"Akala ko resign ka na, bro." Sabi niya. "May pumalit na sa 'yong bago." Dagdag niya pa sabay nguso sa likuran ko. Pagtingin ko, may isang lalaki na nagpupunas ng mesa sa hindi kalayuan. Bagong empleyado.

"Oh, Mr. Clemente? Kamusta ka? Anong kailangan mo?" He asked.
Nagngitngit agad ako sa galit. Nawalan ako ng sasabihin. Parang gusto ko siyang sapakin dahil sa ginawa niya.

Mamaya pa namang ten ang pasok ko kaya may oras pa ko para dumaan sa mga fast food at magpasa ng resume.Nahinto pa ko saglit sa harapan ng apartment ni Zena.

Maybe he's with Zena.

Race's POV I don't know how I got back to my apartment. All I could remember is that I go to bar with the guys and got wasted. Napabangon ako sa pagkakahiga at napapikit nang makadama ng kirot sa ulo. My vission's still spinning. Parang dinudurog ang utak ko. Siguro sila Enzo ang naghatid sa akin pauwi. Hindi ko na halos maalala. Tatayo na sana ako nang bigla na lamang may kumatok sa pinto. I strode towards the door and pulled it, revealing the confused look on Trish's face.
