"Thank you so much, Nanay Emily. I will call you later, I have to go." I said kissing her cheek.
"Okay, take care of yourself, Sophia."
"I will, Nanay. Anyway, can you thanks Tatay Berto for me? I really appreciate your help."
"Don't worry, I will let him know." She patted my hand and looked at the both end of the aisle, and when she noticed that Ben wasn't there, she immediately urged me to leave. "Go, Sophia, before he arrives or someone sees you."
"What about you? What if they noticed that I was missing?"
"Don't worry about us, we will just make any excuses for them."
I smiled and hugged her tightly before I deciding run into the back entrance of the supermarket, where Damian and Bryan were waiting for me.

Flashback...
"Jesus Christ, are you sure of this, Sophia?"
Nanay Emily's eyes turned wide when I told them my plan. She was surprised by the ridiculous idea, but Tatay Berto just gave me a smile and a double thumbs up.
"Yes! I have no other choice, Nanay. This is the only idea I have in mind to escape."
She stared at me for a few seconds and I screamed when she finally nodded.
"Thank you so much, Nanay Emily. This means a lot to me." I said hugging her tightly.
"But promise me, you would take care of yourself, Sophia."
"I will, Nanay Emily, I promise." I even raised my right hand as a sign of promise.
"Fine, I will just take my bag."
"Thank you. Thank you so much!"
I uttered a silent prayer when they took their steps towards the front door. The plan is that I will hide in the trunk of the car and go out only when they have reached the parking lot of the supermarket.
But of course, I need the help of the two oldies to carry out this plan. Nanay Emily will talk to Ben, who will be her driver, while Tatay Berto will talk to the other guards to lure them. And I will use the backdoor to reach the garage and hide in the car's trunk.
A few moments later...
My heart was hammering inside ribcage as I watched Tatay Berto walking towards the guards' cabin. But I bit my lower lip when Nanay Emily played the best actress in the famas when she purposely tripped her foot, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Her plan succeeded when Ben and two other guards rushed towards her and helped her to stand. It was then that I immediately ran to the car. But for my not so lucky moment of the day, Bingo, the hardener saw me when I was about to close the trunk.
"Ma'am Sophia, what are you doing?"
-'What the fuck?'- I couldn't help but utter a silent curse when I saw him walking in my direction.
"Shhh! Please be quiet!" I whispered as I placed my index finger on my lips.
"What are you going to do? Are you planning to escape?"
I balled my fists as I narrowed my eyes on him.
"Do you want to know what I am planning to do? I will fucking kill you if they find out my plan!" I gritted my teeth and he rapidly blinked his eyes in shock.
If we were just in a different situation, I'm sure I already found myself rolling on the floor, clutching my stomach while laughing at his horrified face, but no, we were in a situation where I had to hide in a freaking trunk just to escape from Daniel's security team.
"Bingo, what are you doing there?"
-'Fuck!'-
My eyes widened and gulped nervously as we both heard Ben's voice.
But I didn't expect what Bingo did next.
"Ouch!"
I hitched my breath when he suddenly (forcibly) closed the trunk before Ben could notice me.
"Oh, I was just looking for my phone, I think I saw it under the car."
"You saw your phone under the car? Are you kidding me or are you fucking crazy?"
I bite my lips just to control my laugh as I heard their conversation.
"No! I saw it under this car!"
"How will your phone go under this freaking car, huh?"
"Uhm...maybe someone played a frank joke on me and put my phone under this car."
