Gotta Be You Chapter 18: Jealous
Bammie crossed her arms across her chest and squinted her eyes to Sandra when they were finally left alone in Phoenix's studio."You're unusually quiet out there Sandra. What's wrong?" she asked when she can no longer contain the silent treatment her best friend was giving to everyone since yesterday.She was only talking to comment or point out Bammie or Levi's mistakes, or just commented whenever she heard something wrong with their tune, which was really unusual since Sandra loved to tease Bammie whenever she's in the recording booth. Sandra's brows immediately furrowed as she looked back at her best friend. "I'm just thinking," she answered dismissively, obviously didn't want to elaborate further. But Bammie being the type of person who cannot be contented on that kind of answer, demanded for more. "About what?" she arched her eyebrow."About something," Sandra answered briefly.Bammie tilted her head and studied her best friend. She could tell from the way her brows knitted tog

Sebastian's brows deeply furrowed after Bammie and Sandra left the studio. He was puzzled at the strange behavior of his boss, for he was not used to see her to be quite the whole time. Before the recording, he already have prepared himself to be cautious and alert once Sandra finally showed up. However, those preparations come into waste when the woman just pressed her cheek on his and didn't give any remarks nor smiled at him when she came in along with Bammie. And she didn't even bother bidding goodbye when they left. She just walked out when Bammie was announcing that they have to go. He shook his head. He couldn't help but become curious of her sudden attitude towards him when he's supposed to be the one who does that to her.After personally witnessing the kiss of Sandra and Dominic from a quite far distance, he decided to ignore her as much as he can, if he cannot avoid her because they're working together. She only means trouble. And he should stop associating himself from

"Seriously?" Bammie exclaimed excitedly when Sandra told her about Carmina and Zion's collaboration plan. "I thought you don't like her?" she protruded.Sandra tilted her head whilst raising her eyebrows. "Business is business Bammie. I don't like her personally, but she's still an asset that needed to dig in from her deeply buried career." she answered in a matter-of-fact tone.Bammie smiled knowingly then squealed while hugging her best friend. "Oh goodness! Finally, I'm gonna hear her voice and see her swag charisma again! Thank you Sandra!" she shrieked with her deafening voice."You're fangirling again, Bammie," Dominic chuckled "I can imagine you jumping and squealing when you're recording with Levi" "I was behave earlier. All his attention was on Sandra, so, how can I do that? In fact, I had a fun watching Sandra melting Sebastian Lee with her intent stares," she giggled. "Speaking of the phoenix, when will you ask him?" "Ask him what?" Dominic jerked in."About his relation

Sebastian immediately looked away after a lie slipped from his tongue. He was just bullshitting. Just thinking about him and Carmina as a couple was giving him a freaking goosebumps. He couldn't fathom the idea of them being together, since he just saw Carmina as his younger sister and a best friend. He tried so hard to maintain a poker face. He didn't want to show anything in front of Sandra, for he didn't want her to realize that he was lying in her face. To be honest, he was already feeling guilty, however, he knew it was for his own good. "Five years?" he heard Sandra mumbled. "That's long. Carmina is really good at hiding. That was such a skill.." she said that made him looked at her again.He was about to retort because he knew there's something hidden from her statement. However, no words came out from his mouth when her bright sweet smile welcomed him. He shut his eyes instantly and groaned inwardly. His heart beat started to accelerate at the freaking blinding sight. Shakin

"What did you do to him Sandra? He looks like a walking zombie!" Bammie chuckled as she watched Sebastian marching lifelessly to the elevator.Sandra beamed as she recalled his reaction earlier inside her office. She was expecting it, but still, she can't help but be genuinely amazed by how she could affect the guy. "I think Sebastian Lee is dead," she stated with a wide grin.Dominic on the other hand, narrowed his eyes on Sandra. He saw her stepsister trailing behind Sebastian with a satisfied grin plastered on her face earlier, while the poor guy looked like a robot walking with a flabbergasted expression. He knew right hen that she did something to him and that's what he was about to ask but Bammie beat him."Did you rape him?" Dominic gasped exaggeratedly as his eyes widened in utter shock. "Please tell me you didn't!" he immediately exclaimed as he shook Sandra's shoulders and forcing her to agree with him.Meanwhile, Sandra just laughed at her stepbrother's over dramatic react

Two weeks have passed and he only had seen her twice in Mr. Park's office and a few minutes inside his studio with Bammie and Levi for their song's final touch.The woman always sent her secretary to monitor any updates regarding the songs for other artists, or often gave a sudden phone calls for an urgent discussions since then and nothing more. He didn't hear anything from her, other than work related and her rumors with Dominic Chua, that unfortunately was still circulating. He was lying to himself if he says he wasn't bothered at all because damn he was. He felt unsettled and couldn't even sleep at night for thinking too much, and because of the pang of guilt he felt for lying and using Carmina as an excuse to save himself. He just realized how selfish he was for thinking only himself, not even thinking of the aftermath and now he couldn't ignore it anymore.He clicked his tongue w

Christian Choi was young and masculine. His arms were full of tattoos that gave him a badboy aura. If Sandra didn't call him, he would mistaken him as a celebrity. "Sebastian Lee, right?" Christian approached him. He could only nod. "Sandra said that I should get your opinion about the story line. So, I'm here to invite you to watch the drafts and choose which one you think should be included in the music video," he explained then instructed one of the staff to play the first scene on the screen in front of him. Sebastian complied obediently and took advantage to point out the scenes he thought were best. If he could help them save money and time, he will do it. It's for his song anyway."Two? Really?" Christian frowned then tilted his head and looked at him in amusement. "And here I thought everything was boring," he muttered while shaking his head.

"Why?" "He's jealous!" Bammie giggled again, "If you just saw it Sandra, you'll gonna take back your words about him" Sandra shook her head as the corner of her lips tugged upward.

“Are you married?” Thomas straightforwardly asked in a low baritone voice that gave everyone goosebumps except for Sandra.

Meanwhile, Sandra folded her arms across her chest as she equalled her father's murderous stares. She looked calm and seemed unbothered and not scared with the presence of the intimidating old man, most probably because she was as intimidating as him as well. “Yes,” she answered without any hesitation. Then the corner of her lips slowly lifted upward as her eyes sparkled brightly, “But not with Jay Kim,” she immediately corrected before her father could ask if Jay's paper was not fake.Simon, Carmina and Levi gasped loudly upon hearing Sandra's answer.

Levi looked behind his shoulder as he noticed that Sandra was missing. His thick brows then furrowed upon seeing the woman was left behind there, immobile and stayed still on her spot while looking somewhere else. Following her line of vision, Levi's jaw instantly clenched when he caught a stranger hiding behind the huge plant decoration, in a nearby distance on the right corner of the hallway, holding a camera that was directed towards them and obviously taking pictures.His gaze then went back to Sandra and immediately, his thick eyebrows pulled together as he wondered why the camera was on them when the woman they were after was on the other side. Levi was about to just shrug it off when he thought that the stranger might've just mistook one of the two girls with him as Sandra. However, it would be impossible because the woman was slimmer than the other two. The creases on his forehead deepened as his eyes wandered to his companion, searching for the possible target of that stran
