 Geraldine and I were silent at first, just staring at Len in shock, but after a while, we were able to recover and invited Len to join us. I introduced them to each other and because they have lots of things in common, they easily got close, much to my relief. And because of that, I was able to calm down and didn't make move out of anger which was just good.Len asked about what happened, so I told her about the note and she too, was curious as to how did the note get here. Even she doesn't remember anyone going in the kitchen aside from her, Mirna, Caleb, and of course, the guards."I'll ask the building for the CCTV footage, I'm sure we would know in time whoever got here without the guards knowing. I'll talk to them as well, but first, we have to get on that Stephanie."Geraldine told her about Stephanie and about our issue way back in college which Stephanie brought up today. I wasn't surprised when she actually knew who was Stephanie. Accordin

 Caleb Craige'sI was emotionless as I watched them drink on the bar, men trying to get in their way but my private guards who were now in disguise were blocking them. Half of the guards, the ones who came with them were outside for standby, while half of them came with me when I decided to follow them here. After they left, I hastily went to our bed to change into casual clothes since I couldn't go here with my business suit still on.The damn press was still waiting for us outside the building and even a few meters away from the company building's entrance. But thankfully, they weren't as many as when we just got off the plane from Maldives. Maybe because it has been a day since they tried to get anything from us but nothing and I wasn't planning to give anything to them, anyway. It has been planned that Hazel and I will hold a press interview exclusively by Zamora News Agency, the interview was supposed to be today but I knew she was not yet ready. And

 Hazel Quin'sWe were having the best out of us, wild and free under the spell of alcohol, dancing without thinking of anything and anyone through the party lights flashing different shades of hue, and through the loud stereo blasting loud party music as everyone rocked with it. I was out of my mind, I knew that. But I wasn't giving a damn as I was enjoying, I was living one of the best and wild nights out of me.I didn't know what was happening anymore, I couldn't see Geraldine and Len anymore because we were moving around the dance floor as we danced with everyone. Even so, I didn't mind it and continued getting lost in Night Play.The night goes deeper and deeper until I was totally lost, then I felt hands touch my waist, and instantly, I knew it wasn't Caleb. I wasn't feeling anything even when the hand started moving up my body, unlike to Caleb's touches where I would instantly feel something, the connection, the bond connecting the two of us.

 Caleb Craige'sIt was already late when I woke the next day from my deep slumber. Hazel was still sleeping beside me, I would understand if she would wake up late with her head spinning. The drink they had was probably still on her system right now, from her smell, I could say that they took Tequilla. It would pass as a strong drink for someone who's not used to drinking like Hazel. Then, if the bartender mixed something strong in the Tequilla, I wouldn't be surprised if she would vomit when she woke up.Kissing her forehead, I stepped out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to take a morning shower. And to make sure that I would wake up for real, I turned the shower cold and I shivered as the water poured on me, almost freezing me.A sigh of relief escaped my lungs when I was done dressing up for this day. The remnants of last night were gone and I knew a cup of black coffee would complete it. I was trying hard to forget the face of the bastard

 Hazel Quin's"You mean our interview would be scripted?""Not totally scripted, we would just choose what to tell the public while making sure it would satisfy them.""And how sure are you that it would work?"The smile on his lips then turned into a smirk, "Simply because that's what I've been doing for all these years now whenever the press is sticking their nose to my personal life."Instantly, questions started coming one by one in my head and each one needed to be answered out of curiosity and confusion. All of it has something to do with him and my previous plan— the ridiculous plan I had to learn to forget when we were in Maldives. And now, questions regarding that plan with what he said started bombarding my head.Questions that needed to be answered as per my journalism persona, my mouth and mind were dying to ask. But I wasn't just a journalist and I wasn't on duty now, I was a girlfriend who needed to respect h
