Ms. Artista (Book 2)

One

It's been 3 years since I become his fan.

It's been 3 years since I become his personal assistant.

And now, it's been 2 years since I become a celebrity.

How ironic right?

I was 16 years old when I started to dream about Zion Lapaz. I was 19 years old when I started to love his existence. But dejectedly, I started to hate him. I want to forget him. I don't want to remember him and lastly,

I don't want to see him.

"Miss Francine, do you want to eat first po muna bago pumunta sa office ni Ma'am Loli?"

I shake my head, "No, let's get straight ahead."

"Noted." she answered.

Lumingon ako sa bintana ng sasakyan at tinitigan ang mga paligid na dinadaanan namin. Ugh. How I missed this place.

"Miss Francine, your phone's ringing." I was suspended from reminiscing something when my personal assistant called me.

Ah. Missing me so damn much, Ma?

I pressed the answer button. "Hi, Ma." I greeted.

[Francine! Nandito ka na ba sa Pilipinas?]

I smiled when I heard her voice, "Opo."

[Sa wakas! Makikita na din kita, anak.]

I laughed, "Makikita na din kita, Ma." I answered.

Well, I guess I really missed her so much. I was alone in America when I started to face my training.

[Dideretso ka na ba agad dito?]

"Not yet, Ma. I have to visit someone pa."

[Okay. Basta bilisan mo, ha? Pinagluto pa naman kita ng paburito mong adobo.]

Oh, goodness.

"Now I'm hungry." I answered. I missed her adobo so much!

[Alam ko anak, na-miss mo talaga ang mga lutong pinoy, kaya pumunta ka na agad dito, ha?]

"Opo." I smiled, "See you later, Ma." I said before I ended the call.

Saktong pagbaba ko ng cellphone ko, our van stopped. Traffic lights. Tumingin ako sa bintana ng sasakyan and when I did that, something caught my attention.

His wide billboard.

It's been 3 years, but still, you're the superstar here.

You're still so damn handsome. Your beautiful face even look gorgeous now. He aged like a fine wine. It's so fucking unfair.

"Si Zion Lapaz." I heard Bea, my personal assistant, whispered. "Crush ko 'yan, Miss Francine." she said habang kinikilig.

I display a sarcastic smile, "Really." I said before shifting my head, facing the front of the car.

He's yes, handsome, but also a cheater.

Does anyone know that?

"Nandito na po tayo." Bea said when we reached the place. I'm finally here, in my entertainment. Since I'm a celebrity now, I also have an entertainment that guides me. The Paschal Entertainment.

"Welcome to the Paschal Entertainment, Miss Francine Perez!"

When I entered the building, I was surprised when they greeted me with their high spirit energy.

Napangiti ako, "Thank you." I said while getting the bouquet of flowers.

They are so sweet! That's why I love this entertainment so much. They really care for me.
