Chapter 14

I dialed Emerald's number, she answered it on the first ring. She's using her phone, i think?

"Milda!!" She yelled my name. I suddenly want to roll my eyes. She's really the energetic.

"No 'hi?' or 'hello?',"She just laughed. "And please, no need to shout my name cousin." I plead.

"Haha. Just teasing you. So, why did you call? Need my help?" I heard some noisy, I think utensils? Is she eating?

"What's that noise?" I asked, curiously.

"Oh, I'm eating my breakfast. How 'bout you? Did you eat already?" She's the one asking now. Where this conversation going? I want to tell her my reason, she's just so talkative.

"Yes. Uhm, can I ask you something?" I started.

"You're already asking. Duh." Then she laughed.

I scratched my forehead. This is the reason why I don't want to talk to her. She's just so playful! And very energetic.

"Are you free today?" I said direct to the point.

I heard her hum. "Yeah. Why?"

"I want to introduce you to someone… Is it okay to you?" Hesitantly, I asked.

Silence.
