Karera | [ Stacey x OC (F) ]

C22 - Chie & Cyan

Third Person's POV

As Louise, Javi, Mikha, and Stacey returned to the tent, their friends erupted in cheers, congratulating them, especially Louise for her incredible win. Gwen suggested a celebration dinner at a fancy restaurant, and everyone readily agreed, excited for a night out in Paris.

But before they could make their plans, Chie Filomeno approached with a smile. "Louise, that was an amazing race! Congratulations!" she said, pulling her old friend into a hug.

Louise's face lit up. "Chie! It's been so long. I've missed you!"

After a quick catch-up, Louise introduced Chie to her friends. Jhoanna, Sheena, and Maloi could barely contain their excitement, clearly fangirling over meeting the famous actress. Chie glanced at the group, smiling. "So, are you all going out to celebrate?"

Colet answered, "Yep! Plano namin kumain sa restaurant."

Kai then invited Chie to join, but she declined, explaining that she had another event to attend. "But let me cover the dinner as a celebration for Louise." Chie insisted, "And I'll borrow her for just a moment if you don't mind."

Louise held onto Stacey's hand, giving her a quick kiss on the forehead before heading off with Chie.

Their friends watched with teasing smiles, and Javi sighed, "Tangina, sana all."

Kai leaned over with a grin, "Tara dito, kiss din kita."

Javi shot him a disgusted look, and the girls burst into laughter.

Chie led Louise to a quieter spot, where her manager was waiting with a gift-wrapped box. "I have something for you." Chie said, handing her the box. "It's for both winning the race and making up for all the lost time."

Louise blinked, stunned. "Chie, this wasn't necessary…"

"Oh, hush, just open it." Chie replied with a cheeky grin.

Louise carefully tore open the wrapping, revealing a sleek helmet box. She opened it, and her jaw dropped. Inside was a limited-edition Lewis Hamilton helmet, complete with his signature. Louise's face lit up with shock and excitement. "What the... how did you get this? This is one of a kind!"

Chie just smirked. "Connections, my friend."

Louise grinned, hugging her tightly. "Thank you, Chie. This is incredible."

"Consider it a bribe for not being able to catch up sooner." Chie joked.

After a final hug, Chie bid her farewell, saying she had already booked a place for their celebration. "It's on me." she said, waving goodbye as she walked off with her manager.

Louise returned to her friends, holding the helmet up for all to see. Javi and Kai's eyes went wide, practically sparkling as they stared at the helmet.

"Uy! Ganda n'yan ah!" Kai said, pretending to reach for it.

Javi nodded eagerly. "Bantayan mo 'yan, baka itago namin 'yan."

Louise smirked, sticking her tongue out at them playfully. "Not a chance. This baby's going on display in my room."

As they prepared to leave, Louise noticed her cousin Cyan walking their way, typing on her phone with her managers behind her. "Cyan!" Louise called out.

Cyan looked up, smiling as she approached. They greeted each other with a quick hug, and Louise invited her to join them for the dinner celebration.

Cyan glanced at her watch, sighing. "I'd love to, pero need ko nang bumalik agad sa New Zealand. It's a quick turnaround."

Louise's face fell slightly. "So soon? We haven't had a chance to really catch up."

Cyan chuckled, nodding. "I know, but I promise we'll make up for it. I'll be back for Christmas, and I'll be sure to spend it with you."

Louise's eyes widened in surprise. "Uuwi ka sa pilipinas for Christmas?"

Cyan nodded, hugging her cousin tightly. "Yes, I'll see you then. Take care, Louise."

"Take care, Cyan." Louise replied, watching as Cyan waved to her friends before heading off.

As Louise rejoined her friends, they set off for the restaurant Chie had arranged, ready to celebrate both the win and the bonds that had brought them all together.
