The Lies Between Us (Lie Series #1)

TLBU #24

"Anong ginawa mo Elli?" Kuya Marcus was scowling at the side of the pool.

I rolled my eyes and drank the mango shake I'm holding. Nagrerelax ako sa swimming pool sa baba ng condo ko tapos mapapagalitan pa yata ako ni Kuya.

Pinadyak ko ang paa ko habang nakasakay sa inflatable unicorn pool float, wearing a two piece red swimsuit.

"Cancel the contract Kuya. I don't want to do it. I'll pay for the damages."

Bumuntonghininga siya at naupo sa sun lounger. His looking at me like he was bored with my dramas in life.

"Hindi ganun kadali yun Elli. Alam mo kung gaano katagal nating pinagpaguran ang pagtayo ulit ng kompanya niyo. What if a news come out that we can easily cancel a contract anytime we want without a valid reasons, what do you think our other clients will think of us?" He seriously stated.

I pouted and gave him a sharp look. "Magkakapersonalan lang kami. Kahapon nga lang 'di ko na napigilan e. Bwisit siya Kuya."

Umiling siya at tumayo. "Just do the job Elli. Dad will be home soon. H'wag na nating pasakitin ang ulo niya." He said and walked out on me.

Isa talaga sa goal ko this year ay ang hanapan ng girlfriend ang Kuya ko para hindi puro ako ang nakikita niya.

Last night, I searched about MoonLight Records. Levi is the owner and CEO of that company. He achieved a lot of awards and called one of the youngest successful CEO.

SouthWest is really popular today and I can't understand why they need our company for the promotion of the band.

As I was busy scrolling in some pictures of Levi in an event, one picture caught my full attention. It was Levi with a girl holding into his arm. They were smiling widely at the camera. The girl looks like a korean idol with chinita eyes, pink soft cupid lips, straight long black hair, curvy body and a porcelain skin, para na siyang white lady tapos naka white gown pa siya. Walang sense of fashion si ate ghorl.

Kim Jihyo, daughter of Korean tycoon Kim Ji-hun, spotted with Levi Isaias Solarez, CEO of MoonLight Records, in a charity event at Shangri-la Hotel Makati.

They were rumored that they were in a relationship because the two was spotted traveling in Korea together. There were also reports that her father Kim Ji-hun invested in MoonLight Records.

After that short article on their photo in an event, I saw their other pictures during their stay in Korea.

No wonder why Levi love her, she's beautiful and rich. Hindi na ko magugulat kung niloloko lang din nila ang pamilya ng babaeng 'to.

"Beks saang lupalop ka na ba ng Pilipinas at napakatagal mo? Nalulusaw na ang ka-dyosahan ko dito." I can't help but to rolled my eyes as I was busy parking my car.

"Kalma lang beks, mamaya may makarinig sa'yo dyan. Nasa parking lot na ko. The Garden Resto, right?"

"Yes. Please hurry up. Naglipana ang mga haliparot sa paligid ko. Nandidiri ako sa mga tingin nila sa'kin."

Natawa na lang ako at nagmadaling puntahan ang restaurant kung saan kami magkikita.

And when I entered the restaurant, I instantly saw one of my bestfriend Max. I run to him and hugged him tight.

"I miss you so much." I said.

"Parang tyansing na yan beks. Maghunos dili ka."
