CHAPTER 9

*

Emilie

As I stepped out of the car, the sight of a huge billboard immediately caught my eye. It was a gesture of appreciation because my movie was a hit and it outperformed Thalia's top grosser. In my mind, there was joy, but something was still missing. The success didn't bring me the happiness I sought. There was something lacking, and I knew exactly who it was.

The memories of our past together started playing like a movie in my head. Memories of our laughter and love for each other flooded my thoughts. Every time I think about the mistake I made, there's nothing I can do but cry. All the memories of her are still vivid in my heart and mind, and I miss her terribly. We had been together for so many years, and I refused to believe that she had fully moved on from our relationship, from me.

After numerous attempts, I finally managed to convince Amour to meet with me again. My jealousy from before made me utter words that I later regretted. Why did I involve Rhea in my problems? I know Amour must think ill of me, and she may believe I'm just using Rhea, but I have no intention of bringing someone innocent into my life's issues.

"Magandang umaga, ma'am." As soon as I stepped into the building, I was greeted by a smiling staff. Right, I'm here to participate in a talk show.

"Goodmorning." I politely returned the greeting and followed after her as she led me to the room.

My intuition tells me that the show is about to start, and I intentionally arrived late for that reason. I don't like being kept waiting for a prolonged period of time. After this event, I am heading straight to the hotel where Amour and I have agreed to meet. I told her that if she is busy, I will go to the hospital, but she insists that we meet at our usual spot.

True enough, the host had already started his opening segment, and I was waiting for my turn to be called to the stage.

"And now, we have a special guest with us today. She has reached the top of her career with her latest movie, quickly becoming a box office hit in just a few weeks. Please welcome Emilie Jenkins, everyone!" I took the microphone that was handed to me and smiled at the audience as I made my way up onto the stage.

"Welcome! It's such an honor to have you here today, miss Emilie. Your latest movie has been absolutely smashing the charts and breaking records left and right. Tell us, how does it feel to have reached the top of your career in such a short span of time?" I'm feeling nervous because this is my first time attending such a big and well-known show.

"Thank you, it truly has been a whirlwind journey. The success of this movie has been beyond my wildest dreams, and I'm incredibly grateful to the cast, crew, and fans who have supported me every step of the way. I never imagined that this film would take off the way it has, and I'm truly humbled by the response. It's an honor to be here with all of you today." I answered confidently as I smiled at the camera. I knew many people were watching me live, so I made sure to maintain my composure and deliver my responses with confidence.

"I'm sure many aspiring actors and actresses look up to you for inspiration. Can you share who or what inspired you to pursue this acting career?" The host's next question caught me off guard, and for a brief moment, I had to pause and think before quickly plastering a smile back onto my face.

"My biggest inspiration comes from the person who encouraged me to pursue acting right from the start. This person has supported me through thick and thin, showered me with love and understanding, and has been my biggest cheerleader throughout my journey. Without her unwavering support and belief in me, I wouldn't be where I am today. She has truly been my rock and my inspiration." I secretly hoped that she's watching the show now since I had mentioned this to her beforehand.
