Mystery Lover

The Unique Envelope

Piero stopped halfway inside the condo and smile sweetly to the air. "Now one of my secrets is out and Ms Phantom is the first one to discover it. Let's be careful next time." He nodded to himself and kept on walking.

Ignazio happened to be seated next to a window on the second floor of the condo and saw everything between Piero and Jos. He was about to take another bite of his apple but he dropped.

"They seem to be..." He gulped hard and in horror, "...too. No! Oh god why am I having these thoughts?" He freaked out again as his mind just went back to thinking what it just couldn't be.

"Ignazio." Jos had called for him. He happened to be walking down the hallway and bent down to pick up his apple. "I think you drop this. You should wash it first before you continue to eat it."

Ignazio just stared at Jos with eyes. "Uh I uh... I don't want it anymore. You can have it." He said in a shacky voice. He felt intimidated by Jos's presence and decided to push the apple towards him.

"Oh! Thanks." Jos said and smiled at him. He just smirked and ran away from him while he covered his chest area.

He stopped just around the corner and peaked to see what Jos did. "He might be up to something. But I have to be careful with him." He last said before he kept running to his room.

Sofia just looked at the apple and shrugged it off as she continued her way to her room. Once inside she sat down behind her small desk and looked at her attended hand and the once bitten apple.

"They've been very nice to me today. It's not fair for them to be upset by what I have to do tomorrow." She thought outloud. She put the apple down and looked at the small picture she had in a small picture frame. It was Sarah, Jos and herself. She smiled sadly and said, "I'm very sorry to both of you. Specially to you Jos. I wanted to fulfill your dream and find mom like you've wished. Also, I needed a job and... now look at me. I'm even dressed as a boy just to keep it. I'm just stupid to have even agreed to something like this."

She wiped away her tears and caressed the picture. "Sarah... you I just needed a job. It didn't even matter if I had to do this, but it's all gone. I'm going back to being another jobless person. I promised you that I'll fight for it, but it is too late and there's nothing to be done now." She last said before going to bed and tried to have some sleep.

*Next day, outside the building*

The lady had travel to New York just to talk with her nephew. "Sir! Please! You don't understand, I must see Jos Valenti!" She shouted at one of the guards outside the Sony Building.

She had been investigating where exactly to find him, and she found him right away. She took the first plane with destination to New York and then Googled the company he worked for.

"I'm sorry ma'am but we can't just let you in like that. If you really want to see him, you must wait like everyone else is. They are also waiting so please." The guard said and pointed at the fans that happened to be seated in the concrete floor just a few steps from her.

"Ugh! Fine! But I'm not just another fan of this Il Volo group, oh no! I'm the aunt of one of them! Of Jos Valenti!" The lady shouted.

"That's not true. Then if it's the case, all these girls are their cousins." The guard told her.

"Do not insult me! I am saying the truth! I am Jos Valenti's aunt!" The lady kept insisting and shouting at the guard.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but please go wait with them." The guard last said and pointed to her back. She sighed in defeat and went to sit down next to three fans.
