The Secret CEO

Primrose

I paced back and forth from where I'm standing.

"Alam mo, nahihilo na ako sa 'yo, Primrose," reklamo ng taong nakaupo sa kama ko.

Umikot ang aking mga mata bago tumigil at humarap sa mga dress na dinala ni ate Alice sa kwarto ko.

"If I were to choose, I'll pick that one," Loey pointed at the off-shoulder creamy silk dress.

"Since I'm really not in the mood to pick for the party, then I'll go with your choice."

"You're welcome," he chuckled. "You prepared the party for a week, but you're just choosing your dress hours before it."

"Well, I don't have time!" I said, checking the dress that he chose. "Besides, it's not really that hard to pick one."

"It's not really that hard, huh?" he scoffed. "Prim, may I remind you that you've been walking to and from there while staring at those five dresses for hours."

Umirap na lang ako at inayos na ang mga damit. Ewan ko ba bakit si Loey ang tinawag ko para tulungan ako sa pagpili. Si ate kasi, bumalik kaagad sa Empire building! Sana tinulungan niya muna ako o kaya naman isa na lang dinala niya para hindi na ako pumili.

"Well, I also need to prepare now."

I nodded at him, that's why he stood and turned away to walk out my room.

"I've been looking for you! Andyan ka lang pala sa kwarto ni Primrose." Narinig ko ang boses ni Leigh bago tuluyang sinira ni Loey ang pinto.

Tahimik kong pinagmasdan ang aking sarili sa salamin habang nilalagyan ako ng makeup at inaayos ang buhok ko. My gaze landed on ate Alice when she entered the dressing room. And yes, we're inside the SBG's dressing room. The boys got changed first so I can use the room by myself.

Ewan ko ba bakit kailangan akin 'yung buong silid na ito. Para namang ang arte ko, pwede naman sa bahay na lang pero ayaw ni ate Alice! Mas convenient daw dito, eh.

"Mr. Larry was briefed earlier that he'll introduce you using Loey's surname," she informed me.

"Whatever."

She giggled, "Oh come on, after he introduced you, you'll announce your relationship with one of your artists." She tilted her head, assessing my look. "You look stunning, Primrose."

"Mas maganda pa rin ako kapag walang makeup."

Ngumuso ako habang napapa-iling na lang siya sa akin. Totoo naman, para sa akin mas maganda pa rin ako kapag natural lang. I'm really not into makeups and such. Skin care's enough for me.

"I'm excited to hear your speech!"

I rolled my eyes, "I submitted it to you yesterday. Alam mo naman na kung anong sasabihin ko sa harap."

"Kahit na. Ngayon lang kita makikitang magsalita sa maraming tao, kahit na maikli lang naman talaga 'yung sasabihin mo."

My lips formed into a smile. She complained yesterday that my speech doesn't look like one. It's too short and simple. Still, I insisted that's why she couldn't help but just sigh in agreement.

The party is exclusive to those under our company. We made sure that no media people will learn about it. After all, everyone still has a contract and needs to face consequences when they talk about the real CEO, including this event since it's for me.
