(Zach's POV)
When I heard the door closed, I directly put the book at the center table and took my phone to dial Tiffany.
I should have done this earlier but that weird actress came here for the second time.
[H-hello?] I heard Tiffany's voice on the other line.
"Hey, how are you?"
[A-ah, I'm good.]
"You sure? You sound like a sick person."
[H-hindi, inuubo lang a-ako nang kaunti, pero okay l-lang a-a-ko.]
"Eh, ba't parang hinihingal ka? Tumatakbo ka ba?"
[Hindi noh, Haha ah!]
"Hey, what was that? Seriously Tiffany I'm starting to get worried."
[Hindi, hindi. Y-yung aso kasi namin, nakikipaglaro s-sakin.]
"Aso? May aso kayo?"
[A-ah, yes. Binili ni mama pang guwardiyaah.]
I don't know, but for me she really sounds like a sick person. The way she speaks, it feels like there's something.
"Maamo bayan?"
[Oo,ooh!]
"Okay, make sure it doesn't bite."
[Nangangagat siya, actually. P-pero don't worry, p-pili lang yung kinakagat niyaah.]
"O-okay? But anyways, I have something to tell you."
[Ano yun?]
"They're going to intro--"
[Aaahray!]
"Hey? Anong aray? What happened?" Nag-aalala kong tanong.
[Sorry, ang kulit ng aso. Pwede bukas nalang? Ako na tatawag. Goodnight,
bye.]
Bago pa man ako makasagot agad niya na pinatay yung tawag. I think there's something wrong with her.
Naglakad nalang ako papuntang kwarto para matulog. Pero ilang oras na ata ang nakalipas hindi pa ako inaantok. Hindi ata ako makatulog dahil kay Tiffany. Okay na ba siya? Ano ba kasing nangyayari kanina sa kanya? Pinagpatuloy ko lang ang pagtingin sa kisame hanggang sa dinalaw na ako ng antok.

I woke up when I heard my phone keeps on vibrating. I reached my phone from the side table while still lying and answered the call.
[Hello sir? Nasaan ka na po? Kanina pa po sila naghihintay sayo, they're asking po if you're still going to attend the meeting.]
Agad naman ako nabuhayan sa sinabi ng secretary ko. Tumingin naman ako sa orasan.
"Shit! I'm late."
[Ano ho sir?]
"Just tell them to start already, and I'll catch up. I'll be there in five minutes."
[Noted sir.]
"Wait, maybe ten minutes will do."
[Okay sir.] Agad naman akong naglakad papuntang C.R. para maligo. I need to hurry up.
