I can't help but stare back at my face in the mirror. Slowly, I let out a sigh followed by an arrogant smile. Surely, this face is expensive. Hell! Not just plain expensive, but very expensive. I am a star. I am number one.
I break out from my reverie when my personal assistant arrived. She is carrying a couple of dresses that will be used in today's shoot. I tried to shift my demeanor from a bitch into a saint. I am a professional shapeshifter. Kidding! Well, what I'm trying to say is, they didn't know that there's a living bitch inside of me. So, shhhhhh!
"Ma'am? Magbihis na daw po kayo sabi ni Sir Jude. Isasalang na daw po kayo after five minutes po. " tila naiilang na sambit ng P. A. ko sa akin ngunit nginitian ko lang siya ng sobrang tamis.
"Ok Ate Beth. Just leave the dresses sa rack. Ano nga pala ang isusuot ko sa first shoot? " nakangiti pa ring tanong ko sa kanya.
"Yung red daw po. Para po sa lipstick yung uunahin. Imamatch lang daw po sa dress. " nanginginig na ngayon na tugon ng aking P. A. She's really funny. Whenever na kaming dalawa lang magkasama, she acts really strange. Whats the deal with her ba? Am I really scary? Nakakaloka naman 'tong assistant ko. Para pinahabol ko lang siya one time sa doberman ko, maggaganyan na siya.
"Ganun ba? Okay Ate beth I can manage from here. Siyanga pala, umuwi ka muna sa house. Feed Lizzy. I think she's really hungry right now." nakangising baling ko sa kanya. By the way, Lizzy's my doberman. She's a real cutie. And she doesn't want anybody but me to feed her. Poor Beth. Poor hands. That's Lizzy's favorite part. I can't help but laugh to myself, especially upon seeing her paled face.
Hindi ko na hinintay na makasagot siya. Sa halip, iminuwestra ko ng lumabas na siya. I started dressing myself and looked again in the mirror. At the age of 17, I achieved so much in my life as a teen star. But, for me this is not enough. I need to be at the very top. And no one's gonna stop me.
I checked myself one last time and then headed out of the make-up room. Today is a long day and I badly needed some rest.
