Janvier ran out of Veronica's car once they arrive at home. She runs in, throwing her back pack down on the ground. She runs upstairs ignoring Angel who was looking into a hand mirror, glaring at a pimple threatening to pop out on her cheek. Angel ignored her as well...only getting up to throw herself at Veronica.
She sees Chua just making her way out of her room with a mop.
"What were you doing in my room"
"Cleaning it Miss"
Her heart pounded faster. "But....Sophia always cleans my room. Where is she"
Chua's face saddened as she replied. "No one in the house hold knows where she is right now"
"What? Did you check her room"
"I did but..." Chua hesitates. ".....Her wardrobe was empty. The room was devoid of anything that belonged to her Miss"
.....
Jason was on his laptop when someone suddenly shuts it hard almost snapping his fingers off. He looked up angrily to see Janvier glaring back at him.
"Where is she"
She jiggled a key up which meant that she had locked his room door.
"Who?"
She frowned. "Who else?"
Jason looked down, avoiding her stony gaze.
"She's gone Janvier" He heard a heart breaking sound from her throat. "She left this morning".
"No!!! It can't be true. Why didn't she tell me ...She tried to but I just couldn't listen to her. She was my best friend. How could she do this" She sobbed.
She looked at Jason surprised. He was on his laptop again. She shut it abruptly again.
"What now?"
"So you're just going to sit here?"
"What do you want me to do. Go all the way and do what Janvier. Beg her to come back?"
"Yes"
"Why? Because she's your best friend"
"No. Because you love her"
Jason made to open his laptop but freezes when he heard her. He looks at her and for a while he thought of it.
Do I really love her? Does it explain why I still have this empty feeling in my heart since she left. Even when Angel is here. Does it explain why I can't get her face off my memory any more... Do I really love her. No...No I don't. I can never ...
"You're crazy" he managed to say.
"Do you think I don't know what's happening in this house ....but I just choose to remain mute all the while?"
Jason ignored her. He didn't want to see her cry.
".....When you brought her here the first time, I noticed she had nothing with her. Not even a purse. She was here with a bruised leg which she told me was from a gun shot. But she didn't say who shot her. And one day....I was searching your car for Nathaniel's medical reports and I saw a gun inside your car" Jason glances at her but refocused his gaze on his laptop. "I suspected that you had forced her here for some reason to work as a maid because of how rebellious she behaved towards everyone. I had a feeling she was not really a maid. But I didn't say anything.."
"Janvier..."
"Let me finish!!!!" She glared at him and he kept mute. "....I noticed how you started acting towards her after that kiss....."
"The kiss was a mistake...."
"Was the kiss in the garden a mistake too" When Jason didn't say anything, she continued. "Then one night during Veronica's party, you just disappeared along with Sophia. And when you guys returned, I noticed she was acting cold towards you. Then there was the kiss in the garden. And after some days, she just leaves without letting any one know"
Jason didn't say anything
"Tell me Jason" Jason looked at her again. "You love her right?"
"You're talking nonsense"
"Tell me....Where is she"
"I can't tell you"
"Why"
"Because if I do you'll end up going to search for her and when you find out about her true life, you'll hate her"
"Ok...If you don't want me to run away from home to do that, why don't you just tell me here, right now. Who is she"
Jason sighed. "I...."
"Answer me straight. Who is she"
"She...She's not really a maid Janvier"
Janvier's eyes widen.
"She's the daughter of a late billionaire. Someone you know too well....."
"Who?"
"Mr. Pueterico".
