Hey, Leigh.
Everleigh
Uy, Fin. Napa-chat ka?
Everleigh is typing...
Look, if this is about my friends making a racket at your photo's comment section, I'm sorry. Lokaret lang talaga ang mga 'yon. Delete mo na lang ang comments nila. 🙈
Finley James
Haha, nope. This isn't about that. Sanay na rin naman ako kay Kenz. Lagi naman 'yong nagsisimula ng kakalatan sa posts ko.
Finley James is typing...
I just want to apologize again for last night, Leigh. Hiyang-hiya ako sa'yo dahil sa nangyari.
Everleigh
I told you, it's okay. Not your fault naman.
Finley James
In a way, it is. Olivia's my ex, after all.
Everleigh
Granted. But you didn't order her to slap me, did you? So it's not your fault.
Finley James
Makes sense. Still, I'm really sorry.
Everleigh
Jusko naman, Mr. Javier. Stop apologizing.
Everleigh is typing...
Oops, I meant Dr. Javier. I forgot na vet ka nga pala. Kaya siguro mga animal ang babaeng naa-attract sa'yo. Proof: that Olivia. 🤪
Finley James
Haha! You're a cool person, Leigh. Siguro kung ibang babae ang nakaranas sa nangyari kagabi, galit na galit pa rin hanggang ngayon. But here you are, just laughing it off.
Everleigh
Oh, Fin, believe me. I ~am~ mad at that woman. But I still don't want to stress myself much over what happened kasi hello, ayaw ko namang magka-wrinkles dahil sa bruha mong ex. Not worth it.
Finley James
What a sensible woman. 😁
Finley James is typing...
Setting aside Olivia's unfortunate appearance, I had a really good time with you last night.
Everleigh
Me too. Thanks for taking me to dinner, kahit hindi ko na naubos ang pagkain ko. Epal kasi ang ex mo. 🙄
Finley James
Don't worry, susubukan ko namang bumawi. Dumating na ba riyan ang in-order kong breakfast para sa'yo?
Everleigh
Hoy, ano ba! Nag-abala ka pa. 🙈
Pero shocks, seryoso ba 'yan? Salamat, Fin!
Finley James
You're welcome, Leigh. That was easy, by the way. Akala ko, tatanggihan mo ang paalmusal ko. 😁
Everleigh
Aarte pa ba ako? Tinatamad din akong magluto, e. At least I don't have to fix myself breakfast now.
Everleigh is typing...
Kaya pala hiningi mo kay Kenz ang address ko. Dami mong pakulo, ah?
Finley James
Hindi naman. Gusto ko lang talagang makabawi sa'yo. How's your cheek, by the way? I hope it's better now.
Everleigh
Medyo mapula pa rin. Pero keri lang, maganda pa rin naman ako. Chos!
Finley James
Maganda ka naman talaga, Leigh. 😉
Everleigh
Sus. Kung CPA ka lang, isasama kita sa group chat namin. It's called Charoterang Public Accountants. Kenz is in it, too. 😂
Finley James
Too bad. I'm not really into numbers. Kaya nga nag-veterinary medicine ako. 😅
Everleigh
I wasn't surprised to learn about your profession, tbh. Si Kenz din kasi, animal lover. It must be a thing in the Javier family.
Finley James
Yep, it is. How about you? Do you have a pet?
Everleigh
Unfortunately, no. Allergic kasi ang bunsong kapatid ko, so we never really had pets at home, growing up. But I love dogs!
Finley James
You can get one now, since you already have your own place. 😁
Everleigh
I do intend to get a dog, only I'm too busy nowadays to actually take care of it. Kawawa lang kapag napabayaan ko.
Everleigh is typing...
Uy, mukhang nandito na ang padala mong food. Kunin ko lang, ha?
Finley James
Sure. Sana magustuhan mo ang inorder ko. Medyo kinakabahan ako, haha!
Everleigh
Don't stress about it, Fin. Choosy pa ba ako, e libre na nga 'to? At hindi rin naman ako picky eater.
Finley James
Whew. Good to know that. Enjoy your breakfast, Leigh. 😁
