Dawn of the Lion

章 23

"15 minutes break!" 

As Miss Cara announced that to the whole team, I immediately went inside our tent and lie down on my foldable bed. We were having a project shoot today for a music video, of course, still with Nathan. It's been 2 days since Jackie posted that picture on his Instagram and luckily, hindi pa 'ko napapatawag ng manager ko. That's a good thing. 

"Selene," Miss Cara entered the tent. "I need to talk to you about this." 

"What is it, Miss?" I sat down and waited for her to talk. "If this is about Jacques' post, I will just talk to him." I told her right away.

"Right! I don't know what came to his mind but I know that both of you talked about it already, 'di ba? Nakaabot sa Premiere." 

"Yes, Miss. I'm sorry about it, it won't happened again. But Premiere is a company owned by the Jiraanans, right? I know, they will understand it but still, I'm sorry." I apologized. "Don't you think it's to harsh for him? I mean... Hindi naman ako nag-interact sa post niya." I said.

"But Jacques is a public figure, Selene. Hindi lang sa'yo may nakatapat na camera palagi, kung 'di sa kaniya rin." She answered. "He may not be in showbiz but he can appear on Tv, alam mo naman 'yon e'." She added.

"Okay, my bad. I will just talk to him." I didn't have a choice but to let myself lose. Wala naman akong laban lagi sa manager ko e'. "I will just tell him to delete it." I added.

After the shoot, I immediately got home and Jackie wasn't home yet. I sat on the couch at the sala with Jelly and Cookie while waiting for their Dad. This day was very tiring and draining. Lagi na lang napapakielaman 'yong buhay namin ni Jackie. Hindi ba pwedeng magkalovelife outside showbiz?! My gosh.

I stood up when I heard Jackie's car entering our garage, I was carrying Jelly and Cookie, we were waiting for Jackie to enter our house e'. Agad namang tumahol si Jelly nang makita niya si Jackie kaya agad ko rin siyang binaba at hinayaang tumakbo papunta kay Jackie. Jackie just gave him a head pat before walking towards me.

"Hi, love. Kanina ka pa?" He asked with his tired voice and gave me a kiss on my temple. I hugged him quickly.

"A bit, love." I nodded. "I need to tell you something." I added.

"What is it?" He asked while waking towards our sala. He sat down on the couch and I sat beside him. "It's about the post, right?" He asked.

I looked at him and nodded slowly. He massaged the bridge of his nose and took a deep breathe. "Alright. Alright. I will just... delete it. I'm sorry." He shook his head. "Dapat bang i-delete kita sa Instagram ko?" He asked. "Ano pa kailangan kong gawin?" He sounded irritated.

"I'm sorry," I looked down while rubbing Cookie's head. "I'm sorry, sana hindi ko muna sinabi sa'yo. You're tired, I'm sorry..." I got nervous.

"That was my move and I admit that I was wrong. I'm sorry, I'll just delete it now." He said while getting his phone from his pocket. "Sabihin mo pa kung ano kailangan kong gawin, para isahan na lang, Selene." He said while scrolling.
