Family matters - Faye x Yoko

3

Present time...

Yoko is in her room alone. She still can not get over the fact that she met Faith again. It was like someone is incharge from the heavens that wants to mess with her feelings.

"I will be staying in this hotel for a week. Maybe lets catch up when you are done working?"

Faith voice echoes in her mind once again.

She hoped that their meeting earlier is just one coincident event and it would just pass by but knowing that Faith will be staying here in hotel for another week is clear indication that they will eventually cross paths again.

She could've answer that she is busy or what but instead she replied politely.

"Yes, we can. Just let me know when you have free time."

She can still feel her cheeks getting red as she realize how vulnerable her heart with Faith.

She tap her chest to calm her heart.

"Be still my heart. She is your Ate/Phi, remember?" She said trying to talk herself out of this strange entanglement.

Her phone rings and saw a message from her bestfriend Jin. She opened it and instanly roll her eyes upon reading the message.

"Oh! It's really unlikely for you two to meet again. But if ever you do, then one thing is for sure — that is destiny working overtime for you two. LoL. 🤣"

That is her bestfriend's reply to all of her texts and voicemail, ranting about the situation of possible meeting with Faith. She is yet to update that they actually meet and Jin is already teasing her.

She close her message without sending a reply. She is too exhausted to engage right now.

She put her things away and went to shower.

Meanwhile, Faith is in the elevator going to hotel lobby. She is wearing casual clothes and accessories. You can clearly see that she is out to party. She feels light hearted tonight as she would be meeting some of her close friends, she is meeting them to show support on their newly opened night club nearby. The timing perfectly fits to her schedule so she is also excited.

She is about to pass the receptionist area when an idea pop in her head. She stop and quickly turn her back and approached the lady in the help desk.

"Good evening." She greeted with a smile, and she could already tell that the ladies in front of her recognize her.

"Good evening Phi."

"Ahmm... I have some favor to ask you." She begun. "I have a Nong that is working here as an apprentice of the Chef. Do you think you can give her a call to let her know that I'm here in the lobby?"

The two lady look at each other. They maybe contemplating to whether to cater her ask or not. This is an unusual ask so they are debating how to accommodate.

"No.. actually, it's okay if you cannot do that. I understand." She was about to back down but the ladies stop her.

"No, P'Faye. I will do my best to help. Can you wait for a moment? I just need your Nong full name and we will look her name in the system."
