Bianca's POV

"Yes, yes, I'll be there." I said while rolling my eyes.

"Should I tell you this again, Miss Travis? It's a very important medical mission." My Head repeated for the, I don't know, nth time?

I calmed myself and let out a sigh. "Yes. I understand. Goodbye." And dropped the call.

I was silently walking around the hospital, checking my patients, when I bumped on someone. I quickly bowed and apologized. When I looked up, I saw her, Eclaire.

"Oh, no need to be sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going as well." She smiled.

"What are you doing here?" I casually asked.

"Ah, nothing, I just want to invite you again to have lunch with me." She offered.

"Ummm," I really don't want to go 'cause, we're still not friends.

"Come on, I just want to be friends with you. I hardly had friends because I was home-schooled till I was in High School." She blinked twice, making a "paawa" look.

I finally said yes, just to be nice to her. I told her to wait for me at my clinic, I know she'll nit be bored simply because Hannah is there to entertain her.

"What do you want? My treat." She smiled.

I looked at the menu again and pointed a tuna spring roll for appetizer, a beef steak for main course, and a strawberry shortcake for dessert. She ordered hers and ask the waiter to serve it ASAP.

"You know, I really do want to be friends with you. You're nice and very fun to be with." She said while we wait for our orders.

"We barely know each other." I said trying not to sound disrespectful.

"Okay, then again, let me introduce myself. I'm Eclaire Elisse Tremor, the daughter of Crisman Tremor." She said smiling. "I'm home-schooled since pre-school up to high school. I like hanging out with nice people. I hate liars and anyone who hates my friend. Of course, I also hate any girl who get close to my man, in a romantic kinda way."

She looked at me and smiled, a smile which looks like a bit annoying, for me. "How about you?"

I laid my back and smiled. "I'm Bianca Cassandra Travis. I'm really from Philippines but I decided to finish my studies here and finally work here as well. I like friendly folks. I like singing and dancing, alone. I don't like scary movies, and of course, anyone who cheats on me."

She was about to say something when the waiter arrived. He's carrying our appetizers and put those on the table.

We were quitely eating when she took out her phone and answered a call.

"Excuse me." She said but she just pushed her seat back a little.

"Yes babe?" She said smiling.

"No, okay. Sorry."

"Let's just talk this out when we got home okay, Atticus?" Said her.

Seconds she talked on the phone again. "Yes, I won't to it again, baby. See you soon. I love you so much." Then she made a kiss sound and dropped the call.

"Sorry about that." She apologized but I slightly shook my head.

"So, it's your new boyfriend?" I said. I really wanted to know who she talked to. I can feel something about it.

"Oh, yes." With sparks on her eyes. "He's really charming, you should know."

"Really?"

"Yes! He was the guy I told you about, more than a week ago." She continued.

The man she told me who cheated on her?

We were finished eating when she took out her wallet to pay the bill. Her wallet has a dark red highlight, the same color the packages I had been receive have.

Then just now I realized that she was wearing a ring with the same exact color.

This is weird.

We went out of the restaurant and she insisted to drive me back to the hospital.

Brent's POV

"Yes babe?" I can now imagine a grin on her face while she's saying those words.

"Stop playing like you're her damn friend, Eclaire! You're so stubborn!" I almost shouted out of pressure.

She's 'making friends' with Bianca for what?! What does she wants?!

"No, okay. Sorry." She sweetly replied.

All I wish now is that Bianca's not with her.

"Leave her alone, Eclaire. Ano ba talagang gusto mo? We already broke up years ago. Can't you still move on?" I said while trying to calm down. I just realized that I shouted and cussed in a woman.

She may be a terrible person, but still, she's a woman.

"Let's just talk this out when we got home okay, Atticus?" I couldn't help but to clench my fist on my phone.

I think she's with Bianca. And guess what?! She already said my name!

She ended the call before I even said another word. I looked at my phone and saw her number. I quickly tried to dial it again but her phone is already turned off.

I checked what time it is already so I can call Bianca, but it's still working hours and I shouldn't bother her.

I silently laid my back on the swivel chair and sighed. I can't afford to lose her.

Eclaire's POV

Ruining your relationship is my first step to make you ckme back to me, Brent.

All I want is for us to be together again and work out. I loved you and I still love you.

But because of this woman beside me, it's hard to happen.

I know how much you love her and how much she loves you, but I'm going to destroy everything.

I'm willing to do anything just for you, babe.

"So, what's your work?" I was kicked out of my thoughts when I heard her voice.

"I'm helping my family run the business." I smiled, still looking on the road.

"Oh." She said. "Thanks by the way."

"It's fine." I said, plastically. "So are we friends?"

Asking her if we're friends already wanna make me vomit hard! Being friends with a snake?! Gosh! I thought being plastic will never be this hard!

"Think so." That's what she answered.

I dropped her at the hospital again and wished for her to step on something for her to trip. Sadly, she didn't.

I drove home immediately and took out a box and put pictures in it. I tied a ribbon around it and asked for a delivering company to deliver it for me.

Hope this change the way you look at your man!

Bianca's POV

I was busy cooking dinner when I heard the condominium's doorbell rang. I quickly run to the door and opened it.

I'm expecting something today.

I saw a delivery man holding a box-shaped package wrapped in bubble wrapperr and masking tape. I quickly signed the paper and took the package. I was about to open the box when Brent called.

"King!" I excitedly squealed.

"Already recieved it, my queen?" He asked in manly manner. I can imagine him lying his back on the swivel chair while looking up and smiling.

"Yes, king." I smiled.

"Already opened it?"

"Not yet, but about to." I answered while cutting the tape off.

"Okay, open it now." He said so I put the phone down and turned the loud speaker on.

After opening the gift, I saw a small box in it. I laughed and Brent asked me why.

"Seriously, nilagay mo pa talaga sa ang laking box, eh box lang naman toh ng necklace!" I laughed.

I also heard him laugh. "Fun, right?"

"Yes." I sighed dreamily and ended up smiling.

"Sige na, I have to go now. Bye, queen." Then he made a kiss sound. I also said goodbye and went back to the kitchen.

Magsusubo na sana ako noong biglang tumunog ulit ang doorbell. Is there something Brent delivered for me again?

Thinking about this I smiled.

Nakakatuwa naman siya!❤

I rushed to open the door and to my surprise, I saw no one, but a dark red box in front of the door.

Another dark red package.

I took it and closed the door using my foot. I locked it and went straight to the couch and opened the box.

Again, pictures.

But now, pictures of things. There's a picture of necklace, dresses, a car, a ring, couple pair of earrings, and even foods. There was a letter in it and I took it and read it.

'Look what your man gave me. He's so sweet, isn't he?' That what was written.

In shock, I dropped the letter and took a look at the pictures once again. I looked at it and closer.

This isn't true!

Binuhat ko ang box na nasa loob ay ang mga pictures at ang letter. I went outside the building and threw it on the huge garbage can.

I run back at my place holding fear and confusion.

This started happening to me when I and Brent got together again. Who could be sending this? Is this all true? What if it is?

Niloloko niya lang ba ako?

Takot na lang ang naramdaman ko, takot na niloloko niya lang ako at di niya talaga ako mahala. Takot na baka totoo ang lahat ng yun.

Sinasadya nang maipadala sa akin ang nga packages, it's not coincidence anymore.
