Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Forty One

"If you're together, then announced it to the world. I don't mind."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. What's the big deal?" she smiled. "You and Zion are in a love team, ZiCine right? Fans will love the news, Francine. Trust me."

"I hope, Loli." I answered. I'm in her office, and we're having a meeting. The variety show taping is now done and it's still not on television, maybe next month pa ipapalabas 'yon.

"For sure, babe." she winked at me. "So? Are you in? For the music video? With 'Camille'?"

She even quoted the word Camile, seriously.

We are really sisters in heart, we're both irritated sa Camile na 'yan, pati na din sa manager niya. She's clearly a user, damn it. Sana pala hindi na ako pumayag na makipag-collaborate sa kanya. She's just using my fame.

"Can I say no?" I rolled my eyes.

She also rolled her eyes, "Unfortunately, no."

"Argh." I rolled my eyes. I'm done recording her song, ano pa ba kailangan niya? Bakit may music video pa? God.

"I'm leaving." paalam ko sa kanya.

"It's your rest day." she furrowed her eyebrows. "You're dating Zion Lapaz, huh?" she smirked.

"No." I answered, "He's busy taping." I pointed out. He's taping right now for our teleserye.

"I'm meeting my cousin, bye!" I said bago lumabas ng office niya.

Pag-dating ko sa car ko, Bea sent me a message. She said na kailangan niya daw bumalik sa province nila dahil may emergency na naman daw sa family niya. God. I'm really worried about her, I hope she's okay.

"Kuya Omar, to Harold's house, please." I said to my driver.

I am meeting him today, and we're gonna talk about that mysterious bitch. I'm also seeing Agent Lorenzo, after months, at last, I can finally meet him.

"Nandito na tayo, madame."

"Thank you, Kuya Omar." I said bago bumaba sa car ko. Pag-pasok ko sa loob ng bahay ni Harold, I immediately saw him talking to someone.

A guy who's wearing a black shirt and a brown trousers.

"Francine, you're finally here." Harold immediately hugged me.

"Agent Lorenzo, meet my gorgeous cousin, Francine." Harold introduced me to him.

When he finally looked at me, I am kinda surprised because I didn't know that he's this handsome.

"Miss Francine, at last." he smiled at me. I saw that he had an expression when he saw me. He's like surprised, too.

"Hello, Agent Lorenzo. Nice to meet you." I said while smiling. I offered my hand for a hand shake.

"Nice to meet you, too." he accepted my hand.

"Okay, let's seat?" Harold asked us. We both nodded our head bago umupo sa sofa.

"So, I'm gonna ask you right away, Agent Lorenzo, how's the investigation?" I asked him right away. I'm not here to chitchat, I'm here to know the progress.

"Honestly." umayos siya ng upo, "We have a progress, but unfortunately we can't do anything about it."

What? "What do you mean?" my eyebrows furrowed.

"You said that she sent a guy to stalk you, right?"

I nodded my head.

"Sinabi mo din na she's sending you a message, and she's calling you."
