Chapter 13 Risky Desicion

Chapter 13 The risky decision

ALICE POV

I plopped into the ground clutching my cellphone. My heart is pounding so fast which I thought it might explode. My throat felt dry. I have not yet decided to whom will I choose. Will I choose Nigel? That asshole who broke my heart but he still was my bestfriend or John? An arrogant narcissistic actor but I know deep inside his stoic heart hides this kind personality within him it just needs to be awakened or unlocked.

With trembling hands, I dialled Nigel's number.

"Nigel?" I stammered.

"Alice? I take that as a yes. Let's meet at--" he sounded cheerful but I immediately cut him off.

"I'm sorry Nigel.." Then i pressed the end button.

I sighed. I hope my decision is right.

JOHN SY's POV

After she sprinted out of the room, I immediately ran after her. Thinking my move as a mistake, I crept behind the ladies restroom.

"Nigel, I told you to stop bugging me--" she shouted.

Oh, Nigel is the reason why she left me at the room.. I hated him more, Last time it's Elisse and now Alice?! How dare that son of a b*tch.

Then I heard nothing but the heavy breathing of Alice. I walked away so she will not catch me eavesdropping.

"What happened?" Mr. D asked.

"Her aunt called." I immediately lied.

"The presscon will start in a few, get ready."

"Okay.."

*click*

The knob turned and it revealed a strenuous Alice.

"Bad day?" I asked.

"A bad life actually." She frowned.

"I know something to cheer you up." I pushed the door and started to run.

"WAIT JOHN THE PRESSCON IS--"

"Relax babe, I'll be back in a minute." I winked at her.

I found myself outside the building and ran towards an ice cream shop. People were looking at me..

Oh crap I forgot to disguise. I covered my face with my hankerchief and went straight to the cashier.

"Do you have a chocolate flavored ice cream?"

"Of course sir, here it costs P289.00 and if you'll allow please sign my shirt please." her eyes twinkled.

"My pleasure." I winked at her.

"Oh holy cow I still can't believe you're talking to me." She blabbered.

I just smirked at her and left not expecting a huge crowd in hysteria waiting for me.

"I LOVE YOU JOHN!"

"MARRY ME JOHN!"

I cursed mentally. Keep yourself together John.

"Girls, I really would like to stay but I'm in a hurry. If you'll excuse me.." I flashed them a wide smile.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Of course John!!!"

I barely got out alive. Phew. And now I'm sweaty all over. 😑

I ran back inside the building and extended my hand to Alice.

"What is that?"

"An ice cream! Let's eat this after the presscon!" I grinned at her.

She smiled widely. And because of that, I fought the urge to kiss her because she is too cute.

"Thank you!" She beamed at me.

"No problem girlfriend!" I winked.

"John, Alice the presscon is already starting let's go!" Mr. D yelled.

"Let's go Alice?"

She nodded and I held her hand walking towards the room full of reporters.

The presscon was exactly as I expected. The reporters asked us the basic questions of our relationship. I answered most of the questions and Alice just smiled at the reporters.

"Ms. Alice, according to our sources, we found out that you are currently working for Mr. Nigel Ocampo. Is John jealous that you work for him?"

Alice paled so I answered the question.

"Of course not, I have faith in my girlfriend and we are all professionals aren't we?"

The reporters nodded, buying the act and convinced in all our answers. I glanced at Alice again, she is straightly looking at something, shit no, it's--

ALICE POV

The presscon is going well according to the plan. I avoided the questions and let John answer them.

"Ms. Alice, according to our sources, we found out that you are currently working for Mr. Nigel Ocampo. Is John jealous that you work for him?"

As I opened my mouth to say something. I saw someone glaring at me. It's like someone was throwing daggers at me.

And I saw Nigel in the middle of the sea of reporters.

I paled. Our eyes stuck looking at each other.

His eyes drifted from my eyes to my hands which was held by John.

Shit.
