Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Fifty Three

"And... cut!"

Finally, our taping for today is done. I can finally visit my personal assistant.

"Squad! Ano? Saan tayo?" Pen immediately asked us nang matapos na ang taping. We're already here in the hotel, naka-balik na kami galing sa taping.

"Ah, I'm going somewhere." I quickly updated them. "I'll visit my personal assistant."

"Si Bea ba?" Pen asked me.

I nodded my head.

"You're going alone? Who's with you?" Lexi asked me.

I almost rolled my eyes when I saw Hester walking out. He's really irritating me nowadays. Is that my handsome boyfriend? Zion Lapaz? Oh, really?

"I'm with someone." I answered, "Sorry, guys. I need to go now. I'll see you later." paalam ko sa kanila bago lumabas ng building.

Agent Lorenzo sent me a protective agent, he's coming today that's why I decided na siya na lang ang isama sa lakad ko.

I was about to get my phone to message him but then my eyes widened when I saw Agent Lorenzo exiting a car.

What the heck? What is he doing here?

"Francine." he immediately smiled when he saw me standing here with my widened eyes.

"Agent Lorenzo? What are you doing here?" I asked surprisingly habang nag-lalakad palapit sa kanya.

"I thought you're sending me a protective agent?" I said while hugging him.

"Well, yeah. Here he is." he smiled at me, "Nobody is available right now, so please bear with me."

I softly laughed, "Sure." I answered. "I'm actually going out today, can you come with me?" I asked.

He nodded his head right away, "My job, as you may be aware, is to follow you around. I hope you are aware of this." he said in his serious voice.

Oh, come on. "Stop being formal." I replied, "I thought we're friends now?" I smiled.

"We are, but I'm actually on my duty at the moment, so." he showed the way, "Where are we going, Miss Francine?" he teased me.

I rolled my eyes, "Talisay." I answered habang sumasakay sa sasakyan niya. How come may sasakyan siya dito?

"Is this yours?" I asked him when I got seated on the passenger seat.

"Yes, may bahay kami dito." he simply answered while starting his car.

Oh, wow. May bahay pala sila sa Cebu. God. I almost forgot, Madison is his fucking baby sister. Argh. Bakit magka-iba sila ng ugali? Seriously?

"By the way, just so you know, I actually hate your sister." I said while putting on my sunglasses. I'll wear my facemask and bucket hat later.

"Why?" he curiously asked while driving.

I rolled my eyes, "He likes my boyfriend, don't you know?" tumingin ako sa kanya.

"I actually know." he answered, "Is she acting in any way that irritates you?"

"Oh, you have no idea." I sighed, "She said she would do anything to steal my boyfriend, and she kissed him before."

"Damn." Agent Lorenzo laughed, "She's really a bitch, well, I know that."

Wow. That surprised me, "You knew?"

"Of course, she's my sister, Francine."

I rolled my eyes again, "Yeah, she is your sister, so please? Is there anything you can do to prevent her from taking my boyfriend? I mean, come on, I'm his girlfriend."
