(ZHIO)

"Good morning sir," Deo's greeted in his usual buoyance.

"Same here."

He was surprised that I replied.

"Looks like you woke up at the right side of the bed this morning," he smiled at me.

"Sort of…"

"I never knew that's what French Fries do to you. You never asked for delivery before," he walked behind in positive curiosity.

"Those were not mine."

He looked surprised but he waved it off as he handed me my schedule calendar.

"You'll have a flight today to Florida for the opening of Zel Cantheliz Hospital there."

"As in right now?" I raised my brow at him.  

"Yes. You agreed with that rescheduling last week after it was postponed."

Well I forgot.  

If everything that has happened didn't happen, I'd be too willing to stay overseas forever. If Claire didn't come I'd…

"For how many days?" I rubbed my chin.

"Two."

"Just prepare everything," I grabbed my phone.

"Everything's ready," he replied swiftly before I could even dial Sya.

"Good. I'll be downstairs in a moment."

I hit the contact number of the mansion.  

I want to talk to Claire.

Sya answered the call and just like how I wanted, handed the phone to Claire. I'd be gone for two days…It'll be a lot of time for her to think it over.

"How are you?" I asked when I heard her faint 'hello'.

She didn't respond.

"Still angry?" I teased.

"I really wanted to talk to you," she spoke.

"To argue with me again," I assumed.

"No. About my room."

"Our room. Wasn't it a good idea?" I smiled.

"Tsk," she snorted.

"Let's see who'll give up first!"

"I like the challenge," I made my voice sweeter.

"You've got two days to prepare. I'd be leaving the country for a couple of days so make sure you behave."

She exhaled.

"I'd be moving your things around. My things won't fit."

"Sure."  

I guess she heard me laugh a little.  

"I hope you die."

"I love you," I replied.

"Die!"

I felt her give back the phone to Sya.

"Sya, please make sure this woman is well-fed within those two days. Don't let her out. And cut all communications she could have to the outside."

"Understood."

"And if something happens," my voice trailed off.

"Let me know first."

"Very well," I imagined Sya nodding.

"…stay safe Master Zhio."

I hung up the call and slowly followed Deo outside.
