Five

I breathe relief when I arrive in my office. It's like I'm breathing polluted air while I'm in the condo. That girl is really very annoying. I can imagine what her friends' lives are like for having her. They must really have a very enduring patience.

"Lyra."

"Yes sir?" Nagmamadali siyang lumapit sa'kin. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi niya ako tinitingnan ng diretso.

"Call Detective Gerondio."

"Yes sir."

"Lyra." Tawag ko nang pabalik na siya sa desk niya.

"Sir?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Ha? No sir. No."

Good then. For the next minutes, I review and sign number of documents and papers until the detective arrives.

"I want information about a certain... Justine Serenity Manzano."

"Hmm." Bernard gives me his annoying smirk so I roll my eyes. "Stop reading my mind Palmer."

"Stop concluding." I reply abruptly.

"Okay. Okay." He raises his hands in the air. "I'm just curious. I have a feeling that this has nothing to do with any of your clients' cases. This sounds personal. It's strange. Five Palmer is interested in a girl."

"Don't  be a moron. Just do your work."

"Yeah. I sure will find out every information you needed and I will also get the information I needed. You know..."

"Get out of here. Moron."

I should have entrusted this to someone else—someone I don't know to be particular. Bernard is an old pal of mine and Four's. We knew him since we were in high school.

"Bye mate. Hey there, Lyra. Looking beautiful, as always."

I can tell how much she despises his presence but she's just holding back because of me. Lyra uncomfortably glances at me and then gives Bernard an awkward smile. That's funny. I like it when Lyra hates everybody you know.

Babalik na sana ako sa naiwan kong trabaho kaya lang ay tumunog ang phone ko. It's an unknown number. It's strange. Nobody unkown calls my personal number.

"Mo, are you in the office already?"

"What?"

"Don't you recognize my voice? Nobody has a golden voice like me. Hihi."

Ugh. Of course Five! She sneaks in your phone when she takes it from you. That silly immature girl.

"Don't call me again."

"Kapag bababaan mo 'ko, susunugin ko ang bahay mo."

"Watch your words. That's grave threat."

"Grave threat? Tsk. Alam mo namang hindi ako seryoso. At saka, underage ako."

"It doesn't except you from punishment for doing a crime."

"Okay. Okay. I give up, attorney. Imprison me in your heart. Lock me there forever. It's my pleasure."

She talks nonsense. So, I directly end the call and even turn off my phone. That way, she won't be able to bother me anymore. I wonder what's running in her head. She must be very bored with her life and that's why she causes trouble to make other's life miserable.

"Oh my gosh, girl. Feelingera ka kasi eh."

What is going on? Bumalik ako ng opisina dahil may naiwan ako sa table. Nadatnan ko sa hallway si Lyra na kausap ang tila isang department ng kompanya.
