Evander: Bakit sobrang daming tao sa taas?
Milly: Oh, that'll be bc of us haha. Late Drive's here.
Evander: Late drive? Yung banda? Pati pala yan kakilala mo?
Milly: Haha, yeah. One of them's dating my best friend / flatmate.
Evander: Lahat talaga kilala mo 😅 Tutugtog ba? Parang di nakahanda stage?
Milly: They won't. We're only hanging out but I think someone recognized them and took a snap. Their fans ended up coming in droves.
Evander: Kailangan ko ba magpadala ng security dyan sa taas?
Milly: Meron na. Kai sent more people here.
Evander: Nandito? San si kai?
Milly: Haha. With us. Here, upstairs.

Milly: See, you had it in you to be friendly :)
Engr. Aviado: You asked me to exert an effort.
Milly: Haha and you did a fine job. After tonight, you'll prolly turn Late Drive's fans into yours haha. Did you rly give them your socmed accounts?
Engr. Aviado: I had to because someone kept pushing me to. I thought you said you'd help me out? Ikaw pa naunang itulak ako.
Milly: Haha I didn't want to break your new fans' hearts. Let them follow you. If word comes out that WYLD is pretty accommodating, that'll work well for our branding.
Engr. Aviado: Hindi ako public figure katulad mo, Milly.
Milly: You don't need to be. But in this industry, connections matter the most.
Engr. Aviado: Iimbitahan mo ba sila sa relaunch?
Milly: The fans?
Engr. Aviado: Yung mga kaibigan mo.
Milly: Ah, Late Drive? Hmm, they'll come. But idk if we can get them to play. I'll have to talk to their management first. Frankly, I don't wanna haha coz I'm avoiding those people.
Engr. Aviado: Bakit?
Milly: They won't stop asking me to join their label kasi.
Engr. Aviado: Nirerecruit ka?
Milly: Yeah.
Engr. Aviado: Bakit ayaw mo?
Milly: I don't want that kind of commitment. It's too much for me.
Engr. Aviado: Ano ba nangyari sayo at ayaw na ayaw mo sa commitment?
Milly: Do I need a reason ba? I just wanna keep my freedom, no other reason.
Engr. Aviado: Ah.
Milly: Who are you inviting for the relaunch?
Engr. Aviado: Wala. Kayo nang bahala ni Evander dyan. Balitaan nyo na lang ako sa mangyayari.
Milly: Wait. Why? You're not coming?
Engr. Aviado: Baka hindi na.
Milly: What, why?
Engr. Aviado: Bahala na. Di pa ko sigurado.
Milly: Work? Prior appointment? Or... Are you leaving?
2:19 AM
Milly: You're not answering. That's okay, I won't press. But you'll let us know if you're leaving, right?
Engr. Aviado: Sasabihan ko kayo kapag sigurado na lahat.
