When the car stopped, the chauffeur opened the door for us. The moment I step my feet on the floor in front of the Averion Company, the press immediately directed to us.
A warm hand embraced my waist. "Let's go inside." Axis said without minding those people who are trying their best to ask him and some are already taking photos of us.
Behind us, there were more about ten men who's following us. They were dressed up with black tuxedos and I didn't even realize that Angeli was now behind me.
People were scattered everywhere. When we finally got inside, I didn't know that the number of people would be doubled.
We turned on the left wing of the building where the company hall is located which almost covers the entire floor here below. I guess this hall was really designed for big events or gatherings like this. The place is almost perfect. The designs are too extravagant.
Axis, who was the starring of today's event almost took all the attention of th
I went inside a cubicle and there, I calmed myself and my heart that has been beating like crazy. I stayed there for more than five minutes before I thought of going out. And when my heart calmed, my mind was indignant when I saw who was in front of the mirror right now.It was Kelly, busy applying a red lipstick on her lips.I hate her presence. That's a fact. But I'm not the type of person to create a scandal just because I don't like her so I acted normal. And when I looked at myself for the last time before deciding to go outside, she spoke."Enjoying the party?" She questioned."Excuse me?" I asked because we were the only two here in the washroom but she shut herself. I even saw her smiling devilishly in front of the mirror.Such a waste of time, I mumbled to myself. I was going to go out but she spoke again."I don't understand Axis," I shouldn't waste my precious time on her, but hearing Axis' name, my feet suddenly stop. I turned ar
Another day came and the news—the interview when Axis told I'm his wife, spread everywhere like wildfire. Of course, I am expecting it from the very beginning. How much more now that those words came from Axis himself.But for me, that's better. At least now the press will stop seeking us information, but the netizens don't want to stop at all. They were actually celebrating. And the way I scroll some articles on my account, people were bombarding us with different comments.Speaking of my account, I don't have any idea who hacked it. Uncle Fordee volunteered to fix it but we still have no idea how that is. The account I'm using right now is my second account.I'm just curious about, though. Who hacked it? Why they did it? I don't know. I don't have any idea. Or maybe it's just a trend to hack an account because I've heard many issues about it a few times already and it just so happened that they hacked my account.But why did they even hack Axis'
"What can I do for you, Mr. McGregor?" My throat suddenly became dry. I didn't expect this one coming.If you were in my situation, how would you feel if your idol was here in front of you now? Now I can see myself to those die hard fans who don’t know what to do when facing their idol. For Pete's sake, I am his fan!"I like you, hija. You have this fashion aura that I'm looking," he answered straight forwardly. "I apologized for doing this but I did dig some information about you and I learned that you are also an actress in the Philippines," he explained and I nodded.He straightened up and crossed his legs. "I know you will be busier when you come back to your country but think what I am offering you." Mr. McGregor smiled at me which made me think what offer could that be.I looked at Mami Fin. Like me, a big question could also be read on her face, but in the end we smiled."What do you mean, Mr. McGregor?" I asked. He seemed so serious.
Just when you thought everything will be fine, a sudden situation will rise up. It's either to make everything's all right or just to ruin everything.Life is full of surprises, full of unending twists and full of unexpected problems that will always arise. It is up to us on how to handle those things or to just let things go all the way. Accept it or not, that's the cycle of life.A snapped in front of me help me get back into reality."Spacing out? You're thinking too much," Aishi stated."Not really," I answered and Aishi never spoke again.In just a spun of time, there are really many events that you don’t expect. At some point, those unexpected situation will bring you good news, but you cannot deny the fact that sometimes, you receive bad news.While heading back to the condominium, I gradually slowed down the car because of the scenario my eyes caught. I don't need to blink my eyes because what I'm seeing right now is as clear as water.
Axis' office is on the top floor so I was left alone in the elevator when the employees got off."Angeli!" I called her name when I came out."Ma'am! It's good to have you here again.""Yeah," I agreed. "I brought you foods." It was only then that she noticed the large paper bags I was holding so she immediately took them from me and laid them on the table."You shouldn't have bothered anymore Ma'am, but thank you.""Don't mention it. I honestly wanted to cook for Axis and I remembered you so I wrapped you up too," I told her. I like Angeli. I actually considered her like my younger sister."Here. Just eat it when you are hungry," I handed her a paper bag and left the other one that I would be giving to Axis.Angeli wanted to help me carry it but I stopped her. I came here to personally give the food to Axis and I also don't want to disturb her in her work.Since I know where exactly Axis' office is, I went straight there. I was
When I got to the Averion Company, I immediately headed to the elevator. When it stopped at the fifth floor, an employee entered and soon I realized that it was Angeli."Hey, Angeli," I greeted her with a smile."Hello, Ma'am. I didn't know it's you. Why are you here? Are you going to visit Sir Axis again?" she teased."Yeah, I came here for him. Is he in his office?" I asked."He came down earlier Ma'am. I heard from the other employees that he went to the lunchroom."I fell silent for a bit. "Lunchroom?""Ah, it's in the third floor, Ma'am."Third floor? I just nodded. When the elevator reached the top floor, I didn't bother to get out. I pressed the third floor instead and I just waved at Angeli.Now going down to the third floor, I can't help but ask many questions in my mind. What is he doing there? As far as I know, he never used to eat there. He prefers to eat alone inside his office. How come that he came in the lunchroom
Since the day Axis and I had a not so good conversation, we haven't talked again. I am not mad at him—okay fine, part of me was mad, but what can I do? What should not have happened has already happened, and I had nothing to do with it anymore because it's already done.Since that day, I didn't bother him anymore. I guess that would be better so he could focus first in his company. Maybe we can talk when we're both okay. It only gets worse if we talk when our minds are not on the right state."Suffering from first lover's quarrel?" I glared at Aishi because she's not helping at all. "What? I am just stating my observation," she ridiculously stated."Then stop observing!" I roared. She's supposed to comfort me but she's actually making fun of me. Geez. She's really crazy!Good thing she has cleared my schedule. At least she did something sensible today. It's just that I don't want to commit myself from any work right now because I am pretty sure, my performanc
With every move I make, I seemed to overthink a lot. It makes me crazy. It's scary. Whenever I walk alone, I feel like there's someone who's following me.When I came out of the mall, I went to the highway to wait for a taxi but my chest was filled with fear because I felt like someone was watching my movements.I quickly called Aishi because I'm feeling scared too much right now knowing that it's already getting late. Now I'm regretting why I came alone here."Aishi, I feel like someone's following me," I stammered while saying thay to her. I looked around but everything was normal.[You stay in a crowded place. I'll go there right away.]After saying her where I was, Aishi immediately dropped the call. I tried to look for a crowded spot but I failed. I already exceeded the mall. I can only see cars.Aishi, please hurry.When I turned around, my eyes widened when I saw the shadow of a man hiding not far from me.My two feet move
