I've waited for it as she says something that made everyone gasped in surprise. It involves her plan for the future of taking over their family legacy. Akala daw nila wala siyang balak mag-preside sa main office ng Delta Security Agency. It is one of the leading security agencies in the country.

I don't mind at all. Wala namang problema sa akin. Ang mahalaga, mahanap ko si Joya. Kung nagtatago man siya, may kumuha sa kanya or kung nasaan man siya, I'll definitely find her. By hook or by crook.

"It's a deal, then." She said merrily. She even urge me to sign that agreement she made stating that I'll fulfill my promise at any cost, no matter what. Malinaw ang enclosure ng kontrata, I have to help her convinced the board of directors using my ability to read their minds.

While waiting for Dionne na nagpaalam para tawagan ang Uncle Jess niya na isang PI, sinamantala naman iyon ng apat niyang kaibigan para batuhin ako ng kung ano-anong tanong na ewan ko kung saan nila pinagpupulot. I suddenly missed Joya's weird questions too.

Even Shaza excused herself to ask for help from Saul Ramirez, her husband, who happens to be the BCA's administrator. He might help speed up the investigation.

"Can you read what's on Ivana's mind, right now?" Bulong ni Jem nang tumabi sa akin. I guess, she got really curious as to how I found out about her secret. Gusto niya akong subukan. Ivana's been busy doting something on her phone.

"Must be asking some random guy on her list of friends or followers for a meet up...or hook up, 80% probability." I explained while observing Ivana's eyes and facial expression at the moment.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Cleofe kaya hinablot niya ang phone ni Ivana to confirm if my hunch is right.

"Wow! You're chatting Isaiah Del Mundo?"

"What the! Give me back my phone-"

"What?"

"The who?"

"Isaiah Del Mundo? As in that Isaiah na hottest bachelor in town?"

"Yong babaerong womanizer na Aaaaapakaraming flings." Pinigil kong matawa sa sinabi ni Cleofe. Pare-pareho lang 'yon. Naging redundant tuloy.


Nagkaroon ng kaunting kaguluhan. Hinawakan pa ni Cleofe at Jem sa magkabilang braso si Ivana para lang hindi maagaw ang phone mula kay Jem na ngayon ay nagba-back read na ng chat convo.

Kaya wala siyang nagawa kundi ang mapa-roll eyes lalo na nang sinimulang basahin ni Jem iyon, a bit louder for everyone to hear.
