ChantriaI excused myself to go to the CR to get Iwatani's shirt. It's black and a bit big for me. I just tucked it in so I wouldn't look too big.When I went out of the cubicle, I saw Lorreine and Louella with some of our classmates. Some of them were retouching their makeup even though they were already going home. I just stayed there and washed my face."Are you okay?" Louella asked. "There was a big stain on your clothes earlier. Do you think it will come off?"I shrugged. "Maybe. It was just iced tea."I put my dirty clothes in a plastic bag. I only had a small bag with me so I couldn't put it inside. We were going home anyway so I just carried it."Do you have a relationship with Iwatani?" Rizelle asked. "Don't be offended or anything, okay? We're just curious."I looked at my classmates who were also waiting for my answer. Even Makino seemed to be waiting for my response.I shook my head at them. "We don't have a relationship. If you're referring to being friends, then yes, we'

ChantriaI'm with Iwatani at the market for our picnic food. I don't know how our other classmates found out, but Gab and his friends will be joining us in our plan.I'm not sure who told them even though I know Lorreine is involved. I don't want to talk about it anymore because Louella and Iwatani agreed to it.Furthermore, it's not like he's exclusive to our group of friends. Only the overnight stay is exclusive because I won't allow anyone else to join us. That is supposed to be our bonding."Are you okay?" he asked. "Just hold on to me because it's a bit crowded. We might get separated.""I'm not a baby, you know." I weakly chuckled because I still held onto his arm so I wouldn't get lost.I'm not familiar with the place. As he said, it's crowded and there are so many people. It's Saturday. That's why I think there are a lot of people. Today is the only chance for us to go to the market because our picnic is later. We couldn't do it yesterday because we got home late, and there wa

ChantriaThis park is very spacious. There aren't too many people around and the surroundings are very clean. Almost only children are here playing, so we have a lot of places to choose from where we can eat.The men arranged the blanket we were going to sit on while the women laid out our food.After we finished arranging everything, we all sat on two large blankets. I sat next to Lorreine and Iwatani. Louella was in front of me because we were on the edge.Eric and Aaron kept laughing, so we couldn't help but laugh too. These two are really funny, especially when they're together. And Lorreine is great at joining in on their jokes.When we started eating, I couldn't help but be amazed by how delicious the food was. I also noticed that we all had the same reaction when we tasted it."You're so good, Gab!" We laughed at Lorreine's exclamation. "Just kidding! But you're really good at cooking, Gab! I didn't expect that, you know? I thought heirs like you are spoiled. Like you have a pe

ChantriaI laughed softly. "Does it mean that I can possibly like two men?" Well, the thought of that scares me."Don't get me wrong. I said you like us both but it's like liking a friend and liking a man." I paused for a moment. "I really can't explain this without giving an example."I raised my eyebrows in anticipation. He sounds like a love guru right now. It's like he knows a lot about love."Think of it as me liking you, and me liking your sister, Carleigh." I stopped at what he said. Okay? So, he's making himself an example. I don't know what to feel right now."What do you like about me?" he asked.I cleared my throat. "What? If you suddenly ask me that, how can I answer right away?""It's okay. Take your time. What do you like about me and how did you know you like me?"I took a deep breath and thought carefully. "I like you because you're always there for me whenever I need help. You were there when I needed someone to lean on. And you make me feel comfortable.""Like a frie

ChantriaThe time passed by and I suddenly lost my mood. Almost all sections were dancing and all special guests were singing as if the wind just blew by.I told myself that I should enjoy the night. But here I am, overthinking. I couldn't help but be curious about what Makino and the others were talking about earlier. Why was he laughing so heartily a while ago? Is he happier with Makino?"The night is still young, folks," Jared said. "This is your chance to dance with your boyfriend, girlfriend, and crushes. Don't be shy because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity."When I heard that, I felt even more dejected. When I saw Lorreine stand up with the guy who asked her to dance, I wanted to sink into my seat. I think Louella and Iwatani also wanted to dance, but they couldn't because of me.I was starting to feel dejected when someone extended their hand to me. "May I have this dance?" he stammered as he asked me.My heart almost stopped when I realized it was Gab who was offering

ChantriaWe partied all night. After the slow dance in the wee hours of the morning, we ate again to have more energy. "The night is still young," as President Jared said. The party ended at five, so we still had three hours to have fun.We danced in the middle when the music turned into a rock song. Lorreine was almost going crazy, as if she was drunk. Although I'm not as energetic as she is, I still tried to keep up with her because I was in a good mood too.A lot happened tonight. My feelings were like a rollercoaster earlier. My heart beat faster as I danced with Gab, I felt sad seeing him happy with Makino, then I found out he rejected her and still wanted me.Staring at Gab, I still can't believe he's mine. It wasn't that long ago when I was really annoyed at him for calling me a gold digger. It wasn't that long ago when I avoided him because I was afraid of what he would say to me.But here we are now, smiling like two idiots in the middle of the dance floor. Even though we kno

Chantria"Hey!" Lorreine exclaimed. "Louella and I are going to Intramuros. Do you want to come along?"I and Iwatani looked at Lorreine while lifting weights. They had just arrived while we were almost leaving."Actually," she continued, "I'm just tagging along with them. Tita has some business there, so I said I'll come. Louella said she'll come too.""Why not?" I replied. "It's already vacation time, and we don't have anything to do. Is it okay with you, Iwatani?""I'm not busy either. I can tag along.""It's a deal, then!"Once again, the gym was filled with laughter because of Lorreine. She's friends with everyone here, and I couldn't help but also get to know some of them because of her.How I wish I had her confidence in making friends. But then again, I am selective in choosing friends. I prefer having a few but trustworthy friends than having many but not knowing them well enough.Not that I'm saying that Lorreine doesn't know her friends. She probably knows all of them. But

Chantria"So, who's the other guy?" she asked while looking at my friends who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the tension between the two of us had subsided.I looked at my friends because I wasn't sure who she was referring to. "Who? Iwatani?""The other one. The cute one." My eyes twinkled because both Iwatani and Gab were cute. "The new one. I already met that Japanese-looking guy. The other one. The Spanish-looking one."I nodded. "That's Gab. My boyfriend."She raised an eyebrow in my direction. "I thought the other one was your boyfriend.""No, he's not. He's my bodyguard. What about that guy? Your boyfriend?"She rolled her eyes. "My bodyguard, Chantria. Dad didn't just assign a bodyguard to you. And he's annoying. There's no way in hell he's my boyfriend."I laughed at what she said. "You two look cute together."She grinned at me because of what I said. "You and your bodyguard look cute together too."I gave her a stern look. "He rejected me already.

ChantriaI slowly opened my eyes, but quickly shut them again due to the pain in my head. But when everything came back to me, I quickly got up from my bed. I ignored the throbbing pain in my senses because there was only one thing I wanted to see right now."Carleigh!" I exclaimed as I entered the living room of our house with Chanel.Chanel and Iwatani, who were playing Xbox, both turned to look at me. Iwatani immediately stopped playing to talk to me."She's in the kitchen," Chanel replied. "She said she wanted to cook for you."I didn't finish what she was saying and ran to the kitchen. There I saw her back turned on me. She was mixing something in the pan.Tears once again fell from my eyes. I can't believe that she's really here. It wasn't a dream. She's really in front of me."Carleigh..." I said.She turned around briefly, surprised at my sudden speech. "Chantria, you're awake. How are you feeling? I'm cooking soup."I didn't pay attention to what she was saying and ran to her

Chantria"Woah! Woah! Calm down, princess," Lance said with both hands raised in the air."You said you're friends with Iwatani. You lied to me!""I didn't lie, miss. Iwatani is my best friend.""If he's your friend, why are you with this guy?" I pointed the gun at Gab, who was calmly standing near a car. He leaned on it, looking at me as if he wasn't scared of what I was holding."Isaac? Why? He's not my best friend, but we're friends too. Do you know him?""I don't just know him. I know him well."Lance turned to his friend when he asked, so Gab answered. "She's Chantria, Lance. Or you might know her as Seanne."Lance's jaw dropped and he seemed frozen in place. "This is the girl you're crazy about? I didn't expect this from you."I tried not to react to what Lance said. He might be lying. No. He's definitely lying. Iwatani isn't even here, as he said. How can I trust someone like him?"Great," I said. "We're already here anyway. Why don't you answer my questions, Gabriele? Where's

ChantriaAfter a long day at work, I went straight to our house with Chanel. And yes, we’re still living together. However, we rarely see each other except in the morning before we go to work. But I was surprised because she came home early today."You're early," I greeted her. I also slumped on the sofa and grabbed the chips she was eating."Just for a change. I need a break," she replied.We were quiet for a while, watching TV when she suddenly spoke. "I heard the one who killed Carleigh is caught." Her voice was low, just enough for me to hear."I don't know yet. But according to Lorreine, the man they caught had something to do with what happened. I don't know if he's the one who killed her or if there's someone else involved.""Why do you seem hesitant? This is what we've been waiting for, right? To find the killer.""I don't know. I don't think I can face him yet."She turned off the TV before facing me. "Let me ask you something. What do you want to do? What kind of revenge are

ChantriaI lowered the cap I was wearing to hide my face a little bit. I also adjusted my fake glasses to see where I was going more clearly.I continued pushing the cleaning supplies towards the elevator. I greeted some people I passed by and they greeted me back, but they didn't ask any further questions.I needed to act as natural as possible. I didn't want to get caught after everything I had done for this mission. I wouldn't leave the hotel without finding any evidence against them.When I reached the twelfth floor, I got off and continued pushing the cleaning supplies towards Gab's room.I looked left and right before inserting the key card and swiping it. I held my breath until the lock clicked, indicating that the door had opened. Lorreine was really reliable in these kinds of tasks.And Chanel would surely scold me if she found out. Iwatani didn't want me to do these things either, so I didn't tell him about my plan. It was better if only Lorreine knew.When I got inside, I l

ChantriaI was staring into space while lost in thought. The encounter we had at 7/11 earlier is still on my mind. I can't believe I saw him again after several months.And he wasn't looking for me, he said. He wouldn't show up if I didn't want to see him. I don't know if I should be happy about what he said or not.But one thing is for sure, he still loves me. Chanel is right. He loves me. Well, he's not sure if he really loves me or not, but he said his feelings haven't changed.There's something inside me that hopes he's telling the truth. There's a part of me that believes he really had nothing to do with what his dad was doing. He was just caught in the middle.Now, I just have to wait. Wait for whatever plan he has in mind. I don't know what kind of plan he'll make, but I will believe in him."Let me have your ice cream." Chanel snatched the ice cream from my hand before I could react and licked it."Chanel!" I tried to take it back from her. "That's mine!""You're not eating it

Chantria"Congratulations on passing the interview," said HR Manager Ms. Dianne Gutierrez. "From here on out, you'll be assigned to different leaders to guide you. I want to introduce you to Miss Anna Marshall, the head of the marketing department."A tall woman with glasses introduced herself. Afterwards, Lorreine and Louella were introduced as Miss Marshall's apprentices."And Miss Yao Lu, the head of the general management." She was a shorter woman with glasses, but with thicker lenses.Chanel and I nodded as she called out our names. We were assigned to her. Only Ma'am Dianne knew who we were to avoid favoritism in the company.We didn't want any privilege as apprentices here. It was already a big help that we were able to get in despite still being in college. We didn't want to abuse our influence. It was also fortunate that we were allowed to bring Louella and Lorreine.It's been a few months since we graduated. We've been busy taking care of our apprenticeship here. Luckily, Da

Chantria"Why are you so surprised to see me?" he asked. "I told you I'm coming today, right? Did you forget?"I forced myself to smile, but it came out awkwardly. "I-I'm just... yeah. I forgot."He chuckled softly. "That's okay. I'll wait for you here so you can freshen up. We're going somewhere, and you're going to love it."He turned to head back to his car when I called out to him. He faced me with a questioning look."What? Is there a problem?" He walked towards me. He reached out his hand to touch me, but I didn't accept it."Let's not go today. I'm not feeling well."Ignoring my rejection of his hand, he touched my forehead. "You don't have a fever. But if you're feeling unwell, we can go there next time. Wait, I'll buy you some medicine."Before I could stop him, he had already left. I let out a sigh before going inside. I needed to figure out a way to get rid of him without him suspecting anything. I knew it was only a temporary solution, but I needed more time to think about

ChantriaI sipped my coffee before facing Iwatani. We were in the living room to introduce me to the important people in the business world. This was the first step in my revenge.Of course, I needed to know who I was going to face. I couldn't just bump into them without knowing anything."First of all, the Zima Company. Your dad's company." I was about to object, but he didn't let me. "Even though you're the heir, I know you haven't met all of your dad's staff yet. Am I right?"I thought about it, and he was right. I didn't know anyone. I knew Joaquin was my dad's secretary before he disappeared, but I didn't know who replaced him. I also hadn't met any of the board members yet because of what happened.He placed a photo of my dad on the table, which I immediately looked at. "Philippio Geronimo Zima. The president and CEO of Zima Corp. As you may know, he owns hotels, restaurants, condominiums, and other residential properties both in and out of the country."He then placed another p
