Zoe's POV

For what it's worth, I'm going to turn this day as a rest day that's why I called up my secretary early this morning that I'm doing a business meeting online. It may not sound like myself but I lately realize that there are meetings that can be successfully done via email or a live stream. It saves a lot, especially time. Buying time these past few days is difficult. My mind's floating and it spaces out suddenly.

Alright, to put it straight, I am bothered. I have doubts. Could it be that I am mad as well? Nah. I'm missing Gael so much it hurts. I've been trying to reach out since yesterday but he's just keeping me at bay. Ganito pala ang feeling ng nasi-seen zone. It makes you shrink. Nakakapraning eh. What on earth is he doing on Scotland that he can't even type even just a simple hello for a reply? Sa pagkakaalam ko naman eh rest day niya ngayon.

A soft knock startled me. "Baby?" It's dad. "Sabi ko na nandito ka pa eh. Your mom doesn't believe me. Hindi ka papasok sa office?"

"I'm taking a day off dad. Masakit ang ulo ko."

Dad entered my room and sat on the edge of my bed. "But, what's with the corporate look?"

"I'll be doing an online meeting with clients in a few minutes po."

Dad looked around and saw my study area. "Oh. That explains the set up."

"Yeah. Anyway, anything else that you wanna tell me?"

"Oh that. Yeah. RJ is at the living room. What will I tell him? He said he can't reach your phone."

"I planned to call back after the meeting po sana. Is he with his brother?"

Daddy smiled. I knew he's so fond of that kid. "Yup. He's looking for you too."

"Naniningil yun."

"Huh? Bakit naman naniningil?"

"Di ko nalang sasabihin in detail dad basta it's about a game."

He chuckled, "Cute." He got up and patted my head just like he used to, "Good luck on that meeting and follow me right away. Hindi ka nagbreakfast. Do you want anything in particular for your snacks?"

I shook my head and smiled at my dear father. "Huwag na po, dad. I'm going to bring them outside. Part of a deal."

"Oh. Haha kids these days. Osya, I'l leave na. Fighting!"

"Hahaha! Thanks dad."

"Ate Zoe, we're really going to EK today?!"

"Yes, baby."

"Yohoo! You're the best! Kuya said that you're probably going to treat me to Time Zone. I didn't expect na sa EK po. I'm just so happy! Thank you, Ate Zoe!" Rhys hugged me. He's a sweet kid. He looks a lot like RJ.

"Di mo man lang ako in-orient na sa Laguna pala ang lakad natin. Why a sudden change of mind?"

"It's not sudden. Kagabi ko pa yan inisip.

"Yet you didn't tell me."

"So are we going to talk about this or we'll get inside the car na? Baka naman gusto mong magpaiwan nalang? Okay lang din."

"Grabe naman to." He snatched the key from me. "Ako lang ang magdadrive."

"Ako na. We're using my car so l'll drive."

He opened the door to the passenger seat and signalled me to get in. "Get in, grumpy lady." His brother ran to the car and quickly hopped in the backseat. "C'mon. Let's do something about that attitude."
