"Hey, Yasha Reese! Don't fill your cart! You are the one who's wasting my money here!" Aishi complained and I just rolled my eyes because of what she said. She's really a complainer.
Is it my fault that she volunteered? Okay, she got her salary today and since she wanted to treat me, she brought me here in the mall and told me to buy whatever I want. I am just doing what she told me and now that my cart was filled with stuff, she's complaining.
"Why did you volunteer in the first place? Now, you're complaining?" I glared at her.
"I am telling you, when I lose money because of you, I will stay in your condo!" She hissed, emphasizing each word.
"Don't worry, the road is wide. You can stay there if you want, it's free," I responded, sounding seriously.
"Whatever! You have no heart!" She shouted at me but I didn’t bother to listen at her nags. She won't be losing money anyway. As if.
Well, she's Aishi Joanna, my dearest best friend. In addition, she's also my manager. Aside from being a model, I actually own a restaurant and in that restaurant, Aishi is my co-owner and my chef. Our roles are in a vice versa situation though. She is my boss when we are in the agency but I am her boss whenever we were at my restaurant.
Going back to the scenario we are in at this moment, because I am her great best friend, I kept adding the contents of my cart while pushing it. She told me it's her treat then let her pay for it. Like a witch, I mentally laughed with that thought. After paying the things we bought, most of which was mine, I accompanied her to withdraw in the bank.
I may sound rude best friend, well I was really rude when it comes to her, Aishi can do nothing. She's used to my rude behavior though but she knows how much I love her. I am just being this way because I'm comfortable with her.
Since we don't want to go home yet, we decided to stay still in this mall. We then headed to the third floor after that. Suddenly, some media press run at our direction.
"Can we talk to you Miss Yasha?" My forehead furrowed when one of the reporters asked me that.
"Ah, excuse me guys, we are here to hang out. So if it's okay, please give us the privilege to make this day as an ordinary one. Not right now, please?" Aishi told them, sounded pleadingly.
As my manager, the thing Aishi really hates the most is when media will suddenly interview me without it being scheduled and without her permission.
"Just this once Miss Aishi, we will just ask her something," a guy wearing thick eyeglasses insisted and if I am not mistaken, he is also a reporter.
Aishi was about to stop them but I stopped her immediately.
"It's okay. What is it?" I asked the reporters politely. For sure they will not stop until I speak up so might as well do it.
"Is it true that you were already engaged?"
Feeling shock because of what I have heard, my eyes bulged wide. "What?" I asked. Aishi asked the same thing. In fact, we asked that in unison. Like what the hell? Where did on the gorgeous earth that news came from?
"You were the talk of the netizens in the social media Miss Yasha, so we are asking you now if it's a legit?" the reporter asked again.
"Of course not," I immediately refused, now feeling confused.
I do not have a boyfriend. I never entertained suitors as well. Now they're telling me I'm engaged? Seriously?
Soon the media in front of me were in turmoil. Gosh! Why did the numbers of media suddenly increase?
"Who's this person being linked to your name, Miss Yasha?" Reporters asked. All of them looked so eager to know the truth.
"I really don't know what you are talking about," I answered dumbfounded. I was really clueless.
"But Miss Yasha, that's what they say in the news. Your fans club is already in turmoil," explained by the reporter 1. And my mind is in turmoil as well, I wanted to say that but I kept it myself.
"We just want to hear the truth coming from you," and here's the Reporter 2.
Now, they were throwing me different and random questions. I was really clueless right now. I don't know what they are talking about to be honest.
Suddenly, a reporter approached me and even grabbed my arm aggressively. "Miss Yasha, are you really engaged?" I tried to get away from this reporter but I can't do anything because everyone is now trying to get my answer.
I already told them that I am not engaged but why they are still insisting that? Damn that question. Damn that news. I wasn't engaged. Argh! It was just a fake news for I know. Why would I be engaged? To whom? Where, and when l, and how did it happen, where in fact I have no lovelife at all?
"I guess you need to go now. I will handle them," Aishi spoke softly to me and I have no other choice but to run away from these reporters.
When I found my way out, I immediately run off but some of them are chasing me, not only the reporters but also the other people who already saw me — my fans.
"Oh my God, guys! Miss Yasha is here!"
"Miss Yasha, wait!" Damn, I'm doomed.
You see, I am a model and celebrity. I love modeling and enjoyed my celebrity life, but the thing I hate the most about it? It's when my personal life is being affected. I know it's inevitable for me to experience this but I do need my privacy, too.
I was doing a half run already because I was being chased by the media and my fans. If it wasn't because of the heels I am wearing, I might have been away from here already. Gosh!
Because of my running, I did not realize that I was on the ground floor already. Oh people! Please, leave me alone for now. My foot is already hurting!
While still running, I didn't realize the car in front of me. All I heard was a loud honk which filled my ears and all I did was to scream in fright.
"Ahhhhhhh!" My eyes got dazzled because of the light coming from that car. Terrified, I lose my balance causing me to be rooted on the floor, sitting pitifully. I closed my eyes as my heart is beating so fast and loud. Please, please, I don't want to die yet. I don't want to die here. I'm too young to die."Miss Yasha!" I heard the shouts of people running toward me. They sounded worried.I slowly opened my eyes and I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that I'm still alive. I checked my whole body and thanks God, I am still alive."Miss, are you okay?" a guy who almost bumped me came out of his car. He sat to level his position on me and held my arm, maybe to check if I am okay, but I didn't answer him. I stood up and went inside his car instead."Oh God!" I breathe heavily when I sat inside. I thought I'm going to die today, but I am thankful to this guy. Even though he almost bumped me, he was of help, at least. Because of him, I was able to ge
Since I'm curious, I ended up the call to open my account but geez, why it can't be opened? What happened? Why does it not want to open? I called Aishi again."Can't open it Aishi," I told her.[I will send you the pictures. Just wait.] Then she turned off the call.I looked outside the car. It's getting dark already. If earlier, I don't wanna go home. Now, I want to be at home at least.I looked at my phone again when it rang, but it wasn't my phone. Soon I realized that it belonged to this guy. Why do we have the same ringtone anyway? And the hell I care about that?"Mom," he said upon answering the call.[My God, son! Why did you lie to us?] Her mom, I think, wailed."What are you talking about Mom?" He asked curiously. Though, I can only him side view, his forehead was already crumpled.Okay, I am not eavesdropping to their conversation. It's just that his phone was placed on the dashboard and is set on a loudspeaker tone, and I'm
"YOU?" I asked him unbelievably. He's the guy who tagged me with that post? Seriously? Tell me, is this some kind of joke?"Stop shouting, will you?" He shot back, sounded annoyed. Agh!"You stupid idiot! Why the hell are you doing this to me, huh?" I furiously asked him. He turned to me and his eyebrows almost turned to a one single straight line."I don't know what you are talking about, woman!" He growled at me."You don't know? Then what's the meaning of this?" Losing my patience, I handed him my phone and showed him the picture then I heard him cussed softly."Fuck! I guess this is what my Mom says." He spoke softly and leaned back in his chair.So, that's it? That's just it?"Hey! Aren't you going to do something?" I yelled at him. This guy is really getting into my nerves now."What do you want me to do?" He an
This guy continued driving and I didn't bother to stop him from what he's planning. I will let his conscience kill him if he does something bad to me.Minutes of driving, I just realized that he turned on the left road and we passed by in a subdivision and minutes later, a large house appeared in front of us... that kind of a literal big house.The gate automatically opened then he parked his car at the garage and one of their maids approached us."Good evening Sir Axis," an old woman greeted this guy beside me and he just nodded."Good evening too Ma'am," she greeted me too when she noticed me and gave me a sweet smile."Good evening," I politely answered back. I do have some respect too. I'm just really rude when it comes to Aishi. Oh well, let's include this Axis as well.I looked at him when he walked inside the big house. He didn't even wait for me. Tss. What am I expecting from a guy like him?"My God, Axis! Why didn't you tell us that
I had a dinner with Axis' family that night and had a short talk with them after that. Good thing they didn't ask me random questions while having a conversation with them because if that happens, I swear, it would be awkward knowing that it was the first time I met them. They just keep on complimenting me, that they were happy that I am their son's fiancee, their future daughter-in-law.After that conversation, they told me that their two guest rooms were not available yet because they had old things there and had not cleaned it yet. So Aunt Ally and Uncle Fordee told me to stay inside Axis' room and the worst thing is, they told us that it is okay for them if we make their grandchildren already. Seriously?Geez! Geez! Geez! How many times do I have to tell them that there is nothing between me and that stupid idiot Axis?"You! This was all your fault! If it was not because of that stupid post of yours, we would not be in this situation!" I can't help but to
I slowly opened my eyes until an unfamiliar things welcomed me. When all my senses awaken, that's the only time when I realized I was in another room.Another room? I quickly stood up because of that realization. Where am I? What am I doing here? I roamed my eyes in this room. I even hit my head, trying to remember things as to how I got here."Hitting your head when you woke up? You look crazy," I quickly turned my attention to the person who spoke. My two eyes widened.It was Axis! Crap. So, I am not dreaming? Yeah, I guess I am not really dreaming because it was real... my real nightmare... And Axis is that nightmare.I narrowed my eyes on him while he was leaning on the window frame close to the bed with his arms crossed. I didn't even notice him when I woke up.Wait... as far as I remember, I slept on the couch. How come that I woke up in this bed? And don't tell me he's watching me the w
"Mommy, that's not true!" Still, I denied."Tone down your voice Yasha Reese Heuson," Daddy disobeyed me. I sighed heavily, then I faced him."Daddy, that's not really true," my voice is almost pleading. Why they can't believe in me?"Sweetie, there is nothing wrong with that, okay?" Mommy's tone weakened and then she approached me and made me sit on the couch beside them. "I will be more glad hearing that you're engaged already. You're not getting any younger, Yasha. You need to settle down yourself now." She expressed while fixing some strands of my hair but what she uttered caused me to close my eyes.I'm actually getting tired of explaining everything here and there, yet they won't believe me in the end."Mommy you know me. I have no time to think about my lovelife. And for Pete's sake, I just turned 25 last month. I am still busy with my modeling career, with the showbiz industry and in my restaurant. So please believe me this time, I am not
"What the hell do you want?" I asked him as I sat on the chair in front of him. My eyes is automatically burning in fire now"You?" His eyes widened in shock when he realized that it was me. I just rolled my eyes. "I didn't know that you own this restaurant," he said in awe as he roam his eyes in the whole place."Now that you already knew that I own it, does my restaurant has something to do with you?" With his mere presence here, my blood starts to boil again. This guy went near me, bent a little and leveled his head on the side of my ear and whispered something."Relax there, woman," then he smirked at me and seriously, I wanna punch that smirk on his face."Kyaaaaah!" I heard the screams of the customers. "The news is really legit.""They're a good match.""They look so lovely together."I want to puke because of what I'm hearing. They thought Axis is doing a sweet gesture towards me. They didn't know that we're just exchangi
