CHAPTER 21

Traizle This place is too familiar. It's been years since we left this place, so why am I here again? Did I ever go here with my eyes closed? Did I ever walk here while sleeping? Sleepwalking? Isn't it? Where are Lyndon and Layzen? "Traizle! Layzen is very sick, let's go to the hospital!" Lyndon—no, a young Lyndon appeared. I was about to answer him when my younger self approached Lyndon. I can see my younger self. Can they see me too? Am I dreaming of our past... again? "Where are Mom and Dad?" The younger version of me asked the young Lyndon. "Dad left with bags in him. Mom's gone wild inside of their room. I don't know what to do." The young Lyndon answered, almost crying but keeping himself from crying and being strong. I followed them as they entered the house, our old house. Mom is still inside the house, screaming and breaking the glasses inside while crying. The two went to see Layzen, who was burning up with a fever. They don't know what to do with Layzen. They a

CHAPTER 22

Traizle I went to the sales department and asked for the monthly evaluation. I need to check them myself, to lessen Zarsuelo's work. Heading back to our room, I saw him approaching me. "I told you to rest, didn't I?" He asked. "I am okay now. I still must work.” I answered as we continued our walking pace. "Where and what did you do?" He asked again to get the paper I was holding. "Sales department," I answered. "And you? Where are you going?" I asked him back. He immediately smiles. "I wanted to check if you were resting, but since you are saying you are okay now, I will start to pester you." He answered. Showing him my fist. "Not me, Zarsuelo." I told him. "Can I hug you—I am asking for your permission and look at your glaring eyes already." he said, keeping a distance from me. "If somebody hears you, we will be both in the center of talk for a week or month." I told him, also warning him with the circumstances that may happened. He shrugs it off. "I don't care,"

CHAPTER 23

Traizle "Do you guys have an appointment?" Tyler asked, eating his junk food early in the morning. "None, why?" I asked back. Why would he ask about that? Right? Tyler pointed his finger on the outside. Following the direction of his finger, I can see Mr. Andrade outside. Mr. Andrade? What is he doing here? I stood up from my chair. "Shit!" I exclaimed. "I need to go, stop him for a second for me." I told Tyler before running upstairs. I headed to Zarsuelo's office. Entering his office, he is busy munching chocolates again, the plastic wrapper was on his table and he himself is not ready. "Zarsuelo, Mr. Andrade is here." I told him. "And why is he here?" Zarsuelo stopped eating his sweets and looked confused at me. "Stand up," I command. Thankfully, he is cooperating without any hesitations. "May I see your teeth?" I told him. He quickly smiled widely. "Ahh." Zarsuelo said after opening his mouth. I checked his face, removing the chocolate crumbs near his lips and c

CHAPTER 24

Traizle "Oh my gosh! I am sorry, Traizle!" Eva worriedly said. A cup of coffee spilled on my shirt and yes, I am wearing a white shirt. How lucky I am. "No, it's okay. Don't worry." I told Eva while lifting my shirt a little because of the heat. "Are you okay?" Zarsuelo asked worriedly. "I am okay," I answered. "I am sorry for the coffee, are you going to drink it?" I asked Zarsuelo. "I planned to." He answered seriously. "We should check it downstairs, Traizle. It is hot, you might have some burns on your body." Eva suggested. "No need, Eva. I am good, I just need to change my shirt." I told Eva, calming her down. After calming down and making sure that I was okay, Eva was not that worried anymore and smiled at me before she headed back to the cafeteria. It's hot. I hope it does not burn my skin. "Do you have any spare shirt?" Zarsuelo asked while wiping the smeared coffee off my arms and face. "I don't have it," I answered. "I will go out and buy one." I added, abou

CHAPTER 25

Traizle "I see. Thank you for calling me, Zac." I answered. Zac called me. He fetched Layzen from his school and he was with him already. "Is it okay if we go out for a while?" Zac asked on the other line. "Yes, of course. If you are not busy, you guys can." I answered. Layzen must be happy if they are going out even for a while. Staying alone in our house would be a boring day for him. "I am not. We will play for an hour before going home," Zac added. "Also, I don't have to rush the comics since I sent one already." he continued. He was a reliable babysitter. "Just be careful on your way, thank you." I replied. "No worries, it's my job to do this too," Laughing, Zac responded. "Sorry for disturbing you, we will go now. Layzen, do you have anything to say to your sister?" I heard him ask Layzen. "Tell her I will be a good boy and I love her!" I heard Layzen shouting from the other line. "You heard him, right?" Zac asked me, laughing at what Layzen had said. Layzen m

CHAPTER 26

Traizle "You don't really like Sir. Zarsuelo at all?" Claire confirms it. Shaking my head and said, "I don't. I can't understand that idiot. He is toying with me." I replied. "Maybe he really likes you?" Sonia commented, scratching his nose. I sighed. "We have just met for months. We don't know anything about each other. How can he like me that fast?" I asked them. That's impossible. It is just that he is toying with me and my feelings! "Love at first sight?" Alex responded as well. "He never did that to anyone, aside from you. So, we can conclude that he really likes you." he added. Love at first sight? I started to reminisce about our first meeting and his reactions. "He does not show any reaction like he fell in love at first sight with me," I answered, holding my chin. "He just annoyed the hell out of me for months, so that one is not counted." I added, supporting my claim. "Did you really try to remember everything?" Alessa asked me. Nodding my head at her. "If

CHAPTER 27

Traizle "Traizle, will you really buy me a toy?" Layzen kept on asking me. I decided to buy things we needed in our house and treat them at the mall. Before we went to the mall, I told him I would buy him toys. This is our first shopping trip after a few years. "Does it sound like a joke to you?" I asked Layzen. "If he does not believe you, then don't buy him one," Lyndon commented, gaining a frown from our youngest. "Then stop asking Traizle. She will buy you one." he added. "You can buy me after buying the things we need in our house." Layzen replied. "Why?" I asked. "Buying me a toy will cost money. I wanted to make sure that we had the important ones first. If we can't have it anymore, I can give up my toy." Layzen answered, explaining as if he was an adult already. Lyndon messed Layzen's hair up. "Why are you so matured? Act like a baby, okay? You are only four, but hearing you made us think that you were an adult already." he commented. "Do I sound like an adult

CHAPTER 28

Traizle Our new customer is living in a fine house. I pressed the doorbell, waiting for the caller to come out. "Delivery for Aiden Arias?" I asked when someone came out. "Ah yes! Come in first, I left my wallet inside." Arias, the customer, answered by opening the door for me. "I can wait here." I replied. "No, no. I heard there are many mosquitoes outside. Get inside first. I won't harm you in any way. I heard you are strong." He responded, entering his house again. I had no choice but to follow him inside. His house is fine inside and outside. He must be from a rich family. "I bought some food from the Snack Bar. Pay me!" I heard him shouting. I waited at the door. I should not enter his house anymore. "What? Snack Bar?" a familiar voice asked. "Where is she? I told her to get inside," I heard Arias reply. "Here you are, get inside." Arias added when he saw me at his door, pulling me to get inside. "No need, I don't—" I answered, unable to finish my sentence. "Have t

CHAPTER 29

Traizle "I am still sleepy." I muttered as I was sending Lyndon and Layzen off to their schools. "Who told you to stay late last night? None, right? So don't bother complaining." Lyndon replied, scolding me. “You know you have a work tomorrow morning, but you still stay late? That's not good, Traizle." Layzen added, also scolding his older sister. I can't sleep. I couldn't concentrate on my work last night after delivering the order to Arias, Zarsuelo's friend. Am I to blame? Of course not. It is his fault. For making me sleep late. An unexpected confession can really make you lose concentration throughout your work. Tell me who can still concentrate after that, I will congratulate them big time. After sending them off to their schools, I am now on my way to the Snack Bar. After what happened last night, I promised myself that I would make sure to look at their names. I'll see if the name is a threat to me or not. To make sure nothing like last night will happen again nex

CHAPTER 30

Traizle "Why is that?" I asked, confused at her answer. "He is outside. Waiting for you, maybe?" she said before answering the call. Is he outside? I still don't want to talk to him. His confession is the first reason I should avoid him. I stopped thinking when my phone vibrated. As I get my phone, I immediately see if it is important. "I think it's urgent—not so very important as it seems." I said, looking at the name of the person who messaged me. I intended not to read his message, but he showed himself at the door, waving and smiling at me, showing his big smile and white teeth. I was about to avoid his path and pretend I didn't notice him, but the owner's expression tells me to go out and talk to him. "I need to work, Boss. Talking to him would lose me a fortune in just an hour." I reasoned, telling the fact as well. "You told me to ask for money and think of it as your other sideline." the owner replied, getting back what I had told her a while ago. I sighed in de
