37 Boyfriend

SHE FELT at ease when Zedrick straight through on the elevator.

She had a hectic schedule today 'til next week because of the upcoming consecutive gala and peak season. The highlighted artist of the year under their agency was assigned to her. And they asked them to visit for the fitting session.

She didn't expect them ranged on her age. Few from boys are very friendly while the girls are silent or shy. She doesn't care actually, she is more worried about Mrs. Swizz hopes. She wanted her design don't overshadow the beauty of each artist. She is afraid now of which factor she will focus. Her designs are notable as exotic yet elegant, it will pull down the person who can't bear the confidence while wearing it.

She is challenging me again!

"Here are they Miss Majesty," Nicky notified her.

From the glass panel, she watched the eight beauties and gentlemen paraded her new theme. She cocked her head when she noticed something on the visual. All the designs are extravagant but why she felt dry and unsatisfied.

Taliwas sa mga artista na puno ng mangha at pananabik. Bukod sa isang lalaking afro ang buhok at natatakpan ng shades ang mga mata. Ilang beses nitong pinapagpag ang suot, halatang nagpapabatid ng pagkadisguto sa suot nito.

"What are these? You're going to let us wear a trash?"

Ito ang kauna-unahang may dumura sa kanyang mukha. Nanikip ang dibdib niya pero nanatili siyang tikom ang bibig. Sa gilid na si Gatus, Buwachan at Paula ay halatang gustong upakan ang lalaki. Hindi niya masisisi ang tatlo. Sila ang team A na nakatoka para roon.

The guy arrogantly stepped forward before he removed his aviator. When he noticed her recognition his cold eyes feasted on her anguish team. "What kind of service is this? We are not just normal actors and actresses, we are popular and we deserve a high as majesty means to this department." Padarag nitong tinanggal ang suot na coat.

Si Gatus ay hindi na nakapagpigil pa. Aambang susugurin ito pero humarang siya.

"I'll take that as a challenge, Mr. Ken Delos Santos."

Binalya sa balikat niya ng lalaki ang coat bago mag-walk out. Kumabog ang dibdib niya roon. Ang natitirang mga artista ay nabigla, pero ang isa sa babae ay sumunod dito.

"Pasensiya na Miss Majesty sa inasal ni Ken. Noong nakaraan kasi nalaman kong kay Diva dapat kami. Pero mas gusto namin ang sa'yo. Pangarap namin ang makasuot ng mga gawa mo, lalo noong mag-debut ka. Grabe, explicit!" One of the newest female actress complimented her.

Sa likod nito ang natitira pang lalaki at babae.

"Walang manners. Excuse me, pero tangina niya. Okay lang na kami ang awayin, huwag lang si Miss Majesty. Sino ba ang Ken na 'yon?" sabad ni Buwachan.

"Pasensiya na po, ma'am. Sa aming lahat kasi siya ang pinakasikat. Silang dalawa ni Kelly," paliwanag noong isang lalaki.

"Pasensiya na talaga, Miss Majesty."

She had an idea why Ken disliked her. Gusto niyang isipin na marahil ay si Diva talaga ang inaasahan nito at hindi siya.

Nginitian niya ang mga ito. "Honestly, may punto siya. Hindi rin ako naging masaya sa resulta. Give us some time to finalize again. Once we are up, we will call all your attention. Hindi ko kayo bibiguin sa huling pagkakataon na ito."

When they were all settled, she comes up with a meeting on her team. Gatus, Buwachan, and Paula agreed with her opinion but they suggested something different.

"You don't have any more time. Tutulong na kami." The Team B and Team C leader offered.

It was a very pressured and stressful for six hours. All of them are hungry and exhausted. If it wasn't with coffee maybe right now they are all crying. She asked them to go first. And even thank the rest of the team for helping the Team A. She discovered that even if she became cruel and strict with them, still they respect her.

"Go home safe, okay!" She waved at them. Nagtagal pa siya ng kalahating oras para kumparahin ang naunang disenyo sa sumunod.

All the designs are really remarkable. They were all elegant on the dummy but when the artist wears it, the substance lose. Naglaro sa kanyang pandinig ang sinabi ni Mrs. Swizz. Overshadow. What could be the reason? Ken's smug face suddenly flashed on her mind too. Could it be their character while wearing this clothes?

Nilapitan niya ang damit na para kay Ken. Matangkad ang lalaki at may bad boy appeal. Kung pasusuotin ito ng light color ay masyadong contradict. Ang suot nito kanina ay makislap na dark colors. Kung papalitan ng long sleeve silk dark violet ang dapat na coat ay aangat ang character nito.

I get it now. I remember that my designs are normally one-sided. Wear it with confidence even if it doesn't match you. This time, my designs will help the person who will wear it to be noticeable. That was the factor that Mrs. Swizz wanted me to see.

Sinilip niya ang mga profile ng bawat artist at kinumpara ang mga gawa nila. Ilan sa mga luma ay nanatili ngunit nilagyan niya ng kakaibang decoration or twist. Pasado alas onse ng makaramdam ng pagkahilo at antok.

Inayos niya ang napili niyang final dress na may naka-caption na pangalan bago lumabas. She's like a walking zombie on the lobby going through the double door. A luxury car stopped in front of her. From the open passenger glass window, she saw Zedrick inviting her in. She's very tired and tempted so she opened the door and slid in. Her movements were very slow when she put the seatbelt on. She's very sleepy and his familiar scent drove off her thoughts to calm down and closed her eyes.

She literally fell asleep while snoring. Zedrick even respected her and didn't bother when they reach her place. Nagising nalang nang buhatin siya nito.

"Thank you so much. I'm so tired and sleepy, I forgot whom am I with." Dinilat niya ang mga mata habang tinititigang maigi ang sinasandalan niyang dibdib. Nanigas siya nang masalubong ang nag-aalalang mata nito. "Oh, hi!"

Walang itong sinabi. Tahimik lamang siyang dinala sa kanyang kuwarto at marahang hiniga sa kama.

She is expecting him to distance himself from her but why the hell he is still staring back at her. It makes her nervous and stopped breathing.

Katok sa pinto ang nagpahiwalay sa kanila. He attended the maid and took the glass of milk.

She is wondering how he did that. Are they close? How? Since when? Could it be mental telepathy?

"I called her to get ready your milk. It's late and your stomach is empty. Do you always do that?"

"Yeah, it's very late. Uubusin ko lang 'to tapos uuwi ka na." She is too tired to think more of anything. She snatched the milk and drink it straight. It is quite hard every swallowed because she could felt how serious he is as he watched her. Thanks to her soft and warm bed she can dodge his dark and domineering power right now.

Mayabang niyang binalik sa side table ang baso bago huminga nang mas komportable. Kahit pa para siyang masusuka sa ginawa. She smiled weakly but a sincere one. "Thank you. Good night, Zedrick."

Tumalikod siya rito upang hindi makita pa ang malungkot nitong mga mata. Baka kasi pigilan niya ito sa pag-uwi at patabihin nalang sa kanya. She closed her eyes with a belief that Zedrick is her obstruction. When he entered her life again, she lost one element. She is afraid to lose one more.

I need to forget about him. I shouldn't be blinded again. Not again.
