CHAPTER 4

“Follow?” he glared at me and asked.

"YES, YOU FOLLOW ME BECAUSE YOU WANT MY BODY!!!" What a pervert!

"What the heck are you talking about Miss, I lived here!!" he hazed into my face.

What?

"What?" I ask.

"I fucking lived here, Miss!"

NO WAY!!

"I do not believe it!!!! You can’t be!!!” I couldn't believe it and retreated inside my unit.

"Can be." he seriously said before he glared at me. He slowly walked towards me so I actually retreated inside my condo and gave him a bad look. "Oh, don't come in, you're trespassing!!!" I said but he just smirked at me before he suddenly closed the door in my face.

"HEY G****E!" I screamed because I almost got hit in the face when he closed it. I opened the door again and went out, I caught him entering the next door of my unit.

The guy just smirked at me before he entered and closed his door. I bit my lower lip in annoyance before storming into my condo.

"What an ugly attitude, arrogance! With so many places to live here, if you're really lucky!" I turned to the mirror while talking to myself, and when I saw myself I couldn't help but scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I caress my face and move closer to the mirror. Because of some misfortune that happened to me today, my eyeliner has come off. I look broken-hearted because my make-up is gone.

“AHHHHHHHRRRRRRRR ANNOYING!!!” I fell down on my bed and stomped. "I'LL CATCH YOU TOO DARCY AND CARLINE GET READY!!!" I screamed under the pillow.

I stayed in that position for about half an hour before sitting down and taking my laptop. The next day I opened it I immediately received a call from mom.

She's been calling me almost 10 times but I didn't answer it because my cellphone was stolen, and now in this condition, I don't think I can face her. I slowly removed my wig and also the hair tie.

I let it go before dropping my laptop by my side and lying down. I stared at the ceiling while listening to the constant ringing of the call.

I bitterly smile before I cover my face and close my eyes.

I didn't realize that I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the morning. I left my laptop open with 37 missed calls from mom.

I settled in the middle of my bed before opening the game on my laptop. "I'm too stressed now I have to play." My mom and I used to play video games and COD while I was young. He is the one who taught me how to do this in situations like this in my life.

I just choose to play when I'm too stressed, I put my headset on and play. I was so focused on the game when Naivy called.

"Oh shit!!" I cursed when I saw my character die from a sniper shoot. "Wrong timing, Naivs," I whisper before I quickly run into the bathroom and wash my face.

I hurriedly ran to the bed and answered the video call, I even put a facial mask on my face as I show myself on the screen.

"Let me guess, you're playing right?" smiling and his soft voice said. "Good you know, and now you actually thought of calling me haha" gosh, I miss this girl.

"How's your business there in New York?" he asked, "It's ok, still growing haha" when I lied, they all know that I have my own business now but look at me now. Still searching for those people who stole my money.

Even if I want to tell them everything that happened to me, I know I can't because if I tell them, Mom will know right away. I don't want anyone to know that I'm sloppy here in New York.

They can't find out even one of them, I will get my money back and fulfill all the words I left them. I'm the one who wants it so I have to stand up for it.

"Actually, Ellouise and I were planning on visiting you there in New York ---" I cut her out and said, "DO NOT!!!" I panicked because I knew with a snap of a finger they could fly to it if they wanted to.

"No? Why?” she asks.

"No hahaha don't come here to New York first, oh, the crisis here in New York is acute right now and the people at the airport are very strict, you and Bunny might just end up bleeding at that airport. So don't leave here, if everything is ok I will pick you up there in the Philippines." I let it slip, it's a good thing my brain moves quickly in this situation if I don't get busted right away.

"Is that so, ok next time. Just tell us when we're allowed to go there, ah. By the way, I will send you some Pilipino treats there in New York give me your address.” she said.

"Don't be naive, I'm fine here and there are many Pinoy shops here in New York so I can also shop here. And I'm on another diet now, I'm making myself look sexy" I joked.

She chuckled and smile "Love let's go" I stopped and foolishly looked at him from the screen, he looked at her before kissing her in front of the screen.

I rolled my eyes and smiled at them. "Ahm.. Oliv, we have to go now" he said with a smile so I laughed and just nodded. "Go ahead and have forever!" I said and turned the call.

Because of what I saw, I suddenly missed my boyfriend so I called him on the laptop for a video call.

"I guess I'm still asleep" I whispered to myself as I waited for him to answer.

I tried to call him several times but he didn't answer, he was probably still asleep because he was tired from training and it was still early in the morning.

While staring at the laptop screen, I suddenly remembered the look of the man who brought me to the police station earlier. If it wasn't for him, I would have caught Darcy and Carline.

If only he had let me go, I would have gotten my money back from those two witches, I wouldn't be lying to my family and friends now.

I should have started building my shop. But while thinking about that, I couldn't help but remember his handsome face. Yes, I'm sure that man is handsome, but he's arrogant.

Its white skin, thin lips, thick eyebrows and moles on the sides of the eyes and lips. "HEY!!! WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THAT, OLIVIA AH!!! DON'T FALL FOR BEAUTIFUL!” I remind myself and go back to playing.

I just play the whole morning dawn until the sunrises, and I prepare for work. I showered and dressed in front of the mirror, while wearing my bra and panties on, I stare at my body and gently trace my tattoo using my finger.

I used to get tattoos before coming here to New York for no reason. I got a tattoo because I want my future boyfriend to kiss it, but Anton and I have been together for two years now, and nothing is happening between the two of us.

I have this tattoo below my right breast that says あなたのために予約済み (Anata no tame ni yoyaku-zumi- Reserved for you)

Yes, I know it's corny, but there's no breaking the trip!

"Lord, why is it that Anton is so innocent when he hasn't grabbed me during our      Monthsary, Lord, I'm telling you, I'll be the one to crawl on him," I said determinedly before getting dressed and putting on my wig.

It takes me 10 minutes on putting my wig on because I have to stick it on to make it look real. Even my dark makes up takes 15 minutes so I'm always late but today I'm sure I won't be late.

“Good morning manager!!! I'm an early bird today" I whispered enthusiastically as I walked out of the condominium building.

“Good morning, New York!!!” I shouted raising both hands. But it seemed like my happy day was suddenly replaced by bad luck when a BMW passed in front of me, causing water to splash on my thigh on the road.

"AHHHH!!!" I screamed loudly and couldn't immediately move from where I was standing, my skirt and boots were soaked because of that BMW.

"Fucking shit!" I stammered before looking at the distant BMW. "I hope you crash!!!" I have no choice but to go back inside the condominium and go upstairs again to change clothes.

That's why I'm late again!!! “POLAAAAAA!!!!!” I cover my ears and run to the changing room. I hurriedly got dressed and ran out. "Sorry, manager," I said and ran to the elevator with my cleaning cart.

I started my work like a routine, I always end up in dirty rooms. Just cleaning all day until the last room that I will clean today.

I rubbed my arm on my forehead to wipe my forehead but when I opened the last room, I was surprised to see a customer inside. Wait, I thought the person who checked in here had already left.

"Sorry Sir," I said and was about to go out but suddenly he grabbed my arm and I faced him with a smile. "You look hot, wanna stay the night with me Shorty," said this kano.

But I immediately shook my head and said, "No thank you, Sir, I have to go" I politely said and tried to remove his hand from my arm.

"Oh, come on, I will make you happy don't worry," he said and suddenly licked my cheeks. Because of that I was surprised and pushed him away with all my might.

"You are rude!!!" I hazed and was about to step out when he grabbed my uniform and hugged me from behind. "Nasty, I like it," he said rudely before squeezing my left breast.

I fought back and stepped on his foot hard and faced him, I kick his thing and push him away before I run out of that room.

I quickly took the elevator and got off, panting and leaning on the side inside the elevator when it opened, I quickly went to the staff room and immediately changed.

I timed out and quickly left that hotel, while walking to the cafe I hated covering my chest because of that pestilent canoe.

"That's rude, thank you, that's not all he got from me---ouch!" I suddenly bumped into someone.

"Sorry Miss" I was stunned to recognize that voice, when I looked at it I was shocked because I bumped into Arries. My brother

But that suddenly disappeared when I noticed the bruise on the side of his lips. "What happened to your face?" without my own words, I tried to reach him when he spoke. "I'm sorry Miss, I didn't see you coming," he said and walked past me.

He didn't seem to recognize me but I was softening watching him walk away. He got into a fight, and I can't do anything about it. I can't even touch his face because I'm hiding from him.

I don't know if he's doing fine, I don't know what's going on at his university. If he is ok there, I should be his guardian here in New York but here I am hiding from all of them.

I bitterly smile before I walk straight to my second work and wear the mascot uniform. “Ma’am/ Sir, t-try our s-shop” I was sobbing while giving flyers to the people. 

Crying inside this mascot because I feel so worthless sister.

"Ma'am/Sir, try our coffee and cakes it's yummy" it's a good thing I'm wearing a mascot uniform, I don't have to hold back my tears.

"Ma'am/Sir, our coffee is yum---" I didn't finish what I was going to say when a woman suddenly took my flyers and threw them in the air, and let them spread all around.

"MA'AM!" I said and looked at her with disbelief, but instead of apologizing she laughed at me and put her middle finger on it. "YOU POOR WORKER, JUST DIE!!" he shouted drunkenly and left.

I was left here staring at the scattered flyers, slowly I kneel and pick them up one by one. Again, I shed tears and frustration.

"Are you ok Pola?" Ma'am Tallia asked as I removed the mascot I was wearing; I know my eyes were red and a bit swollen but I choose to smile at her and speak.

"I'm fine just got something in my eyes," I said, avoiding her gaze and grabbing my things. I went home to my condo and immediately grabbed a beer from the fridge.

I left the room and went up to the rooftop of this building. No one climbs up there because it's not allowed, but I'm the only one who gets through.

When I went out the door, I took a deep breath before closing my eyes and letting the cool breeze from above hug me. I sat at the end of the rooftop where you can see the bottom of the building.

“NO MONEY!!! NO CELL PHONE!! NO BUSINESS! PROUD OF BEING ABLE TO LIVE AS YOU ARE NOW! WRONG, USELESS, AND A HUGE FAILURE!!!” I shouted all out and straight up the whole bottle of beer.

"Hahahhaha" it was crazy because I was laughing and crying at the same time. “MY LIKE SOCKS!!!!!!!!” I shouted and stood up.

I just stood up--- “NO!!!” I was surprised when suddenly someone shouted and someone suddenly hugged my waist and pulled me down.

We both fell to the floor and immediately walked away from it, when I face him, my eyes widened, and said, "YOU!!!!" I shouted seeing this man again.

It's him!

He strokes his hair up using his fingers and glared at me, "ARE YOU REALLY TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF MISS!!!" he shouted angrily making my forehead frown

. 

I will kill myself? WHY?!

"I'm not trying to kill myself!!!" I said and he stood up. "Asshole!" I whispered and stood up, giving him a bad look before he spoke.

"Good, kill yourself when I'm out of here because I don't wanna be involved in some waste-robbed girl's death." He nodded and put his hand in his pocket before walking away from the rooftop.

After closing the door, he said, "I AM A WASTE ROBBED GIRL!!!! ARE YOU STUPID!!! YOU'RE THE ONE THERE I'M NOT GOING TO KILL YOU FEELING LIKE A SUPERHERO YOUR ATTITUDE IS BAD!!!" I stomped in annoyance before throwing the bottle against the wall.

"AGHHHH THAT'S ANNOYING!!!"
