He feels so lucky like he won the lottery just

Your desk and pedestal cabinets are both new," the HR manager said. "Thank you! I feel so excited to work. It' so much better here than in school," Zofi said.The people around look to each other as if saying she doesn't know what she's up to. "Let her discover and learn on her own. For now, let her enjoy the honeymoon stage at work," one of her senior colleagues said.Come midmorning, everyone is already busy working while Zofi finds herself bored reading the company manual.

Summer, 2019"You're working on weekends now?" Billie asked Zofi.The two next door neighbors now."We have teambuilding," Zofi said."Ah, you should be ready with your ideas for mission/vision," he said."Oh, it's actually more of bonding," she said."Your HR plans teambuilding that way?" he said."Well, it's just our unit doing this. Ms. Mitch thought it would be best for the team to go out and bond on one weekend. They haven't done it for so long," she said."Okay, then. I'm the only one who's going to pick up Saatchi from the airport," he said."Why does it have to be you? I mean, does she have no relatives?" she asked."Because she's staying in our house. She's our guest," he explained."Alright. You're close," she said."You still don't you like her, do you?" he asked."Oh, I think it's the other way around," she said."Alright then, let's not meet this weekend," he said.Saturday comes.

Chapter 6: Broken Date

Zofi has been staring at the colorful cotton candy for a few minutes now. "Are you feeling guilty too?" Billie asked. "I feel bad for her. I didn't know she liked you that much," Zofi said. The two sit on the bench near the Ferris Wheel. The amusement park is full of young people like them who probably have not yet entirely moved on from being kids. "We could've enjoyed the rides with her. I feel her loneliness," she said. "I know. And considering the mission that we've done for others, I feel I abandoned her," he said. Zofi pats Billie's back. "Don't be so hard on yourself. It's not your fault if you don't feel the same way for her," she said. "There's too much going on inside my head this past week," he said. "I haven't been a bother to you lately so besides the situation with Saatchi, what else has been bothering you?" Zofi asked. Billie becomes quiet. "C'mon, tell me," she said. Billie sighed. "Cindy hasn't returned my calls or messages this entire week," he said.

Chapter 7: No Date

Billie and Zofi sit on the couch looking at the TV. They're not watching. They're just staring at it. "Do you want anything to munch or drink? Softdrinks? Juice?" Billie asked. Zofi grabbed one throw pillow and hugs it. "Are we going to pass the night like this?" he asked. "Tell me why were you sad yesterday. I see you're still sad until today," Zofi asked. "Then, tell me why did you go to your parents' house," he asked. Zofi sighed. "I was devastated and I couldn't go to you because you were unreachable and I recalled you telling me last night that you already had so much in your head, I shouldn't add up to that," she said. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "Is it still about her?" she asked. Billie nodded. He can't say anything after that. "You don't have to tell me now if you're not ready yet," she said. Billie is still quiet. "I think I'm hungry now. Let eat whatever you have in your fridge," she said. "Cindy married his employer," he said quickly. His eyes start to te

Chapter 8: No Chance Date

Zofi wiped traces of pizza sauce off Billie’s mouth. They spent the night airing out each other’s heartaches until he fell asleep on the couch without brushing his teeth. It moved her to smile seeing him messed up, a far cry from his usual self. “Shoot, I slept with pizza sauce in my mouth,” Billie said after waking up and tasting the pizza sauce on his mouth. “You're so gross,” Zofi began joking. “Give me your phone,” Billie asked. “My phone? Oh, you’re lucky, I forgot to take a photo of your helpless moment,” she said. “C’mon, give it to me. I don’t trust you,” he said. Zofi giggles more. She once took a photo of him in an awkward pose and showed it to others. He learned his lesson to be always careful. “You’re invading my privacy,” she reminded her jokingly as she hands her phone to him “Well, you can't blame me,” he said as he scrolls her phone. “You’re running late,” she reminded him of the time. “What's my breakfast?” he asked trying to start teasing her again. “

“Are these your bags?” Zofi’s mother asked while looking at the two medium sized luggage bags near her room's door.“Yes plus I have my carry on,” Zofi answered.“No, I meant to ask if these are just the ones you’re bringing? These are very few,” her mother clarified.Zofi smiled. “I’ve always been a light traveler. I don’t bring a lot. I can buy stuff from there,” she said.“But it isn’t just a vacation or a short trip. You’ll be based there,” her mother said.“I know and I want everything to be new,” Zofi answered.“But at least bring some pictures. Here are some good ones from your albums,” her mother asked again.“Pictures? I have a lot in my phone if I want to see your faces,” Zofi answered.“Alright. I’ll return these in your room,” her mother said.A picture slipped from the albums her mother is holding. She picked it up and saw it’s her and Billie’s picture from high school taken during the dance where she dolled up Cindy. They looked so happy in the picture and clueless

It’s already past noon when Zofi arrived at her temporary Airbnb accommodation.“How was your flight, Ms. Zofi? We were expecting you earlier,” the receptionist asked casually.“The flight was smooth but it was delayed so I just arrived now,” Zofi answered.“Our housekeeping is short-staffed today but you will be the next to be assisted,” the receptionist said.“Excuse me, are these your only bags?” a guy resting in the lobby asked. He looks like a foreigner.Zofi smiled but didn’t say a word. The guy is a stranger.“I can help you bring these to your unit,” he offered.“Is that okay, Sir Richard?” the receptionist asked.“If that’s okay with her,” Richard said. He must have sensed that Zofi is not trusting him.“Ms. Zofi, he’s Sir Richard. He’s also our guest. Sir Richard, this is Ms. Zofi,” the receptionist introduced them.“It’s okay, I can wait for the staff. Thank you, Richard,” she said.“Alright then. I’ll go up now.
