When You Love Someone (COMPLETED)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

It's Monday pero di ko muna pinapasok si Zoey. I know I promised her na hindi ko na siya isasama sa trabaho but it will be the last time. Para din naman sa future namin to. Social media fame is not forever, I knew famous people before na bigla na lang nawala, iba sa kanila, just left the industry to start a more peaceful life outside the public eye, pero yung iba, bgla na lang siguro nawalan ng gana ang tao sa kanila. Hindi ko isinasara ang isipan ko sa bagay na yun. And I also don't want to be here forever...Kung may choice lang ako, matagal na akong lumayo dito.

"But it's exhausting. Saka boring." Nakanguso pa si Zoey habang sinasabi yun.

Phoebe giggled. Siya ang kasama namin ngayong araw. Bonnie will also be there, I haven't heard from him since yesterday. "We'll be shooting in an arcade. Does that sound boring still?"

Tila nag-isip pa si Zoey. Kalong-kalong ko siya front sear sa tabi ng driver's seat while Phoebe drives. Nagkibit-balikat si Zoey. "Hmmm...Kinda. I still love school more than this."

She's only 6 and is in kindergarten. "Don't you want to be like your mom? Sikat na social media personality? Beauty influencer. Your mom is faces of most beauty products kaya." Sakto pang nadaanan namin ang billboard ko dito sa Makati. Tulad ng sabi ni Phoebe papunta nga kami sa isang arcade, actually sa isang mall to shoot for an AD para sa mall ding iyon.

'No, I want to be like my Dad who is a very intellegent man, a multi-millionaire, and responsible. I mean Mommy is really rich too her life is not peaceful at all. I hate this."

"At her age, sobrang matured na ata ni Zoey ah." Baling naman sa akin ni Phoebe. I look at her with a smile. Then napansin ko ang biglang pagkunot ng noo niya. "But iI'm acually confused..." Di pa niya sinasabi kuha ko na agad. I don't want to talk about it in front of Phoebe kaya sinagot ko na agad yung tanong niya habang di pa niya nababanggit.

"She actually grew up with a different Dad."Tumango-tango siya.

"But he is, right?" Eventhough she is now my manager. Ayoko talagang sabihin. Maybe I will just let people think what they want to think. And her too...

Di ko siya sinagot and I just smiled. Iniwas ko na ang tingin ko sa kanya at nagfocus na rin naman siya sa pagmamaneho. "But the fans, sakay na sakay sila sa issue. They like you and Noah together, your sponsors want you and Noah together. Like a picture perfect family na gusto nilang mabuo." I don't think Zoey was even listening to our conversation. She took her iPad at lumipat sa passenger seat. I guess it's fine. I hope so. Ayoko muna talagang malaman niya who her real Dad is.

"I don't think it's a good idea to just shut it down."Suhestyon niya. "...pero ikaw, I'm your manager but ayoko talagang panghimasukan ang pribadong buhay mo. Saka I am working for you, you're not working for me." Natatawa pa niyang sabi.

"Hmm, yeah." If only I don't think we need to do this, I won't even say yes. But they are paying us more than I usually get paid sa kahit anong endorsements ko pa.

"This is your first project together with Noah. And to be honest a lot were also calling me this past few days."

This is the first day that Zoey will actually spend the day with him. Bigla akong kinabahan. Initially I actually decided to work with him not just because of money but for something, Pero ngayon, na baka maging close sila bigla, kinakabahan na ako and I don't even know why. I'm not eve comfortable around him.

I still hate it everytime.

Narating na namin ang mall. Nagulat kami sa dami ng tao roon. Alas otso pa lang ng umaga at alas nuebe pa talaga ang bukas nito but I think they were actually waiting for us.
