Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Fifty One

"You know him?" Teddy B. asked me.

I nodded my head, "He's my..." great, what should I say?

"Friend." Agent Lorenzo smiled at me.

"Oh, really?" Teddy B. smiled, "He's Madison's older brother, don't you know?"

My jaw fucking dropped as my eyes widened for real this time.

What the f—

"W-What?!"

For real?! He's Madison's older brother?

"Who is he, love?" Hester immediately asked me. Bumalik kaagad ang braso niya sa bewang ko.

"Ah..." I gulped, "My friend, love. 'That' friend." I emphasized the word 'that' because he already know that I'm working with an FBI agent.

He didn't answer me and just nodded his head.

"Teddy! Who's with you?" Kuya Mark immediately hugged him.

"She's my trainee, Madison. And, this is her older brother, Lorenzo."

"Oh." Kuya Mark nodded his head, "Hello, I'm Mark. Nice to meet you." he offered his hand while smiling.

Oh, God. For real?! He's Madison's older brother?!

Goodness gracious. They are kidding me! Why are they related to each other?!

"Come, seat." Kuya Mark invited them.

I almost rolled my eyes when Madison seat beside Hester. Thank God, Agent Lorenzo seat beside her that's why siya na ang katabi ni Hester ngayon.

This seating arrangement is not so great.

"How did you know him, Francine?" Teddy B. suddenly asked me. He's seating on my left side.

"Well," tumingin agad ako kay Agent Lorenzo. Send help, damn.

"Because of Harold." Agent Lorenzo answered, "Harold is my friend, and Francine is his cousin."

Oh, yes. That one. It's kind of true. Thank God, naisip niya 'yon. The reason of our connection is really confidential. And, Agent Lorenzo cannot speak about it. It's his work.

"Oh, is that so?" Teddy B. smiled, "Let me introduce my talent, then. Zion." he looked at Hester.

Hester quickly smiled. I hope it's not fake, damn.

"Hey, I'm Zion. Nice to meet you." Hester offered his hand.

Agent Lorenzo smiled, "Lorenzo." he accepted his hand.

Teddy B. also introduced Vhia to them. After that, dumating na ang mga pagkain that's why kumain na agad kami. Teddy B. and his acquaintances ordered food just now that's why kami lang nila Kuya Mark ang kumakain.

"You didn't tell me na you know Francine, Kuya." Madison suddenly speak to his brother.

God, why is she here? I really don't like her, argh.

"Hindi ko naman alam na kilala mo pala siya." Agent Lorenzo answered her. They are talking like I'm not here, huh? Wow.

"Well." Madison smirked.

I really wanted to roll my eyes. Goodness gracious.

"Teddy B." I called him, "Can we talk?" I asked.

"Sure." humarap siya sa akin. "What are we talking about?" he asked me.

"Umm." I gulped, "How's your baby sister? Kisses?" I started. Let's start slow, ayokong magulat siya.
