Sam's POV

Mr. Del Fuero's brow creases in confusions while gazing at me and then to the still glaring Enriquez.

"Kilala mo ang tarantadong 'to?" Naguguluhan nitong tanong sa'kin, causing Enriquez to growl at that

Yes. No.

Kahit gusto kong magtago muna and let them finish their spat, I think wala na'kong magagawa ngayon but to answer him.

"Not really. I just accidentally met him---"

"Nung naninilip ka sa cr ng mga lalaki."

My eyes narrowed into pinprick at Enriquez' way when he snapped that.

This s**t! He really think na nambubuso ako ng mga oras na yon!

"I am not, Mr. Enriquez! Hindi naman ako maniac para mambuso! Ang tindi mo naman talaga kung mambintang ano?! Bakit? Nakita mo bang sinisilip ko 'yang sa'yo?? I didn't right?! " Galit ko ng bulyaw rito.

He just raised his dark brow while studying me with his laser stares and then looked at Mr. Del Fuero saka tumango-tango after a few seconds, as if he understood something that I didn't know.

"Kung hindi ka nambubuso then I think alam ko na kung anong ginagawa mo dun..." He said, shifting his dark laser stares at me.

My brows furrowed at that, mas lalo Kay Mr. Del Fuero na nanatili paring nakatingin saming dalawa with confused look in his eyes.

"You're trying to spy on me that time, woman.."

"I what??" I snapped in disbelief.

"You' were spying on me because Cameron, your man, tells you to.."

This time, my eyes were almost ready to fall off from its darn sockets, gaping at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world.

Is he out of his mind? My man??

"SHE iS NOT MY WOMAN!"

"And this bastard would never be my man!"

When I seconded that, Mr. del Fuero groaned and glared at my way.

Well, as if I can't deny that as well!

Enriquez just shrugged his shoulder and pocketed his hands with him.

"Whatever, Cameron. Just make sure that the next time you'll order your 'woman', gagawin na niya ng maayos ang trabaho niya. Such a shame for you.."He sarcastically said before he took his leave, making sure to give me a sarcastic smile on his way.

My hands balled into tight fists while following him with blazing eyes. If looks could just kill, nasa menteryo na sana ang gagong 'yon!

Noon, he was accusing me na naninilip rito and now? Spying him as Mr. Del Fuero's woman??? Just wow! I should've punch that man while I still have the chance before!

"Care to explain what he was talking about, Ms. Javier?"

I groaned when I heard him talked na 'di ko man lang namalayang nasa tabi ko na, looking me closely with suspiscion in his eyes.

oh yeah. Kailangan ko pa palang magpaliwanag sa kanya.

Sighing out, I turned to face him.

"Hindi ko 'yon sinasadya okay? Sinunsundan ko lang si Frederico that time and I--"

"And you chose to hide in the men's toilet where that bastard was 'accidentally' present at that time. Ganun ba, Ms. Javier??"

My scalp suddenly prickled at his sarcastic tone, making it sound na sinadya kong mangyari 'yon! This bastard!

"Unfortunately, yes. Dahil hindi ko naman alam na nandun ang gagong 'yon. I was busy gathering infos for my case that time and I just happened to hide there without even knowing it was the men's toilet,!"

"Akala ko ba magaling ka, Ms. Javier? You should've done your last case carefully without that bastard catching you at mas lalong ginawa mo sana ng maayos ang trabaho mo as my P.I. nang hindi matunugan ng ECC ang mga plano ko!" he hissed with pursed lips, just enough for me to hear it clearly given na may mga tao sa paligid.

Mas lalo pang uminit ang ulo ko as my glare became deadly just hearing that.

How dare he insult me!

"I even take your advice na magpanggap ka bilang assistant ko para hindi nila malamang nagtatrabaho ka sa'kin and then malalaman ko nalang na kilala kana ng taong 'yon??What the hell, Ms. Javier!"

"Well, I'm sorry!"

Agad na dumilim ang mukha nito when I snapped that, not minding if people were starting to throw us a prying look now. But who cares! This man was just trying to let out the beast side of me!

"Kung hindi mo lang sana ako isinama rito then none of these would've happen. Enriquez wouldn't have seen me here and even stupidly suspect me that I am spying him! But thickheaded as you are, isinama mo parin ako rito kahit ayoko and now, sisisihin mo'ko tungkol dun? Hindi ko rin naman sinabing kunin mo'ko as your P.I., Mr. Del Fuero. At mas hindi ko rin naman kasalanang traydurin ka ng sarili mong sekretarya!" I spat in short breath, so annoyed with him.

His eyes suddenly widened at that revelation.

"Mrs. Diwane?"

"Oo. Siya nga 'yon. At sa tinagal-tagal na niyang nagtatrabaho sa'yo, talagang hindi mo pa alam kung anong kagaguhan ang ginagawa nito."

"But then you haven't told me about it at ngayon kailangan kong ayusin ang 'palpak' mong trabaho." Galit pa nitong sagot, making sure to say it with emphasis.

I groaned in frustrations when he said that. Oh Gods. Ba't ko pa ba nakilala ang taong 'to? My life should've been peaceful if I didn't even get to meet this s**t!

Yes. Pumalpak nga 'ko. If not with my own investigation, mas nabantayan ko pa sana ng mabuti ang babaeng 'yon..

"Okay. I admit it. Pumalpak nga 'ko and if you want, pwede mo naman akong tanggalin, Mr. Del Fuero."

His jaw twitched at that while his eyes turned more sharp, staring at me like he was trying to pierce my soul.

Hindi agad ito umimik and just continued staring at me under his scrutinizing and murderous stare.

Crossing my arms against my chest, I fixated my eyes in his own.

Then the staring contest begin!

But after a few seconds, I noticed his lips pursed in thin line saka sya huminga ng malalim.

"You know what?" He growled out after our short staring contest.

"What thickhead?"

His lips instantly formed into thinnest line with that.

"You.can. leave. now." He slowly hissed with emphasis then with that, he whirled around and headed to the exit, leaving me frozen on my feet with brows creased in confusion.

'LEAVE?? As in forever?....'

Ano bang ibig sabihin nya? Am I finally fired?

Ask him, Sam. Ask him for confirmation!

When my mind commented that, I gave it no more thought and just ran outside for him.

"Mr. Del Fuero, wait!!" I called out at him pagkalabas ko pa lang.

But the bastard didn't even gave me a glance at nagpatuloy lang sa paglalakad, walking like he was ready to attack anyone on his way.

Shaking my head, mas binilisan ko na lamang ang takbo ko. Mahirap ng makaalis sya dito nang Hindi man lang nya ako binibigyan ng malinaw na sagot.

And good thing that before he could open his car door, naabutan ko na sya.

"Mr. Del Fuero, can you please give me a clear answer? Tanggal na ba ako o ano?" I asked him with short breath which caused him to stop opening the car door and turned to me with a glare.

"Hindi mo ba 'ko narinig, Ms. Javier? Ang sabi ko umalis ka na at hindi para habulin mo pa'ko and waste my--"

"Waste your f*****g diamond. Yeah,yeah. I know but I don't care! I want your answer now! Right now and here! Am I finally fired now and no longer your P.I.?"

He just growled out at that and then opened his car door to get in.

But before he could do so, I quickly held the car door and stop it, dahilan para tumingin ito sa'kin ng patalim.

"Hindi mo ba ko naririnig???! Tanggal na ba ako---aw!" I yelped when he suddenly pulled the car door mula sa pagkakahawak ko and then locked it saka pinaharurot ang sasakyan nito. Leaving me trembled in annoyance while eating the earthy dusts.

"That s**t! hindi man lang ako binigyan ng sagot!" Galit na lamang na naibulong ko sa sarili as I followed his car with a glare.

Well, kung ayaw niya 'kong bigyan ng malinaw na sagot, I guess I have to answer myself then.

"Yes, Sam. You're fired! You're finally fired! Congratulations!"

I happily exclaimed, dahilan para magsitinginan sa'kin ang ilang tao na nandoon. Looking at me like I was out of my mind.

Oh! To hell with them. As long as I'm free to investigate my own case now without Cameron del Fuero in my life, I'm definitely fine!

With a triumphant grin on my face, I quickly hailed a taxi to DFCS and fetched my own car there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inayos ko muna ang sintas ng sapatos ko before taking a quick look at myself in the mirror.

Ponytailed hair, Slightly loose white shirt and black leggings. I think I'm ready to start my day now. I stretched my legs and arms first right in front of the mirror before I headed to the refrigerator at the corner for some water. I took out a bottle of water and then headed to my dining table where a few dusty old newspapers I brought with me from our old house sat there.

Hindi ko na natapos tignan ito. But since I have free times now, maybe I could read this later.

'Babae, natagpuang patay sa loob ng isang hotel suite.. '

When I read that headlines, I shook my head at that.

So dad really loved reading these kind of news before..

Sighing out, I placed down the water bottle beside those newspapers before I came out from my apartment saka naglakad papunta sa gilid ng daan patungo sa park.

With me sleeping so early last night, maaga rin akong nagising this morning. Kahit hindi na'ko papasok sa DFCS, may mga bagay parin akong dapat asikasuhin. To sat idly in the corner isn't my cup of tea.

Once nasa gilid na'ko ng daan, I plugged the headset in my ears then started jogging.

Six in the morning pa lamang so hindi pa mainit ang panahon at konti pa lamang ang mga dumadaang sasakyan. And I think busy ang mga tao ngayon dahil mangilan-ngilan pa lang ang mga nag-jojog ngayon.

But it's okay. Wala naman akong ibang gustong icollect ngayon but just that file alone.

Ano ba kasing nasa loob ng file na'yon? Is it that so important para pumatay sila ng tao? At kung hindi pa' yon nabibigay ni dad sa kaibigan nito, then saang lugar ko pa ba pwedeng hanapin 'yon? Kailangan ko pa bang bumalik sa lumang bahay namin at halughugin ang bawat sulok ng lugar na 'yon just to find that thing?

Just thinking about that makes me all stressed out kahit maaga palang. Natatanaw ko na ang park with few people running around. Shaking my head, I quickly crossed the street na papunta sa park with my mind still thinking about that bloody file.

Where on earth should I go today and start digging things up? Hindi naman---

I suddenly stopped with my thoughts when I heard a loud revving of a car engine. With creased brows, I turned to my right and then my eyes swiftly widened when a raging car running to my way.

My breathing suddenly halted as my foot stayed glued to the ground while staring at the approaching black car with wide shocked eyes. Feeling like my common sense suddenly jumped out of the f*****g window! I guess a house without windows would be perfect next time.

Move now, Sam! Move, damn it! You're not going to die dahil lang dito! Move your perfect and sexy ass now!

And I think that words pulled me out from my frozen state since it made me think straight and before the car could hit me, I jumped out and rolled over to the side of the street. I grunted when I unfortunately landed to the hard surface of the walkway.

"Oh s**t!" I cursed out under my breath as I tightly clutched my arm. The same arm that I had recently injured during Frederico's case.. Feeling like my bones were more dislocated now.

Not minding the pain, tatayo na sana ako to run after that damn car but stopped and grunted more when my left foot hurt like hell as well!

"Bweset!!" I cursed out again when I can't even do that.

With hate, my gaze just followed that car na mabilis ng humarurot palayo sa'kin.

Wala itong plaka and I hadn't even get to catch the driver's face because of its tinted windows. In just a few seconds, that car disappeared out of my sight. Obviously running away from me and from their responsibility.

That bastard!

With gritted teeth, I forced myself to stand up while hissing in pain, feeling like a thousand--- I mean a hundred needles were pricking into my muscles.

Oh s**t! Ke aga-aga, minamalas na'----

"Miss!"

Still hissing in pain, I turned to where that voice came from and found a woman with same outfit like mine na dali-dali ng lumapit sa'kin with worried look.

"Oh my God! Anong nangyari sa'yo?" Taranta nitong tanong sa'kin nang makalapit ito saka nya'ko inalalayang makatayo.

Buti nalang may good samarithan pa sa panahong 'to. I should have been a sorry ass while trying to stand on my own.

"Nadapa lang ako.."dahil sa katangahan ko.

I want to add that pero pinili ko nalang na tumahimik before I make a fool of myself. Again.

"Kailangan mong madala sa hospital. miss. I'll call an ambulance now since wala pang taxing dumadaan dito.." Then without giving me a chance to say no, she quickly dialed up a hotline on her phone.

Seeing that I've got no other choice now but to go to the hospital, I blew out a sigh.

It didn't took long for the ambulance to come. Hindi na sumama sa'kin 'yong babae. But before the ambulance could even leave, I quickly bid my thank you to her. She just smiled and nodded. Kahit ayoko sanang pumunta sa hospital, I think mas okay na rin 'yon to heal quickly.

UNKNOWN POV

"Nagawa mo ba ng maayos ang pinagagawa ko sa'yo?" Asked by the man standing near the floor to ceiling glass window with his cane on his right hand, supporting his weight.

The wrinkles on his face reveals his age. His white hair was the opposite of his facial expression right now while studying the man before him.

"I-I'm sorry, sir. Nakailag po---"

"What??!" Galit na nitong putol sa iba pang sasabihin ng lalaki with fear visible on his face. He should really be because his boss never accept failures.

"Isang babae lang ang pinapaligpit ko sa'yo pero hindi mo pa rin nagawa??"

The man swallowed hard as his body became stiffed while trying to look at his boss. For almost 20 years of being his personal assistant, hindi pa rin ito nasasanay dito lalo na't sa tuwing nagagalit ito. Dahil sa utang na loob nito sa boss nitp, he had done everything he had asked him to do. Even helping him to end his enemies , he'd do that. And now, he failed to kill the new obstacle on his way na matagal na sanang nawala if he just let him kill her ten years ago.

Samantha Romero.

Just thinking her name made him clenched his hands. That b***h really make his blood boiled up in rage.

"Alam mo naman sigurong magiging malaking balakid ang babaeng 'yon pero hindi mo pa rin magawang iligpit ang lintik na babaeng 'yon! Ano bang meron sa kanya na hindi mamatay-matay agad?" His boss angrily stated while walking towards his table. With his pursed lips and tight grip on his cane, halatang nagpupuyos ito sa galit kaya mas minabuti na lamang niyang sagutin ito ng maayos.

"She's not an ordinary woman sir. Alam nating matinik siyang imbestigador so it was expected na mahihirapan tayo sa kanya lalo na't nagtatrabaho pala ito sa DFCS---"

"Then you can just kill that Cameron del Fuero para matapos na ang problema natin!". Pasigaw na putol nito sabay upo sa upuan nito.

"Alam naman nating mahirap patumbahin ang taong yon, sir. Matagal na nating pinagpaplanohan 'yon pero may pagkasapusa yata ang taong ---"

"Enough with excuses!"

His mouth snapped shut when he shouted that, smacking the table on the process. He swallowed hard again when he saw his evil-like eyes.

"Gawin mo ang kailangan mong gawin tonto! Kung makikialam ang tarantadong Cameron na 'yon, then kill him! We have killed one Del Fuero before so killing the last one is just a piece of cake!"

Hearing his boss said that, he quickly nodded his head in agreement. Mas madali na nga ngayon if Del Fuero will ever try to meddle with that woman.

"Noted, sir."

He groaned and just stared at him for awhile, pero mga ilang sandali lang, he waved off his hands.

"Leave now. Siguraduhin mong magagawan mo ng solusyon ang kapalpakan mo!".

With that being said, he nodded then took his leave. Mas mabuti ng umalis before he'll lashed at him or even punish his failed attempt to kill that woman.

Just you wait, Ms. Romero. Before you know it, mawawala na 'yang pinakamamahal mong bahay after I kill you..

-------------------

SAM'S POV

"Hindi ka dapat nakikipagbasagan ng ulo, Samantha. Hindi yan gawain ng isang babae.."

I scowled when I heard him called me by my first name. He was just treating my bruised knuckles now, applying ointment onto it inside his study room.

"Stop calling me with that name, dad. It's Sam, ok--aw!" I cried out when he put some pressure to my knuckles. Probably making fun of me, dahilan para mapasimangot ako.

And when I heard him chuckled, my eyes glared at him.

"Oh see? Yon pa nga lang, umiiyak ka na, Samantha. So don't even think that you're not a girl, okay? That name suits you better."

My scowl deepened at that. He could really be bloody persistent if he want. Kakauwi ko lang from school or shall I say, sa pakikipagrambolan?

A triumphant smile appeared on my face just thinking about those faces I've rearranged today. Good thing mom wasn't home yet and only dad was here. I could've been in deep s**t by now.

Sighing, I just observed him bandaging my bruised hands.

"Bakit ba naman kasi nakikipagbasagan ka na naman ng ulo sa mga batang 'yon, Samantha? Buti nalang hindi malala 'tong nangyari sa'yo. You'd definitely be grounded for a week once your mom found this out." He stated while still bandaging my whole right hand.

I smirked and just hugged his arm.

"I would really be kung sasabihin mo sa kanya, dad buy you won't right?" I asked with batted lashes.

He just groaned then shook his head but I know, he won't.

"Right, dad?" I asked again with hopeful doe eyes.

Seeing my face, he laughed, still shaking his head.

"Quit with that funny look, Samantha. It doesn't suit you." Saad nya while still laughing at me.

With that, I joined him with his laugh.

Damn. That's why I love him that much.

"The next time you'd encounter those bullies, instead of breaking your knuckles, just hit them where the sun doesn't shine, Samantha dahil dun nakatago ang kahinaan nila. Remember that.."

"I know dad...That was maybe why you've kept a book with that same title, right? So I'd never forget about it?" I answered while grinning at him sheepishly.

"Just make sure to keep that book well, okay? Never lose it or even torn a single page of it. Remember that okay?"

Though I don't know why he wanted me to keep that book like a treasure, I just smiled and nodded at him.

"Ms. Javier?"

My eyes fluttered open when I heard that. And I was greeted with a smiling face of a young woman in her nurse outfit. I blinked up a few times as I tried to adjust my eyes with the bright light.

Oh yeah. Nandito pa rin pala ako sa ospital. At sa tagal ng resulta, nakaidlip na'ko habang nakaupo sa hospital bed. This gross bed, with my bandaged left foot and arm with some bruises on my shoulder. My white shirt was now stained with some dirt and blood spots.

All in all, I. LOOK. LIKE. s**t!

"Sorry kung pinaghintay ka namin ng matagal, Ms. Javier. Medyo busy kasi si doc ngayon. But we're happy to inform you na hindi naman malala ang nangyari sa paa at braso mo. You've only sprained your ankle and your arm. We'll just give you some medicine to take and make sure to take a rest ........" She just went on with her five-pages long reminder which I just answered with a nod.

I have to leave this place now. Hindi ko gusto ang lugar na'to. Because the last time I was here, it was when I was recovering years ago. And I don't want to be reminded with that again, with how mess I was that time. The place is almost white and smells antiseptics while some wounded and ill people were being treated on the other beds.

Oh s**t. How unpleasant to look at.

"...mga ilang araw lang, magiging okay kana. Maybe two weeks or so, babalik na sa normal ang braso't paa mo. "Patapos na saad ng nurse. Thank God.

And the hell I'd stay useless that long. May mga bagay pakong dapat gawin kesa sa tumunganga na lang while waiting for my limbs to heal. But she didn't have to know that. We don't want to freak her out, do we?

"So pwede na ba 'kong umuwi ngayon, Miss?"

I was able to let out a sigh she nodded.

"Makakauwi ka na ngayon, Ms. Javier. But I suggest na tawagan mo muna ang pamilya mo para sunduin ka rito. In your condition right now, kailangan mo ng aalalay sa'yo. "

At the mention of that, I let out an exasperated sigh.

Oh yeah. Hindi nga pala ako makakalakad ngayon dahil kahit saklay, hindi ko magawang dalhin ngayon. Gosh. Kung alam ko lang kung gaano ka inconvenient maging pilay, mas minabuti ko pa sanang iwasan ang sasakyan na 'yon.

I groaned when I remember that damn car. I don't think na aksidente lang ang lahat ng 'yon. Mukhang sinadya talaga ng gagong 'yon na sagasaan ako. But who could that be? Judge Agustus? Frede-----

"Miss? Okay ka lang ba?"

I glanced up when the nurse asked me that with worry visible on her face.

"Okay lang ako, miss. I'll just call someone na susundo sa'kin rito." Kahit Wala naman talagang susundo sa'kin rito. I wanted to add that but no, she doesn't have to know how unfortunate I was.

"Okay. Maiwan na muna kita rito." She said with a smile before she left.

Nang makaalis na ito, my gaze shifted to the small table na nasa gilid ko where my phone and headset rested on it. Sighing, I took it then groaned when I noticed a small c***k on its screen.

Buti nalang konting c***k lang ang naging damage nito. I couldn't have called anyone kung nasira 'to at higit sa lahat, such a waste of my money kung bibili pa'ko ng bago.

I turned it on then 2 missed calls appeared on the screen. I wonder kung sino 'to. Well, probably my aunt. Wala namang ibang tatawag sa'kin other than her and sometimes Al.

I tapped it then frowned when 'Granite Wall' displayed in my phone, causing my brow to shot up.

I wonder why he was calling on me. I'm no longer his P.I. so why's the call now?

'No one would dare to choose you once everyone would find out that you're a son of a murderer.'

I frowned when that echoed in my head, making me curious as hell to that.

Ano bang ibig sabihin ni Enriquez dun? He wouldn't just say that just to annoy Mr. Del Fuero.

A murderer's son? Wala naman akong nababalitaang ganung news and more importantly, I haven't even heard any news about his family..

Yes, Sam. Hindi mo nga alam kung may pamilya pa ang taong 'yon. My mind quickly agreed.

Pero kahit gusto kong alamin yon, I think now's not the time to think about that man and his life. I quickly blocked that thoughts off my system and just dialed up for Al's number.

In just a few rings, he picked it up.

"Sam?"

"Al, busy ka ba ngayon?"

I heard him yawned out then a rustling of sheets followed, indicating that he was still on his bed.

Oh s**t.

"Kakagising ko lang, Sam. I'm out of town right now dahil sa hindi pa tapos na case ko.."

That news made me sighed exasperatedly.

"Bakit, Sam? May problema ba? May ipapagawa ka ba?" He asked with worry visible in his voice.

"Wala, Al. Sige, good luck nalang sa case mo. Bye!" Then I ended the call without waiting for his reply.

Now, nothing left in my list. That's how interesting my life is. Kung naging normal lang sana ang buhay ko, I should've been enjoying my life now like what people usually do in their life. I could've been a writer by now just like what I have dreamt to become before, with my still complete family supporting me...

My hold in my phone tightened when that thoughts came in mind.

I was suddenly interrupted when my phone started to ring with again, 'Granite Wall' appeared on the screen.

I swallowed hard and just keep staring at it. Ano bang kailangan ng gagong 'to? Akala ko ba tanggal na'ko?

I shook my head then just let it continue to ring until it stop. Hindi ko kailangan ng asungot ngayon, all I need is someone na makakatulong sa'kin na makaalis dito. Hindi ko naman maaasahan ang gagong del Fuero na 'yon. If only he have the same attitude with Liam, then I wouldn't have even-----

I suddenly paused when an idea came in and I smiled as new hope crept inside me.

Yes! Liam! Liam can help me! Though I know he was busy with his business, I just hope that idiot can still spare a tiny bit of his time for me.

Without giving it a second thought, I dialed for him. After the second ring, he picked up my call.

"William Montero, speaking." Came his serious voice. Probably still shoving up himself in his work. I suddenly felt disappointed with the possibilities na hindi sya free ngayon.

Pero bahala na. I would never know it unless I tried. Taking a deep breath, I asked him.

"Liam, this is Sam. Itatanong ko lang sana if you can pick me up-----"

"Samantha, Samantha! Ikaw pala yan. I thought one of my woman was calling me now.."

My eyes rolled upward when he suddenly turned cheerful. Though I wanted to give him a lecture with him keep calling me with my first name, isinantabi ko nalang muna 'yon and get down to my business instead.

"Liam, I don't care about your women and dirty lifestyle, gusto ko lang itanong kung may konting free time ka ba ngayon? Hihingi lang sana ako ng favor if you can pick me up dito sa hospital, kailangan ko lang talaga ng-----"

"Wait, wait. What? Hospital? Ano bang nangyari sa'yo? Are you ill?"

My heart swelled up when his voice suddenly turned worried in a minute. Though this man could be a pester and act stupid sometimes, I didn't know he could be this serious in an instant.

"I'm not really ill Liam, hindi lang ako makalakad ng maayos ngayon."

"What??!"

I grimaced and quickly put the phone away from my ear when he suddenly shouted that, feeling like my eardrum would split-off with that.

"Bakit? Ano bang nangyari sa'yo? Did you try to break Cameron's head using your foot, Samantha? I'm sure that hurt like hell now! Hindi mo na sana ginawa yon! You know, pwede ka naman sanang gumamit ng martilyo.." Then the bastard chuckled.

I can't stop myself but chuckled as well. Damn.. This man really knows how to make me laugh.

"Liam, enough with your antics please. I'm serious here. Pwede mo ba kong sunduin ngayon? Ikaw nalang talaga ang mahihingan ko ngayon ng favor."

Kapalan na'to ng mukha ngayon.

I heard him sighed sa kabilang linya, making me feel worried that he'll refuse.

"Though I'd really want to help you right now, Sam, pero medyo hectic ang schedule ko ngayon. I still have lots of appointments na kailangang siputin.."

Hearing that made me feel disappointed.

Oh God, now I think kailangan ko nalang umuwing mag-isa-----

"But I can call someone na pwedeng sumundo sa'yo, Sam. Just text me the address. Pasensya na talaga, I would've gladly pick you up kung hindi lang ako busy ngayon... " I know he was sorry because it was visible in his voice.

But I suddenly felt thankful dahil sa sinabi nyang yon. I smiled before I answered him.

"It's okay, Liam and thank you sa kung sino man ang tatawagan mo na sumundo sa'kin dito. That means so much to me."

I heard him chuckled from the other line.

"Don't mention that, Samantha. Alam mong malakas ka sa'kin."

I smiled then nodded my head at that, as if I was facing him now.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll end this call now. i know you're busy. Itetext ko nalang sa'yo 'yong address. Bye."

When he answered okay, I ended the call and then called that same nurse kanina for my bills.
