Maine is sweating very bad and her heart is pounding really fast, another press conference for their newest movie. Presscon always gives her this type of anxiety even though she's been doing it for quite a long time already the anxiety level is still the same but she knows how to pull it off specially when he's there. RJ's mere presence calms her.
"Meng, kailangan niyo na pumasok." Jecker informed.
"si RJ?" she worriedly asked.
"mukhang di aabot."
She heaved out a deep sigh.
"smile." Jecker reminded.
She manage to flashed her smile as she went in but deep inside she's cursing their situation. The moment she got to her seat, Maine immediately took her phone to check on Alden's whereabouts.

Tisoy, kinakabahan ako ng sobra. Feeling ko lalabas na yung puso ko. I need you here to calm me down. Asan ka na ba?
A bunch of question, Maine was able to answered it despite the fact that her mind is floating somewhere else. Her co-stars get noticed that too so, they're helping her out with some of the question.

Richard! mag-reply ka naman! Sige ka! Hindi na tayo bati.
She stares at her phone for a couple of minutes and still got nothing in return. She wants to get mad but at the back of her head she's feeling guilty. She knows RJ is very tired too, the guy hasn't sleep for 30 hours already and he's coming from Ilocos then here she is bombarding him with text message that might worry him.

RJ's phone keeps on beeping eversince he reach the main road of Manila and he knows that a lot of those messages are from Maine. When he reached the event place it took him a couple of minutes before he finally saw a spot for parking. As soon as he was able to read her messages, it made him worry even more. RJ flew his way inside with sweats running down his face he flashed an assuring smile as his eyes met hers and as usual, it's the only thing Maine needs to calm her down, he's presence. The host acknowlegde his arrival and questions where immediately thrown at him as soon as he sat next to her. He gladly answered it even though he wanted to talk to her already and when the question for him were finally done he shifted his gaze at the girl next to him. He called her name and asked if she's ok, she looked at him with a frown telling him that she's not.
"I'm sorry." he sincerely mumbled.
"grabe ka." she melancholy stated.
"sorry na." he cooed and held her hand. He slightly squeezes it. "andito na ko oh."
Maine look at him with furious eyes. "pasalamat ka, mahal kita."
RJ beamed at her, he wanted to kiss her but he can't, so he just pinched her nose and reserved the kiss for later.
"you owe me." he then wiggle his eyebrows.
"what?" she asked between her giggles.
"basta, may utang ka sakin."
