Unmasking Her Deceptions

"OKAY, Zirena. That was your task for today." He handed me an invitation.

I nodded, sumulyap akong muli sa litrato na nasa kamay ko at nagsalita.

"Alright, Sir. Can I ask a question?"

"Yes, okay, what is it?" Nagdekwatro siya sa harapan ko at sinulyapan ako.

"This man..." I trailed off. "Why do we need to find a scope about him?"

"Simple," aniya. "Wave is one of the most sought and controversial models today but... he won't allow any reporters to have a glimpse of his life."

"Maybe he wants privacy?" I asked, my brow shooting up.

"In show business, Zire, hindi uso ang privacy..." Mapanuya siyang tumawa. "And that man is mysterious, tahimik pero malupit. Don't you know every billboard, television, or even magazine had his face? He's a big-time! His mysteriousness added to his fame? Damn, if we found out what he hides beneath that mask? We'd top every column in the country!"

"Alright." I nodded and brushed my hair. "Where do I start? Ano bang klaseng scoop ang kailangan mo?"

"Something new, not just anything. Kailangang tayo ang unang makakuha ng unang interview sa lalaking 'yan and you... will be a key." He smiled.

It pressured me, of course. I want to get promoted but I still have doubts.

"I don't know if I can do this." Kinagat ko ang labi at sumulyap sa hawak kong litrato.

"Then, you decide, gusto mo bang ma-promote? Aren't you tired of writing articles on websites? You want to publish your articles in high-class magazines, right?" Tumaas ang kilay niya.

"Of course!" I nodded. "But..."

"You don't have any choice, Zire, it's either you take it or...leave it. Maraming may gustong gumawa ng article tungkol kay Wave yet, sa 'yo ko ibinigay..."

I nodded, suddenly panicking. I couldn't miss this opportunity!

"Okay, I'll do it..." I sighed. "I will do my best, hahanap tayo ng issue or scoop sa taong 'to, we'll publish it on public then, we're good."

"Right." Tumawa siya. "You do your best Zire, you have two choices, it's either you'll let him have an interview with us which I doubt he'll do, or find whatever it was he was hiding from the public. We wanted a fresh scoop, we wanted something new. If there wasn't, then we'll make an issue. That's how show business is now, Zire."

I nodded, thinking I could do this. I have to!

"I will," I agreed.

"Great!" Ngumisi siya. "Now, you have the plane ticket to Casa Amara going to the Lost Island, is that fine with you?"

"Yep." I smiled and nodded. "Will do my best, Sir Remi,"

"Goodluck, Zire, hope we'll have a big news soon, hmm?" Tumawa siya.

I straightened my back with renewed motivation.

"Yes, we're gonna make that Wave talk, I'll do everything, Sir." Ngisi ko bago lumabas sa kanyang opisina.

When I got home, kaagad kong binasa ang nakasulat sa envelope na ibinigay niya sa akin at kaagad na nagkainteres nang makita ang mga impormasyon roon.

Name: Wave Aeden Miranda Nievarez
