"Congratulations Mr. Rudrigo, cheers to your another success." Trisiah playfully said while tossing her wineglass, I can't help but frown a little on her remarks. She is the owner of Redpen Publishing Company. One reasons of my successful career. She's the one who published all my novel and I consider her as one of the few friends that I have.

"Stop being so formal Tris, your giving me chills." I replied with a slight smile plastered on my face. She just laugh nonchalantly on what I said.

"Haha. Yeah right. Anyway, is it true that you'll be spending your vacation in Phil.?"

She ask out of the blue. She sounds serious all of a sudden. Her eyes surveyed the place, as if avoiding for an eye contact. My brows furrowed as I sigh silently.

"Yeah. As much as I don't want to go there, I'm not... I can't decline. Mr Manrique had been inviting me ever since, I can't afford to disappoint him this time."

She look at me intently. Then she sighed.

"Is that really the only reason? Because the way I see it, it seems like you've been avoiding sitting foot on that country... and I wonder why."

I was shut hearing what she said. Why does it feel like she knows something?

"What?" My eye bore onto her orb auburn eyes.She continued arching her brows.

I can't read what's on her mind.

I was taken aback. I'm lost of words and I find it hard to even swallow a little of my own saliva.

"No. there's no other reason.'' I said with finality. I maintained a pokerfaced. How can she possibly know something?

"Attention all passenger, we're about to land at NAIA any minutes from now. I request everyone to stay on board for the time being."

I took deep breath as I waited for the plane to arrived. My heart pounded in between my chest as though I'm in a marathon. I can feel its beating abnormally as if wanting to burst out from my ribcage. I can feel the sudden cold sweat in both of my palms

"This way sir."

I nodded warily to the attendant who assisted me with my luggage, I can't afford to smile for the reason that I'm hell'a nervous.

Shit. I cursed silently. Why am I fucking nervous? Its not like you'll meet her in this huge country Jared. I snorted.

Yeah,yeah.

Don't be ridiculous!

A traffic jam welcomed me, I put my sunglasses on before the scorching sun could blind me. Manila it is.

I automatically went inside the black mustang in front of me. I smirked and start the engine. My upper lips went up as I saw my cousin's driver half-running. Maybe to stop me from leaving? He couldn't possibly be serious about stopping this monster racer car, isn't he?
