Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Thirty Six

"That's the same man, look at the jacket."

Harold pointed the black jacket. "And the face mask, damn."

"I know." I answered him. I am here in his house, and we're talking about the cctv footage I asked the other week.

"If he's a guy, then who's the girl glaring and calling you?" he asked while looking at me.

I sighed, "I don't know, Ruru." I answered.

This investigation thingy is so exhausting. I have a lot of schedules and works to attend to, and here I am, investigating some kind of fucking pranks or a serious situation.

"Naka-usap ko na si Agent Lorenzo, he's doing his best para ma-track 'yung number na binigay mo."

I nodded my head. "I owe him a lot." I whispered.

I haven't seen Agent Lorenzo since I'm really busy these days.

"Don't worry, okay? We got this." he slowly held my hand, "I got you, Francine." he smiled.

"Thank you, Ruru." I immediately hugged him. "I really love you." I said while hugging him.

"I love you more, Francine. You know that." he hugged me back.

After talking to him, I straightly went to the show's venue because we're told that we need to be early for the rehearsal. Today is the Victoria's Secret show. I am here with my glam team and my personal assistant, Bea.

"Oh, where's your handsome bebe? Akala ko ba pupunta siya dito?" Ate Viera asked me.

"I don't know." I pouted my lips. Magka-away kasi kami. Nag-tampo siya ng malaman niya na may tumatawag sa akin, he said that I'm keeping a secret from him which is true naman that's why hindi na lang ako sumagot sa kanya.

"Ang daming model." Bea whispered while looking at them. Yeah, there's a lot of female model. They are foreigners pa, ako lang ata ang filipino.

Well, I'm the ambassador of Victoria's Secret, I should be proud, you know?

"𝘖𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘩, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦?"

"𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘨𝘶𝘺!"

"𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦."

"𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘰𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬?"

"𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦? 𝘎𝘰𝘥, 𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘴."

Napatingin ako sa pintuan when they started whispering something. I know that commotion, gosh.

"𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦?!"

"𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘯. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦!"

"𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘵."

"Oh, nandiyan na pala ang bebe mo." Bea whispered to me.

I immediately smiled when I saw him walking palapit sa akin. He's wearing a white short sleeve polo, black jeans and black leather jacket, gosh, he's so handsome, that's why I saw their eyes, I heard their whispers, I know they are jealous, oh well. This super tall, super white-skin, and super handsome guy is mine. He's all mine, girls. Back off.

"I thought you're not coming." I said while looking at him. Sinadya ko talagang lapitan siya para naman malaman ng mga models na akin siya.

"You said you need me." he answered. I know that he's a little bit uncomfortable because of their stares, I mean, sanay na siya, but in this situation? Where you can see a lot of sexy bodies because we are all wearing a bikini and a lingerie. God. Huwag lang talaga siya lilingon. Lagot ka sa'kin, Zion Lapaz.
