Party

"Shot!"

Instead of going straight to the coffee shop, we ended up inside a bar. It's called Catastrophe. This is a place where the rich people usually go. Most of the customers here are elites and those who have a say in the society. Let's say a name. A high profiled name.

"Why don't you drink?" Fabio gave me the glass with just a drink but I shook my head. "You don't drink?" he slightly raised his brow at me. He was sitting on my left while Miya was on my right. We are facing the Coleridge brothers, the owner of Devil's Glass, the liquor that I am currently modeling with Xander, Brandon, and Fabio.

Xander and Brandon aren't here. They said they had something to do now so they didn't come with us.

"I drink, but just not now. I don't feel like doing it right now." I said with a smile. Fabio is actually a gentleman. Well, he's a little bit flirty but tolerable. I think that it's just really his nature. It's his thing.

Fabio's a bit tanned and muscular. His muscles are almost bursting with excessive size. And I also think that he's a mixed. I would doubt if he'll say he's pure Filipino because he doesn't look like one.

"Oh... So, what do you prefer? Juice? Or me?" he let out a smirk and I just chuckled.

"Are you guys enjoying?" We looked at the person who spoke. It was Gresso Coleridge. I think, between him and his brother, Gresso is the most playful. His aura is bright whenever he smiles, but something's a bit odd with him though. And the oldest, Hades Coleridge. He's a silent type. He spoke only once and he usually nods. They're both equally handsome. But, Hades really hits different. Maybe because he's quite mysterious.

"We're more than enjoying, Sir." Fabio raised his glass. Gresso just smirked in return before turning to me. I smiled a bit. His eyes narrowed as he stared at me and then he laughed.

I slightly elbowed Miya.

"You know what, earlier in the shoot, I was staring at you because you really look familiar to me. Isn't she, Kuya?" Gresso asked his brother. Hades just nodded before staring at me. I shifted uncomfortably on my seat.

It's weird. Even me too, I am familiar with the both of them. I just don't really know where I saw them. I don't know. I'm not really sure. Or maybe it's just my feeling.

"Now I know why you're very familiar..." he added before laughing again like he already knew me. I winced.

I frowned but I didn't entertain much of what he said.

"That's impossible, Sir. Beautrin's beauty is one of a kind." Miya said making me feel even more awkward.

Yes. It's really impossible. Maybe I wasn't the one they saw. I almost forgot that I have a twin.

"Anyway, a friend of ours is coming here. He's one of our investor too so..." Gresso drawled while his eyes were still on me. I felt Miya lightly pinch my side as if she saw the man's gaze at me.

"Gresso seems smitten by your beauty..." Fabio laughed softly at my side. Well, that added more of the awkwardness. But I don't think he really is. I feel like he is just curious about me.

I drank my pineapple juice.

I was surprised to see that some of the women who were dancing awhile ago approached our table. They all flop towards the Coleridge brothers. Three for Gresso and one for Hades.

I moved towards Miya's side when the two girls sat on Fabio's lap. He even had the audacity to wink at me before kissing his girls alternately. Well... That's your playboy Fabio right there.

"I hope we didn't go with them anymore." I said before sighing. I thought that we'll be having a real coffee today. But I was not informed that they will be drinking a coffee that would make us all drunk. Well, if only I had the appetite to drink.

"That's okay. I might be able to fish a wealthy CEO here," Miya chuckled and I glared at her. She's not allowed to. She can't be ahead of me. I must fish a CEO first or...maybe we can do it together instead. Pft.

"I'll just go to the restroom..." I informed Miya. She even insisted to come with me but I didn't allow it. I can go there alone, and besides, it's only on the second floor.

I didn't say goodbye to the boys because they were all busy anyways.

When I was inside the restroom, I immediately did my thing. I don't really plan on staying inside because I smell something really strange.

After I retouched and washed my hands, I went out and immediately went down to my table. I was planning on staying on the second floor, but my eyes seemed to be spinning around even though I was only drinking my pineapple juice. Well, the blinding lights made me dizzy, probably.

When I saw the table, I immediately approached Miya, completely ignoring the person who was sitting beside Gresso.

"Miya, let's go home." I told her. I frowned when I saw her eyes widen as she stared at my back and then at me. As if she was trying to warn me or something. She doesn't really have to. I already saw him. I just refused to acknowledge him because that's what we really should do.

"Miya." I scolded. I started to feel irritated because of my headache, it felt like something was digging inside my stomach, you might want to add that I am also feeling so hungry and feel like eating a steak at Jollibee today.

"T-Trin..." Miya stuttered.

"Oh, Miss Beautrin, you're here. By the way, this is my friend, Claus Monteserio. He's one of the investors of the company."

I was stoned in my place when I heard his name. Yeah. I thought I was just hallucinating!

W-what?! I was hungry so that's why!

I don't know what got into my brain and without saying a word, I just grab my bag from Miya's side before running out of the place.

Shit!

I heard their voices calling me but I didn't listen to it and continued running outside.

I only breath a sigh of relief when I finally got out, but that was short-lived when someone pulled my arms, making me face the person whom, I am supposed to be ignoring right now.

"Yes? Sir?" There. Thank God Beautrin and you didn't stutter. But deep inside I feel like I want the earth's crust to swallow me right now.

He frowned while looking at me.

"You're the model?" he spat out angrily. His face mixed with disgust did not escape me. My stomach churned painfully at the sight. Of course, what do you expect Beautrin?

"Yes." my short answer.

He violently let go of my hand he was holding before staring at me intently. Anger, disgust, and annoyance were the only things I can see in his eyes.

"You won't stop, don't you? You won't stop until you get what you want? What else do you want, huh? Did you accept the contract because you know you'll see me?! Is that it, huh?! What? You're going to pay attention to me?! Do you really think that you can fool me?! Well, think again! You'll never get what you want! Please! Just please! Stop being desperate! You just look like a dog who follows me everywhere! I don't like you anymore! Well, guess what? I don't even know if I really loved you when we were together! Because I don't think so! You're nothing but a substitute when Beatriz isn' t around! You are just a second choice!"
