TNRS I: To The Bone (Ongoing)

TNRS I: Prologue: Ms. de Leon & Mr. Ferrel

"I'm seeing this wrong, right?" Hindi ko alam kung namamalikmata lang ba ako o may deperensiya na ba talaga ang mga mata ko.

I look up to my secretary, hoping that she'd tell me that I'm hallucinating or something.

"Who's going to model what?!"

What's this?! My eyes must be playing with me. Maybe I should get my eyes looked. I must be looking into a mistake! Shit. But there it is! His name along with his signature!

Lumapit ang secretary ko sa table at bahagyang dumungaw sa contract na nailapag ko sa table dahil sa gulat.

"Mr. Axel Raphael Ferrel, ma'am." My ear ticked when I heard the name. Nagtaas ako ng tingin sakaniya and looked at her with full of disbelief.

"When did this happen? Kailan pa tong proposal na to? How come I didn't know this?" I hysterically asked, demanding for a reasonable reason.

"Just last week. You signed the proposal of the contract first before we interacted with Mr. Ferrel's manager. And the managing team had discussed this with Mr. Ferrel, himself." She simply answered.

"I did what?" Sasagot na sana siya when I motion my hand. "No. That can't have happened."

I was left with my lips half parted. This can't be happening! How did this happen? There must be some kind of mistake, an error or something! Or is my hand the error?

I looked at my right hand in horror. I am still holding a pen. Is this pen cursed or what? Binato ko yung ballpen hoping that it'd turn into some kind of a magical creature. Bigla namang bumukas yung pinto ng office and Terrance came in kamuntik ng tumama yung pen sakaniya but the guy has good reflexes, he swiftly avoided it.

The pen fell on the floor and nothing happened.

Huh.

So, it's not cursed. Hinilot ko naman ang sintido ko.

"I have no time for something stupid right now, Terrance." I said with my eyes shut habang hinihilot parin ang sintido.

My mind is now pretty occupied on how I'm going to deal with this matter. Maybe I'm just so busy lately to the point na nalito na ako sa mga contract na pinipirmahan ko o baka naman...

No!

That will never happen! Of course! What am I thinking?! What am I going to do now?

"Jeez. What's her problem this time?"

"She's stressed out about the modeling contract."

"Why? Did she have another fight with a female model again? Who's the model?"

"It's a he. And it's lead guitarist Axel Ferrel." Heidi replied.

I get chills all over my entire body whenever I hear that name.

"Oh. Really? This'll be fun. She's not thinking of withdrawing the contract is she?"

"On the looks of it... she looks like she's already considering it. It's going to be a huge loss to the company if she really will withdraw. Kung magkataon ay pang limang beses na tong may inayawan siyang big time star na magmo-model ng brand."

Rinig kong humagikhik sa tawa ang dalawa. How dare they laugh in front of me? Do they see this as a joke? Should I choke them with the stupid contract to appease the anger that's building up inside of me? I threw them a sharp gaze once again.

"I can hear you two... and I am already at the verge of hitting something... or someone." I said at tinignan silang dalawa ng matalim. Umayos sila ng tayo pareho.
