Only silenced had hedge in the travel for a short while. Lawrence and I remained to focus our attention on the road.

I began to wonder what he was thinking in his great mind. Only nasty things that I could guess.

"Kumusta pala ang buhay mo doon?" he asked, breaking off the ice and interrupted my imagination.

Okay, lang naman ang survival training ko. I said inside of my mind.

I forced a smile and tried to laugh. "Okie," I beamed with an okay sign to reinforce to make my words believable.

He grunted as his eyebrows frowned slightly. "Really?" he asked.

Yes, really. I had to undergo a traumatic experience between life and death because I pissed off my boss.

"Kayo ba?" I asked him without answering. I whistled as I count the lights that we passed.

He cleared his throat that that startled me a little. I glanced at him.

"Answer my question first," he hissed with a smile plastered on his face.

I pursed out my lips and wiggled it. "Okay nga," I replied in a mumble. I went back to counting the lights.

"You better survive there," he said in an undertone. "Ikaw ang pumasok sa problemang 'yan, kaya ayusin mo bago tumakbo."

I scratched my head when I lost track from counting. "Walang pinto ang problema, hindi ako pumasok!" I said in a growl and went back counting.

Letche, anong number na ba ako.

I took a glimpse of Lawrence when I gave up recalling what the previous number I did stop. "Nagtataka lang ako, Bal," I started, "Pareho kayo ni Boss na parang nagteteleport," I continued.

He sighed. "If you forgot his real identity, you better recall it. Nang maintindihan mo kung bakit," he answered.

My face turned sour as I knitted my brows, trying to use my gorgeous brain cells.

OMO! Don't tell me?

"Totoong alien siya kaya nagteteleport siya?" I murmured, rubbing my chin like an old man.

Ano kaya ang tunay na anyo niya.

I gasped, realizing his non-human flexibility and skills. "Shit, hindi talaga siya tao," I muttered to myself as I hit my forehead.

How could I let my beautiful self fall into the arms of a marshian—or Saturn species?

I internally cried for my poor beautiful eyes that I was one-hundred percent fooled by his appearance.

My drama was interrupted by Lawrence who scowled at me. "So who did you met aside from him?" he asked.

I tilted my head and started flipping back my precious memories. "His mom and his cousins, tyaka mga ibang katulong?" I said with hesitation because I noticed a man that always hides in the shadows. Although, I could see him we didn't meet.

I had been wondering why he hides and tails the boss. Siguro, stalker.

"How about his brothers?" Lawrence asked as he glanced at me shortly.

"Brothers?" I emphasized.

I scratched my head as I tried to recall if I had met his brothers.

Omo, what if nakahidden ang mga kapatid niya sa mansion dahil hindi sila maka-anyong tao.
