Althea was drinking her coffee when she received a text message from Bea.
"Frances was coming there at your condo. Treat her well okay? Or I'll kill you." Bea texted.
"What? Dito?" Sabi ni Althea sa sarili. "But why here?" Althea replied.
"Yah! Gawin mo nalang kung anong sinabi ko. Since you have a studio there, that will be your place to teach Louise okay?" Bea said.
"Whatever." Althea groaned.

Althea was reminiscing about what happened last night when Jade talked and introduced herself to her when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Althea?" Someone said still knocking.
Pumunta siya sa monitor para tignan kung sino ang nasa labas at nakita si Frances na nakatayo sa tapat ng kanyang pinto.
Binuksan nito ang pinto, "Hi Frances, come in." She said smilingly.
"Umayos ka Althea, kailangan mo ng pera." Sabi ni Althea sa sarili.
Pumasok si Frances sa loob ng condo nito at inilibot ang tingin dito.
"Wow, nice condo." Frances said.
"Thanks. Binili ni Bea to para sa akin." Sabi ni Althea.
"Talaga? Bea must have been wanting you so she prepared all of this." Frances said.
"I guess so?" She scratched her head. "So what do you want?" Althea asked while walking towards her kitchen.
"A simple coffee will do." Frances said then sat on the sofa.
"Okay, just wait here." Althea said and opened her refrigerator but she saw nothing."
"Nothing..?" Althea said. "Shit. Kailangan ko na palang mag grocery after this." Althea smacked her forehead.
"Uhm Frances, I'm sorry but I don't have a coffee right now. Water you want? Besides, it's good for the skin." Althea joked.
Natawa naman si Frances, "Sure." She said smilingly. This woman is cute. Frances thought.
Bumalik si Althea sa living room na may dalang isang basong tubig. Umupo ito sa katabi ni Frances.
"So? Saan mo gusto mag start?" Tanong ni Althea.
"Well, I was thinking maybe can you show me your pictures? I mean your photographs." Frances said.
"Pictures?" Tanong ni Althea at tumango naman si Frances.
"We'll wait here." Tumayo si Althea at pumunta sa studio.
Bumalik si Althea dala ang portfolio nito. It was a black with an initial of A.D covered with a gold color.
Binigay ni Althea ang portfolio kay Frances at sinimulan naman nitong tignan ang mga kuha ni Althea.
Frances saw a lot of amazing pictures. Calamity, People smiling & Dancing, Countries, Breathtaking views around the globe.
"Wow. You're amazing." Frances said still her eyes glued to the pictures. She flip the last one and saw a picture of a woman, she later recognized and with a caption:
