Caught In The Trap

Prologue

Flashes from different cameras welcomed me as I went out of my car. Five of my bodyguards were around me in case of sudden aggressiveness of the reporters.

I just keep smiling at them to show my so called kindness.

As soon as we entered the building of my new condominium. I sighed in relief.

Pagod ako dahil sa flight galing New York tapos dumagdag pa yung mga media na walang ginawa kung di magtanong ng magtanong.

I'm tired of pretending. Well I'm not really kind and I'm also not cruel. I'm just doing this because of my reputation.

We went inside the elevator and one of my bodyguard pressed the 20th floor.

Imimeet ko ang manager ko na nasa unit ko na. Once we reached the designated floor, I immediately went out and proceed to my unit. My bodyguards were just behind my back at nakasunod.

As I got in front of my unit I type my passcode and went inside. I was welcomed with relaxing ambiance. I roamed around to familiarize myself and saw my manager sitting comfortably at my black couch.

I turned to her and gave her a smug look. She just laugh at my expression. I'm used to her being annoying. Tuwang tuwa yan kapag nakikita akong naiinis.

"Bakit ganiyan ang itsura mo? Ayaw mo ba sa mga bodyguard mo?" pagtatanong nito habang umiinom.

"No, It's not that. I'm just tired tapos nakita ko pa yang mukha mo." sabi ko at umirap.

She was suppressing her laugh which made her face more irritating. Muntik niya pang ibuga yung iniinom niya.

"Hoy babae baka nakakalimutan mong manager mo pa rin ako. Ano ba kasing problema at para kang pinagbagsakan ng langit at lupa."

"Ikaw kasi bakit may media sa baba eh alam mo namang ayoko sa mga iyon." I rolled my eyes at her when she just laugh at me again.

"Eh bakit hindi mo inirapan? Isa pa hindi ko naman mapapaalis yung mga yon." she said while chuckling. "Tsaka kasalanan mo yan, may pagdaan ka pa sa harap eh."

"Wow thanks sa pagsisi." sarkastiko kong sabi.

"Hindi mo Ariana mapipigilan yan dahil sikat kana. Get used to it." seryoso niyang pangaral. Tumango tango nalang ako sa sinabi kahit wala naman talaga akong pakialam. 

"By the way may photoshoot ka nga pala bukas para sa isang magazine." she informed me while typing something on her iPad.

"Iyan lang ba ang schedule ko bukas?"

"Yeah. Tapos ngayong araw wala ka ring sched kaya makakapagpahinga ka." I just nodded at her and shoo her para makapagpahinga nako. Dapat lang naman talaga na wala dahil kakauwi ko lang. I'm not a robot no, I deserve rest.
