"Rum, I have something to tell you. Please open the door."
I was snapped back to reality as my brother knocked on the door of my room. "Coming!" I said and went out of my bed.
I opened the door and I let him in.
"Something's off with Uno these past few days, did you notice that, too?" he immediately said.
"So one time at the school, I went to him and secretly installed a tracker on his phone by the time I called you but brought up some topic you can't understand." Oh, I remembered that time when I thought he's going crazy.
"As soon as he left to be at the clinic, as one student puked, I installed it successfully. It's not showing the app but it opened the GPS of the phone secretly. And I think you can use that now." he trailed and so, I got excited.
I'm expecting to see his mother now since he said his mother called him.
My brother installed the app and set my phone up so I could see where Uno was going. I was surprised as his location brought me to the most elite restaurant of the town.
My brother said I need to wear something elegant yet simple since they were in the VIP section.
I called Azhlley since she knows the dress code. "Hello, Zie!" she giggled and waved her hand on the screen.
"Why didn't you greet me, huh?" my brother queried.
"Y-yulo?! I thought she's going to ask me about the dress code? Why didn't she just ask you?" I laughed at that realization. Right. My brother is the University's Pageant King.
"She doesn't trust me, what can I do with that?" he said, mimicking Azhlley's voice.
I showed off all of my dresses in the closet. I don't have that much clothes but we still had a hard time choosing what to wear.
"I bet they already left." I kidded.
"I have a combination now." Azhlley presume.
"I have mine, too." my brother boasted. Azhlley just rolled her eyes and I saw my brother smirked.
They showed off their sketches and with that, I slapped my forehead. They wasted the time making sketches, they should've just said it directly! Ugh, this couple is making me insane. They just reasoned to "help me" so that they can have their quality time. Maybe they're too shy to admit that they wanted to see each other. I giggled with that realization.
"Oh, we chose the same pair." Azhlley addressed.
They ordered me a Lamborghini online so that I can have a grand entrance but there's a problem. I'll have someone with me, but I guess it will be fine as long as they won't drop us in the same place.
The company notified us as they drove off our gate. I was wearing a pure white long puff sleeve top and was covered by a black Hepburn style dress which ended below my knees. It was partnered with a white stilettos. Azhlley advised me to tie my hair with a large black and white dotted bow. I am also wearing big sunglasses even if it's already 9:00pm.
"We'll just pick the other passenger, ma'am. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." the chauffeur coaxed and bowed his head like a true butler.
I didn't bother to look outside because I'm still busy locating Uno. I heaved a deep sigh as soon as I assured myself that they're still at the restaurant.
"Macky… "
I haven't heard of that voice for about 9 months. Since that encounter between me and Gracey, I found my right place. Though I still care for Markian, I knew that I shouldn't show much care for him since he already has a girlfriend.
"Y-you noticed me even in this disguise?!" I shouted and he burst into laughter.
"I knew you since we were kids so how would you hide from me?"
I turned around to see what he looks like after nine months but I just saw an old man with his all black suit and his gold cane. He has a white mustache and he's also wearing a black hat.
"'never thought it's me, right?" he said and smirked.
He pressed something on his suit and he talked again, "Do you still know me?" he asked with an old voice.
My mouth went agape. "You should get some lessons from the master of disguise, Macky," he boasted.
"Where are you going, by the way?" I queried.
"Well, I trapped someone to a hole she can't get up to." he said and held his fake mustache.
"From being master of disguise to detective? Real quick." I stated and showed a fake smile to mock him.
"Well, what would you expect from a brilliant man like me?"
His boasting session has expired as the chauffeur dropped us at the same place. We talked outside for awhile since we found out our little plans. We ended up pretending to be father and daughter.
I didn't know that before you could enter the VIP section, you should show your membership card. Luckily, my brother told him about my plan before we picked him up and voila!
When we're about to enter the secret door, Markian bumped into a lady. "Look before you step, old man!"
That was Aunt Gian…
"S-sorry, young lady." Markian said after he pressed something on his suit. He mocked her mother, emphasizing the word 'young'.
"Thank you." she said and flipped her hair.
"I'm gonna call my mom, Macky. Hand me my phone." he said and I got it out of my bag like how a daughter does to her father.
"Hello, mom?"
[Aunt Gian: Hello, honey. Why did you call?]
"Where are you? Something was delivered here and they want your signature." he lied.
[Aunt Gian: Well, I had a meeting at your Aunt Matide's restaurant. I'm planning to have a franchise of her business.]
"Wow. That's a great idea. Good luck, mom and take care!" he ended the call and handed me his phone again.
"Good evening, ma'am, sir. Enjoy your food." the staff greeted us.
As soon as we found our table, we saw Uno together with a blonde woman. The woman isn't facing us so we can't see her but Uno is.
"I'm right." Markian whispered.
