Candelaria, Quezon
Sunshine becomes even more unfocus upon confirming that she indeed lost the engagement ring. Benji on the other hand notices the sudden change in her mood.
“Are you alright?” Benji asked. “You look very agitated, gusto mo na bang umuwi” he said
“Ok lang ako Benji, iniisip ko lang yung discussion ko with Beverly tomorrow” Sunshine replied
“I’m sorry” Benji said
“Why are you apologizing?” Sunshine asked
“I’m sorry for refusing to join you in your discussion with Beverly. I was too insensitive. If you really wanted me to come with you, then sasamahan kita” Benji said and Sunshine forces herself to give him her sweetest smile as she does not want him to know the reason of her restlessness.
“Are you sure you are joining me on the discussion on the contract amendments?” Sunshine asked
“I actually feel awkward to be there, because as much as possible I don’t want to meddle with the decisions regarding your career. That is one of the spaces that I am giving you. I wanted you to freely decide about it. But if you think I could help you on that, I will be very much willing to support you my starlight” Benji replied
“I will be more comfortable if you come with me. Besides, the invitation came from Beverly” Sunshine said
“Are you sure you wanted to stay here sa Pilipinas instead of Paris? Remember it has been your home for more than five years” Benji said
“Paris is just my second home Benji, Candelaria is still my home because this is where my loves ones are” Sunshine replied
“We can bargain for once in a while show outside the country, para naman hindi ka masyadong ma-bore dito or sa Manila” Benji suggested
“Yeah, that can be arranged” Sunshine replied
“By the way, I am serious about the ‘no revealing outfit and male models in the shoot’, in case you wanna know” Benji said
“I doubt if Beverly would not haggle on that. Ngayon pa lang Zandra’s is considering the renewal my endorsement contract for them” Sunshine said
“Zandra’s can be an exemption. I do not worry about them because I know I can talk to Jasper about that part” Benji said
“Wow ang lakas ng loob mong mag-demand kay Jasper ngayon, samantalang dati halos ayaw mo syang makita” Sunshine said laughing
“Malay ko ba kasing si Katrina ang pinupuntirya nun” Benji replied.
“Sa tingin mo hindi kaya ako mahirapan na pagsabayin ang modeling, Sinagtala at studies. Baka malunod ako, mapabayaan ko lahat” Sunshine asked
“I will help you in managing Sinagtala, while you can enroll in an on-line course. Just ask Beverly to take it easy with the project that she will give you. Kaya ng ilalagay natin sa clause na priority mo ang studies mo eh” Benji replied
“See sa ganitong discussion pa lang ang dami mo nang inputs what more kung kaharap na si Beverly, I’m sure mas marami ka pang masasabi” Sunshine said
“But the final decisions should still come from you. I will only state my opinion but if you will not agree with it, you are free to oppose” Benji said
“I’ll take note of that” Sunshine replied
Until the end of the working day, Sunshine was not able to gain traces of the engagement ring. She already accepted the fact that she lost it. What she is worried now is how shall she disclose it to Benji.
