"Ate Sai!" Huminga ako ng malalim dahil sa baritonong boses na iyon. Ilang linggo na mula noong press conference. He always pester me whenever I'm in the company.

But I have to admit that I'm comfortable with him. He didn't flirt with me. He always teased me but when I teased him back, he's getting annoyed. Nalaman ko ring bente anyos lang siya. Mas matanda ako ng limang taon.

He had a cold expression but whenever he was with me or his male assistant, he was too childish. No one would believe me if I leak his childishness.

"Miss mo na naman ang kagandahan ko?" Pang-aasar ko sa kaniya. Umasim ang mukha niya.

"You're dreaming with your eyes open, aren't you?" He rolled his eyes.

"Panaginip ba 'yong mga sinabi mo sa press conference?" Tumawa ako sa reaksyon niya.

"Lasing lang ako no'n." Pagtatanggol niya sa sarili niya. Umiling ako at tinapunan siya ng makahulugang tingin.

"Okay, sabi mo 'e." Humagikhik ako. "Bakit mo na naman ako pinapunta dito, bata?" I changed the topic.

His eyes lit up. Napailing na lang ako sa iniasta niya. I wonder kung kamag-anak ba 'to ng tatay ng anak ko? If he is, could his personality be more childish than JK?

"Ang baboy kasi ng mga lumalabas sa bunganga mo, ate Sai. Muntik ko nang makalimutan ang importanteng sasabihin ko sa 'yo." Binato ko siya ng magazine na walang hirap lang niyang sinalo. He placed it on his table and looked at me.

"Magseseryoso na nga, brutal nito," he muttered. "I recommended you to my brother. He was looking for an actress to advertise his company's latest car model. Do you know how to drive?"

"Hmm, marunong ako. Nag-aral ako sa Siertia magmaneho ng mga sports cars kasi I was a stunt double. Later on, racing had became my hobby."

I answered. His eyes brightened like he had seen a priceless treasure.

"Great! I'll give you an opportunity. You must cherish it because the director is the famous Amsterdam Remoroza!" My expression became odd.

While it is true that he's a famous director, hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat na sobrang pihikan niya pagdating sa mga artistang nag-a-audition. He was known for his harsh and straightforward evaluation.

"I am just a newbie. Although I have a little experiences, they're not enough to qualify for the audition. Tingin mo ba, mapapasali ako kahit gusto kong mag-audition?" Tanong ko at umiling.

He stared at me in disbelief. Tumayo siya at naglakad palapit sa akin. Hinipo niya ang noo ko, tila sinisipat kung may lagnat ako. I slapped his hand away.

Ginagawa nito?

"Magugunaw na ba ang mundo?" I glared at him because of his remark.

"Sinasabi mo?" Sarkastikong tanong ko.

"You're brimming with confidence just a moment ago while boasting your beauty yet now..." he stopped and stared at me like I have nine heads. I couldn't refute at all!

I am indeed confident with my beauty but not with my acting skills. They're both completely unrelated things!

"Anyway, huwag kang mag-alala. Our Starlight Entertainment would be prioritized when it comes to audition. Kung gusto mong sumali, just tell me so I could enlist your name. You don't have to worry about anything else. Do you want to grab this opportunity?"

I nodded with sparkling eyes. After weeks of having no works, there's already an opportunity. Of course I would not let it slip on my grasp.

Kinabukasan, sinabi sa akin ni JK na magkita kami sa location ng audition. He sent the address so I went there wearing a black racing outfit that I haven't worn in a while. I tied my hair into a messy bun before applying some liptint to cover my slightly pale lips.
