ATM 2:A True Madness (FBS#1)

This chapter is dedicated to MyEngineer . Thanks for reading :)

Starmodel, Louise Martinez, spotted hugging a guy in a reception area of a businessman's hotel in New York.

I almost sink on my seat habang patuloy sa panonood si Angelo ng balita dito sa maliit na sala ng kanyang hotel. Gusto kong sabihin sa kanya na patayin niya na yung tv but he looks mad while his eyes were fixed on the television.

This is the first time she was spotted with another guy other than her rumored boyfriend slash manager, Yuan Ross.

Darn!

Is this what's keeping Louise Martinez busy? She has been said declining all her big, upcoming projects from big companies since the summer catwalk of Monique line, where she's the starmodel, held.

May mga nag-flash pang pictures sa screen kung saan ipinapakita ang labas ng hotel na ito kung saan napakaraming reporters na nag-aabang.

Kakatapos lang ng balitang iyon ay agad nag-ring ang cellphone ko. Magpapasalamat na sana ako dahil makakatakas ako kay Angelo pero ng makita ko ang pangalan ni Yuan sa screen, mas lalo lang akong kinabahan.

I bit my nails while staring at my phone. Parang ayaw kong sagutin. But I can't do that to him.

I tap the answer button after I excused myself to Angelo na nanatiling tahimik. Ni hindi niya ako tiningnan.

Dahan-dahan kong inilagay sa aking tainga ang aking cellphone while biting my lower lip.

"What have you done, Louise Martinez?!" Yuan's voice boomed from the other line. Napapikit na lamang ako ng mariin.

I sighed."I'm sorry, okay?" Sa dami ng binubuo kong explanation sa aking utak ay ayun lamang ang lumabas sa bibig ko.

Narinig ko siyang bumuntong hininga. Siguro na-realize niya din na hindi makakatulong ang pagsigaw.

"What came into your mind to hug a guy in public?" Medyo mas mahinahon na ang boses niya but it sound so frustrated."It's not even your husband, for God's sake! Matatanggap ko pa kung si Angelo 'yon, Louise! God! How would we introduce your husband and your son to all the people now?! It's still our problem, if you haven't remember!"

He's mad!

"That's my friend from Philippines, Yu..." I tried to explained. No. I need to explain. He's my manager at kailangan lahat ng detalye ay alam niya.

"Dapat nag-iingat ka. Napaka-init mo pa sa mata ng mga tao." Tuluyan ng huminahon ang kanyang boses.

"I know... And I'm really sorry."

"We'll talk about it once we saw each other. But, please. Stay on your husband at 'wag na 'wag kang lalabas. That's for your safety."

That's Yuan. At the end of all our arguments, he's still into my safety and good.

"Thank you... And, I'm really sorry."sabi ko.

Hindi na siya nagsalita pagtapos non at alam kong hinihintay niya na lang na ibaba ko ang tawag. I sighed before ending the call. He's still mad.

Bumalik ako sa sala at parang hindi man lang gumalaw si Angelo sa kanyang pwesto. Is he mad, too? Why would he? Dahil ba hindi na naman matutuloy ang gala naming tatlo nila Ico na na-postponed din kanina sa pagdating ni Cliff? O dahil may kayakapan akong lalaki? Cliff is a friend and he knows that.

" I'm sorry sa abala..."I started, staring at his blank face. He didn't replied nor spare me a glance.

I sighed. "Magche-check in na lang ako sa katabing hotel para hindi na kita maabala. Hindi pa kasi ako pwedeng lumabas-"
