Kabanata 16 Possessive

Nakauwi na siya sa bahay after ng incident sa elevator. She’s not claustrophobic kaya nagtataka siya at nahimatay siya kanina. Marahil ay dala na din ng sobrang pagod niya sa trabaho.

Nag-ring ang cellphone niya. Tumatawag si Caleb.

“Hello, Caleb.”

“I’ve heard what happened. I hope you’re fine. Kumusta ka? Do you need me to go there?”

“No, I’m good. Don’t worry. Thank you.”

“I’m glad to hear that. And also, I just want to remind you about the event tomorrow.”

“What’s the occasion? I’m sorry, I forget about it.”

“It’s the birthday party of Mr. Chavez. He’s showing interest to invest in Sky-High Hotels. So, we need to get close to him.”

“Oh. Yeah, I remember. I don’t have new clothes to wear.”

“Actually, I already bought an outfit for you. Alam kong wala kang oras mamili. Ipapadala ko sa house mo."

“Wow, you’re such an angel.”

Itinali niya ang mahabang buhok. Make-up na manipis at ang ipinadalang damit at sapatos ni Caleb ang suot niya. May kasama pang alahas na bagay sa damit niya.
