Taming You (JhoLet Adaptation)

Chapter 7

"I called them last night but both weren't answering, I guess they were busy with something
so I went to that club all by myself." I said and paused, "Turns out that, they forgot that its the most hated day of the month." I chuckled.

"I was still on my first shot glass when you saw me last night that's why I'm still sober. Then after that was history, between you and me." I said and pointed at her and myself.

"Don't you have security with you?" she asked instead.
"I had."

"Why the past tense?"

"Because I told my father that I don't like it when someone follows me every day and everywhere. It's annoying." I shrug.

"For a troublesome like you, you badly need one," she said which made me arch my brows. I was about to talk but she beat me to it.

"And you're the CEO of the Company for heaven's sake! You need one," she said shaking her head.

"I don't go around that much so I don't need one. And also not all people know that I'm the CEO because I am a very private person. You don't even know me back then, to the extent that you think I was my father's secretary." I said and she blushed. She's still embarrassed tho.

"Tsk, it's because I'm not into show business that's why I am not familiar with those entertainment companies." she reasoned so I just nodded to mock her more.

"You're a photographer Colet." I pointed out.

"That's my passion but it's not my top priority job," she said emphasising the phrase.

"Oh? What's your top priority job then?" I mimicked.

"I'm a secret..." she must've realized something that made her stop on her tracks.

"What?"

"It's a secret," she said and walked out of the kitchen.

"Yah! Don't leave me hanging Nicolette! Tell me!" I said but she just stuck her tongue out at me. Childish. I was in the middle of nagging Colet about her freaking top-priority job when my phone rang. I looked at the caller and saw Ate Aiah's face on it. What's with this Dog? I told her that I'd just text both of them, why is she calling?

"Answer it," Colet said. I look at her, she's sitting on her carpeted floor while I'm on her one and only couch, she's weird for having one couch only.

"I told them that I'll text them." I voiced out my thoughts.

"Must be important," she said still looking at the TV. I sigh and answer it and walk towards the room where I slept a couple of hours ago.

"Yah, I told you that-—-"

"I know you told us that you're gonna text, but Jho! This is urgent!" she said dramatically. She's indeed an artist. Tss.

"Some circumstances happened! And Uncle is on his way here in your house! Good thing he called Nanny saying that something happened there in Tokyo that's why his flight back here was changed. YOU NEED TO FREAKING COME HOME! NOW!" she said still panicking, my lips parted upon hearing what she said. I ended the call and grabbed my purse, I would be so dead if my Papa found this out. I promised him that I won't be a pain in the ass and here I am, being one. Maybe I am troublesome like what that annoying creature said. I ran outside the guest room while pulling my hair up in a bun.

"You going home already?" Colet asked when she saw me. I bit my lip, I know this is too much but I can't be there before my Papa if I let those two pick me up and it'll be a long explanation if they find out that I spend the night with Colet.

"Can I... ask you a favor?" she simply nodded her head.

"Can you drive me home? My Dad is back from Japan and he'd kill me if he found out about this." I said motioning my arms in some random direction. I'm feeling anxious now, my father is one of the nicest guys but he's one of the scariest ones too when he's mad. She didn't say anything and just stood up, turned the TV off, and grabbed her keys and her jacket that I used last night before heading to her front door.
