There's something in their features I couldn't name out loud. Even in just a single glance you could already tell the elegance and the regal atmosphere in the picture. Luna has the identical unwavering features, albeit rowdy when you witness her in person, in spite of that, you'd still feel small because of how intimidating she presents herself.

Carreons are indeed crazy rich--- the ones who have been building empires for centuries; ancient and eminent. So why did she settle here in El Conde instead of attending different business parties in Asia? She has all the wealth and social prestiges so why? She's from an elite descent, I can't believe it. It tasted like gold fortune in my tongue, and weird. The more I indulge myself into the never-ending curiosity, the more I become interested in plunging myself into the rabbit hole. It's not a good sign, though.

I stopped fiddling my phone when it dawned on me. Despite all of her bad reputations and scandals, she wouldn't be known for her disgraces. Bakit nga ba? Of course, she has a whole clan to protect those minor inconveniences. She has the power to manipulate everything. She won't mind lifting a finger on you. These social hierarchies are making my nape palpitate. 

It's so fucking unfair. That's power to you, and power is something achievable by few.

My mind was in chaotic disarray when Tito Filimon entered his office. "So who's this girl you're talking about?" Pinutol ko ang aking paningin galing sa screen at umayos ng upo.

"Luna Carreon, Tito."

Tumaas ang kaniyang kilay. "May natanggap ka na bang sagot galing sa kaniya?"

I shook my head defeatedly. "Wala pa po, but I’ll check again…" 

The strong urge to avert my eyes was evident. I felt nothing but brimming shame. This is the only thing I could repay him from his good deeds but I failed. Alam ko naman na ayos lang sa kaniya, marami pa namang pagkakataon, pero hindi pa rin mawawala ang hiya. Ako pa naman ang nagpumilit na gawin ito. Sol, you fool!

"Paano 'yan, ilang araw na lang? Ilan ba ang minessage mo?"

"Siya lang po." I was too busy with the University and my side lines that I couldn't exert more effort to the given task. 

And from what I recently researched, I think she won't be needing my offer. Unless music is her line of passion. Which I highly doubt since her Instagram was filled with her modeling shoots. I don't know. I declined some negative part of me to assume. 

"Eh kasalanan mo naman pala, bakit isa lang? Dapat madami. Dapat madiskarte ka. Ako noon hangga't kaya ko, wala akong sinasayang na oras," malumanay niyang sinabi. He sat promptly after on his swivel chair. I could see his receding hairline from here.

I sheepishly scratched the tip of my nose. "I'm sorry po, Tito. Babawi po ako." Kasalanan ko rin naman talaga. 

There were rumors that I am the one to inherit his recording company after he perishes because he still hasn't bore a child on his own. The ever single Filimon Chang is willing to give his business to me. At first, I was purely delighted. But then, business and leadership are not my expertise. I don't want to believe it but it's most likely to happen. Besides, wala pa naman siyang sinasabi. I won't conclude anything yet.
