Why was that woman here? Was he even invited?Uh, no. It's impossible for Harold to invite that girl, he knows I really hate Stacy. No way! Harold could never forget what Stacy did to me back when we were an OJT at Eli's resort."Is everything okay?" Israel greeted Jenny and me.My attention wasn't on him, if it wasn't for Stacy who smiled at me, it was like the sun wouldn't reach her tomorrow."Yes, sir. Only the bride is waiting before the ceremony officially begins," Jenny answered."Alright, we're going inside." They went inside first, finally my nightmare ended there.I'm still clueless how Israel met that girl. I was not irritated by his smile, but by the way he squeezed Israel's arm. What the hell is that? Are they dating?"I think that girl is Sir Israel's girlfriend," I heard Jenny say, "because I remember, he mentioned to us that he was dating a girl. I think it was three years ago... so, maybe she's the one he refers to as his longtime girlfriend.""Oh, okay."I have nothin
"H-How did you-""It doesn't matter how I found out, Irene." Papa still has a bad way of looking at me. "Could you please answer my question? Why did you buy your Aunt Gretchen's salon? You have no any backgrounds of running a salon... so why?"With him, interrogating me like that makes me feel so frustrated. I want to answer Papa but if I do that, I will end up being swayed by my emotions... I might not be able to put a filter on my mouth which might lead my words disrespecting him."She must be grateful to me that I do that, yet," I pointed out. "Because I bought her salon, she paid off the debt. She actually gained benefits because I purchased her salon. What's wrong with that?""But you know that's important to your Aunt Gretchen, right? You can just lend her money. What's the use of purchasing it? Can you use it-""Okay, fine!" I couldn't handle my anger anymore, so I raised my tone at my father. "I only want her to suffer. I want to make her life miserable, just how my life was
"Corrine, are you okay?"I blinked my eyes twice, at the same time I unconsciously grabbed both of my cheeks due to their excessive heat.When I heard Israel started talking, that's when I came back to my vision. His eyes are curious as a cat, looking damn curious as to why I'm staring at him as hell...OMG! All I thought was that Israel cut short my sentence because of a fucking kiss—but ends up that scene only made by my crazy imagination."O-Of course, I'm okay!" I spluttered and bit my lips. Looking down, I saw his hands on my left arm... and blushed.I'm so busy dealing with that crazy thought that I was informed just now that he's touching me. I immediately moved away from Israel. I didn't even say goodbye to the two of them, I just left that place immediately with shame.What the hell was that?! First, I imagined myself kissing him... and then second, I saw myself blushing? Is he starting to sway me... again? Am I starting to fall for him... for the second time around?Because
"Of course, I'm very excited for the upcoming concert. Eli surprised me when he said that I would also perform at his concert. I'm not expecting it, though. I fully thought that I'll just sit and watch him.""You've attended my concerts for three consecutive times being my audience. What's wrong if I change the setup this time?" Eli talked so defensively towards me, I couldn't help but laugh at the way he looked now that he disapproved so much of what I said."Hey, I'm just explaining my reaction, okay? Why are you like that?" I pushed his shoulder using mine to some degree while laughing.He's a living joke. I really laughed at him, eh."This is the only thing I'm sure I can share with you..." After I poked fun at him, he then shifted the topic, reading another viewer's comment on our live stream. "You have a lot to look forward to at my concert. There are new faces that you will see perform, besides Corrine. That's why I'm calling out to those fans who are not yet buying their own t
"Death threat? Do you know who it's from?" sputtered Dylan, now stopping himself from drinking root beer.Everyone in the cottage just reacted as a bombshell, still unbelievable that there are still people doing that kind of thing. In the showbiz industry, it is not new for actors to receive death threats. Just like Eli, receiving one from the unknown, but this is quite alarming."We are investigating who it may have come from." Eli looked so frustrated as he brushed his hair upright. "For my safety, I need to cancel my concert that was about to happen 2 days from now." He heaved a sigh."Everything will be fine, Eli. "Why don't you continue with your concert, disregarding the fact that you received a death threat... your life will be in danger," Julia muttered. "You will have to catch that person first before continuing your offline concert, I'm sure your fans will understand the situation.""Once I announced the cancellation of the concert in public, it's scary that some fans might
"I know how to cook, Harris! Let me cook, okay? I promise, I will not disappoint you!""Don't you have confidence in Magi and I's abilities? We admit that our talent is not for the kitchen, but just this time, give it to us. I promise, you will faint from the taste of what we will cook!" Julia persuaded the two to let them cook the dishes."It's Harris's chicken curry specialty, let us make that. Magi and I will enjoy it better, see.""Thank you, you two get out of here! I don't have diatabs in my pocket to fight diarrhea and stomach ache!""You're underestimating our cooking talent, Harris! You're hurting my feelings, you're terrible!" Magi persisted"Just join Alec and Warren in the living room and watch TV. Wait for us to finish cooking, when we can eat together," said Yuwi.He was busy mixing fried rice in the pan, shaking the pan like professional chefs do."You bastards!" Julia grumbled and the two of you went to the living room.'Julia complains a lot... like a child throwing t
While I was helping Yuwi wash the food, I could hear the noise coming from the living room from the kitchen. They were all there, busy playing.I could even see from here that Alec, Magi and Warren were playing video games. And the others are on the floor, playing cards. I would really like to join in. Apart from the fact that Yuwi and I haven't finished playing here yet, I also don't know anything about what they are playing.I have no idea how to play any kind of video games, as well as playing different types of cards, or anything.It was just me... childhood was so boring. Maybe another factor why I say my childhood was boring is because I didn't have a brother. I didn't play so I grew up not knowing any games."I'll take care of wiping it. Join them there," I ordered Yuwi while I was busy wiping the plates with a dry and clean rag."It's embarrassing for you. You're an artist and I'll just let you do the housework."I giggled. "Being an artist is not an excuse for me not to cook,
"I'm very, very sorry for all the fans that I will disappoint with this urgent update. My agency has decided to cancel my upcoming concert that will happen exactly on Christmas day. Just the day after yesterday, while I was on a one -day vacation, my manager received a present that we both didn't know where it came from... and with a bang, it's a death threat from a mysterious person. Further investigation is happening right now, and for my safety also, the concert should be canceled for now.""My greatest apology to those fans who are expecting to see me on Christmas."Eli's face shows sadness as I watch him on TV. He's in the middle of a press conference to announce the most heartbreaking news on National TV today... the cancellation of his concert.Just before we left La Union yesterday morning, he was restless because he was so afraid and nervous about what he was going to announce today. That's why the sadness traces on his face doesn't give me any single concern, 'cause I alread
