Chasing the Rejected CEO Chapter 1: Model
CASSANDRA "Can you insert your thumb into the garter?" The word sounds weird to the ears but in the world of models, I'm used to it. I did as he said, simply glancing at the camera he was placing on his right eye. Imagine, isa siyang CEO pero siya ang gumagawa ng trabaho ng mga photographer? Nice? No...Mukhang hindi pa siya kuntento sa pinapagawa niya sa akin. Inalayo niya sandali ang camera sa mukha niya at sinabing, "Could you pull up your garter a little? Para lang ito sa promotion, proof na ang item ay high quality. Hope you..." He trailed off at dinugtungan ng gesture ng kamay upang ipaintindi sa akin ang ibig niyang sabihin. My stomach twists, my body does not accept his words but he has a point. He has the right to demand because this is his product and he is paying me as its model. I heaved a sigh and tumango. "Yes sir." Nag-pose ako. Three flashes of light from the camera hit my eyes and created luminosity in my vision. Umayos siya ng tayo. As he staring at the result, n

CASSANDRATres Salveirus...I really don't know why I can't find this person on social media. I keep searching him but no Tres Salveirus has appeared na may mukha niya. May mga lumabas nga pero hindi naman siya. Imposible naman na gagamit siya ng account gamit ang mukha ng iba. My bedroom door opened, but I didn't pay attention to see who entered. I only guessed it when she rested her chin on my shoulder. I smelled the favorite perfume of Pighati, ibig sabihin si Painch. "Grabe, pati sa gogol hinahanap mo siya? Malala na iyang obsession mo, Sandra." I huffed at pinatabingi ang ulo upang bigyan siya ng masamang tingin. I closed the laptop on my lap and flinched my shoulder to get rid of the sharp bone of her chin that was also pressing against my shoulder's. She mumbled ouch, na hindi ko naman binigyan ng simpleng sorry. I just heaved a sigh hopelessly and asked, "Mali ba iyong ginagawa ko? I mean...five years na eh. Hindi ko pa rin maiwasang umasa. Parang fresh pa rin ang mga nangya

CASSANDRAI don't really understand my friends. All I know is that they are hiding something from me about that Billboard. When they talked to me, they had a link given to me for registration. I didn't complain, or refuse since it was a good opportunity.This is Perfect Muse model agency. I haven't been a part of a modeling agency for a long time after my last one and every company I applied to, ay mga puno na. Well, dito lang naman kasi sa Baguio at noon naman iyon bago ako sumuko. Madalas akong hindi tinatanggap dahil sa nakikita ang sobrang pagkastress ko sa utang at nawalan pa ng ina at isa pa talagang tumaba ako sa kabila ng problema. That's why, I can't blame those who refused. Iyon nga lang, naging matumal ako sa sidelines.Kaya mas tumataas pa ang tubo sa mga utang ko kaysa sa bawas dahil sa na-pending ako ng mga isang taon. Ngayon na naman ako naging handa ulit dahil nga ito talaga ang goal namin. Luckily, my body has returned to its former beauty, kaya sa ngayon, medyo napa

CASSANDRA "Four, five, six, seven, kick, point side..." From the white wall, wearing white bikini; the design is quite revealing, pero may suporta akong hip craft na sigurado namang maalis rin mamaya, sinusunod ko ang dikta ng baklang instructor. "...cross legs, ikot!" Umikot ako and pointed my right toe to the right side when he said, "Point side!" and, "Untie craft!" Kinalas ko ang hip craft sa baywang ko as he says, "Ikot!" Umikot ako. "And pose!" I followed. Ginawa ko iyon sa loob ng ilang segundo lamang. Pumalakpak siya at sinabing, "Perfect!" Nangibabaw ang palakpakan mula kay miss Miles, at sa dalawa kong kaibigan. Huminga ako nang malalim upang ibsan ang naghuhuramentadong tibok ng puso ko. Maraming kapwa ko models ang nanonood sa performance ko. Hindi ako confidence kung magaling ba talaga ako pero masasabi kong nasunod ko lahat ang on the spot na sinasabi ng instructor sa bawat segundo. Tumalikod ang instructor at nangibabaw ulit ang boses ng sabihin niyang, "Again!" Ak

CASSANDRAMadame Miles or Miss Miles says—I think I have to choose between these two addressing classes, maybe Madame is better—and yeah, according to him, I have a rehearsal this afternoon. So sigurado na nga na ako talaga ang participant ng Perfect Muse. My name will be submitted to White Kiss this day. Makakarating ba iyon kay Tres? Honestly, I can't help but be proud of him secretly. I'm curious how he got to this point being a CEO other than he has a billionaire father. Based on Madame's story, wala raw talagang asawa ang Dad nila, pero nangangailangan ng mga tagapagmana kaya nag-buo ng anim na anak sa iba't ibang babae para sa anim na kompaniya—ang weird talaga. And the reason was that he had difficulty handling such a large property. After all, it is six companies. Pero talagang napakadaya ni Tres na hindi niya nasabi sa akin noon na isa pala siyang Deluco.Nasa pangalan pa rin niya ang Salveirus at apelyido nga iyon ng kaniyang ina. Ang naalala ko lang sa mga sinasabi niy

THIRD Staring at my client's achievements records, my eyes narrowed into slit. He wants to be an investor of White Kiss even though my company is already enough in this regard. One of the things I've learned throughout my life is to help people but when it comes to business, I'm not a mutt. He has many achievements and has a good investment records in every company he joined, but no...not sure. Some of these companies are failures— bankrupt. Pero...siya ang apektado, even though he is not the cause. Nagdadalawang isip ako whether to accept him or not especially since he is the first Filipino to be a white kiss investor.I looked at him observing how he checked my papers. I know he will see the failures of the company's financial statement 6 years ago. I want to see his reaction especially since the record is worse, but knowing that my company has worked well and it has come far than before, I am not sure if he will refuse. Nilapag ko ang records niya sa lamesa, katabi ng isang pen

CASSANDRA "What?!" Madame Miles is currently sitting on the couch—there's a laptop on his lap—quickly facing me na kasalukuyan ring nag-aayos ng mga pinamili sa ibabaw ng lamesa. Ang posisyon kasi ng quarter namin, mula sa pintuan, sa harap nito ay dalawang kwarto. Sa kanan banda ay Living room, at sunod nito ay crystal door na ang nasa labas naman ay balcony. Makikita roon ang lahat ng makikita sa labas. Sa kaliwa naman ay dining area kung nasaan ako, at may division lang for kitchen. Hindi naman malayo ang distansya. Sa mga kwarto naman share kaming tatlo sa kanan at ang sa kaliwa naman ay solo na siya roon."Ikaw? Pumasok sa sasakyan ng iba?" he added out of shock. Kinagat ko ang labi ko sa sobrang hiya. Narinig ko ang ipit na ipit na pagtawa ni Painch at sinabi pang, "Naiwan pa nga ang sapatos niya sa loob kaya napilitan siyang bumili ng bago." Humagalpak siya ng tawa na nakahawak sa tiyan.Napasandal si Madame Miles sa sandalan ng couch habang humugalpak rin sa pagtawa. Napat

THIRD This day...I don't know if I can call it worst or great day. I was out of focus all day, I canceled three appointments, I couldn't concentrate on work, yet I felt happy, as if the feelings of missing her were relieved, but the pain returned as well.The moment of how she rejected me, pushed me away as if I had never been a good person to her, came back to my memory. She was one of those people who made me feel unworthy of love that I'm not acceptable even if taken advantage of. Oo nga, mataas na ang posisyon ko ngayon. Ako ang nakaupo sa trono pero alam ko ang katotohanan sa likod ng buhay na mayroon ako. As the CEO of White Kiss? I can't say, I'm lucky because I'm the son of a Billionaire Deluco. I'm just like the Lingerie, a product but the base of everything.Isa lang ako sa mga anak na sinadyang buuin ng aking ama sa sinapupunan ng aking ina, hindi para maging parte ng buhay niya kundi para tagahawak ng ari-arian niya. Masakit isipin na hinintay niya lang akong lumaki, at

Chasing the Rejected CEO Chapter 16: Her doubts
CASSANDRANasaktan ako sa 30 over 100 na binigay ni Tres. I can't help but cry, but I can't show to my group that I'm crying either. I know, they understand why but my reason is more than my reason they knew.Talagang pinaramdam ni Tres sa akin na galit siya at totoong mahihirapan ako. Wala naman akong ibang gusto kundi ang malapitan siya at makausap man lang, pero ayokong ilagay sa kahihiyan ang sarili ko kaya pinupursige ko ang modeling contest na ito bilang paraan ko.Naniniwala kasi ako na once nasa itaas na ako, malaki ang posibilidad na magkakaroon ako ng pagkakataon na makausap siya. I want him to know that I regret rejecting him that day at sa mga masasakit na salitang binitawan ko. Hindi naman totoong never ko siyang magustuhan, na galit ako sa kaniya. Kabaliktaran ang naramdaman ko nang mahimasmasan ako. Bawal ba talaga magulat? Hindi ko lang kasi alam ang gagawin ko noon after he confesses, of course he knows me as hard to get. Pero sa ngayon, halata talagang galit siya.

THIRD In Sterin De Natch, since Fifth and Sais are with us now, the hangout is held at the pool. Fifth loves to swim, especially at night. Mabilis rin kasi mag-init sa upuan ang puwet niya kung doon lamang kami sa loob. Pagdating ko, saktong tumalon si Sais sa pool, si Fifth na naman ay nakalublob na rin sa tibig, habang si uno naman nakaupo sa upuan na nakatayo lang sa mismong gilid ng pool, kaharap nito ay si Fourth, halatang mayroon silang pinag-uusapan ngunit hindi naman ganoon kaseryoso. Mayroon lamang lamesa sa pagitan nila, at sa right side ni Uno sa left side ni Fourth nakaupo doon si Dos. Doon ako dumiretso, na agad rin namang napansin ni Uno. Sa pagtingin niya sa akin, lumingon si Dos, agad itong tumayo. Si Fourth naman ay pasimple lang akong tiningnan. Lagi naman. "Kung empleyado kita, wala ka nang trabaho kinabukasan," ani Dos, na kumuha ng baso, at nilagyan ito ng alak. Umikot ako sa kabila kung saan may bakanteng upuan ngunit kung halimbawa pag-inatake ng katarantad
Chasing the Rejected CEO Chapter 14: His shock
THIRD "How is your new secretary, okay ba? Sapat na ba?" tanong ni Uno habang papasok na kami sa convention. Sumagot naman ako habang nag-aayos ng pin ng suit ko sa wrist, "Wala akong issue sa kaniya. She's good and thanks. I appreciate it." Totoo ang sinabi ko, tila magaling manghula ng isipan ang bagong secretary ko at totoo ngang tomboy siya.He nodded. He went in first, I just followed. Walking in the backstage, some of the models were already outside and some were still in the dressing room. Dalawang exit ng runway, si Uno, Dos at ako, ay tumungo sa kanang exit, ang tatlo naman naming kapatid ay nasa kaliwa. Hindi magtatagal ay magsisimula na ang show, at mukhang kami lang din ang hinihintay. "I think I like the number 8," Dos mumurs, at pagtingin ko sa kaniya na nakatayo sa tabi ko. He's smirking.Hindi pa ba siya kontento sa sekretarya niya at gusto pang tumikim ng White Kiss participants? Uno glared at him, hissing, "Tame your dick, Dos." Currently up here at the back of
Chasing the Rejected CEO Chapter 13: Introduction
CASSANDRAhuffed trying to muster up the courage. I say nothing to myself but the word, 'kaya ko ito, para kay Tres ito.' I ignored the hosts saying: male and female voice. But after they introduced themselves, what they said next dominated my attention."And now it's time to pay attention to our Deluco Titans!" People chanting loudly. Napatingin ako sa kabilang linya ng mga model. Masyadong malayo ito mula sa kinaroroonan namin, malapad kasi ang runway sa labas ng backstage na ito, at parehong exit ang kinaroroonan namin. Katulad ko, ngiting tagumpay rin ang suot ng mga modelong iyon. Ang totoo nga niyan, ang ilan sa kanila ay nakakausap ko na rin, at wala akong problema sa mga ugali. Napaka-professional makitungo, unlike sa mga dating pageant na sinalihan ko dati.Curious lang talaga kasi ako kung ang nararamdaman ko bang abo't langit na kaba ay nararamdaman rin nila? "Let's start with the sixth brother of Delucos!" Chant ng female voice. She added, "He is known as one of the st

CASSANDRANapa-igtad ako nang sundutin ni Maple ang tagiliran ko. "Tamis ng ngiti!" Tumingin ako sa kaniya. The way she looked at me malinaw na curious siya. "Napa'no ka?" Thinking about what happened earlier, napangisi ako. Nangalumbaba na tumingin sa labas, at pinagmasdan ang mga streetlights na dinadaanan ng aming sasakyan. Kasalukuyan na kasi kaming nasa byahe pauwi sa Perfect Muse building. Hindi mawala sa isip ko si Tres, sobrang bango niya, sobrang gwapo. "Mukhang may something na nangyari kanina, Maple. 'Lam mo na!" paghula ni Painch. Nasa tabi lang ito ni Maple, si Maple kasi ang makaupo sa pagitan namin. Then Painch asked me, "Hoy, Sandra! May nakita ka doon kanina no?" Kasama namin si Madame Miles. Hindi niya pwedeng malaman na si Tres ay si Third. Ayoko pa, hindi pa ako handa kaya nag-isip ako ng palusot at ang nasabi ko ay, "Kinikilig ako sa isang sapatos doon kanina. Sobrang gwapo—este maganda!" Kinagat ko ang labi ko, muntik na ako magkamali ng term.Alam ko na magu
Chasing the Rejected CEO Chapter 11: Awkward
CASSANDRAI looked away and secretly took a deep breath. I shouldn't wonder why he denied na kilala niya ako. Deserve ko naman ideny, masakit nga lang, pero deserve ko rin masaktan. Kasalanan ko naman eh, at deserve ko rin magsisi. Hinanap ko siya sa loob ng limang taon tapos heto...ouch! Hindi niya ako kilala. "Oh! Really..." Halata sa boses ni Dos na hindi siya naniniwala. He actually added, "The way you look at her..." I inhaled deeply feeling Dos' eyes zeroing in on me, as he asked me too, "You know him?" He jerked his thumb at Tres.Pati ang isa nilang kapatid tila interesado sa sagot ko, the way he looked at me, clearing his throat secretly but still noticeable whilst nasa bulsa ang mga kamay niya. Para talaga akong matutunaw dito sa harapan nilang tatlo, pero sinikap kong magsalita sa kabila ng magkahalo-halong emotion ko, "Yes." Tumingin ako kay Tres. His brows quirked as he seemed ready to deny me again, but I added, "I see him everywhere, he's a famous CEO of a famous Li
Chasing the Rejected CEO Chapter 10: Got lost
CASSANDRAAt the yoga center with another model of the Perfect Muse, my body is currently running over the yoga wheel and slowly placing my hand close to hold the wheel that passes over my head, as well as my feet, so that I can roll my body in the process of the wheel. In short, I'm doing the pigeon pose to target the hips opener and forward bend.Ipinikit ko ang aking mga mata, kailangan kong tumagal sa ganitong posisyon in 30 seconds, lalo na't may time basis ang aking instructor. It was quiet around and he was just talking to me calmly. Sometimes what he says doesn't absorb in my mind especially when I remember Tres. I really feel that what I dreamed is true.Kasama ko ba talaga siya kagabi? Siya ba talaga ang nanita sa lalaking muntik na akong bastusin? Tapos niyakap niya ako, totoo kaya iyon?After 30 seconds, nagbago na naman ako ng posisyon ayon sa dikta ng instructor ko. I stretched my legs straight to relax. "We observed your balanced diet, the way you take food—I mean what
Chasing the Rejected CEO Chapter 9: Jealousy
THIRD I need short-term distractions to relax myself from the difficulties I'm dealing with today. But, still no biggie, it's not about business but just about a personal issue. My problem with the company is only my secretary and there is always a solution for that.My concern is my self issue, I really don't understand what's wrong with me right now. Luckily, I didn't have an appointment with my designer, I purposely put this matter aside to give myself time to spend the night with my brothers.Parking my car in front of Sterin De Natch, I breathe out glancing outside, kung saan makikita ang iba't ibang mga babaeng naka-abang sa paglabas ko. This is one of famous night club also owned by Dos. But often those who come here are wealthy people, mostly foreigners, or others are college students from international universities. Ramdam ko rin ang mga maiinit na matang nakatutok sa sasakyan ko since Lamborghini Sian itong gamit ko. Talagang nakakaagaw pansin ito para sa iba but for me h
