Grant's Revenge

Chapter 53

Jen

Everything is back to normal. I and Grant will be staying back in the island. To the place she promised me that we will be raising our own family.

Samantha is currently undergoing a talk therapy with Leigh. So is Candice. Ipinilit iyon ni Grant dahil kailangan daw makarecover nung dalawa dahil sa nangyari sa last mission ng mga ito kung saan nakapatay si Sammie at Candice. It takes toll on Sam's conscience lalo pa at devoted nga ito in saving lives. While Candice? Leigh just dismissed her. She had recovered fast. Pero ginagawa pa din itong kakwentuhan ni Leigh because of her sociopathy symptoms.

Mas madalas na magkakasama sina Candice, Terry, at Van. Mukhang may itinuturo si Candice sa mga ito. Samantalang yung dalawa naman ay tinuturuan magtagalog si Candice. Though Candice already enrolled in a crash filipino class.

Alliston went back to Australia. Aria and Corinne is already taking over Calvry's businesses dahil nakabakasyon daw si Ate Louella. Alice and Railey just went back from London matapos kumalat yung blind item ni Hariette sexually assaulting, verbally and physically, a minor, tapos babae pa. Actually, hindi naman pinangalanan si Hariette, but it was obvious na ito yung tinutukoy doon.

Railey was fuming mad at the publication. But Hariette calmed her down na wag ng palakihin yung gulo. But the next day? The publication had declared bankruptcy and closed down. Grant's idea to do Hariette a favor and also to protect Candice's interest.

We all think it's Alliston's doing dahil nag-away pa sina Hariette at Alli bago umalis papuntang Australia si Alli. That was weird, really.

"Alam mo Ate Van, Everyone's entitled to act stupid once in awhile, but you really abuse the privilege."

Nasamid yata ako at how blunt Candice is while talking to the other girls. Wala talaga itong preno at respeto minsan.

Tinuturuan kasi ni Candice sina Terry kung paano maglaro ng dart. Pero ni isa, wala talagang naipatama sa dart board si Vanilla. Kaya iritang irita na dito si Candice.

While Grant, Sammie, and Leigh were all just talking about Sam's and Candice's therapy improvements. We were using Rail's unit for the meantime habang nandito pa kami sa city.

"Ang hirap kasi. Ang layo layo o." Reklamo pa ni Vanilla. "Can't we take a little bit closer?"

"Tanga mo naman kasi talaga, Van. Madali lang naman. Ibabato mo lang naman doon sa bilog." Sabi pa ni Terry.

"E hindi ko nga kaya!"

Tiningnan lang ni Candice yung dalawa na para bang sinaniban ng ligaw na mga kaluluwa ng mga bata.

Inakbayan pa ni Candice si Vanilla. "Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than open it and remove their doubt."

Fudge! That was so rude!

"But Leigh told me to be just myself. I am best when I am being myself."Tila nagmamaktol na bata si Van na hindi man lang na-offend sa sinabi ni Candice.

"Oh, Just ignore it. Do yourself a favor. Kasi on your case, it's really a bad idea." Umiling-iling pa si Candice.

Si Terry naman ay tawang-tawa doon kaya sinamaan ito ng tingin ni Vanilla.

"Ang sama nyong dalawa!"

"I'm just kidding." Ngumiti na si Candice kay Van. "Actually Ate Van, whenever you're not talking, you're giving an intimidating aura. Here's the tip to become an overpowering Top."

"Talaga? Ano yan?"

"Whenever you're talking to Ate Leigh, narrow your words with just minimal ones. Just opt to say Yes or No. Maybe or perhaps. Basta just always make your sentence short. She's an overthinker when it's about you."
