Ace Of The Beauty (El Vicente Series #3) COMPLETED

Kabanata 26

"I thought you're going for a dip?" binabulaan ako ni Reign ng mga tanong nang matagpuan akong nagmamadali sa pagpasok.

Binalibag ko ang itim na roba sa sofa. "I changed my mind. Sa bathtub na lang ako."

"Ha?" kumamot siya sa ulo. "But do you still need a glass of whiskey?"

"A bottle will do."

"Gianna Bryn, may shoot ka pa bukas!"

"Fine. A glass!" Umirap ako at padabog na bumalik sa kwarto.

"At paalala, manager mo ako hindi assistant, ha!"

That damn shoot. Inis kong inalis ang bawat saplot na natira sa katawan. I fixed my bath. I need to relax so I poured hot water on it. In days like this, I always want to be alone. Sometimes spending my time in hot bathtub is the best time of my life.

As soon as Reign got me my whiskey, I immediately sucked on it. I really became a heavy drinker when I got abroad. I tried drinks in different country. Minsan tumatakas ako para lang makapag-clubbing. The bests ones are in Germany. Beers are so fine! Of course, I still have to manage my figure that's why I'm a gym person.

Yet again, I frequently drink because of stress. Kahit gustuhin ko man uminom ng marami ngayon ay hindi pwede dahil may trabaho ako.

That darn.. son of a bitch.

Pumikit ako ng mariin. Is he trying to kill me? Can't he give me a peace of mind.. just for once? Kailan ba ako titigilan?

In fact, I didn't do anything to him. I should be the one who gives him nightmares and hunt him down until he dies because of guilt. He lied to me. He gave me words that has lived inside me as a poison that kills me everytime I remember it. He made me trust him perfectly that up until now, it hurts.

It took me hours before I get to bed. Kaya naman hilab ng ulo ang dinanas ko nang magising ako dahil sa alak at kulang sa tulog. I woke up late.

"Yes, of course, we're almost near!" Reign shouted while talking to someone on her phone. Hinila niya ako at tinulak kay Cassandra.

Cassandra pulled me down after I went out to shower. Kanina pa ako pinanlalakihan ng mata ni Reign habang kausap ang staff sa cellphone. Tulala ako sa salamin habang pinapanood si Cass na nagmamadaling i-blower ang buhok ko.

"You know, she really does have a pretty bad temper.." Cassandra sweetly said but she harshly gave me my make up bag na pointed at my face, telling me to do my make up.

Nagmamadali kaming magbilis. I didn't do my make up even if Reign said so. Tatapalan naman ako mamaya ng make-up artist kaya hindi na kailangan. Cass is sometimes my make up artist and also my stylist. Although I think we have the same style sometimes. That's what make us get closer. We both like fun in silly ways.

"Here's the script." the manager handed me a paper. "Nireview na ni Miss Reign 'yan. You don't have a lot of lines so don't worry."

Iba ang ngisi ng advertising manager sa akin. I knew it because I've been through a lot. Even directors and some member of my agency, tried to hit on me.

I nodded. "Thanks."

"Do you want some coffee, Miss Gian?"

"Sorry, I don't drink caffeine." Unless its espresso martini.

"Perhaps, water or juice?"

Matamis akong ngumiti at umiling. "No, thank you."

I focused on the script when he left with a raw smile. Maingat kong binasa ang script. I rehearsed on my mind, too. A part of the advertisement, I have to answer questions, like interviews. It's all about lowkey promoting the company.
