Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Eleven

Am I really unlucky with cars?

Why is this happening to me?

"Kuya Omar, sure ba kayo na okay pa 'to kanina?" Bea asked him. She's talking about the wheels of my car. The fucking wheels again. Bakit ba lagi na lang 'tong nangyayari sa akin?

Is someone actually sabotaging me?

"Oo, Bea. Dinouble check ko pa nga, eh." Kuya Omar answered her. "Hay nako, madame. Bibili ba muna ako ng gulong?" he asked me.

I nodded my head. "I'll just ride a taxi, Bea's with me naman." I said. May meeting pa kasi ako with Loli, I can't be late dahil after that may commercial shooting pa ako.

"Sige, madame. I-text ko na lang po kayo kapag okay na ang sasakyan."

"Okay, Kuya Omar. Thank you." I said.

After Kuya Omar leave, Bea immediately found a taxi for us. I did wear my sunglasses and bull cup para hindi ako makilala ng mga tao.

"Paschal Entertainment po, kuya." Bea said to the driver. While we were on our way there, I just checked my social media accounts. I'm just scrolling on my Instagram feed, and I immediately stopped when I saw a photo of someone.

"What the f—" I immediately covered my mouth when I've realized that we are in a taxi.

Damn, Zion Lapaz! You're really getting into my nerves! What the hell is this post?

It's him on the awarding show, he's holding his trophies, I thought it was fine at first, but when I noticed someone's back on the side of his picture—damn, that's me! That's definitely me!

Gosh! Can't he just crop that?!

"Madame, okay ka lang?" Bea asked me when she noticed my facial expression.

"Yeah." I tried to say. Because my mood is already gone, I just turned off the screen of my phone and just looked at the window.

"Nandito na tayo, madame."

Finally, at Paschal Entertainment.

Pag-pasok ko pa lang sa building, the employees immediately greeted me. I also greeted them while smiling, and after that, sumakay na ako sa elevator para pumunta sa office ni Loli.

"Hey there, missy." I greeted pag-pasok ko ng office niya.

"Hey, my gorgeous girl!" she immediately threw herself to me. "Hey, Bea." she also greeted my personal assistant.

"Hi po!" she's so energetic. Hope all.

"Come here, have a seat." pina-upo agad ako ni Loli. "Gosh! I'm so excited!" she suddenly said.

"Why?" I asked confusingly.

"Well," she smiled mischievously, "Since you have already chose the teleserye 'Can We Have Another Chance', the filmmakers already sent me the schedule of your meeting." she handed me a paper.

I carefully read it. "This weekend?" I asked surprisingly. I can't believed that it's happening already. We're having a meeting with all the cast, director and crews.

"Okay." I said when I've read the paper, "By the way, who's my leading m—"

"Breaking news! Sikat na aktress at artista na tinaguriang 'The Gorgeous Girl' na si Francine Perez, nakitang bumaba sa sasakyan ng isa ring sikat na actor at superstar na si Zion Lapaz! Tinatanong ng mga fans, may something na nga ba sa kanila? Matatandaan na mag-kasama sila sa isang photoshoot para sa isang magazine..."

What the f—

"What the hell is that?!" I asked surprisingly when I saw myself on the television. There's a video playing and it's about me, bumababa ako sa sasakyan ni Zion, and after a few minutes, bumaba na din si Zion dito.
