Pagdating nila sa first floor, may nakita silang lalaki na nadapa at tumapon yung books na dala ng lalaki sa sahig. Dali-daling tinulungan ni Lauren yung lalaki. Taylor helped Lauren pick the books.

"Thank you, Miss Lauren?" the guy said. Ibinangon siya ni Lauren.

"You're welcome. Ingat ka sa susunod." Lauren said.

"Okay, I will." After that, the guy walked away.

"Lau, kakaiba yung titig sayo ng lalaking yun." Christine said.

"Ano ba yang iniisip mo? Hindi naman siguro." Lauren said.

"Guys, ang importante, tinulungan natin si boy." Taylor said.

"Alam mo Taylor, kung ikaw ang madadapa ng ganoon, hindi na ikaw ang bubuhat ng mga books na dala niya, ako na lang. I'm willing to help at any cost. At kung isang ninja ako, mabilis kitang sasaluhin." Kent said.

Kinilig naman itong si Christine at Lauren. Nag-blush si Taylor.

"Uy! Grabe ka naman! Ano ba yang pinagsasabi mo!" Taylor said, blushing. "Tara na nga!"

Pagdating sa parking lot, kinuha muna ni Lauren yung bike niya. Sinubukan nilang ilagay yung bike sa compartment ng kotse ni Taylor. Taylor owns an Audi A7 car. Kumasya yung bike sa kotse, and they're ready to go. Nasa likod ng kotse nakaupo sina Christine at Lauren, habang katabi ni Taylor si Kent sa harapan. Taylor drove the car.

"Lau, saang Starbucks mo gustong tumambay?" Taylor asked.

"Doon sa may AXA Building. Sa rooftop nung building na yun may Starbucks. May parking area naman siguro yung building nila diba?" Lauren replied.

"Meron naman. Anong klaseng building yan kung walang parking lot?" Taylor said.

"Oo nga naman." Lauren smiled.

"Kent, mahilig ka ba sa coffee?" Taylor asked.

"Yup." Kent answered.

"Diba sabi mo noon, hindi gaano?" Taylor asked again.

"Oo. Pero nung mga nakaraang buwan, nakahiligan ko na." Kent replied.

"How come, Kent?" Christine asked.

"Kasi na-curious ako sa benefits nito sa katawan." Kent answered.

"How about you Christine?" Taylor asked.

"Yes, I love to drink coffee. Pinapares ko sa chocolate cake." Christine replied.

And they arrived at the AXA Building in Escoda City. The building's height is 295 metres. There's a skygarden on the rooftop. 

Umorder na sila sa Starbucks ng coffee and some cakes and sparkling water.

As they started to drink, nagtaka si Lauren, bakit may stage at may piano at band set dito sa labas ng Starbucks? May concert ba? Or baka naman may acoustic session siguro.

Taylor spent 15 dollars for coffee and cake. They sat on the table outside at malapit din sa dulo ng building. You can see the whole view of the city. They started to drink coffee and they're relaxing right now.

Pero, parang may commotion. May pinagkakaguluhan ang mga tao.

And Lauren and Taylor spotted Christina Grimmie! Christina waved to her fans. I think she's going to perform on the Starbucks. Christina's wearing a hat, a blue tanktop, ripped pants and Converse shoes.

Curious naman itong si Kent at Christine. What was Christina Grimmie doing here in this building? Kent asked the waitress.

"Ma'am, bakit nandito si Christina Grimmie?" Kent asked the barista of the Starbucks.
