Chapter 021

Pagkatapos kausapin si Marielle, si Zoe naman ang hinanap ni Sebastian. At dahil wala itong ideya kung saan hahanapin, he asked for Sean's help.

Thankfully, she's somewhere near.

Pumasok siya sa café na malapit lang sa university. He can see her from where he is standing. She's sitting on one chair habang nakatutok sa kaniyang laptop.

Nang masigurong wala siyang kasama, tumungo siya roon at saka umupo.

Tumigil si Zoe sa pagtitipa at nag angat ng tingin ng makadinig ng paggalaw ng upuan sa kaniyang harapan.

And she's not hearing things.

May isang lalaki nga talaga ang umupo roon. From the expression he is wearing, sinadya niyang umupo roon.

"What are you doing?"

"Is this seat vacant?"

Lumalim lang ang kaniyang tingin sa kaniya. Hindi neto sinagot ang kaniyang tanong kaya hindi niya rin ito sasagutin.

Sebastian chuckled and went forward. He rested his both arms at the table. "I'll make this short and quick. Do you know anything about the incident that occurred yesterday?"

"Incident?" her brow arched. "When Cheska was taken away by Andrei?"

"Yes."

"No," she firmly said and returned her gaze to her laptop. Nagsimula na ulit siyang magtipa.

"From what I heard to your friend Marielle, you are romantically involved with Andrei."

She paused.

"I heard you are his girlfriend. Didn't he say anything to you about this plan of his?"

Nanatili siyang tahimik then, later on, she giggled. However, Sebastian saw no amusement in her eyes. Tila napilitan siyang tumawa.

"Do you think our relationship is like the other relationships out there?" the chuckles continue. "If you're thinking we're madly...in love with each other to the point that we update each other every hour then you're absolutely delusional."

Hindi umimik doon si Sebastian. Pinagmasdan niya lang ang babae na nasa harapan.

"Andrei tells me nothing. He doesn't trust me with anything even the lightest things. You are asking the wrong person. Nagulat din ako noong sumulpot siya bigla kahapon. I don't know anything about it. Kung may alam man ako, I doubt I will tell you something and betray Alexandra and Andrei."

At least she's honest.

"If I am asking the wrong person, who should I be asking then?"

Natawa siya roon. She looked at him arrogantly. "Whenever the siblings do something waggish, only the two of them can turn things around. No one knows what they're up to even their plan. That's just how those two plays. That makes them invincible to their games.

"To answer your question, there is no right person. Not unless Andrei or Alexandra will give you something."

After accomplishing what they tend to accomplish, Sophia and Sebastian decided to come back to Cj's mansion as soon as they can. Baka tuluyan ng mabaliw si Cj kung hindi kaagad sila makabalik.

For sure he's getting itchy to know something.

"Zoe and Marielle know nothing about the abduction. Looks like the siblings made that they're the only one who knows this game. They made sure no one would sell them."
