Your Perfect Leading Man (HIATUS)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

HINDI mapakali si Micha sa silyang kinauupuan habang hinihintay ang pagdating nang direktor na si Ronald Geronimo-ang direktor na kasalukuyang humahawak sa movie na ibinigay sa kanya nang management.

Matapos kasi ang usapan nila ni Chairman Galang, sinabihan sya nito na agad kausapin ang Direktor para tanungin ito kung sang ayon din ito na gawing male lead si Eyvan.

Kinakabahan man sa maaaring mangyari, pero alam ni Micha na hindi sya aalis nang hindi nakukumbinsi ang director.

Kung kailangan niyang gamitan nang convincing skill ang director, gagawin nya. Basta lang pumayag ito na si Eyvan ang gawing male lead nang movie.

Micha's gaze drop at the door beside her when she heard it ticks, and then a man in the late 40's entered the office, while looking at her.

By how the man walks, she can tell that he was a little bit-soft, maybe. Mukha itong malambot.

The man sat at his swivel chair, infront of the table. "You can sit here." anito, na siya ang tinutukoy, kaya naman mabilis syang tumayo at nilapitan ito.

She sat on the chair infront of his table,before releasing a smile. "Good afternoon po." aniya, sa mababa at malambot na tono.

"Good afternoon too. I heard from my secretary that you are referred here by Chairman Galang himself. What can I do for you? What do you want to talk with me?" He quickly asked Micha.

Micha sighed deeply. "Sir—I mean, Direk. I am Michaela Angeles, nakapasa po ako sa audition na isinagawa nang SVM net. Chairman Galang and I already talked about this, and He even said yes tho, He's waiting for your response too. And, I am hoping to hear a positive reply from you." may bahid nang kabang tanong nya sa Direktor na kaharap. Alam ni Micha na wala nang itong atrasan, at kahit anong kaba pa ang maramdaman nya, alam niyang kailangan nyang labanan 'yon para kay Eyvan. Para sa career nito.

The Direktor's lashes twitched before opening his mouth to speak. "What reply are you waiting? And What question should I be answering?" He asked, with a serious face.

Micha took a deep breath before smiling, sweetly. She will use her charm to convince him. She'll do her best. "Direk, As I know. I have the previledge of choosing my preferred leading man for the project you'll be giving me, and as a fresh star, I want a leading whose well-skilled in this industry. A man whose strong and skilled enough to handle me, a professional one." She mumbled, and she's about to smile seeing the director whose seriously listening at her saying. "I want a man whose powerful for me. And that is..." I gulped and breath in again. Then breath out. "Eyvan Marlo Samaniego. I want Eyvan to be my leading man." She continued.

Micha saw how the Director's forehead knot. He also blinked several times, before looking at her with a hint of fun in his eyes. "Iha, are you sure? Or did you hear yourself? Si Eyvan ba talaga ang sinabi mo, o sadyang nalito ka lang?" anito sa kanya.

Nginitian itong muli ni Micha bago sumagot. "Hindi po ako nagkamali, at hindi po kayo nagkamali nang rinig. Si Eyvan po ang gusto ko. He's a professional, and He also got a lot of awards already in Acting and Singing. He even excel in Dancing, and He's nice—"

"He isn't, Iha." Putol naman ng direktor sa pananalita ni Micha. Impit itong tumawa, bago nagpatuloy sa pagsalita. "He isn't nice at all. Hindi ka ba updated sa nangyayari ngayon sa career nya? He was already ruined. His career was also in ruins. And that's because of his not good character. He is not a respectable person, and He's not worthy enough to be paired with a fresh face like you." The director said, that made Micha's hope slowly dies.

But No! She'll never give up. Hindi sya titiklop. Hindi sya aalis hangga't hindi nya napipilit ang lalaki.

Micha released a much sweeter smile. "Sir,we both know that It was all just an issue. There's no proof—"

"Lyanne herself is already a proof of Eyvan's awful character. So don't push it, Iha." He said.

Micha shook her head. "No. Look Sir, Eyvan is a talented actor, among all the fresh male stars right now, He's the most qualified for the role. Yes, he has issues right now, but we can use those for the project to have more impact towards the people. We can use that to get more people's attention right?" She mumbled.

The Director shook his head again, "My answer is still no. I don't want my directed movie to be in ruins too because of Eyvan. So, Miss Angeles, I'll consider this meeting done. If you don't want to—"

"How can I change your decision regarding this matter? Can I do something?" She asked. It's now or never, so, She'll try her luck.

The director frowned. "Are you trying to bribe me with —"

"Yes! I mean, how can Eyvan make you choose him in this project?" She asked. "Anything. If he can, then you will give him the role, but if he didn't, then I'll accept your opinion." As if she'll accept it.

The director let out a creepy smile. "You really wanted to help Eyvan, rise again I see." He commented. "Fine. I have a proposition." He said, and Micha quickly waited and listened at what He's going to say. "I'll let Eyvan play the role, but He needs to have a manager for himself, and a successful mall tour. Successful means no bashing, and hates for him. Kapag nagawa nya yon,tatanggapin ko sya. Pero kung hindi, sorry but I'll stick for Seth Alfamre to take the lead. That's my proposition. Accept it or not?" He asked.

Micha knew that It has a 25 percent for his preposition to happen, but she know that She'll do her very best to help Eyvan. With that, she quickly released a smile.

"Okay. I'll accept it." She said. "Now, until when is the duration of your proposition?" She asked.

The director smiled creepily even more. "I'm only giving you and Him two weeks to make the two proposition. So, goodluck." The director said and left him.

Nang maiwang mag isa sa opisina nang direktor ,Micha breathe in and out.

Ngayon na may pagkakataon na, hindi na nya yon papakawalan. Kailangan nyang gawin ang makakaya nya. She will do anything for him. For his idol, Eyvan.
