I smiled when I heard Cathy’s voice over the phone. I decided to call her so that she could enlighten me with what’s eating me up now.
“Hi, C. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard your voice. I missed you. Why didn’t you inform me that you accepted mom’s offer to send you to Europe? I hate you.”
Cathy laughed in the line. I heard a clanking of glasses.
“We both know you didn’t call me alone for that. It’s not that hard for me to read you. Come on, we have been together for all the years of our lives. Is it about Von again?”
I let out a sigh. Cathy never failed to make feel assured and protected. She has this unique aura all over her that makes you trust her. Cathy has been like that for me for the longest time. We practically grew up together. If only my aunt will let her, she could have moved to our house. Aside from Laurie, she has been

I arrived at Sandy’s place at exactly five in the morning. The maid who opened the door for me gave me a malicious smile while giving a look on my thin lingerie underneath my untied robe.“Where’s Von?” I asked hurriedly not minding her stares.“Jill, come up here.”I looked up to see Von from the top of the stairs in the second floor. I didn’t think twice before running towards him.“W-what happened?” I asked him while catching my breath.Von sighed and raked his fingers over his hair in a frustrated way.“It’s Sandy. I don’t know what exactly happened but she called me this morning to ask for my help. I immediately came here but when she saw me, she began to scream and started shaking all over. I tried to embraced her but she won’t let me. It’s been an hour since she locked herself up in the room.”“Why did you call me? You should have called for her mother or any member of her family.”Von stared right through me, enough for m

“Smile, my dear. You look stunning in your pantsuit. It suits you.”I rolled my eyes at my mother and adjusted the frames of my eyeglasses. I felt so uncomfortable with my too conservative clothes and the stares people in the convention throw at me.Of course I know why. They are as shocked as myself when mom pulled me out of my tedious answering of her endless calls to accompany her to a formal event.I felt so out of place with my clothes in the sea of dresses and coats. I did not come here to be one of the dignitaries but as a mere employee.“Why didn’t you give me a heads up about this, mom? Look at them checking me out. It’s so embarrassing!”My mother laughed.“That doesn’t change the fact that you are still my daughter and the future of our empire. You have nothing to be ashamed of,” she assured me.“I know that but you could have at least informed me beforehand. I don’t even have my eye contacts in me and you of all peopl

“Hi, Ms. Jill Buenaventura. Fancy meeting you here. I get that you don’t remember me given that look in your face. I’m Penelope Ciro. We met five years ago in London. Remember that fashion show?”I crooked one brow and tried to remember her name and the event she’s talking about. Penelope… A flash of recognition dawned on me when I repeated her name in my head. My face hardened at the memory of a woman holding a placard outside the hotel where a fashion show I just attended was taking place. She is shouting expletive words on my face and then next thing I knew; she threw a rotten egg on my face.The next day's morning paper contained my picture who looks like I just ran over a dozen of eggs. Beside that column is a mugshot of the woman where her name is written in a nice bold black font.“Ah, I remember your bloated face outside that building that night. Well, you look so good with that mismatched plaid jacket and a neon cropped top.”Penelope smi

I stood up and stepped back when Jeff started to approach me. My survival instincts started to kick in. The first thing I wanted to do was to run and so I did but Jeff was quick enough to block me. He imprisoned me in his arms and locked my hands with his.I struggled to break away from his grip because it is obvious that he is stronger and bigger than me. I am no match in him in terms of strength.“Let go of me,” I hissed and kicked his leg but he didn’t seem to mind it.“Let go of me!” I shouted again at his face.“Don’t fight me anymore, Jill. I know you still want me and I feel the same way to you too. Stop ignoring me.”My mouth opened in surprise and amazement. How dare this guy think that I still want him after I caught him cheating on me. No one in the right mind will still stay even after catching her boyfriend in bed with another woman.“Who told you that I am still into you? It

“What is wrong, Jill?”I sniffed on my already wet tissue and then threw it on the trash bin together with other tons of wet wipes before answering Laurie who is looking at me with utmost curiosity from her seat on the far side of her room.“What’s wrong? Everything is wrong, Laurie!” I blurted out while stuffing tissues on my face again. My mascara is all over my face but I don’t care about being vain anymore. My vanity will not save me from the horrible heartache and shit I am feeling now.After the scene in the hotel, I did not go back to work. Instead, I instructed the cab driver to take me to Laurie’s pad. I did not care anymore if I found her lying naked with a man in her bed because I am so absorbed with my own problems. I badly needed a friend now or else I’m going to explode in mixed anger and frustration.“Relax, Jill. Tell me everything first. Let me understand first so that I know what&rsqu

“Did you think so?” I asked in a lowered voice.Laurie nodded. “Yes, I think so and so were all of our friends who are so worried of you.”I exhaled and grasped her hand and looked her in the eyes.“Laurie?”I tightened my grip on her hand. “Can I ask for a favor?” I asked pleadingly.She looked away, sighed, and looked back to me. “One favor, Jill. One last favor you can ask me.”My tears fell again. “Yes, one last favor.”“What is it?” she murmured.“Let me do this one thing for Von. If I failed, then I will completely stop this craziness you say I’m committing and fly back to Europe. You don’t have to go with me there. Just promise me that after I’m done making a fool of myself, you will drag me out of this and knock some senses on me. In the meantime, let me be please for my own happiness. Can you do that for me?”Laurie’s face showed that of someone on exact disagreement with what she had just heard but I can also read

“Where have you been yesterday? I’ve been so while worried looking for you.”I ignored my mother’s usual rant in the morning and sat on the dining chair as if I did not hear her. I put the table napkin aside and sipped on my mango juice. I just got home from Laurie’s pad. As expected, my mother has been calling me all night but I just left a voice mail saying that I’m alright.I don't get why she is still acting this way. We know that she knows where I am. Just one phone call to the right people will solve her dilemma.“Answer me, Jill. Where have you been yesterday? Trevor informed me that you refuse to come with him. What happened?”I looked at my mother who is seated on the far end of the table and then back to the green veggies on my plate. “I was just suffocated for being in there. I hate the way they look at me with privy eyes,” I said without even looking at her. I don’t want her to know how hurt I was yesterday. It’s better for her to think that I cho

Jillian, I repeated my name in my head. It's been so long since someone called me in my full name. Few people know my real name because I deliberately hide it for a personal reason. I stopped wanting being called in that name after my dad was killed. He is the one who gave me that name."I remembered my father." I sighed and concentrated on the view outside the car.We didn't talk after that. Von is quick to catch my mood that says I don't want to talk about it anymore. He parked outside our building and got out of the car to open the door for me."Thank you. I appreciate you doing this. I know you're a busy man.""Not as busy as you once you've taken over your company."My mood turned sour. "That is still so far from happening. I don't want to think about it yet. For now, I am enjoying every second of being buried in tons of phone calls and paper works.""Can you spare me some of your time, office girl? I have a reservation for a dinn
