MANILA PENINSULA HOTEL - PARKING AREA
Lumabas si Brent, medyo hilo na sa alak pero malinaw pa rin ang inis at tensyon sa mukha niya. The cold night air did nothing to cool his temper. Habang naglalakad siya papunta sa kanyang kotse, narinig niya ang mabigat na yabag sa likuran.
"What's the matter with you, Madrigal?" malamig na boses ni Harrison, humahabol sa kanya.
Huminto si Brent at napailing, bago dahan-dahang humarap dito. His eyes were sharp, defiant.
"What's the matter with you, Ellison?" balik niya. "I like Psyche... no- I love her! So why are you always against it?"
Kita sa mukha ni Harrison ang pagpipigil. His fists were clenched at his sides.
"She's my sister, Brent. I don't want her to get hurt - especially by someone like you... a womanizer."
Napatawa si Brent, mapait.
