"I have a surprise for you." Lloyd said.
"What is it?" I answered.
"Later."
"Ikaw pinapatakam mo pa ako. Hehe. Okay, later. I need to go already."
"Going early?"
"I still need to do lots of things to do in the magazine."
"I'll drop you off."
____________________________________________________
"See you later." I said to Lloyd.
"You too." He said then kissed me gently on the lips.
I was about to go out of the car when I saw Deanna approaching the building.
"Drive the car. Deanna is just there. She might recognize your car."
Lloyd immediately pressed on the gas pedal.

"Was that Lloyd?" Deanna asked her assistant.
"I don't think so Ma'am. Marami naman pong ganyang sasakyan dito."
"Never mind. Maybe I'm just hallucinating because of what happened yesterday." Deanna said to herself.
"Let's go." she said to her assistant.

"Ms. Lalaine, Deanna has arrived and the shoot is now going on." I said to Ms. Lalaine.
"Good. Please cancel my meeting this lunch. I'd be joining Rajo (Laurel) for lunch. I'd be helping him pick out some cloths for his new collection."
"Yes Ma'am."
"Oh and Raine? Come by the shoot to check if everything is okay since I can't go there myself."
"Sure Ma'am."

I went to the studio where there are shooting to see how everyone is doing.
"How is the shoot going?" I asked Karen.
"Disaster." Karen said.
"Why? What's wrong?"
"Everything especially Deanna. I just confirmed the rumor about her being a b!tch is very true. She's just famous because she was paired up with Lloyd. Without him, her 3 years of so called stardom will be non existent."
"Cool down Karen. Where's your assistant?"
"I fired her."
"Why?"
"She kept slacking off . I tell her to do something but she never do it."
"Just relax. I'm done with the things Ms. Lalaine wants me to do and she also told me to check here. I'd be willing help you."
"Thanks."

"Darlin', give me happy, festive, excited. It's for Christmas. Do you want to look like Scrooge?" I heard the photographer saying.
With his thick Italian accent I knew who the photographer was, Giovanni. He's one of the best photographers in his generation. I met him in a photo shoot of Ms. Lalaine when she was interviewed in Vogue Italia. Actually, Ms. Lalaine was a former supermodel turned fashion magazine owner.
"Raine! Ciao Bella!" he saw me then greeted me with a kiss on both cheeks.
"Giovanni! Comme va? (How are you?)" I did the same to him.
"Bene grazie! (Good, thank you.)" he answered.
"Ehem." I heard Deanna said.
"What's going on here? Is there something wrong? Ms. Lalaine told me to check things out here." I said to Giovanni.
"Well this girl over here is not cooperating with me." he said in Italian.
Let's just say I'd been with Ms. Lalaine for a long time already and she takes me almost everywhere since I'm the only one she trusts aside from her father. That's why I know some basic words in the Spanish, Japanese, Italian and Chinese.
"Oh I see." I answered back in Italian.
"Ms. Deanna, don't be offended but I know you are not a model but this is a shoot for a magazine so you need to be one. Giovanni, here is one of the best photographers there is. He's the Patrick Demarchelier of Italy. To be honest with you the money we paid him is even larger than the talent fee for a soap. But because this magazine believes so much in you and we value you we got this amazing photographer to shoot you. There's no other cover in the history of our magazine that is shot by this photographer, only yours. "
Deanna wasn't able to answer.
"Grazie." Giovanni whispered to me.
