" MA'AM, your meeting will start in ten minutes " maligalig na imporma kay Rassy ng sekretarya niyang si Irene na kausap niya sa intercom 
Rassy has a good night rest yesterday kaya naman ay nasa tamang condesyon siya ngayong araw
" Okay, Thank You " Ibinababa niya ang binabasang papeles galing sa HR department at kinuha ang blazer na nakasabit sa kanyang upoan. She fix herself at maya maya pa ay lumabas na din siya. Ngayon ang meeting niya with Architect Sayson regarding sa project na sisimulan nila this october. It was a large condominium located in the heart of St. Eve street. A perfect place to see the best view of Argan bay. Kinuha niya ang papeles na ipinahanda niya kanina kay Irene at isinilid iyun sa isang brief case. it was a preliminary research survey to validate the project well being at gusto niya iyung ipakita sa kaibigan upang malamang kung meron pa ba itong masasabi at maidagdag 
Pagkalabas niya nang opisina ay nakatayo na doon si Irene. Matagal na rin ito sa kanya kaya't alam na nitong gusto niyang hindi siya hinihintay sa meeting kahit isang segundo lang.
" Ma'am Rassy,  Nasa conference room na po si Architect Michelle  "
Tumango lamang siya at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. Nang makapasok sa loob ay una niyang napansin ang babaeng prenteng naka upo sa upoan. The woman is wearing a purple filipiniana top paired with a silky white trouser. 
" Good Morning Architect" She announce and sat down at the swivel chair " I hope i didn't ruin your schedule? " 
Tumawa lamang ito sa kanya " Ano ka ba Rassy,  Hindi kana bago sa akin, ano ba at naging klamsyt kita noon and beside i am looking forward for the project you emailed to me a month ago, I like the concept and the design "
Rassy let out a hearty laugh. Hindi niya inakalang tatanggapin nito ang alok niyang project 
" I was worried na baka hindi gaanong ka innovative ang concept. Infact i did a little survey about the place naman before calling it a call "
Irene provide her the result and analysis of the research as well as the floor design of the project
" Hmm. the place is really suited for a five star condominium and i think we should add a little green in the left swing to make it more refreshing and good for a long walk "
" That' s a great idea "
Irene take note everything from what the woman suggest earlier. Sa buong panahon ng meeting ay seryoso ang dalawang nagpapalitan ng kanilang suggestion. both were eye catching in their own way. Palihim na napahanga doon si Irene. 
" the concept i had in mind is we could expand the building into a hexagon structural building pero uunahin muna natin kung paano i desinyo ang bawat kwarto after that, there is the penthouse and will going to have a range of 65 to 75 floor. What do you think about it? " 
" Yeah. I think that will do. And if you dont mind. gusto ko ring makatulong sa pag dedesinyo ng bawat silid.  Kung okay lang sayo "
" Of course that will be good, Michelle. Mas gusto ko yung hands-on sa proyektong ito " 
Tumayo siya at nilahad ang kanyang kamay. Agad naman iyung tinanggap ni Michelle at nakipagkamayan rito. Hindi rin tumagal ang pag uusap nila 
" I'll go first Rassy and i will send you my final update for the design. maybe a weeks earlier from now " 
Tumango siya rito " Okay and Thank you. That was a nice disclosure " 
Michelle smile and bid her goodbye. Naiwan siya at ang kanyang sekretarya sa loob.  Irene pick up the papers at isinilid muli iyun sa brief case. She glance at her boss and decide to leave

It was 8 pm in the evening when Rassy decided to go home.
Nasa kalagitnaan na siya ng daan when Tim called her
" Asan ka ngayon? "
" Papauwi ng Villa, bakit? "
" Did you forgot?  Cole invited us to his Party "
" I won't be coming "
" huh. why? "

Rassy sigh " I'll try "
" You should come " 
"Fine "
agad na siyang pinatayan ng tawag ni Tim. Rassy accelerated her speed.
It took no time nang makarating siya sa kanyang villa. She hurriedly enter her room and change. She choose the green silk long sleeve paired with the versace skirt that has a dark green color. It was an exclusive party arrange by Cole Fernandez for his comeback since he debutted as an artist in the US a year ago and it was a game changer for him and for his career. Marami na itong nakuhang mga parangal at laging nasa billboard ang mga bagong release nitong mga kanta. 
She look at her reflection in the mirror. nakabukas ang dalawang butones ng long sleeve niya showing some skin in the front. Her skirt were above the knee that makes her long legs in view. Binuhayhay niya ang nakataling buhok at nag apply ng kunting lipstick sa labi. She was satisfied at her look. She grab her favorite stiletto and the YSL hobo bag at the compartment. She steal one more glance at her reflection and turn off the light bago bumaba
Naka antabay na roon si Beka at ang sasakyang gagamitin nito na siyang maghahatid sa kanya sa venue. Beka is one of her trusted confidant aside from her friends. Alam kasi nito ang gusto at ayaw niya
" Beks. Tara na " 
She open the backseat at comfortabling naka upo
Sa buong byahe ay tahimik lamang si Rassy na ini scroll ang kanyang instagram. Marami siyang dm na natatanggap sa mga kaibigan at kapamilya niya at isa na doon ang chat ni Cole at Tim. It was sent 3 hours ago.
" Rassy. don't forget about the party. we will go there. see ya "
" Miss you babe "  It was Cole meaningful message that arc her lips. She just like it back and close her phone. Her gaze landed outside the window. the different color of street light caught her attention. Hindi niya alam kung ilang minuto din siyang nakatanaw sa labas at napagpasyahang ipikit muna ang mga mata
"Miss Sedigo, We have arrive "  Beka announce. She then proceded to step out outside of the car to walk around and open's Rassy's door
Rassy open her eyes and calmly observe the giant Yacht nearby through her window. it was atleast four stories high with a modern design structure. surely the guy knew how to spend his money luxuriously. Rassy was not taken aback on how extravagance it looks outisde. Lumabas na rin siya ng sasakyan 
" Have fun Miss " anang ni Beka sa kanya
" Thanks Beks "
Agad na ring pinaharurut ni Beka ang sasakyan papalayo sa piyèr. Two sturday body guard guide Rassy to a smaller boat na siyang maghahatid sa kanya sa malaking Yate. Upon arriving at the lower deck. Sinalubong siya ng mga staff at inilalayan siyang makababa. The staff had this stun look upon seeing the newly arrival guest. 
Rassy was welcomed grandly at everyone were csreful to her. There is no need for her to show her invitation as she was well known personally by them.
As soon as she stepped into the upper deck. the crowd become quite and all of their eyes were on her. Rassy proudly smile and shrug at their gaze. Lumapit siya sa mga kaibigan
" Hey " 
" You look hot Cous " 
" We almost didn't recognize you talaga when you stand there " 
Rassy rolled her eyes at her friends reaction. Inilibot niya ang kanyang tingin sa paligid. marami na palang tao sa loob lalo na sa main hall. She recognize everyone in the crowd seemingly consist of celebrity. influencer. richi kiddo from a wealthy family. business tycoon and some artist 
" Who is she? "  She ask their friends  when she saw someone unfamiliar in the crowd
" Oh. That's Lisè Montanna. the famous influencer and singer "
Diane give her a vodka na agad niya namang tinangap.
" Rumor said that she's dating a multi billionaire guy at kalat na iyun sa social media but her agency never publish anything about the rumor. so i guess it' s just a fling " 
"Bitch and their charm " Tim whisper at her ears and laugh.
" cheers guys " Nicole lift her glass. Mukhang tipsy na ito
" cheers "
"cheers "
"cheers "
" Let's dance " 
Nicole drag Yuri to the main hall at naiwan sila ni Diane at Tim but soon Tim excuse herself. Mukhang may nakitang gwapo sa nagkukumpulang tao sa baba
" So what's the score between you and Elias? " 
Diane ask her without even looking at her. 
" Do you know him? " 
 "Sort of "
she sip her drinks 
" one night partner " 
this time Diane look at her blankly
" but he thinks i intentionally climb his bed. That man he is too cunning " she added
Diane shrugged and a mellow laugh could be heard. 
Hindi rin tumagal ay bigla nalang umingay ang paligid. looks like Cole has arrived. 
" Let's go "
Diane grab her wrist and they both walk down in the main hall
" Thank You guys for coming here, I didn't expect a warm welcome from you. It was such an honor and pleasure to have you here with my success. " Naluluhang sabi ni Cole sa gitna. He ends his speak through opening a $ 500,000 Cabernet Sauvignon. Everyone yell and a loud music from  the big speaker almost makes the crowd go wilder. 
Everyone begun to dance at the center. Hindi naman nagpahuli si Diane at nakisayaw din.
Rassy made her way out to the crowd and sat at the nearby stool. 
Cole had long notice her in the crowd at nakangiting tinungo ang direksyon niya.
" Hey Rassy Babe ~ " Hestirikal niyang tawag rito. Cole hug her and give her a big kiss in the lips. it was a casual greetings na palagi niyang ginagawa sa mga kaibigan. It's been a long time since he saw her and She already become a dashing beauty 
Rassy hug him tightly 
"I am glad you came baack " she said emotionally
Unbeknownst to her, in the spacious  private room. A man standing at the huge glass mirror watching everyone outside were looking intently at the direction of two people who are currently talking. His face was void of any emotion as he sip his wine. Mahigpit ang hawak nito sa baso. Elias was undeniably more dangerous than before at ramdam iyun ng kasama niya sa loob. The man gulp down the remaining alcohol in the glass. He was beyond annoyed upon witnessing the scene a while ago.
