Gotta Be You Chapter 10: Loyalty
“Why are you so agitated about it? Sandra can keep a secret,” Levi chuckled after Sebastian told him what happened the last night.Sebastian, on the other hand, shook his head then ruffled his hair in frustration. He wasn't able to sleep well, thus, he was not in the mood to joke around with Levi. “Did you just come here this early for that, Levi?” he narrowed his eyes on his friend, “Or were you with them to set me up that night and used our CEO?” he asked, full of accusation in his voice. Levi laughed, “Silly. I don't use people,” he shook his head, “Sandra happened to mention having dinner with you last night, so, I woke up early and went here to know the details from you,” he grinned.“Why not ask her instead?” “I want it to hear from you” Sebastian shook his head in disbelief but didn't probe more. He just finished off his coffee and stayed silent for a moment. It's only six thirty in the morning. Usually, he goes to work at eight, but since he woke up at three a.m and wasn't
Gotta Be You Chapter 11: Unwanted Thoughts
Sebastian wasn't surprised when he'd heard of the news about another dating rumor of Sandra Mendez. It only made him sick of hearing her name every freaking time, everywhere. And even his annoying brother could not be of any help, for his big mouth never shuts about her. "No! My sister! Why did you allow Dominic Chua back! No!" Simon whined, kneeling in front of the television as if the woman could see nor hear his plea."Stop it, idiot" Sebastian reprimanded.Simon though, didn't faze for he didn't actually heard Sebastian since he was too busy sulking and crying over the rumor. "Is it true though?" Yohan inquired Levi, who was unusually calm and just silently watched the news, not minding Simon almost harboring the television."Sandra Mendez is really a good catch. If I were one of her ex-boyfriend, I won't let her go and will tie a knot with right away" Damon stated while laughing making his eyes disappeared.Sebastian grimaced upon hearing his friend, "Since when you'd become li
Gotta Be You Chapter 12: Bestfriend
Sandra's eyebrows raised when Bammie tilted her head and smiled mischievously at Sebastian "So, you're.. Sebastian Lee," she said then extended her goddess-like hand on him, offering a handshake.Sebastian gladly accepted it and gave the singer pleasantries, which made Bammie felt really pleased as she looked at Sandra with a knowing grin. "You don't seem bad at all. No wonder Sandra likes you," she said, raising her eyebrows on her bestfriend.Sebastian's forehead creased, not knowing what to reply on that statement. He stared at the singer and saw her grinning at the woman sitting on the other side of the office. He purposely ignored her and acted as if he didn't see her there and just focused his attention on Bammie. Meanwhile, Sandra was just silently watched them converse. She's well aware that the guy was trying to ignore her presence inside the office. She's not offended though. In fact, she's amazed how consistent Sebastian was for avoiding her, even if he's inside her turf.
Gotta Be You Chapter 13: Unexpected
"Hi," Sandra greeted as they entered one of the VIP rooms of the famous and exclusive club in Apgujeung. "Sister!" Simon rushed towards Sandra like a child who've just seen her mother after leaving him in their house alone for a long time. "I'm so happy to see you here. Thank you for inviting us, especially me!" he exclaimed blissfully while holding her hands."No problem, Simon. I promised you that I'll introduce you to Bammie, right?" Sebastian swore he saw the blinding sparks in his brother's eyes after hearing Bammie's name. He wanted to dragged him out of the room immediately to spare some shame, but the latter obviously didn't have that in his body and hugged Sandra while squealing like a little girl. "Thank you, sissy! Where is she?" asked Simon while looked around. "Sandra seem to bore adoration to Simon. She's spoiling that brat," Yohan commented on his side. Sebastian shook his head. His eyes then caught Sandra, and the latter gave him her infamous sweet smile before st
Gotta Be You Chapter 14: Not Interested
Chapter 14 | Not InterestedSebastian didn't know that it would feel damn good when Sandra fina-fvcking-ly approved the song he submitted for the first time after four consecutive rejections. It felt such a big accomplishment, knowing that he had finally met the woman's very high standard that only few if none could do. "Did you change the second verse?" asked Sandra while skimming the lyrics."I revised it as you've told me" Sebastian saw her lips quirked upward without looking up at him. "Play it now, I want to hear the changes" she ordered, then leaned on the couch once done reading and closed her eyes.He wasn't able to move right away, as his eyes were fixated on her pretty face. He couldn't deny how beautiful the woman was. Her face was as small as his fist. Her soft features were like of an angle that seems like won't do any sin. And if she smile.. He shook his head to stop his thoughts and started playing the song. They were inside his studio for work and not for him to ogle
Gotta Be You Chapter 15: Flashnews
"Actor Dominic Chua and Crown Entertainment's acting CEO Sandra Mendez were spotted in Myeongdong last night, dating!" "No! Sissy!" Simon quickly exclaimed in protest as he faced the television too near, "That Dominic Chua again?!" he cried as if the picture of Sandra who were flashed on the screen will response to him. "Aist. This idiot," Sebastian groaned and massaged his temple after seeing his brother acting deranged once again. He can't understand why he was like that when it comes to that woman. "Levi! Is this true?! Are they really dating?! It's been a week now, and they're still seen everywhere in Seoul!" Simon demanded. Sebastian looked at Levi as well. The latter, however, just shrugged his shoulder casually and intently watched the news as the screen continued to show photos of Sandra and Dominic having dinner, or simply walking together in their matching hoodies. Some were blurred to the point that it wasn't identifiable. But there were also high quality pictures that c

"Finally!" Dominic exclaimed when he saw Sandra at his front door. "I miss you!" he hugged her then immediately dragged her inside his pad.Sandra just chuckled and shook her head as he guided her to sit in one of the high chairs beside the counter. "What did you cook? I'm starving," she said and watched Dominic maneuvered the kitchen."Chicken of course," he answered without looking at her, "Where have you been? Took you long enough," he added then glanced at her over his shoulder with squinted eyes.Sandra's brows slightly furrowed then sighed. "I misplaced my notebook somewhere. I had to search for it, but I just wasted my time and didn't find it" "Is it important?" She nodded. "Quite important. Good thing I still remember what's written on it." "Hhm. Just rewrite it or type it on your computer. It's safer and less hassle. But knowing you.. you'll probably won't be able to sleep tonight because you love your pens and notebooks" he chuckled. Sandra didn't respond and just laughe
Gotta Be You Chapter 17: Unwelcomed Feelings
Sandra smiled the moment she stopped and stood in front of Sebastian's studio. Staring at the silver plated with 'Phoenix' engraved on it, she chuckled. Thinking if Sebastian didn't really want her to know his identity, he should have not put his pseudonym on the front door, or he should have hid it to where it wouldn't reach her eyes. Maybe he had forgotten about it, and too bad for him though, she's a keen observer she quickly noticed it the moment he closed that damn door on her pretty face. Slowly, she opened the door and saw him sitting alone on his swivel chair. She was welcomed by the blasting unfamiliar song on the speaker. Grinning widely, she entered the room and kissed him on his cheeks."Hi, Sebastian," she greeted and chuckled when the poor guy jolted and straightened on his seat. She really liked seeing him being caught off guard. She thought he was really cute whenever he's astounded, angry and embarrassed. Those red ears were the toppings on the cake."Let's have a l

SPECIAL CHAPTERSebastian narrowed his eyes at the smiling face of Sandra. He couldn't believe her! “He even told me he loves me!” she continued cheerfully, not minding the fact that her husband's already flaming in anger with her story. Who wouldn't anyway? This wife's admirers didn't decrease even after their marriage and have four kids. She's already in her forties, yet men out there of any age continued fantasizing over her! Some even had the audacity to confess just like what she's telling him right at the moment, and it's making him really furious! “Of course I told him I wouldn't replace you with anyone else. Phoenix is the only one in this world,” she giggled. And just like that, like his old self who never fails to melt everytime she says the right words, he smiled widely, showing his gummy and pearly white teeth. Ah, he's still and will always be head over heels for her even after years of being together. “I really want to think about kissing you hard on national televis

Meanwhile, Sandra chuckled as she watched the host looking at her, suddenly confused.“I found my love because of you,” she continued.Everyone, from the audience to the staff squealed at her words. Even the host herself couldn't hide her giddiness despite the confusion still registered on her face. However, someone from the side didn't look pleased and rather seemed pissed off over something no one could figure out why. “How?” the host asked excitedly.Sandra glanced on the side where Sebastian was silently standing. She then giggled at the sight of her husband looking very pissed off.“You interviewed him after my confession”“Oh.. so, you were watching back then?” “I told you,

Shocked, confused, lost were all be seen in everyone's faces after that speech from Sandra Mendez. Their cameras even zoomed in on the piece of paper she was holding, then almost instantly, disbelief and bewilderment were then painted as their expression. “Sebastian Lee?” one queried, puzzled of who it was. Others gasped loudly upon hearing his name and those who were standing near the guy turned their heads on him and gave him an incredulous look. “He's Phoenix right?! His real name is Sebastian Lee!” another shouted. Sebastian felt nervous at the sudden attention he unexpectedly was receiving. His determination to go up on stage had instantly deteriorated when everyone was talking about him with full anticipation.“He's here!” another pointed the direction where Sebastian was.Fortunately, before anyone from the reporters and journalists could move, Sandra immediately caught their attention back on her once again. “I just like to clarify things," she said. She wasn't looking

Sebastian felt like he's got flashed by the bucket of ice cold water on the head right at the moment he heard that utterly familiar voice. His heartbeat skipped its beat as his knees went jelly, making him suddenly kneeled down on the floor weakly. He heard the loud beeping from the other line which meant that the call ended by the other party. However, his hand vibrated right after which caught his attention back and snapped him out from being astonished. Reluctantly, he checked the screen and saw Bammie's name flashed on it. He quickly answered it in case it was Sandra but only to be disappointed when it was her best friend instead. “Come here faster at the Crown building,” she said, sounding in haste. Sebastian was about to ask why, but the call quickly ended, leaving him puzzled and annoyed. He stared at his phone with brows connected together and thought whether to go there or not. But since he was in denial that it was Sandra who apologized to him over the phone, he quickly

News about the royal couple being married broke down and spread out so quickly, right after Jay Kim showed the marriage certificate on national television. Their fans celebrated like there was no tomorrow while some showed their dismay as they did like Phoenix more for their princess. Flashnews about them kept on coming here and there and nonstop articles were posted on the internet because the media were the first to celebrate the great news. Sandra sighed as she looked at Sebastian apologetically for she knew it was already exhausting for her husband to have never ending rumors about her. They were now in Sebastian's apartment, particularly in his room. Since Sandra was the hottest topic, they both decided to not go home to her mansion because they were certain that there's a lot of reporters waiting for her there for an exclusive interview. “Aren't you tired?” she queried as she wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. Sebastian shook his head and kissed his wife's forehead
Gotta Be You Chapter 172: Certain
“Are you married?” Thomas straightforwardly asked in a low baritone voice that gave everyone goosebumps except for Sandra. The old man didn't bother to say any greetings, not even wait for Sandra to ask him why he was suddenly there and just went straight to the point and asked her about the news. 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. They all then turned to Sebastian suspiciously and saw the guy bowing his head looking guilty while fidgeting with his fingers. Sandra hea

And hearing that there was more of it made them instantly panicked and thought of the worst because they all assumed that it came from Thomas Mendez. They all thought that it was indeed a suicide to go against the old man, since the day didn't even pass and they were already facing another problem. “That bad?” Sandra queried as she frowned at her assistant.She then glanced at Sebastian and mindlessly walked to his direction upon seeing the guy looking pale and not with himself. As she sat beside him, she grabbed his hand and entwined it with hers without saying anything as her focus went back to Jamaica.From the side, Jamaica nodded in response which made everyone get curious about the news she brought in. “What's the bad news?” asked Bammie, a little impatient.

Gotta Be You Chapter 170: Bad News
Bammie and Levi's pictures immediately spread out in all social media sites, since it happened in public and everyone who was casually walking in the hallway that time grabbed their phones and captured the moment when the two decided to display their affection there. Minutes later, rumors about their relationship followed, as the reporters who were just in the auditorium nearby immediately got the report about the scene outside and took the opportunity for a juicy scoop. Which immediately stole the spotlight from what happened in the press conference. Meanwhile, Sandra quickly led them to her office upstairs when people started filing around them. And she also quickly called the security to usher the visitors from the auditorium outside because the press conference was already done to avoid them lurking around the building and coming to her office. “So.. care to explain?” she folded her hands while raising her eyebrows on Bammie. Meanwhile, Bammie rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Why
Gotta Be You Chapter 169: Flash
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
