I had barely closed my eyes when I heard my phone ring. Cursing, I took it out from under my pillow and saw Seth calling on Viber.

“Hello? Vinnie?” came his panicked voice from the other line. “Would you know where Cholo is? He’s not picking up.”

Wait—oh. Cholo updated us on Facebook. This must be why I became the ‘where-is-Cholo’ contact.

“He’s asleep already, why?”

“Emergency,” he said. “My girlfriend, Erika, remember her? Our logistics officer? She’s with me now in Hong Kong, we just got the mail—our contact for the lights and sounds for Ephemere are threatening to back out.”

“What?! Why?” I sputtered, unable to believe it.

I could see why Seth was panicking—this was absolute bedlam. They barely managed to make this contact agree to our price. Without them, we would not be able to pull Ephemere off, and the other suppliers would be charging us tens of thousands more if we tried to get them now.

“They got really pissed off. Summer was supposed to meet him last Saturday instead of Erika and she didn’t turn up.”

“What the fuck,” I exclaimed, forgetting to tone my voice down. Even for Summer, that was just so in-your-face rude. I stood up and proceeded to the veranda so I wouldn’t wake anyone up. “Where was Summer?”

“No idea. She wasn’t picking up our calls either. Would you know if Cholo has a thing tomorrow? He could meet up with the contact instead.”

“He can’t,” I said immediately. “They have a family trip to CamSur. Wait, why is the contact asking for a meeting on freaking January First?”

“He says he has a flight the next day, and as we’re basically begging him not to leave us hanging at this point, we have no choice but to give in to his demands. I called Cholo first, him being chairperson and all, and per checking my Instagram feed everyone else in the team is either in Korea, Japan, or Europe—

“Well, tomorrow I’ll just be in Ortigas. Can you give me the contact’s number?”

“OMG, yes! You’re a total lifesaver, Vinnie. Thank you!” said Seth’s girlfriend. I was apparently on speakerphone.

I received Seth’s text containing all the details I asked for just a full minute after hanging up. Yawning, I set my alarm early for the next day.

Alarm label: Girlfriend duties.
