The CEO's Addiction (ENGLISH)

Chapter 3

Porchia gets in the car, the dark circles in her eyes are visible, she can't sleep thinking about what to do about his wallet.

Patrick looked at her, his forehead furrowed, "Did you slept last night? It seems like you didn't, Porch."

She doesn't have the energy to buckle her seatbelt and he did too for her, "I didn't sleep, I can't sleep, Kuya." Her head bump on the windshield. She looks lifeless.

"You acted strangely since you bought me a coffee and bringing some stranger's coat." He faced her and turned off the engine, "What happened to you, Porch?" he asked. "Did someone threatened you?" he ended up starting the engine to drive to school. Porchia is not talking to him.

When they arrived in the school parking lot. She opened the door and went out. Her eyes are almost closing. Patrick followed her. He runs to her front and stopped, he waited for her to see him but Porchia bump into him and was startled.

"I am sorry, sir. I am sorry," she hurriedly gets her towel and was about to wipe his stomach when she can't see any stains. She nibbles her lips and stands straight. Patrick's eyes are killing her.

"What was that? Did you just spill on someone's clothes? You are acting because of that? Did he do something bad to you?" he asked and hold her shoulders to face him.

She can't look at him back, "No, I was just stress, Kuya. There is still no response from the companies..." She lied to get rid of him.

"Why can't be in our business?"

"Dad, won't let me. He said I should apply on the big company, the bigger the greater knowledge," she stated. She realized how occupied she was from yesterday.

"That's right, I will agree with him. Do you want to drink coffee? You look so sleepy, I bet you will sleep in your class," he replied and pushes her forehead.

"No, of course not. I promise to keep my eyes open."

Meanwhile, Porchia was sleeping in their history class. She is snoring and it sounded in the whole room. Their room is closed and whatever noise will echo inside.

Her teacher stops writing on the whiteboard when she heard something. "What is that noise, students?" she asked and fix her eyeglasses.

Her classmates remained silent as their strict teacher walks in the middle. Her heels echoed in the floor and with her stick on her right hand. She roamed her eyes.

Porchia's snores become louder, her seatmates elbowed her but she didn't wake up.

"Miss Cruz," the teacher called her, "How long she is asleep?" she asked her seatmates.

"20 minutes after you started your class, ma'am."

Her eyes narrowed as he slightly slapped her arms using her stick, "Wake up, sleepyhead."

"Hmmm...I am still sleeping."

The teacher puts her hands over her waist and shouts, "MISS CRUZ, GO TO DISCIPLINE OFFICE NOW!" she shouted. It's like a light that electrified Porchia.

She wakes up and scowls, she slowly moves up her head from the desk while having a fake smile. He slightly bows her head feeling sorry for them, her classmates were laughing at her while Mrs. Chavez's eyes almost kill her.

"Wait for me on the discipline office, you will have your penalty, hmmm?!" her eyes rounded like it will going to jump from her eyes.

She fixed her things up and stand up, she is still sleepy. She walks like a zombie until she reached the office. The adviser was she was shocked at her.

"Good morning, sir. I am waiting for Mrs. Chavez." She said before leaning her head on the table.

"Miss, what are you doing? This is a discipline office and if you are not feeling well, go to the clinic."

"Yes, sir. I am not feeling well and my teacher did send me here."

While Porchia is sleeping on the discipline adviser, her teacher Mrs. Chavez gets with her killer eyes.

"Why is she sleeping again?! You have to give her a penalty!" she shouted. Porchia is so sleepy that she can't even open her eyes for her.

"Mrs. Chavez, she is not feeling well. You should send her to the clinic not here," he answered.

She shakes her head, "No, no, she is sleepy, Aquino! She was snoring in my class, ghad!" she holds her forehead in frustration because of her.

"That damn woman, Luke! She is a snatcher! I told you!" he shouted and slaps his wooden table.

Luke just shrugged, "She will bring that back, come on. Don't overthink, if you are thinking about your money, you know that you can't withdraw anytime," he replied and rolled his eyes. Since yesterday they were talking like an i***t, same topic and same topic.

His forehead crinkled, he hangs his arms in the air, "What? Are you nuts? My credit cards are there! It's your fault, you gave her my coat!" he yelled. He can't buy anything he wants because he doesn't have money with him, all of his credit card and cash are there inside the wallet.

"Are you sure your wallet is there? What if you misplaced it?! You son of b***h, you pinpoint to her easily," he was eager to punch him but he grabbed it back. "Think first where you last saw it."

A lot of papers kissed his head, Arthur throws it, "I don't have amnesia! Go out, you are making my head hurts." He massaged his forehead while playing with his pen.

Luke's pouted his lips and picks the papers that are scattered, "Then if you knew that your wallet is in the coat, why didn't you remember? Idiot." He teases him before running away from him. He leaves Arthur shouting inside his office. He is laughing hard while walking.

*******

Porchia feels like someone is shaking her, she was sentenced by the discipline officer in the clinic where she is laying now.

"Hey," someone whispered in her ear but she didn't respond and continue her sleep, "Hey, Porch. Wake up if you don't want me to leave you here, the school is almost closing now..." He is stopping himself to pinched his sister. She is cuddling like she is in her room, sleeping peacefully.

A nurse opens the room, "Sir, sorry but we need to close in 10 minutes. Please bring her home," she said and leave.

He rubbed his head in irritation and wake her up harshly, "WAKE UP, PORCHIA! WE NEED TO GO HOME!" he shouted while shaking her fast. But Porchia just moves and covers her ears.

"Stop it, I am still sleepy..." She answered and snores.

Patrick doesn't have a choice but to wear her sling bag readied himself to carry her in his arms.

"You don't want to wake up? Then, let me carry you, I will tell mom and dad about it, duck head." He wrapped his arms around her body and carried her on the bridal way. He sighed when his sister is not heavy, she is tall and has a model look.

"Are you still eating huh? You are so light."

Porchia just leans her head on his broader chest.

"Ready yourself later, Porch. Mom will kill you, you ditch your classes,", he said and laugh.

No students are walking in the hallway, the surroundings are getting darker and darker. He looked at the huge clock on the main building, it's 6:30 PM.

He stared at her sister who didn't even wake up. " Don't tell me you watched K-drama!" his voice raised on her sleeping sister. He rolled his eyes when he realized that she can't hear him.
