"You don't need to answer them, Dariantha."

I looked at who pulled me out of the crowd. It was Ackley, my half-brother.

"How did you know that we're here? At saka, okay lang naman if I will answer them," I told him, remembering what I read. 

"Direk Davis, sinabing hindi raw tinanggap nila Dariantha Fernsby ang kanyang project dahil umano may narinig siyang sinabi ng nasabing director na mariing itinanggi naman ng director."

That was what I read. Also shocking, right? May naglabas lang naman ng another issue about sa akin. Well, kung sasagutin ko ang reporter, I might say something bad about the director kaya mabuti na rin na hinila na ako ni Ackley. 

Ha! Such a liar director! 

"Your phone's location, Dariantha. I also went sa place kung saan kayo nag-shooting pero wala na kayo, so here am I," he smiled, then ginulo na naman niya ang buhok ko. "Don't worry about Direk Davis, ako na ang kakausap sa kanya about that issue. Pero can I ask something?"

I nodded. "Go ahead, Ackley."

"If it isn't because of what he said about your manager, will you accept his project?" He already knew what Direk Davis said kasi nasabi ko na sa kanya one time when we had a conversation. 

"Maybe, maybe not, I don't know," I shrugged my shoulders. Hindi rin naman talaga ako sure. I would accept it if Kaid accepted it. Besides, we're a love team. 

"But what if he offered it to me, then I accepted it? I will be the leading man pero gusto kong ikaw ang maging leading woman ko. Is that alright for you? Besides, teen fiction lang naman ang genre ng project na 'yun ni Direk Davis."

My eyes widened. "You accepted it, really?!Congrats!" I exclaimed. It was really a big project kaya kung tinanggap nga niya talaga, he really deserves a congratulations. 

"Hindi pa. But I will if you will agree to be my leading woman."

I looked at him with a questioning look. "Huh? But I have a current project as of now, Ackley. May project kami nina Dalton at Lynn na mystery/thriller movie, 'di ba?" 

He pouted. "Please?"

"Why don't you just get a woman para naman kasi may ka-love team ka na? Lonely man ka tuloy from the beginning pa lang ng acting career mo. Gwapo ka pa naman," I chuckled and so as he.

"It's fine for me to have a love team if you will be my partner. Also, mabilis lang naman ang project na ginagawa niyo ngayon. We won't start yet, and we will wait for you. So, please?" Nag-puppy eyes pa siya that made me laughed more. 

"Fine, but I will talk to my manager first. Nakakahiya naman kasi I didn't accept it sa unang beses. Then, there is an issue about me not accepting Direk Davis' project. At hindi na ako magtataka if I would be scowled by him," I told him.

"I told you, ako na ang bahala kay Direk. I just needed you to accept it, and we can be partners for that project now." Ginulo na naman niya 'yung buhok ko, but now, I tried to stop him, pero he didn't stop at nagulo pa rin niya. "It's a deal now, ha? Don't try to left me just to have a date with Kaiden."

"Of course, I won't. I will have another issue if I will do that, right? Pagod na rin naman akong magawan ng issue."

We both laughed again. "Don't you want to go home now? Hapon na rin, baka hinahanap ka na ni Tita Delayza sa bahay niyo." We bid farewell to each other before we parted ways. Pumunta na siya sa sasakyan niya while I was approached by my manager.

"The reporters aren't there anymore. You can go back there now." And so we did. Wala na roon si Dalton and Lynn when we came back because they went to our director now, pinapatawag daw kasi. Well, good thing he didn't call for me.
