      Karylle had already called the front desk of the hotel to let them know na she will be staying at VIP suite 7.  Tumawag na din siya to request a meal tray for her dinner. She decided na mag stay muna sa hotel because she needed some time for herself.  She needed to be alone. Wala din siya time to discuss matters with her mom regarding Isabelle's  plans for pairing her up with eligible bachelors. And besides, her mom will be able to pick up her depressed mood and kukulitin lang siya nito until she talks about her issues. Kay does not have the energy for that right now. Sinabihan na ni Karylle si Anne to tell her mom na she will be staying at the hotel because she was waiting for an overseas business call from the US in her office.

        Karylle just got back from her office one floor down and got her bag, laptop and a few pieces of clothing na isusuot niya bukas. Her office downstairs is equipped with a cabinet na may ilang damit mostly business suit in cases of emergency kung kinailangan niya magpalit ng damit or if may biglaan na travel plans. Kumpleto ang cabinet na ito ng mga gamit niya from business attire to lingerie, undergarments, shoes at pati ilang accessories. Parang mini apartment yung office niya kulang na lang bed na pwede niya higaan.  Nasa hotel naman siya kaya di na niya ito dinagdag na feature sa opisina niya.

     She decided to take a quick shower before her dinner tray comes. Nalaman din niya from the front  desk personnel na may nakapulot sa cellphone niya sa hallway ng second floor where the huge conference rooms are. 'I must have dropped it kanina while I was running towards the private elevators. I was wondering where it was although I knew I dropped it somewhere.'

  =====================================

     Vice went inside VIP suite 6 and thanked the hotel bellboy.  He decided to take a shower first before seeing Karylle. He had a long day and he needed it. Kailangan niya magpalit ng damit.  Buti na lang he brought with him his weekender bag na may extra pair of clothing and toiletries inside.

     It was just pure luck na he overheard one of the girls sa front desk kausap si Karylle. Nasa VIP suite 7 si Kay which is the room just across from his own room. He never intended to eavesdrop but he welcomed the information kasi kailangan niya talagang makausap si Kay para makapag-explain sa nangyari kanina.  Ayaw ni Vice na mamis-understand ni Karylle ang nangyari kanina.

====================================

     Karylle heard the doorbell ring as she just got out of the bathroom. She donned a bathrobe and covered her wet hair with a towel. 'It must be my dinner tray,' sabi pa ni Karylle. Binuksan na niya ang pintuan sa kanyang kwarto at pinapasok ang server na babae.  Nilagay ng server sa isang corner ng room malapit sa isang table ang isang trolley na dala ang kanyang late dinner meal, a fruit tray, some cheese and wine. Ini-abot din sa kanya ang kanyang naiwan na cellphone then waited for further instructions from Karylle.

Karylle  :  That is all for tonight. Thank you.

     Karylle opened the door to let the server out then slowly closed it. Ni lock pa niya ito.   Pabalik na sana sa loob ng kanyang kwarto si Kay ng biglang narinig na naman niya na tumunog ang doorbell. 'Did she forget something? '

     She opened the door to her room once again and at that very moment Vice pushed his way inside her room.  She could smell Vice's light perfume as he almost collided with her. Or was it scented soap? She noticed Vice just had a shower kasi it looks like basa pa ang buhok nito.  She stepped back while Vice closed the door behind him.

     Karylle turned around to get away from him na parang nagtatampo but Vice gently grabbed her arm and pulled her back towards him.

Vice  :   Karylle, please. I'm sorry if I'm doing this. Just please give me just a few minutes to explain. Alam ko ayaw mo akong makita but please give me a chance to explain.
