"He is at the guest's building, room 910 if want to see him." Napapitlag naman ako ng magsalita si Jaypee. Umupo naman ito sa swivel chair sa tabi ko. "You looked troubled, nakatulog ka ba kagabi?" He asked.

"Nope, she stayed up all night thinking about how she will tell Jack about us." Gemma answered.

"Us? what do you mean us?" Jaypee asked in confusion.

"The organization." Gemma replied while still looking at her computer monitor.

"Wait, what?" Jaypee reacted and then looked at me. "You already earned the right to do that!?" He exclaimed.

"Big boss already gave me the permission, actually, he has a right to know." I answered.

"Then tell him now, bakit parang naga-alangan ka?" Jaypee asked.

"Sige Jaypee, ipag-palagay mo na ikaw ang nasa sitwasyon. Ang pagkakakilala mo sa akin ay isang matinong tao pero ang totoo ay hindi pala." I explained.

At dahil naman sa tanong na iyon ay napakunot ang noo ng binata.

"Matino ka naman ah?" He asked.

"Oh my God. Bakit sa lahat ng tatanungin mo ng ganyan si Jaypee pa talaga?" Gemma asked.

"Right. I shouldn't asked you in that way." I said in realization. "Jaypee, paano ba gagawin ko? I-I'm so confused right now." I asked.

"Just go to him and then tell him na isa tayong organisasyon na pinamumunuan ni Big Boss Zaim Falcon. As simple as breathing." Jaypee said.

"Buti sana kung ganoon kadali yon."

"Ano ba kasi ang problema?"

"Ayokong mawala ang tiwala niya sa akin okay!" I exclaimed and let out a harsh sigh. "I just earned his trust recently then I will just crush it immediately." I added.

"Kayo na ba?" Biglaang tanong naman nito.

"What?" I asked in shock. "What the fuck are you saying?" I exclaimed again.

"Eh base sa kinikilos mo para kang girlfriend na takot umamin sa boyfriend na naglasing ka kagabi." Jaypee said and shrug his shoulder.

"Definitely we are not in a relationship." I said and let out a sigh again. "You know what, I'll go and tell him." I added and tried to gather my shit together.

"Tell me what?" Napahinto naman ako nang marinig ang pamilyar na boses na iyon mula sa likuran ko. Nagkatinginan naman kami ni Jaypee for a split second bago ako tuluyang tumingin kay Jack.

"Jack, w-what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Uhm...I asked this girl to bring me to you." He said at saka tinuro si Lyka nasa likuran niya and she waved at us.

"Actually." Singit naman ni Gemma at saka tumayo sa kinauupuan niya. "You two, follow me to the cafeteria. Ilibre niyo ko." She said at saka umalis mula sa table niya papunta sa pinto.

Dinig ko naman ang pag-protesta ng dalawa habang sumusunod kay Gemma pero wala naman doon ang focus ko.

Dahil ang focus ko ay nasa lalaking nasa harap ko ngayon.

Nang tuluyang makalabas sila Jaypee at Lyka, naiwan naman kaming dalawa ni Jack sa office ng team namin.

Wala yung iba naming kasamahan since it was the start of vacation. Ang iba sa kanila ay umuwi sa kani-kanilang mga pamilya.
