"Ow.........I thought you can't come because as you have said 'YOU HAVE MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS TO DO AND IT'S AN EMERGENCY'?" Asked her best friend Ellaine, quote and un quoting the last sentence with impasses.........who is so confused right now.
They were in their drinking moments when she just received a text message from her best friend of a boss saying that she's outside the bar and to fetch her.
After their talk that morning, her secretary really believed that she already convince her best friend of a boss to come with them tonight, but to her disappointment the heiress told her that 'she had more important matters to do and it's urgent'.
She even let their friends talk to the heiress just to persuade her to come with them.
But even their friends couldn't bend the decision her friend finalized.
Actually the heiress really want to come to the bar to meet up with her friends, in tow with her supposedly is their young Senior Architect......so she could introduce her to them.
But then she realize that this is the first time Althea would meet up with her circle of friends, if his planned to bring her, will be successful.
But knowing their young Senior Architect it will be very difficult, hence her schedule is already planned.
That's why she decline her friends, saying 'She had more important matters to do and it's an emergency'.
The truth is........she really has to talk to Althea about it and to ask her to come with them on Saturday.

Ellaine notice the very thwarted look on her best friend's face.
It worries her because knowing the youngest Tanchinco she would put up a good façade telling she's okay rather seeing her so defeated and un happy to others.
Ellaine wonder who could cause such pain in Jade's eyes?
"Jade are you okay? What happened?" Worried her best friend.
"Nothing.....just let it go Ellaine, lets party the night out! Where are they?" Lied the youngest Tanchinco and ignoring the question her best friend asked her.
"As you wish Jade.......they are there in the VIP table, I'm glad Max get us some reservation ahead of time." Ellaine let it slide for now; she knows Jade will come to her consensus to talk when she is ready.

Earlier that Evening
"Joanne where is Althea?" Questioned the young COO when she came out from the office of their young Senior Architect, seeing she was nowhere to be found.
"Jesus Christ Ms. Jade! You scared me to death!" Look of surprised and horror was flashed of the young Senior Architect's secretary's face.
"I'm sorry Joanne......where's Althea?" Asked again the youngest Tanchinco with a very disappointed look.
"It's okay Ms. Jade, I'm sorry also......I kind of shouted at you.....my apology again Ms." Contritely uttered Althea's secretary.
Jade just smiled and still waiting for her answer.
"Ms. Althea actually finished her paper works and meetings early today Ms. Jade, that's why she requested an early out from Mr.Tanchinco and he approved." Answered Joanne.
"Why she didn't inform me....I should know regarding about this.....I'm her boss also, you know, all of you know and definitely she knows that if my father is not here all the final decisions will come from me!" Angrily shouted the young heiress.
"Wi....ll Ms., Ms. Al....thea actually on her way to your office that time, to asked an early out but unfortunately your dad call earlier to asked an update of the project she handle in Spain. After their conversation, I think Mr. Tanchinco reminded Althea of something? I don't know what it was, because of that, instead of asking you she asked Mr. Tanchinco. I think Mr.Tanchico knows the reason why she always gets out early every Friday, actually it was included in her contract in TGC..........to meet her other commitments." A little bit scared and stuttering explained Joanne to the more confused heiress.
"Thanks Joanne, I'll just call my dad about this and asked my dad about the details of Althea's schedule and arrangement only the two of them knows." Quipped the heiress.
She immediately dialed her father's number as soon as she arrived at her office but unfortunately her father's phone is un attended and it fueled her anger a while ago.

Jade wants to be drunk tonight, really......really drunk.
This is actually her daily routine before she meets Althea, partying every night like no tomorrow and coming home early morning very...very drunk from bar to another bars, it's like bar hopping until the day light comes.
The place is so unique, compare to every bar she went before.
The interior is very chic, well design and well thought of.
The heiress was so overwhelmed of the bars concept it's amaze her, how such person could think a remarkable plan.
"Stop drooling on the interiors Jade.......I know it's a jaw dropping place but where here to party......to enjoy......to experience freedom!"
Reminded Michelle one of her friend who looks like Stephanie Michelle Seymour the super model, who is a model also, where her name taken by her parents, with an American Father and a Filipina mother.
"I know, it's just........I can't help but to worship the designer of this bar." Stated the young heiress to her friend.
"I feel you Jade............we all have same expression when we first step foot on this bar." Agreeing Alexandra, the daughter of one of the Multi-Billion business man in the country.
"By the way who owned this bar? I want to ask whose that person's designer, because I want to put up a Restro Bar may be she could help me design it." Asked the very curious heiress.
"Wait.....we have the most skilled Architect and a reputable designer in the world Jade.....why ask for other else?" Questioned Ellaine to her boss of a best friend.
"Well......I want to surprise her." Whisper the young COO shyly, that her friend barely hear her.
"What are you talking about Jade?" Asked Max inquisitively, this is the first time she see her friend acting so weird.
"No..th...ing I said nothing Max." Stammering, with so flushed face.
She's glad that the place is a little bit dim or else they would notice how red her face is right now.
It's really uncanny, on how her body react to a sheer mention of Althea's being and even her name............that's really creepy.
"Hey guys a little trivia for all of you beauties.......do you know that the owner of this bar is also the one designing this place?" Informed Michelle.
They been drinking nonstop now..........will they are known to be a 'hard core drunkard' in the elite society.
They even have their own name 'THE HARD CORE DRUNKARD HEIRESSES', because their faces are always in the tabloid with a drunk state in an exclusive bar for a high society people.
"Really!? Do you know who owned this amazing bar Michelle?" Retorted the young heiress.
"Nope, but I know who manage this bar and that person is a friend of the owner.....a very close friend but not in a romantic way.....you know what I mean guys..............as we speak.......you know, the owner is a lesbian." Answered the half American model.
Actually all of them are models, that's where they meet each other, except for Ellaine of course, since she's Jade's best friend from the time they were kids.
"Is she her Chelle? Can I talk to her?" Asked the youngest Tanchinco to her half American friend, hopeful that she could talk to the said Manager.
But before her friend could answer, their attention was being caught by the person talking in the mini stage, which built in the middle of the bar.
"May I have your attention lovely ladies and handsome gentlemen in the house!!!!!!" Boomed the man in the stage.
"I know you've been waiting for this day to come to hear this person sing!!!! Am I right ladies and gents?!!" Again shouted the host.
You could hear the people saying YES in unison........clapping.....stomping of feet and even jumping......and shouting A....A.....A, repeatedly.
"Without further ado my friends let's all welcome AAAAAAAA!" Screamed the host.
