CHAPTER 10

Malcolm was with the news team until the morning show ended at exactly 8 o'clock. Pinanood ko lang siya at matiyagang hinintay siya kung saan niya ako iniwan kanina.

Nasa tabi ko lang si Hendricks. Kinakausap niya ako at sumasagot ako tuwing tinatanong niya ako. Hendricks even enjoyed his Real Leaf bottled juice drink.

Nakapako kasi ang tingin ko kay Malcolm. I'm watching how graceful but manly he moves. He engaged with the UKG family as if he wasn't the known serious and formal Malcolm Hinge Humphries, the versatile actor and model, that everyone knows and seen in numerous TV shows, printed magazines, and enormous towering billboards.

"Phia," he called me.

Binalingan ko siya, "Hmm?"

He handed me a bottle of Real Leaf in Lychee flavor. Naguguluhan akong tinanggap iyong bigay niya.

Nginitian ko siya, "Thank you!"

Ayokong maging bastos kaya't tinanggap ko. Obvious namang 'di pa bukas iyong botelya kaya alam kong safe iyon
