Chapter 11

"Mom! Mom! Are we going home in the Philippines this vacation?" Mom looked at me.

"What did I tell you. Say it all in tagalong, so you could learn it all fast." I scratched my eyebrow.

"I'm sorry. I forgot."

Mommy smiled at me so I smiled back at her.

"I love you," she said.

Did you mean it? Did you mean it ?!

I quickly got out of bed when I woke up in my dream.

That's my sign. That time. I just shook and left the bed. I could really use a day off today.

So, I changed clothes and decided to wear a shirt and shorts that is above the knee.

I looked at myself in a mirror before going out my room. Magnus isn't here and if Rein notice I'm sure he won't ask. When I came out of the room, I saw Rein in the living room, idiot.

"Rein?" I call her. He didn't even bother looking at me.

"Yes?"

"I'm leaving. Are you okay?" He immediately nodded but I know he's not. He's eyes say it all. I just smiled.

Maybe he needs more time to think. It's good, the house is all his. He can have the space that he needs.

ARRIVING at the mall I did nothing but take a walk here inside. It's been how many hours and I haven't bought anything I want. Magnus wired my 2 months salary and was shock when it's a hundred thoughsand. Fifthy thoughsand per month.

I decided to stop and sit on a bench and think of anywhere I should go and see here in Baguio. Lots of sights but I'll go to Mall first. I would still save, so I could spend a lot of time on vacation and not run out of money, and I wanted to rent an apartment, so I won’t need to be always in the house. I would love to go out at night, too.

"Hi." A guy appeared in front of me.

"Yes?" I looked at him, confused. He looked at me and scratched the back of his neck and sat down next to me.

"This'll be a little weird but can you lend me money?" he whispered so I laughed. Is it a scam?

"You're crazy. Are you a scammer?" He shook quickly and repeatedly. I looked at him from head to toe. He's wearing a quite good clothes. Who the fuck wear a tux and asked for money to stranger?

He's got a weird snake ring on his fingers and he has, i guess five ear piercing. He looks like person that could stab with knife if he wants to.

"I was robbed," he said languidly and sighed. "That prostitute robbed me. Fuck! I'm so hungry. "She pulled her hair and hoplessly looked up.

I just sighed, we're in a crowded place, so there's a low chance that he'd hurt me in front of all these people.

"I'm not a bank to lend but I can buy food for you."

"Ah, de Verdad ?! I mean really ?! You would?" I nodded and stood up from the seat and looked around.

"Where should we go?" I will ask.

"Anywhere," he replied.

I took him to the mcdo and there he ordered food.

"Are you sure it's safe to eat these? This looks like a cheap and unsafe fast food chain," he whispered. I knew this guy isn't cheap.

"You sure did grow with a diamond spoon in your freaking mouth." He suddenly backed off and started eating.

"I said it's safe here," he whispered.

Time pass and he finished his food so we started chatting a little bit.

Turns out he's from Spain but both his parents are filipino and he was having a vacation here and chasing someone and sumabit daw siya sa bar while doing a something, and he was with a prostitute and the prostitute took everything away from him. I don't even know how he got robbed, but that prostitute is sure clever enough to fool him.

"What will you do now?" I asked and looked outside. It's afternoon and the sun is setting.

"Can I borrow your phone? I'll call my dad to send someone to fetch me." I hesitated but he hasn't done anything suspicious, so I gave him my phone.

After calling someone he looked at me and smile.

"By the way, what's your name?" I just stared at her and picked up the phone she was handing.

"It's okay if you don't tell me. Though, what really bothers me is your scars. Can I ask something about it?" he asked.

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot I wasn't wearing a long sleeve. I haven't notice him staring at it, so I totally forgot. People's stare is what mostly reminds me I was showing a little skin.

"Yeah, sure I don't mind."

"Did someone torture you?" he asked.

"Yeah. Someone I hated. I'm over it now, though. I'm in a better place now."

"Well, since you helped me. Give me a name. I'll find him and torture him back," he stated casually.

"Seriously?" I asked, amused.

He nodded. He looks serious.

"Well, her name is Fliory. Find that damn human for me then," I said and fixed my things. I bid my goodbye and left.

When I left the mall, I sighed. I had fun meeting that weird as guy.

WHEN I CAME home I went to the bedroom to change and looked for Rein. After minutes of walking around the house I didn't find him. Magnus also arrived just in time.

"Rein isn't coming home for weeks. He has another job to do," Magnus said. He noticed that I was looking for him.

"How is he?" I will ask. Magnus looked at me with his questioning eyes. Everything is suspicious to this guy. "I saw him looking so not good this morning," I explained. Magnus removed his neck tie and his tuxedo.

"He's fine. Don't mind him."

"Then I'll do house chores from now on?" Magnus nodded. "What?" Magnus didn't answer when he entered, Jax followed him.

"I will," he said with a smile. "And Rein told me to never entrust you anything but passing utensils, closing windows, unplugging, and killing cockroaches."

That's a very specific. I would want to smack Rein when he comes back.

"That guy had the guts to tell you those?" inis kong sbai.

"Yep and he told me the reason. It's because he don't trust you enough to do anything alone." I rolled my eyes with his reasons. I though we were having progress. That guy! I will kick his balls.

"Arg! That guy told you that ?!" Jax nodded. That Rein was really dead to me when he came home.

"Time to cook!" Jax shouted and went to the kitchen. "You coming?" he asked me. Do I look like I have a choice?

I headed to the top where Magnus was. I found him in his office, busy on his laptop.

You open the door and knock before entering.

"Yes?" I can tell he has something else in mind. He wasn't being playful and he sounded tired.

"I just want to ask something."

He looked at me and seemed to be waiting for what I would say. His silence is bothering me.

“I would like to ask if I can leave here, I don't mean to stop working but to stop living here as I work. I want to rent my own place and go home there when my job is down, ”I explained. It's not gonna be soon but it's a plan, so I wanted him to know.

I waited for him to say something but he just kept looking at me. maya maya rin ang pagkunot ng noo niya, so I started to feel really awkward. I didn't say anything bad.

"Are you ok?" I will ask. “Do you have a lot in mind? I'll come back tomorrow then. ”

I was about to leave when he spoke. "You're fired."
