The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 17 - World

Author's note:
Sorry late hehe<3

Hi, Reader! Always remember that I'm proud of you. Keep on going. I'll be silently cheering for you!

Jhoanna's POV:

I escorted her until we reached the gate, but to my surprise, my playful secretary gave me a surprise kiss. I thought she would just kiss me on the cheek, but the rascal went for it.

Unfortunately, there were eyes watching us like CCTV cameras, but I chose to ignore them. But her next move has no chance to be ignored.

What she did made me feel warm and pure. I can't explain how her kisses make me feel different, turning into something special...... Or magical?

Despite the observant gazes, they were replaced with joy and happiness. But I chose not to dwell on them and went inside the house.

“Have a good night, everyone. I'll go upstairs na po.”

I grabbed my training bag and the papers my secretary brought, then headed to my room.

I finished all my work and my nightly routine before finally laying down on my bed.

Today was exhausting, but in a good way. My body is still adjusting since it's been a couple of months since I stopped dancing.

Then she crossed my mind. I know that being in a relationship will happen eventually, but I never expected it to happen so soon, even if it's fake. I didn't expect to reach this point.

After thinking about her and finding no explanation for how she made me feel different, she was the last thing on my mind before falling asleep.

The next day.....

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. It's already 7:00 in the morning. I sat up that made my face crease immediately because of the sunlight beaming from the window.

I took my phone on the side table and I was shocked because it was bombarded with thousands of notifications, missed calls, and text messages.

This only happened again now, after I chose to stop dancing and focus on work. Others might already know that I'll be dancing again. Ang ingay talaga ng dance world.

For sure, it was my group's supporters who made my phone light up every minute.

Instead of checking what's happening on social media, I decided to stick to my morning routine.

After taking a bath, I went downstairs to have breakfast, carrying my papers and training bag for practice later.

Gwen: “Good morning my dear cousin.” She energetically greeted me with a teasing smile.

“Morning, walang good sa umaga ko because of your annoying smirk.” I said and rolled my eyes.

Gwen: “How's your sleep? I bet it's wonderful, amazing, astonishing, and many more.” Naguluhan naman ako sa mga sinasabi nito.

“Why? Kailangan ba dapat maganda ang tulog ko?” I asked, then she suddenly held up a newspaper to my face, which surprised me.

I'm used to being in newspapers, so I wasn't shocked. But what surprised me was that my secretary's face was on it.

“SH*T!”

Mommy: “Watch your words, young lady.”

“Sorry po. Nagulat lang.” I said habang hindi pa rin makapaniwala.

Gwen: “Hindi mo pa alam 'yan? It's all over the internet.”

“N-no. I didn't check my social media accounts.”
