..." Jhai says unsure with her words.

"Ano ba yun?" Addison asks curiously. "Mackie has a temper" Gab says, "She doesn't lash out on anybody... But she does have a tendency to get herself in trouble" she explains further.

"What are you trying to tell me?" Addison says with furrowed brows. "That maybe it's best to give her time for now" Clover says. "I know Mackie, she'll listen to me" Addison says.

"Well... maybe right now we should listen to her" Gab says explaining. Addison sighs but nods. "Pahinga ka muna kasama sila Sab, I'm sure she'll be more at ease pag kasama ka niya" Jhai says holding Addison's shoulder.

As Addison joins Mandy and the others. "What do we do now?" Gab asks sounding lost. "You guys know her better, sa tingin niyo ba saan siya pupunta?" Clover asks.

"I'll call Tito Dad muna, he should know about everything that happened today" Jhai says but Gab stops her. "I have a feeling na may nag sabi na kay Tito" Gab says taking the phone from Jhai.

Meanwhile at the ALAS Corp. Bldg.

"Wait Ms. Mackenzie--" the secretary says stopping her as Mackie barges in the office. "Mackenzie, What's wrong?" Mr. Lim says with a confused look.

"Tell me you didn't know that she was alive!" Mackie shouts, her hands shaking with anger. "Uh Pia(secretary), could you please give us some privacy" Alfredo says making his secretary leave.

"Believe me when I say I only found out recently" Mr. Lim says pouring alcohol for Mackie.

"H-how did you know?" Mackie says confused.

"A picture of her in a supermarket was delivered to me. I've asked my people to investigate it. Drink with me" Alfredo says taking a sip.

"What? When? Did you ever plan on telling us?" Mackie says sitting across him.

"Mackie I wasn't sure if totoo yung photo." Mr. Lim says with a sigh. "For all we know she's just someone pretending to be your Mom to ask you for some money."

"So what? You don't trust me to be responsible enough? Even if she is my real mom I wouldn't give her anything" Mackenzie says continuing to drink.

"I know that. I believe that you've changed so much, Mack. Your life is so good right now, you have everything you need. We don't need someone messing that all up." Mr. Lim says with sincerity.

While listening to her Dad. Mackenzie's eyes started watering."I just don't get it you know. Why-- why does she show up now? Like this" Mackenzie says as tears flow down.

"Mack, I hope you don't still blame yourself for her leaving. She made her choice. And she chose herself." Mr Lim says pouring more alcohol for Mackie.

"I don't want Sab getting caught up in this. Maybe it's time she flew back to the States." Mackie says drinking.

"That's not our choice anak. I do have a question... How did she find you?" Mr. Lim says wondering.

"Dior. I don't know how but they seem to know each other. All this time, she knew. Maybe you should talk with your business partners Dad. How come alam nila pero hindi natin." Mackenzie says brows arched again.

As Mackie was about to drink more Alfredo stops her hand."I'll have your girlfriend pick you up. You're not fit to drive" Alfredo says taking the glass away from her.

"I'm fine" Mackenzie says aggressively taking it back. "Don't call her. I don't want to see anyone right now." she says.

"So what's your plan then? Lalayo ka? Move to another country again? Shut people out like you did?" Alfredo says pushing her buttons.

"Quit it Dad. This is how I deal with it." Mackenzie says taking one more shot.

"You're dealing with it like you're still 8 years old. You have responsibilities now so get yourself together." Mr. Lim says completely taking the bottle and dialing a number.

"Who are you calling?" Mackenzie asks confused.

"Hello?" Mr. Lim says on the phone with someone. "Yes she's here. Come get her." he says as Mackenzie rests her head on the table. Minutes pass and she fell asleep.

"Excuse po" a woman's voice could be heard after a knock on the door.

"Ah enter please" Mr. Lim says focused on his paperwork. "I forgot your other friends numbers kaya I called you to help." he says with a smile.

"No problem Tito. I'll take care of her." Dior says smiling wide.

"Hmm you sure you can bring her home?" Mr. Lim asks.

"Ah yes po, don't worry I'll make sure she'll sober up later. Thanks for the call po" Dior says dragging Mackie out of there.

As they exit the building the security guard assists her. "Ah Ms. Dior tulongan ko na po kayo, book ko po ba kayo ng taxi?" he asks with a polite smile.

"Yes please Kuya, sa Red Door Hotel ang destination" Dior says slyly handing a blue bill to the guard.

"Ako na po bahala ma'am. Wait lang kayo" he says.
