POTENTIAL: TWENTY-THREE

ALEX POV

"We'll just accompany Trisha outside, Ma!" Maica informed, which her mother agreed to. We all went out of the door and headed towards Trisha's car.

"Are you alone?" I asked Trisha as she opened the driver's seat door.

Trisha nodded. "We don't have a driver ever since he found out what Papa did. He was probably scared that he might end up in jail because he was Papa's driver whenever he had appointments," she explained.

"Are you okay going home alone?" Maica added.

Trisha gave us her reassuring smile when she noticed our concern. "I'm okay, Maica. I'll be careful."

"Alright then. Take care!" Maica instructed her new friend.

"Thank you, Maica. You too!" Trisha replied and got into her car. The engine started along with the headlights. The car honked, signaling that she was about to leave. We waved goodbye as her car moved away from where we were standing.
