20 Ava: “I beg your pardon?” I was about to drink a glass of water. Here I was, meeting Kendreik in this fancy restaurant he called me earlier and quoted that this is a very urgent thing. Is that so, huh? And who’s she? Her eyes were swollen like the two just had a fight. Ano bang gustong mangyari ni Kendreik ngayon? He just called me abruptly when I was in the middle of my conference just to see him consoling his red-headed woman? “This is Magnelyn Fords. She hopes to find a job in your good office—just for the mean time that she’s here though. Right, Magnelyn?” Oh, really? Is that all? And yet, I was unknowingly arching my brows like I smell something fishy between the two. Why doesn’t he just spill it out? Hah! Remember the rules, Ava? Damn.. Don’t
