Taming You (JhoLet Adaptation)

Chapter 7

"These two, really. I'm fine girls, I just need some time. I'm in good hands,  I assure you." I said to make them less worried about me.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Go on, Mikhs."

"Call me before anyone else, okay?"

"That's unfair, what about me?" Ate Aiah said and I can imagine her pouting her lips.

"I will text both of you and you call me. It depends on who calls first, how's that sound Ate Aiah?" I offered.

"Mmm better," she said enthusiastically.

"Have you eaten yet, Jho?"

"Uh, I actually just woke up. But I'll eat later."

"You should, I trust you, Jho, so I'll end this now. Be safe," she said and they bid their goodbye.

I sighed and let my phone slide from my hand down to the soft bed. I know they're still worried so I'll be good. Every 13th day of September, I get wasted because it's the same day when my parents ended their marriage and when my mother got married again. But last night was different because Colet happened.

"Coleeeeet?!" I looked at the door when I heard a female voice call out for that annoying creature.

I furrowed my brows, the last time I checked it was just the two of us here last night. I went to the mirror and checked myself, my eyes are still swollen but they looked better than last night, I combed my hair with my fingers and slowly opened the door. I stepped out from the guest room and walked towards the living room but I saw no one. What the hell? Don't tell me that was a ghost. Oh, shut it, Jhoanna!

"Colet--- who are you?!" I jolted from my spot when a sharp voice asked me.

I turned to look at the lady who was standing from where I think the kitchen door is. Black hair, a white complexion, smaller than me and she's looking--no, she's more like glaring at me.

"Uhm, Hi?" I said awkwardly.

"Who are you?" she snapped at me. I raised my brows and looked at her from head to toe. She doesn't look like Colet, so this is not her sister.

"I'm Jhoanna. And you are?"

"None of your business." she snapped again which annoyed me. I was about to fight her back when the door of Colet's room suddenly opened. She has her brows furrowed, and I think she's still half asleep.

"Nicolette, who is this girl?" The lady asked her, Colet turned her head towards where she was that made, the lady, gasp. Her cheek is pretty beat up.

"What happened to your face?!" asked the lady and marched towards Colet, whom I think is fully awake now.

"Aw," Colet complained when the lady checked it, tilting her head to the side. And I was just watching them.

"Who did this?"

"A person."

"Aw!" she hissed in pain when the girl pinched her side.

"I don't know! I was driving around last night and stopped by a nightclub then-—- wait, where's Jhoanna?" she halted and looked around. Our eyes met and I smiled awkwardly at her.

"Who is she?" the lady asks again.

"She's my boss." Colet simply said

"What?"

"She's Jhoanna Robles, the CEO of Robles Entertainment," Lisa said again, and I was just waiting for the lady's feedback.

"Then, why is she her?" she asked in a calmer tone.
