Chapter 25
HEART kept on glancing at the digital clock. She was ready to go to work, but Lux had not yet arrived at the condo. She continued to tie her shoelaces and then stood up. Lux had told her earlier that he would come to meet her and bring her some money. She was worried that he might have changed his mind, but she was even more concerned that something might have happened to him on the way, or that he was with his wife and couldn't come.
She suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, and her brows furrowed. She took her cellphone and composed a message for Lux.
Heart: Sir, are you still coming? I'm on my way to work.
She also sent a message to her mother.
Heart: Mom, I'm going to work.
