The Secret CEO

Chapter 42

Loey

Kuya Eros paced back and forth while everyone was silent.

I glanced at Leigh when he leaned his head on my shoulder, his eyes dropping. Hinayaan ko lang siya bago sumulyap pa sa iba na nakatambay sa silid namin ni Baron. Nakayakap si Nate kay Kuya Jinmin habang nakaupo sa kama ni Baron. Katabi nila si Kaito habang si Baron naman ay nasa harap ko't nakaupo sa aking kama. Matt and Kuya Eros were both standing near the door.

Our leader picked his phone out of his pocket with a frown on his face. "Our manager's on his way here."

We exchanged looks before letting out a sigh.

The guys didn't say a thing, especially this guy beside me. Leigh was now sleeping on my shoulder.

It's not a normal day for everyone. It felt like all our energy got drained, even Baron. He was just scrolling through his cell phone the entire time with his jaw clenched.

This felt like when we were just rookies in this industry. We were all restless off-cam before because of the endless rumors and issues spreading all over the internet. Some issues left a huge impact on us because it has the potential to ruin our career, but we're all glad that we're still surviving the harsh world of being a public figure.

But this time, it's different.

We shouldn't treat the blind item as a big deal even though it was evident that it's pointing at me. We could just ignore it. However, we don't want Primrose to get involved with the dramas.

"This is so fucking exhausting!" Baron suddenly burst before laying on the bed, putting his phone down on his chest. "Can't they mind their own business? It's just a damn blind item!"

"A damn one that could hurt Primrose," Dredleigh said as he stepped inside our room. "If someone tipped off whoever wrote that, there's a big chance that they could reveal Primrose."

I nodded at that. That scared us the most right now.

"Tama na iyang pagbasa mo sa comments, Baron," saway ni Kuya Eros. "Let's just wait for our manager. I'm sure Ate Alice won't let Primrose see those nasty comments about the secret CEO."

I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes for a moment, inhaling deeply. Leigh moaned beside me when my shoulders moved. Kuya Eros glanced at us before he clapped to get everyone's attention.

"We should go down now. Mr. Riason's near."

We all followed our leader without saying a thing. The only thing we could hear was Leigh yawning while we're walking downstairs. He even went to the corner side and took a nap, again. We let him be because it's normal and we're already used to it. Everyone settled in their usual areas whenever we're in the living room.

Minutes later, our manager arrived. He just walked straight, halting in front of us without smiling. Letting out a deep sigh, he finally spoke. "Ang CEO na raw ang magsasabi kung ano ang napagkasunduan sa meeting kanina. I was told to cancel all your schedule for today and not let you go to the building. The situation there is kinda bad."

"How bad?" I asked, clasping my hands.

"The other employees were scared. The artists couldn't just go out of the building, even Primrose needs to think carefully of how she would go out there. The parking and the main entrance of the Empire were surrounded by your angry fans. There were even some fans who tried to sneak inside. May mga iba rin na hinaharangan ang mga papasok na naka-mask at tinatanggal ito. Habang ang mga nasa parking area ay sinusubukan din harangan ang mga kotse."
