Constellation of Love Season 2 (On-going)

Chapter 52

"Ituloy pa din ang event pero ikaw ang representative ko." sabi ko at binalik ko kay Rio ang folder na dala niya.

"Huh? What? Ako? Bakit ako?" tinignan niya pa ang buong kwarto at kaming dalawa lang naman ang nandito.

"May reklamo ka?"

"W-wala! Pero kailangan kayo doon."

"Final na at hindi ako pupunta. Madami akong ginagawa."

"Bihira lang kayo magtrabaho overtime, Miss Caelum."

"Sige, palit tayo at ako ang uuwi—"

"Joke lang! Ibig kong sabihin kasi na super duper sipag niyo! Keep it up!"

They've planned a party for all the business owners, and they want me to attend, along with most of the people I despise and don't want to see.

Wala talaga akong balak pumunta dahil marami akong gagawin, well, as usual.

Mag o-overtime ako sa ayaw at sa gusto ko dahil kailangan kong tapusin lahat 'to.

Nakaalis na din si Rio at ako na lang ang mag-isa sa buong Solis. It's midnight already.

Something bothers me as I type on my computer and sign the papers at the same time, and I pause for a moment.

"Okay, quick break."

As I approach the glass wall, I start stretching up my body especially my wrist and neck. And I'm having fun while looking at the city lights.

My enemies, particularly Han Sung Min, have begun to move since they announced that my memories had returned.

Tsk. How annoying.

While admiring the view, the lights abruptly went out, and when I looked around, only an emergency red light surrounded the entire area.

Pumunta ako sa mesa ko para tawagan kung sino man ang tao sa guard house.

"Hello? Anyone there?" tanong ko pero walang sumasagot and it looks like the power and signal have both been turned off.

I heard multiple gunshots not far from my office.

I'm certain it's a gunshot. I've been carrying a gun for years. But, who did it? And why?

"Oh, wonderful."

May kinuha akong malaking libro sa likuran ko na naglalaman ng handgun at extra magazine.

Sinuot ko din ang earpiece ko, baka kailanganin ko ang assist ni Corvus.

Lumabas ako sa opisina ko at tinutok ko ang baril sa hallway habang naglalakad ako.

May narinig ulit akong gunshots at tumakbo ako papunta sa dulo ng hallway.

Mariin kong hinawakan ang baril at kung saan-saan ko itinutok pero wala akong nakikita ni isang tao.

What's going on?

I went through each room one by one, but no one was there, surely they wanted to play cat and mouse.

In the final room, I look around again with my flashlight on my phone when I notice something on the center table and slowly run to grab it.

It's a black envelope with a long red ribbon that bears my name.

— Mirus Estelle Caelum —

Come to the cathedral as soon as you finish reading this letter. The address was written behind it. I'll be waiting for you there, Scarlet Assassin.
