Chapter 8 Giannis Recognize A Soul

GIANNIS' Point-of-View "Good morning, Soul! Are you there?" Giannis asked when he woke up. No one answered! He waited for a few seconds more. "So it means, you are not real! I was just drunk last night. " He got up and went straight to the restroom. At the hospital... "What is happening?" I confusedly asked. "Mama Vito, why does someone seem to be pulling on me?" I panicked. "Maddie, Maddie! Maddison!" Mommy shouted. The monitoring device turned flat line. The doctors and nurses ran to revive me! What is going on? "You have to do something good for the person who discerned you! You need to help him stop this occurrence from happening! He will play a big role in you so you should be the same as him! "Mama Vito explained. "What? What good can I do to him?" while I change my glance from my earthy body to Mama Vito. "Please! Save my child! You need to save her." Mommy shouted again while breaking down. She suddenly lost consciousness. At the same time, the doctors were able to revive me! I made sure Mommy was okay first before I proceed with my new mission. It is good and she is getting better. I am still alive. That good news gave her another strength. I cannot bear to see her like this! So devastated. So depressed. No! I was about to leave when Basty suddenly arrived with Jonah. The three of us are in the same department in their company. And why are they here? "Hera, let me just visit Maddie." Basty approached Hera who is my lookout while Mom is resting. My Dad and brother, Jesiah are with my Mom right now. "Maybe you need to talk to her. Maddie almost died a little while ago. The doctors just saved her. " Hera announced him. He nodded. Jonah was left outside. They cannot enter simultaneously. I followed Basty. Why is he carrying an envelope? What is his main purpose for visiting me, my earthly body? "Sorry, Maddie, I need to do this!" And he put ink on my finger and then put it on the paper he was carrying. He tried to remove the ink before he finally came out. What is that? I followed them as they said goodbye and left the hospital. "What is that for?" Jonah asked. So she does not know the reason they came to visit me? "Remember our former client, Mr. Lacsamana? The rich businessman loves Maddie s work of art. " Basty's introduction. "Ah! Yes, the one who requested Ma'am Maddie to make a ring for his wife." Jonah was able to recall him. "Yes, I remember Mr. Lacsamana," I said to myself. "He wants us to make jewelry again for him. A bangle bracelet this time. He will like Maddie's work again. So I printed her work from her computer then I got her thumb mark. For legal purposes. If I would be questioned, I can show them the document with her fingerprint. And so that Dad will not fire me. He will still entrust me with the position even without Maddison. "Basty explained in length. "I thought you were nice to me! Now I know you just have a hidden agenda. You did not even care for me as your friend! You convince Daddy that you are deserving of me! You made my father believe that I would be a happy wife with you! You are so cruel, Basty! You are self-centered!" I said angrily. And the soul is in beast-mode! And I left them. I went to Bijou Infini. Instead of putting Basty first in my mind, I will just put Giannis. I need to help him. How? That is what I should find out. A big challenge that I need to accept whether I like it or not. "Sir, coffee, tea, or me?" A woman asked Giannis. "No thanks, Ryza. I am okay." he refused. He looks gloomy! Not in the mood. Then she left Giannis. He faced the computer. Then he suddenly smiled. I got curious with that smirk on his face. I approached him. I stared at his face. What a handsome creation especially when smiling. The whiteness of his even teeth will pass for a toothpaste commercial. His lips seem to be a good kisser! Oh my gosh! Why am I thinking about a kiss? I even touched his lips and as usual, my touch just infiltrated. And I looked at what made him smile. A photo. A photo of a woman! She is good-looking! As in, beautiful! But of course, I am better than her! Wow! That is the spirit, Maddie. I told myself. "Althea! I miss you so much!" Said Giannis. Why? Is she dead? Who is she? "Your girlfriend?" I was no longer restrained. "Oh!!! So, you are here again!" He said and move a little. "She looks pretty!" I complimented her. "She is my ex! Maybe gossip is not trending with souls! So I can tell you whatever I want to tell you. Without you judging me. Judging my past. Judging my mistakes. She is married. " he calmly said. "Wow! I am sorry to hear that!" But I was smiling. I felt instant relief when he said that she is married. "You know, it is still unbelievable you exist. I thought I am depressed or drunk. Or maybe I am just going crazy over my hundredfold difficulty." He put his elbow on the table. "I also did not expect you to hear me. I am glad you did." I was seated on his lap. Maybe this is the help he needs. About his ex? But she is married! What help can I do for them? Do I need to interfere between them to get back together again? Then when it comes to his ex, I do not feel like helping him! There is a little bitterness in my heart. "What do you look like?" Giannis said suddenly. "What? We have met once. I just do not know if you still remember me. " I lay down on the table. "Where? When was that? We met?" He asked again, obviously shocked by what I said. "In the parking lot of Samgyupsal Restaurant! I followed you because I broke up with my boyfriend. Then I told him, you are my new date. I am sorry for doing that without asking for your permission! " I explained to him. "OH? Honestly, I did not notice that woman much! I mean, you! Because I am busted that time. I am supposed to meet Althea. She called me over the phone and told me about her wedding. She told me that she will pursue it. That there was no chance left for us She separated with me over the phone. " his face was sad. I do not want to see his downcast face. It is breaking my heart too. "The necklace!" I remembered. "Huh? Why do you know about it?" He was moved. "You dropped it! I picked it up. I have the necklace. Is that Bijou Infini made? " I confessed to him. He is starting to feel comfortable talking to a soul. This is another good sign. "I thought I lost that forever! I designed that necklace especially for her. Yes! That is Bijou Infini! How did you know about Bijou Infini? Oh well, you are here at the company." And again he faced the computer. He showed a soft copy of the necklace. "Can you see it?" he asked. "Yes, that is the necklace I have," I confirmed. "Sir Giannis, are you talking alone?" We did not notice that someone opened the door. "Ahmmm Ryza, I am talking to someone on the phone. Why?" He quickly thought of an excuse. "I am sorry, I thought you talked to yourself. The CEO is calling you in his office. " She told Giannis. "All right, I will be right there." Said Giannis. "I am sorry! Next time I will be alert!" I said weakly. "It is okay!" And he stood up. I followed him. Why is he summoned by his father? "Sir!" He said. "Is the gossip about you true? Are you still seeing Althea? Giannis, let me remind you that she is already married to someone else. ", his Dad is angry again. "Gossip? You buy gossips now?" Giannis felt annoyed. "It does not matter anymore! Stop seeing Althea. When are you going to prioritize this company? And when will you stop seeing women just to make you feel you are a man? Act like a real man!" The tone of his voice is getting louder. I left them. It is wrong for me to watch him while his father scolds him.
