"Hey, bitch what's up?"

"Maria Isabelle Asuncion Silva! Where are you? I've been waiting here for ages! Ang tagal mo!"

Oh for the love of god! Grabe naman makasigaw itong si Jade, parang wala ng bukas. Hindi ko naman kasalanan na tanghali na ako nagising 'no! Hello? Gabi na kaya ako nakauwi.

And how dare she called me by my full name? Ew! Mabaho, panget at walang kwentang pangalan 'yon! 'Yan na nga ang isa sa pinag- aawayan naming ng parents ko e. Kung bakit naman sa kinaganda ganda ng anak nila, ang panget ng napili nilang pangalan. Pero, ano pa ang magagawa ko e nandyan na 'yan.

"Ugh! You don't need to shout, bitch. I'll just take my meds and a nice cold shower and I'm off."

"Make sure you'll be here before ten. May new client tayo."

"Really? But I don't want to take another client!"

"Come on! He's studying at Brent din. We can't turn this one down!"

"So?"

I grunted. I guess being the only daughter of the owners of Silva Entertainment Company really was both a blessing and a curse.  Even if I didn't want to, my parents forced me to take a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication at Brent University for Arts while both of my friends were attending a different course.

Ano nga ba ang magagawa ko? In their eyes, I would be always be the dumb and a spoiled child, that they need to control.

Kaya heto, I was being forced to accept someone in our business just because he was attending the same school.

"Malay mo, we can improve your rep sa Brent if tatanggapin natin itong client na 'to."

I honestly didn't give a damn whether taking this client that Jade was talking about could improve my reputation sa school na 'yon or not.

Care ko ba kung tawagin ako ng mga tao roon na bitch, whore, at slut dahil lang sa hobby at business ko? As long as I am happy with what we're doing, wala na akong pakielam sa iba.

"Jade, I don't give a fu—"

"Just hurry up!"

"Ugh. Fine, bye. See you later bitch."

"Bye, bitch."

I dropped our call and sighed. It maybe weird calling each other's 'bitch,' but who cares, anyway? It was our endearment for as long as I could remember. May magagawa ba ang mga tao roon?

Nag vibrate muli 'yong phone ko at nang tiningnan ko kung sino, 'yong isa kong kaibigan na si Gem lang pala ang nag send ng message.

B where na you? You're late!

Nag reply naman agad ako sa kaniya.

Wait for me. Don't make any arrangements habang wala pa ako diyan.

Ilalagay ko na sana 'yong phone ko sa bag nang may nag notify ulit. Grabe naman talaga ang mga kaihigan ko at ang bibilis mag reply!

Hurry up! Nandito na 'yung client natin!

I rolled my eyes. Heto ang ayaw ko. 'Yong pinagmamadali ako.

Ininom ko na 'yung meds ko tapos naligo at nagbihis na.

Siyempre pinili kong suotin 'yong bagong red dress ko. Body fitting siya at plunging neckline pa  Ayoko naman ma-disappoint 'yong new clients namin. Mahirap na at baka hindi pa siya masatisfy. Kinulot ko 'yong buhok ko at pinabayaang na nakalugay lang. Hindi ko na rin masyadong nilagyan ng make-up 'yong mukha ko, dahil natural naman ng maganda ako.

I did my preparations in just half an hour, pero bago pa ako makaalis, may nahagip ang mga mata ko na nagpahinto sa akin.

Isang salamin sa mata.

Ngumiti lang ako nang maalala ko kung ano ang rason kung bakit nasa akin iyon at ano ang nangyari kagabi.

Hindi ko talaga inaasahan na mabilis na nakuha ng may-ari ng salamin na iyon ang atensyon ko.

When I saw that lonely boy in the club, something in him instantly got me. I even skipped my date to approach him.

Maybe it's because he looked at everyone there as if we were in a different world than him or the negative vibes he emitted throughout the club.

He looked so devastated that he reminded me of a puppy abandoned by its owner. Ganoon ang mga target client namin kaya hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa na lapitan siya.

Nang iwan ko siya sa bahay niya kagabi, nag-iwan ako ng calling card ng Bad Girls Company.

I was sure that he needed us...no, he needed me to make some changes in his life. Alam ko na magkikita muli kami ng lalaki na iyon.

Nararamdaman kong kakagat siya sa alok ko. At hindi na ako makapaghintay na tulungan siya at ibigay sa kaniya ang walang kapantay na service nang isang Belle Silva.
