Journey With You
Chapter 6: Little by Little

The door opened and a staff informed him that he can proceed to the broadcasting room. Magsisimula na raw ang programa.

"Did you check your account? I transferred the money. But you know the bank has limits right? So I'll give you a check for the remaining amount after the show. If you want to watch my interview, naka-live stream sa YouTube channel nila." He said.

"Okay na ang ngipin mo?" Untag ko. "Tumalab na yung gamot?"

"Nag-aalala ka?" Nanunuyang tanong niya.

"Asa."

"If you're that worried, then stay here and wait for me." He smirked before leaving.

Of course I have to stay. Duh. I need to get the check. I just fished out my phone to watch the interview.

First few minutes into the show and I could not stop myself from rolling my eyes at the comments. The audacity to say  'mine po' as if live selling ang nagaganap.

At kung akala ko sa comments lang ako mauumay, surprise!!! Dahil pati rin pala sa host ng show.

Sven was trying to build up Atlas by skillfully promoting it without being too obvious, but the host kept on throwing questions like "What is your ideal woman? Tinatanong kasi ng mga viewers naten." Which was such a bummer.

"I haven't really given that much thought, but I'll try to think about it and let you know if you invite me for a second appearance." Sven replied, sporting his boyish grin. Nice one. Another appearance means another chance to promote Atlas.

"But you are not dating anyone, right?" The host added. Makulit talaga siya.

"I don't even have time to eat." Sven answered then laughed his way out of the topic. Yes, he doesn't even have time to go to the dentist! I don't get why people are always more curious about a person's romantic life than what they actually do for work or for a hobby.

The interview went on and this time the topic was about the adjustments he had to make when he transitioned as a resort owner to a hotelier. Nagulat pa ako na may resort pala siya sa Subic. I wonder why he's slaving himself as a CEO for another company if he's already rich.

The questions in my head faded to black as he chuckled when the host cajoled him. Sven is charming. Yep. I give him that.

Despite the fact that he can be an awful jerk at times, it's always a treat to hear him wield language like a swordsman who wields his deadliest weapon with flair.

Bumalik siya sa waiting room pagkatapos ng interview, alas dos na ng hapon. Nagrereklamo na ang tiyan ko dahil kape lang at dalawang piraso ng pan de sal ang nakain ko kaninang umaga.

"How was it?" He asked soon as he stepped inside.

"Ang alin?"

"The interview, malamang?"

"Boring." Sagot ko. His brows furrowed at my response. I had fun watching, but I won't tell him that. "Hindi na ba sumasakit ang ngipin mo?"

"Hindi na. I have to get back to the office for a meeting. Let's go."

Palabas na sana siya nang may pumasok sa waiting room. Isang binatang nakasuot ng varsity jacket at may dala pang bouquet ng bulaklak ang ngumiti ng malapad sa kaniya. This guy looked like he was around my age.

"Sven Acosta, my friend!" The guy exclaimed, smiling. "Good luck sa first guesting mo! Nagdala ako ng flowers—"

"Tapos na." Sven cut him off. "Huli ka na. And what's with the fucking flowers?"
