2024-10-29 19:42:56AFTER arguing what clothes to take, I shut them out and prepare myself for work.
Its Devon's first day in his job. I hope he'll be fine.
Sumakay na ako sa kotse ko at nag-drive sa pinakalamapit na cake store, wala sa sarili akong napabili ng cake.
Huli na nang mapagtanto ko nang ito ay maibigay ko na sa administration staff ko para mapagsaluhan nila. Naiiling akong pumasok sa'king opisina.
Nadatnan ko si Dev na naka-upo sa sofa habang kausap si Iñigo.
"What's going on?" Tanong ko tsaka umupo sa'king upuan.

Pina-upo ako ni Dev sa kaniyang hita habang siya naman ay nakaluhod sa sahig. Pinagsasampal ko na ang pisnge ko para hindi matawa pero sa tuwing nakikita ko si Dev parang sinasapian ako ng demonyo.

"Oh, goodness! I'm not gonna kill myself, get out!" I shouted from the bathroom. "Just making sure, fucker." I heard Aza shouted. I rolled my eyes and started taking a bath. Afterwards, I dry myself and wear the dress. I paired it with my favorite heels. I contacted the roses boutique where Dev usually buy his flowers. I ordered a bunch of them, Dev would love it if his coffin is surrounded with flowers. I went down to the living room with the phone in my hand. Everything is set, I smiled to the workers and request to have all the flowers removed. They followed my request, after a couple of hour the white daffodils arrived. They started designing again.
