Im Inlove With Mr. Celebrity [ COMPLETED]

Chapter 3: Paparazzi

Charles's POV

My phone has been ringing for almost an hour now, and I'm not answering any of them. I'm sure it's just going to stress me out.

It could be either a rumor, scandal, or bullshit, so it is a no-thank-you business for me.

I'm eating ice cream in my living room while playing video games.

It's me off today. I deserve a whole day of rest.

It's so tiring to smile and interact with people at work that I don't even want to breathe the same air.

Napahinto lang ako sa paglalaro nang tumunog ang pinto ko.

Tumayo ako, thinking it was finally the food that I ordered, but it was Jolo that I saw when I opened the door.

"What?"

I asked.

"Your sister asked me to go here."

I figured.

"What is the problem of that granny this time?"

Pinapasok ko si Jolo sa loob at pinaupo sa sofa.

"Are you ready, Sir?"

"Ready for what?"

Kunot noo kong tanong.

Jolo coughed to clear his throat na para bang bumubwelo at ilang segundo pa nga ay bigla na siyang nagsisisigaw.

"Lagi mo nalang kaming biibigyan ng problema! Are you really born with that talent? You just had a scandal last month, and here you go again with another one! Fix this, or you will be dead to me. I'm not kidding this time! You are making me sick, Charles Claveria."

Jolo shouted, imitating my sister.

He's good.

He should be the one acting and not me.

"That's what she said, Sir."

Kalmado nang sabi niya.

"I don't think it's necessary to imitate her, but thanks."

My ears almost stopped working.

"But a scandal? What is it?"

I haven't done anything that will trigger any scandal, as far as I know.

"Oh, here. A photo of you with a girl in mascot is spreading on the internet."

Jolo showed me the photos.

Some shots were of me holding her hand and where I was so close to her.

They can obviously make up stories with these photos, but I was not holding her hand. I was dragging her as I was mad.

"People think it is not a coincidence that you are that girls seem to be in a hidden costume."

I can agree.

'I'm wearing an all-black outfit that will surely hide my identity while she's wearing a mascot.

I wouldn't make that kind of effort to see a girl in real life. It's delusional, and it only happens in fictional dramas.

I'm not interested.

"Your sister wants to know if she is your girlfriend."

"Damn, no. I don't even know that girl."

Jolo brought out a notepad from his bag and started writing something.

"How can you explain that photo?"

"Are you doing an official interview on me right now?"

"Yes, Sir."

Jolo nodded.

"It's my day off. I don't want to do it. You need to leave."

"Would you prefer your sister to interview you?"

"Is that a threat?"

Tanong ko at umilin naman siya."

"That girl spilled her juice on me. Some people were chasing me at the same time, so I had no choice but to drag her down on that small place."

Pagpapaliwanag ko.

"Then?"

"That's it."

"Why are you so close to each other?"

"I don't even know."

"We are in trouble."

Komento niya.

"Why?"

"You're answers are not enough to make people believe you."

Bullshit.

People believe what they want to believe.

"Just don't say anything. I'm sure it will go away."

"That's correct, but you have an upcoming project, and this scandal is the last thing we need right now."

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako.

"Make it Riannes problem. She's my manager. That's her job."

"I will relay that message to her.

"Hey! That's not what I mean."

Paniguradong tatapusin ako kaagd nun kapag sinabi ko yun sa harap niya o kaya naman malaman niyang sinabi ko.

"It was just a photo of misunderstanding. I'm sure my fan knows me well, and they would be able to tell that the girl is not even my type."

"Type is just an idea, Sir Charles."

"Not for me. I get who and what I want."

Hindi na sumagot si Jolo sa sinabi ko.

"Ms. Rianne told me to tell you not to go out until further notice from her. That's it, Sir Charles. I will just come back here soon."

"Don't"

I answered.

Jolo just smiled at me and left.

I wonder where he gets all of his patience with my sister's temper and my attitude.

He should get a big raise.

I got him.
