Set in during the festive season, 'Elite Short Stories: Phillipe Caye Felipe', sees Caye try her best to get over Phillipe, after his actions and behavior during the time they were together. Caye has realized that Phillipe has always gotten whatever he has wanted due to his upbringing and that his money and power make him feel invincible.
For her, however, she is now more than ready to start a new relationship, and Felipe, the young man who works at the donation center, seems like the breath of fresh air she needs. But Phillipe, who is still hung up on her, will go to any length to get her attention. It is refreshing to see Caye hold her ground, even though she seems like she is more focused on convincing Felipe that she is over her ex. However, when Phillipe's presence at the donation center causes a spectator to record their argument, it stirs up old wounds for Caye.
Although hysterical, she composes herself and finally understands what she needs to do. Here, Caye has a critical conversation with Phillipe, where she states that although they love each other, they cannot be together. True to his character, Phillipe only seems to hear that she still loves him. But Caye firmly holds her ground, declaring that she can't be with him. However, she does mention that they could be friends and nothing more.
Phillipe tries to make plans to meet her again, but Caye casually brushes it off, reminding him that while she is not hostile towards him, it is best he move on with his life, the way she has with hers. It's interesting to see Caye move in this direction and Felipe's response to turning down her date offer. Here's hoping that the upcoming season focuses on Caye being her own woman.
