The Secret CEO

Loey

I wiped the sweats on my forehead, groaning as I sat on the floor. I watched Kaito as he fixed Dredleigh’s postures for Dred’s part in the choreography. 

The others also reviewed their parts when my head snapped at Kuya Eros who sat beside me, catching his breath.

“You can all take a break,” he said to the members.

We’ve been practicing for hours already and my body ached so much. The members listened to our leader, sitting on the floor while Leigh and Baron laid down.

My mind suddenly went to Primrose. She didn’t tell us more about the suspect earlier, but everyone in the group seemed like they were thinking the same person I was thinking. Still, there’s a part of me that wanted to deny it. I don’t want to doubt someone. 

We all wanted to ask her, but she dismissed us because we all need to get ready for work after breakfast. She was also in a hurry when she received a call from Kuya Rence.

Our heads turned to Nate who suddenly let out a deep sigh for the third time already. He has been gloomy since we got here in the practice room.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

He scratched his head and bit his lower lip. “I just remembered what happened earlier. It was a total mess. We just wanted to expose ourselves in the public, especially Loey to show those people that we’re not affected by the situation. We were supposed to just walk through the lobby for those who were outside to see that we could continue our schedules regardless of what’s happening. But, I didn’t expect them to be so wild. Seeing how they tried to enter the building not minding that they might harm someone scared the hell out of me. It’s not normal. We all know that.”

Napatango ako sa sinabi niya, ganoon din ang iba. Halos magtulakan ang iba para lang makapasok sa Empire kanina nang makita nila kami, lalo na ako na mainit sa mga mata nila.

It wasn’t normal. It was also dangerous for them and for us.

We quickly went our way to the practice after seeing how the guards were struggling to control the people outside. Even the staff helped the guards to control the people while our manager assisted us to our practice room. 

As much as Primrose didn't want us to worry about her, We also didn't want her to worry about us.

"You can also see that the employees are scared to even go outside. Most of them eat in the cafeteria instead of going out. They also couldn't just go out for a walk or buy coffee outside because of the possibility that the fans will try to stop them to ask questions," said Dredleigh. 

"Guess it's time for our caferia's coffee to shine," I joked.

They just gave a faint laugh.

Baron pulled his hair up and groaned. "I'm fucking tired thinking about everything. It's more exhausting than our practice."

We nodded our heads again. Who wouldn't get exhausted about it? I know that we're bound to get attention from the public, but not in a way that could be harmful to us and the people around us.

Natahimik kaming lahat habang sinusubukan kumalma sa mga nangyayari at dahil na rin sa pagod. Humiga ako sa sahig at ipinikit ang aking mga mata. Gusto ko na lang matapos ang lahat. Gusto ko lang naman maging masaya at payapa kasama si Primrose pero bakit ang daming sagabal? 

I feel like I’m only hurting Primrose. That I’m the one putting her in a dangerous position.

I shook the thoughts away before I threw a glance at Kaito who stood and fixed his jogging pants. He gave a nod at our leader. “Shall we continue?”
