The ringing phone is loud enough to wake her. She twitched as her head vibrated in pain. What is this headache.
Her eyes flung open as she reached for her bedside for her phone.
Wait. What room is this?
She thought as she glance around.
She sat up immediately. She is alone in the room. From the bathroom somewhere around, she can hear water running.
Wait. What?
She glanced down at her body and then it clicked.
Goodness! She has slept with someone she does not even know?
She sprang up immediately.
The ringing phone has now stopped only to start ringing again. She quickly wore her clothes and grabbed her bag by the bedside. She ran out of the room.
Not until she got into her car did she remember to breathe.
She sighed in relief.
She check her bag and there is her phone and credit card. She checked her phone and realized she had put it on airplane mode the night before.
Her head was full last night and she did not want any disturbance.
She turned on the ignition and started driving out of the bar.

Chris came out of the bathroom to find an empty bed.
Oh. She's gone.
He glance at where she was laying minutes ago before he went to ease himself.
Why would she go away? They did not even have any conversation.
He also needs to go home to prepare for work today. He will be starting work at his father's company.
He wore his shoes and adjusted in front of the mirror. He was about leaving the room when he caught sight of a blue bracelet on the bed.
Oh. That must be hers.
He glance at it and took it putting it in his trouser pocket.

The drive home is restless for prisca. Her mind keeps replaying all that happened the night before.
Goodness. How did she even end up in his bed.
She remembered going into the bar and ordering few bottles of beer. Wait, did she just think they were few?
She ordered almost ten bottles of beer in general, she was sure.
She drank several bottles of beer and lost consciousnesses. Oh goodness.
What was she even thinking? She did not even have a bad day the day before. And thinking of her encounter with Clara, she feels her hands clenching on the steering.
That devil!
Who was that man he had slept with? She does not even remember his face. Who the hell is he?
She hopes she never get to see him again.
She glance at her phone and remembered something. Her phone is on Airplane mode.
She had been so pissed yesterday that she decided she does not want any distraction. Who knows what could have happened?
She took the phone with her left hand and turned off the Airplane mode.
She scrolled and found eight missed calls. Seriously?
Six calls from Alicia and two from Joe , her HR.
She dialed Alicia's number immediately.
“Hey” she called as soon as Alicia picked the call.
“Prisca?” Alicia said immediately.
“I thought you had fainted too. For goodness sake where do you keep your phone since last night?” Alicia shrieked.
“Oh, I'm sorry, something came up. What happened?” Prisca lied.
“Mom fell and fainted. She has come around though” Alicia replied rather silently. Prisca's eyes widened.
“what? What happened?” Prisca asked.
“Dunno. I came back home to find her sprawled on the ground. She is now stable. Just said I should inform you “ prisca said.
“Okay, please extend my greetings to her. I will facetime her soon” prisca said and Brenda cut the call.
Goodness! She doesn't know what she would have done if she lost her mother.
This is why she hates putting her phone on Airplane mode. Thank goodness though.
She focused back on the road. Joe's call can wait for later.
#At the Declan's mansion
Chris arrives home just as his father's car went the other day. He can see it from the distance. He drove into the compound.
He might have dodged his father but he knows he now has his mother to contend with. His mother will again bore him with lessons on responsibility and good morals.
He scofs as he thinks about it.
He alight from the car and look around. The maids has done a good job as usual.
First, he needs a cold shower to cool his body. He thought as he entered the house.

#At an unknown destination
“ How is the task going?” The deep voice is hard to miss as the listener struggled with his words.
“Actually…. Sir… I am trying to gain access into the company but they don't need a worker for now” Another voice said.
“I see. But I hope you realize you don't have much time. I want this done soon” if there is something different about the deep voice, it is the firmness.
“Of course, sir. I am on it” the second voice said again.
The first man nodded as he took his telephone and dialed the secretary's number.
“One bottle of whiskey please “ he said into the phone.
Somewhere in the corner of his eyes, a very dark stare is very hard to miss.
