Third Person's POV
Richard Faulkerson, Jr. immediately stood up when the clock struck 4. The door swung to open revealing one of his flings. Hindi nya ito pinansin.
"Where are you heading at? It's still early."
"Home," walang ganang sagot ni Alden habang sinusuot ang coat nito.
"What's with the sudden transformation to a home buddy, A?" The woman shamelessly wrapped her arms around his neck obviously going for that neck kiss when the young COO pushed her away. "Ouch," her then sultry mood turned sour.
"I told you not to come here and never to see me again."
"You also told that to the rest of the simps?"
Alden massaged his temple. "Why do I even waste my time talking to you." He abruptly dialed security. The woman was dumbfounded.
Ngayon ang uwi ni Kathryn galing sa final shoot and he needs to talk to her. Hindi parin kasi ito nagrereply sa kanya. Looking at their 'married schedule', sa pent house nito ngayon ang uwi nya at hindi sa bahay nila. Ang problema nya lang, hindi nya alam kung saan yun. Neither Yaya and Ashley dared na magsabi coz they respect Kathryn's safe space.
Nakalabas na sya ng building and the first thing he thought was paying a visit to his lawyer's firm.
"Mr. Faulkerson, have a seat."
Atty. Diaz and Alden are alone in the VIP conference room. The young lawyer mirrored her report to the screen against the wall and her client was seriously looking at the photos. "I know that girl. Anak sya ng mayordoma sa bahay ni Lolo Tiago."
Atty. Diaz pursed her lips and nodded. She showed him more snaps and clips. "Apparently, she's a fan girl."
"Of Kathryn?"
"Yap. Why would you even ask that, Mr. Faulkerson? Alangan namang sayo mag fangirl yan."
He smirked. "We never know."
Atty. Shaira profusely shakes her head. "I just showed you all the evidences, pati yung room nya na full of Kathryn's face all over it, diba?"
Alden loosen up. "Akala ko kakausapin mo talaga ako ng masyadong pormal eh. Sige na, go on, Shai. And drop the formality, kinakapatid. Tayo lang naman nandito."
"Whatever."
Shaira continued and updated Alden about the NDA and the blind item online. Nagawan ng paraan ng tech department nila na malocate yung nagpost and matanggal sa trends list ang tsismis about Kathryn.
"People easily forget. Give it a week, ibang tao na naman ang pagtsitsismisan ng mga yan."
"Nabili natin yung mga nagmamanman sa labas ng bahay ninyo, yes but still, you need to be careful. I have checked the brand deal na may clause that Kathryn has to be single until the contract expires. It's huge, RJ."
He contemplated a bit longer. Shaira didn't speak a word as well.
"I really have to see her tonight," he mumbled.
"I don't think I'd like the words you're gonna spit any moment. I'm outta here." She hurriedly picked up her iPad but Alden was quick to stop her from leaving. "You can't do that, Mr. Faulkerson."
"Wala pa nga akong sinasabi eh."
"You want to know where she lives."
"Kayo yung kinuha nila dad, na ninong mo, to investigate Kathryn before we were set up."
"But your parents didn't even ask about matters like where she exactly lives."
"Regardless. You still have it on your file."
"Anak ng tokwa ka namang lalaki ka."
"Please? After this, wala na akong ibang favor na hihilingin unprofessionally."
Shaira heaved. "Tara sa office ko."
"Yahoo!" Napasuntok pa sa hangin ang batang Faulkerson.
"All of this for your fake wife?"
Alden didn't answer. Hindi rin naman kasi nya alam kung bakit.
Shaira tapped his shoulders. "Lilipas din yan."
