"Hey!" she placed the phone over to her ears without even seeing who it was.

"Did you really think you can get rid of me that easily?"

Bigla ay napunit ang ngiti sa mga labi niya.

She was about to get to the reception of UPSTYLES fashion show for their relaunch.

Brad and his friends were already getting ready while she decided to follow dahil na rin kailangan niyang i-check ang sales nila ng araw na iyon with Renzo.

She was not expecting the response of their customers the moment they dropped the news that the fashion show will be held that night.

Naubos ang sales ng tickets nila the moment na nag-release sila ng teaser for the event and at the same time, they have secured the presence of the most prominent people in the industry.

Lalong higit pa ang naging impact nang malaman ng mga tao that popular star Chloe who is also her friend and her gorgeous soon-to-be husband were joining in on the show.

But most of all, Tracy.

"Who is this?"

"I'll kill you bitch!"

Iyon lamang ang huli niyang narinig bago pa man naputol ang linya.

Biglang nabuhay ang kaba sa dibdib niya. He sounded familiar.

The car now stopped in front of the hotel kung saan mangyayari ang fashion show.

They've made sure that the show would be explicitly amazing.

Nagtagumpay silang makakuha ng bagong roster ng models na karamihan ay binubuo ng mga kilalang atleta, cheerleaders, rising artists at sinabayan niya iyon ng ilang sa mga hindi inaasahang mga tipo ng modelo.

She aimed for diversity as a message of the show.

Kinakabahan niyang binuksan ang pintuan ng sasakyan at napangiti nang bumungad sa harapan niya si Brad who was now wearing one of the event's collection.

He looked absolutely handsome at ni hindi niya mapaniwalaang asawa niya ang lalaki.

His beard was gone now matapos ang dalawang linggong pagpapatubo nito niyon. A cute attempt for him not to be commisioned as their model.

Ngunit napilit pa rin niya ito sa di kalaunan.

She gulped as she accepted his hand held out in front of her.

"Juls, namumutla ka yata. Anything wrong?"

Dagli siyang napatanga sa harapan nito. Hindi niya mapagdesisyunan kung dapat bang sabihin dito ang taong nakausap niya sa telepono.

"Ahmmm,..I.."

"Are you okay?" biglang namutawi ang pag-aalala mula rito.

"I'm fine. Kinakabahan lang siguro ako. This is it."

He kissed her hand and wrapped it around his arms. He then led her inside the building till the table where she's supposed to be seated. He gave her a kiss in the cheek as he bid her goodbye. 

Maya-maya lang ay umalis na ito mula sa tabi niya at ang sumunod na nakita niya ay ang pagdilim ng buong paligid. 

The lights on the stage started to lit up and then music fill the entire place. 

Unti-unti ay nagsimula na ang fashion show. 

Her eyes almost went teary. How she wished her parents were around to witness the success they have always wanted for the company.
