Aside from that, my absence would jeopardize my chances of being selected and offered an award which I was expecting. The stakes were high, and I knew I had to act swiftly to get back my missing identity card. As if to add to the existing chaos, my phone began to ring with Jackson's name hovering over the screen. I didn't want to pick it up so I allowed it to continue ringing.When it persisted, I decided to pick up the call. "Hey, buddy!"

ISABEL.After deciding to rest, my sleep was abruptly interrupted by a call. The promptness of Mom's call which she redialed after the initial call went unanswered signified the urgency of her message."Hello, Mom," I answered, my voice slightly muddled from the sudden awakening, "I was just trying to catch some sleep.""I apologize for the interruption, dear. I had no idea you were resting," My mother replied, with concern. "Please don't let me keep you up any longer. We can talk when you've had a chance to rest. Take care of yourself."No Mom, speak I'm listening.""If you're certain, I won't hesitate to share what's on my mind," My mother responded, "I'd like to have your address, in case I'm able to visit San Francisco in the next month. It would be wonderful to spend some time with you. If that'll be possible.""I'm staying at a hotel right now," I explained, " My residence is at Dawn Hotel, located on Lane 3 of Groove Street.

MAVISEmbarking on my first night flight was exhilarating. I eagerly anticipated the experience. I grabbed my phones and informed Matilda about it but she advised that I be patient until the next day.I convinced her of my reasons for leaving and of course, it was a lie. As Nathan drove the car through the gate, my phone buzzed with a message from Bennett. It said that Isabel doesn't have my identity card or the other items, and so going to San Francisco would be pointless.I decided to ignore the message from Bennett. I wanted to find out if what I imagined was true or not."Are you planning on coming back anytime soon, sir?" Nathan asked, slowing down the car. "If it were possible to return tonight, I will do so. I don't intend to overstay, I got an important event in two days."We drove silently to the airport.

I could come with you."I gently shook my head in refusal, offering an alternative, "I promise we'll plan a trip together soon. But really, how would you manage to accompany me to work? It's simply not practical," I said, lightly chuckling at her suggestion to diffuse the tension.My response made her ponder for a while, "Mavis... Do you still have feelings for her?"Taken aback by the unexpected question, I stammered, "For who?""I mean, for your step-sister, Isabel.""What? Why would you ask that? What a question!"Persisting, she replied, "A question deserves an answer, so please tell me. Do you still have feelings for Isabel?" She looked at me, as she pushed the door knobRetaining my composure, I responded, "I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that. There are simply no words to convey the complexity of my emotions."She seemed unconvinced, "Re

Upon returning to the hotel, I hired a driver to help transport my items from the hotel to my recently purchased residence. After carefully putting them in the car's boot, we drove out of the hotel premises. I was excited about moving into a new apartment and the idea that I would be living alone, made me feel like a boss of my own.

MAVIS "Isabel? Hello? Are you there?" I repeated in frustration, drawing the phone away from my ear. Much to my surprise, the call had already been disconnected, leaving me to stare at the screen with a mixture of confusion and disappointment. The unexpected end to our conversation only added to the growing unease that had been building within me. It was embarrassing to me that the receptionist was watching as my step-sister disconnected the call without letting me finish talking. "Sir, if I may ask, did Miss Isabel happen to provide you with her address before the call ended?" The receptionist inquired, with a tone of concern. He could have sensed my consternation as I stood there, grappling with the abrupt termination of the phone conversation. I shook my head in response, "Unfortunately, no." I forced a smile to show that it was something I could handle. "She's a little upset with me, but we can talk it over when we meet," Smiling at me, he responded. "Alright, so, is th

Stepping out of my home, I walked toward your neighbor's house, the anticipation of the evening mingling with the cool evening breeze. The door was opened by Eric, who welcomed you with a warm smile. "Hi, welcome." His eyes glanced at my fingers briefly before he looked up. "Miss Isabel," What did the gesture imply? He wanted to check if I had a ring on my finger so he would know how to address me. It was simply crazy but I ignored it. "Over here," He led me, "Please sit and welcome to my home," His house was cozy, emitting a welcoming atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. "You have a beautiful place," "I'm delighted.
