"Lloyd, come to my office now."
Lloyd's manager called him early in the morning.
"Why? The press conference is not until 9 in the morning. It's just 6 am." Lloyd answered.
"I know but that was an order. Get dressed and just go."

I woke up and felt Lloyd no longer there beside me. He must have some important thing to do. I then saw the ring on my finger. It hits me again. Lloyd asked me to marry him and I said yes. We're gonna be together forever. I smiled as I looked at the ring on my finger.

"We've got a serious problem, Lloyd." Sarah Raymundo, Lloyd's manager said as she places that day's issue of Celebrity Parazzi.
FAMOUS SINGER-ACTOR, A PLAYBOY?
As stated on the headline of the newspaper.
"No. This isn't true. Deanna and I, we never had a relationship even a secret one. How could this happen?" Lloyd said as he reads the article.
"I know but this will surely stain your image, Lloyd. This is not good. Be prepared for everything that's going to happen. And tell that girl of yours too to be prepared."
"You knew about her?" Lloyd was surprised.
"I do a background check on every talent I handle and that includes you Lloyd."

"Have you heard the news about Lloyd Flores?" I heard two interns talking in the bathroom.
"What news?"
"The news that Deanna and Lloyd were secretly together for 2 years but Deanna ended the relationship because turns out Lloyd was cheating on her with this girl. I heard it was a model he was cheating with on Deanna."
"Really? I never thought he was a playboy. Poor Deanna."
I went out the cubicle as the two interns left.

"Where's Lloyd? It's already 9 am."
"Start the press-con without Lloyd. You know what has happened and this will get bigger if Lloyd attends that press-con. Just make up an excuse."
"Yes Ms. Sarah."

I was getting a taxi to go home when a car stopped in front of me. It was Lloyd's. I immediately went inside the car.
"You shouldn't have fetched me." I said.
"It's okay. You know I do it if I am not busy." he said. I can see in his eyes that he has a problem.
We were nearing a famous mall that was near our house when I saw a car was following us. When we stopped because the stoplight turned red, the car went to our right side. The man driving the car lowered down his window and started taking pictures of us. Lloyd immediately shielded me and good thing, the light turned green. Lloyd's car was tinted but still has this blind spot.

I immediately went out of the car when we got home.
"Lloyd, tell me what was that about?" I asked Lloyd.
"It was nothing." Lloyd answered.
"Nothing? Lloyd, I know about the rumor. I know it's just a rumor but it's still bothering you and its consequences will get worse."
Lloyd wasn't able to answer.
