[ Episode 7 ] Unaware

Jake POV

Two hours.

It's been two freaking hours since this malicious news spread like a wild fire all across the country. Feasting by malicious mind and butt mouths.

Breaking News

Hot shot billionaire and one of the most elite Bachelor in town, Hansthel Kyo. Caught, last night with unnamed lady having an intimate dinner in a local restaurant. The said couple had been sighting doing some mushy stuff while inside and outside the establishment.

DAMN IT!!

Kaya pala di n'ya sinasagot 'yung tawag ko kagabi, is simply because she having a date. At sa kaibigan ko pa! Tse.

Napahilot naman ako sa sentido ko, dahil ang aga-aga pa lang pero ito na kaagad ang bumungad sa'kin. And worst, my parents keep on pestering me about the news. Kept on asking me on how did it happened? How do I even know, ni hindi nga sinasagot ng magaling na babaeng 'yon 'yung telepono n'ya!

Ilang beses akong huminga ng malalim at t'saka muling tinitigan ang mga litratong nakapost sa iba't-ibang blog, entertainment site at socmed sa monitor screens sa harap ko.

Malaking balita ang nangyari since involve ang isa sa kinababaliwan ng halos lahat ng kababaihan na si Hans. And what makes it worst is that, Hans haven't speak up about the issue.

Tulog pa ba 'to? It's already pass 10 in the morning. Why he haven't releasing any statement. And why he hasn't picking up my calls!! Dammit.

I picked up my phone and dialled his number again. For the 20th time, and still, he's not picking it up.

Nauubos na 'yung pasensya ko.

I pressed the intercom at the side of my table and summoned Mike, my personal secretary.

Agad naman itong pumasok ng opisina ko bitbit ang mga papeles at kontratang dapat kong basahin at pirmihan, inilapag n'ya ang mga iyon sa ibabaw ng lamesa ko.

"Nakausap mo na ba ang sekretarya n'ya?" pagkaputok palang ng balitang ito, pinatawagan ko na kay Mike ang opisina ni Hans. At since, hot topic nga. Nahirapan din ang team kong kontakin ang opisina nito.

"Yes Sir. He said, the management will going to release a statement regarding with the issue."

"And when will is that?" dapat matapos na ang isyung ito, as soon as possible. Irish is bound to be my bride in less than eight weeks from now. And our engagement will be held two weeks from now. Malaking gulo pag di pa matatapos 'to ngayon.

I hate being drag in this kind of situation. If only... I can bail myself out. Kanina ko pa ginawa.

"Uhm, about that. He refused to answer, Sir." And I'm furious. What the heck!!!

Agad akong tumayo sa kinauupuan ko. Hindi ako maghihintay ng magdamag dito para maresolba ang isyung ito. This should be put at ease.

At ako na ang gagawa 'nun.

"Mike, gather the press. I'm going to make an announcement." And then I barge outside my office.

You'll be dead, Irish.

Irish POV

"Haist!" kaurat na 'tong ginagawa ko huh. Mula paggising ko hanggang ngayong mag-aalas dos na ng hapon eh hindi pa rin ako makapagdecide kung susugalan ko ba ang kontratang 'to.
