Oh my God, Hiraya!
That's very unethical.
Where are you?!

He deserves it.

No, Hiraya!
We need their help!
The least thing we can do is to be kind to them!

No, Justine.
Hindi mo ba narinig yung mga sinasabi nung lalaking 'yon?!
He fucking degraded me!
Sa tingin mo ba tatayo lang ako sa gilid pagkatapos niya akong maliitin?

We could've approached it in a nicer way, Hira.

Nicer way?! He deserves my slap!
That asshole and his remarks!

Hira, we need something from him, okay?

We do not, Justine.

Compared to you, halos milyon ang mga fans niya at ikaw ay wala pa ngang 5 digits! Naiintindihan mo ba 'yon?

So what's your point?

Your career is failing, Hiraya.
And as a manager, I can't let that happen!
Pairing you with Leon is a good shot.

To hell with my career failing!
I will never accept the offer!

Hira, the contract was already approved by both companies.

Approved niyo pero hindi namin approved?
Nagdedesisyon ba kayo para samin?!
Kayo ba ang haharap sa publiko?!

Hiraya!
Sinabi ko na sayo, para sa career mo 'to!

This is not for me, Justine.
Para sayo 'tong ginagawa mo.

I witnessed your hardships in getting inside this field, kaya hindi ako papayag na ganon ganon lang ang pagbagsak mo!

I don't need your pity.

Sa ayaw o sa gusto mo, we will announce it to the public.

What the fuck?! No!
Justine, I do not approve of this.

Hiraya.

Ayokong magalit sayo.
We've been friends for 3 years.
You should have known me by then!

I'm sorry.
But the directors approved of this already.

Are you serious?

Yes. Kaya tiisin mo muna.
If your publicity increases, just then we'll cut our ties with him.

Justine, naririnig mo ba 'yang sinasabi mo?
Did you hear how he belittled us?

I do, Hira.

'Yon naman pala eh!
Do you know how much he hurted my pride and ego and how he invalidated my hardworks?

Hira. . .

Naghirap ako, Justine eh!
I didn't used my family name kasi gusto kong may mapatunayan!
Because I know that if I used De Montelibano, people would flock over me!

I'm sorry.

I worked hard to earn it myself!
He can't say that to me kasi hindi niya naman alam yung mga pinaghirapan ko!

Fine. I'll contact them.
I'll try to terminate the deal.

You better do!
Hindi ako papayag na nakaloveteam 'yang lalaking 'yan at alam ko rin namang ayaw niya rin sakin.

Okay, calm down.
Asan ka?

Nagpapahangin.

Sige. We'll talk things later ha?
Magpakalma ka muna.

Yeah sure.

Some people really think highly of themselves. What a shame.
