My Ideal Girl

Chapter 13

Azalea

"Yes Mum, soon. Bye! I love you!"

I miss my Mum.

I've been calling her everyday now.

Last week I got a call from her, she was crying because she's longing for her one and only baby.

That's how much she loves me.

I am already thirty but she treats me like I'm three.

Boss D granted my request. Jhoana is now working at my office. It's been two months since she transferred. She was very surprised when I told her she'll continue her internship with me.

My ten employees know that we're together.

Jhoanna's reaction when I answered my secretary's question still makes me smile every time I remember.

'Maam Lea, mag-ano po kayo ni Jho?'

Kimmy asked me then.

'Girlfriend ko siya.'

I answered matter of factly.

She wailed instantly.

I asked her,

'Bakit umiiyak ka diyan?'

She can't find her voice to answer me quick because she is sobbing.

And in fact, she never got to answer the question because she cries every time she tries.

She was so overwhelmed then.

She already dumped Yuan. He already went back to Canada.

And Nico was nowhere to be found. That boy is very sneaky. If I caught him, he'll be dead.

Since that day I introduced Jho to Mafe, my lady boss' youngest sister  became crabby.

She was hurt I know. But that's the way it is.

It took me a couple of months to investigate about her 'death threats'.

That day when the deed of sale of this security agency was given to us, I immediately used its license to get a copy of Mafe's incoming and outgoing records through her mobile phone network provider.

I already contacted every number on the record.

It turned out that those sim cards that allegedly texted and called her was bought in a store somewhere in San Pedro Laguna.

The purchaser of those three sim cards was a single person.

Mafe's student.

I talked to her already.

She just followed her teacher's request. She didn't know what Mafe did to those sim cards.

If my assumption is correct, Maam Jema might get angry as hell with her sister. 

If Jho downplayed the story about her stalker, Mafe made a phantom one.

She fabricated it to get my attention.

I never thought that a woman in her mid 20's would create a story like that.
