Learn to read the air before you're sorry MIKE's P o V ~~~     I woke up in the middle of the day, drenched with my own sweat. For crying out loud, I am soaking wet! However, this was not because I had a bad dream or what so ever. There was only one simple reason why my sleep would end up being disrupted. Someone turned the AC off and that was why I am in this pitiful state. Sighs. How I wished for a day to come again when I could enjoy my rest for as much as I wanted. I wanted my long and uninterrupted sleep back. As a matter of fact, if only I could turn back time, I would have probably done it already because I badly wanted to return to our old lives where we never experienced the need to cut short a few of our supplies just to make ends meet and most of all, no one was minding the electricity bill to the extent where one would have to suffer sleeping where humidity was a

When silence kills you slowlySHANTAL's P o V~~~   It was clear for all eyes to see that Mr. Almiro was still hesitant to accept our hand. As a matter of fact, he did not even bother hiding his reluctance. It was out of plain sight. So with the utmost persuasion power left in my person, I tried to reach out to him, not willing to accept an answer other than a 'yes'. "I know what you did to stay alive." I started and as soon as I spoke, I noticed that both Mr. Almiro and Ms. Smith was taken aback. They stopped at what they were doing to raise their head and look at me. On the other hand, I am sporting a serious expression. At the same time, my I make sure that my eyes never left Mr. Almiro; not even for a single second. "You can't  trust anyone. You can't be sure if you are with

SHANTAL's P o V~~~ I was planning to take one of the spot at the backseat but Ms. Smith and Mr. Almiro already secured it as their own. It was as if they already discussed about it before hand, which left me unable to make a choice but to seat beside my cousin since Jodi was the one who would be driving for us. Not that I am complaining though, because I feel that this was like a perfect manipulation of faith. Never in my wildest dream did I ever thought that I day would come where I would be thankful to have Jodi as our driver, but here I am today. Doing the exact opposite. I used to hate my cousin's driving skill, to be honest. But she was the exact kind of driver that we actually need at the moment because as far as I know, Jodi was the fastest driver that I knew of. She was our best shot, albeit  it also comes with a little downside. Jodi loves to cut lanes which often led her getting tickets for over speeding a

ADELAINE's P o V~~~  There was no way that I would allow all my efforts to go to waste so when Mr. Almiro showed me no sign of accepting the documents which I prepared prior to our meeting, I pretended like I did not notice his reluctance at all.For the most part of my life, I used to take a pride in the fact that I am quick to notice things for the reason that this helped me a great deal before in making prompt decisions and adjustments whenever I am in the middle of dealing with something. However, at this time, I found myself wishing that I am not as attentive to details as I often was.The old man made it clear for both mine and Ms. Nordstorme's eyes to see that he was still not satisfied with what we could offer him and I took it as read that we were not yet even near at convincing him with our terms. My observation skill was keen enough for me to be able to tell all of t

ADELAINE's P o V~~~   I was silent as I waited for my boss's reaction. Meanwhile, the other party threw a look at the pen lying within her palm. She literally stared at it blankly and it took her quite a few seconds to process what was going on, before a smile finally broke out from her lips. "Thank you so much." I heard Ms. Nordstorme mumbled the moment she realized what the old man just handed to her. Then without wasting another second, she stood up and sprinted outside. Just a few moments ago, she was actually sitting with us on the same table, but the next instant, I am already watching her departing figure as she made her way towards the door with hurried steps. But there were no words has to be said anymore because I already knew what she wanted me to do. She trust me enough for her to leave the r
