Azotea is the newest restaurant of the Tolosa empire. Located on a cascating slope on the Tagaytay Ridge, the restaurant follows the open air concept established by the earlier restaurants. It's drawing power is its picturesque view of Taal Lake and Volcano.

"I hope you enjoy the ambience." Adrian said. As a peace offering to Laarni, Adrian took her there for dinner. Laarni smiled. She wanted to unwind so she accepted the offer anyway. "I would really like to apologize."

"It's ok. I understand." Laarni said in between bites of smoked sea bass. She thought about the situation and saw that her closeness to miguel could be affecting her relationship with adrian, but he could not bear parting with Miguel.

"Well, well, well!" a familiar voice greeted. Laarni turned around to see Miguel walking toward them. She was about to stand up and run to him, but he saw that there was someone with him. The woman was tall, svelte and very modelesque, her dark hair extend to below her shoulders, her eyes were rouns like saucers, and her lips lucious.

Laarni felt a knife stab her chest. She did not know how to react.

"Miguel." she said, devoid of emotion. "What brings you here."

"I'm on a date. By the way this is Katarzyna Villadolid. Kat, this is Laarni Losala and her boyfriend, Adrian Tolosa." Katarzyna nodded in recognition. Laarni recognized the name right away. Katarzyna Villadolid was a piano protege who had monthly concerts at the CCP.

"Small world." Adrian said. "Care to join us?"

"Gladly." Miguel said as he escorted Katarzyna to the empty seat across Laarni.
