Sandra tilted her head as she stared at the closed door in confusion. "Seriously?" she mumbled disbelievingly. She was expecting it to happen, but it still hurts her ego that it actually happened. Sighing, she shook her head. Her eyes then lingered on the door for a few more seconds before turning her heels around to leave. But she abruptly halted when she saw who was standing just a few steps away and watching her. "That was quiet a show," Carmina chuckled. Amusement was very evident in her face as if she'd just witnessed a crime scene that she could use against her beloved enemy. Sandra rolled her eyes, hiding the embarrassment she suddenly felt thinking someone had to see it. And of all people, she couldn't believe as to why it has to be the one she loves to hate. Just great. She grunted inwardly. Her eyebrows arched as she looked straight into Carmina's eyes who was staring intently at her, studying her reaction while one of the eyebrows arched up to the ceiling. She then flip
“Why?” Mr. Park asked, incredulously. Sebastian raked his hair then shrugged, “I cannot handle two names. That will be weird seeing Sebastian Lee and Phoenix collaborated when they are both me,” he explained trying to pin point his main problem. Mr. Park laughed, looking very amused as ever that made him frowned deeper. He didn't like how his boss sees it as a funny reason. “I have not thought of that,” Mr. Park chortled. “I'm going to talk to Sandra about that then. But don't expect that your secret will be safe with me when she asked for your reason” He mentally cursed. That's what he's fucking afraid of. He didn't want anyone, especially that Sandra Mendez to know he's Phoenix, for a simple reason that he didn't trust her. She's very influential and her words were well trusted by general public, as though when she says 'It's not true', they will easily believe it even there's an evidences of it being true. He wanted to live peacefully without something to think about, except f
Sandra monitored every clips in Bammie's music video and as perfectionist as she was, nothing, even the littlest mistakes slid pass in her scrutinizing eyes. Her brows deeply furrowed while her whole attention was extremely focused on the screen. "It's lame," she commented after she finished watching the last clip. "Bammie shouldn't cry. The song was full of love with no heartache or whatsoever negative words in the lyrics. Why the heck was she crying in that video?" she scowled making the staffs startled for it was actually the first time they've seen her losing temper.Sandra Mendez was known as strict, but very composed person. She never gets irritated nor angry easily whenever her subordinates and staffs made a mistake whether it's a small or huge that may ruin their company. She's always as calm as she takes everything lightly. She's rational and never scolded anyone but rather encourage them to do well the next time instead. That's why the staffs couldn't hide their bewilderment
Sebastian settled himself comfortably on the chair near the glass wall of the cafeteria, as he sipped his favorite strawberry frappuccino while waiting for the sun to set. He could say that it was the only place in the Empire building that can quite relax him. It used to be his studio tho, but for some effing reason, that supposed haven of his suddenly became his stress extractor. He clicked his tongue as he thought about it. Then, his eyes landed on the people hurling outside the building, patiently waiting to have a glimpse of their favorite artist's presence. Shaking his head, he cringed. He really can't understand why those people were doing that. Was a freaking glimpse of the artists' presence worth the long and exhausting wait? They're not even sure if they will see those they've been waiting for. It's like waiting for the bird that once stayed on the attic of their house and left the other day without them knowing if it's going to come back or not anymore. He was busy watching
Sandra's phone rang and immediately excused herself after dropping the bomb to Sebastian, which made the latter felt quite relieved that he has time to calm himself and think of ways to avoid the topic. "Ride or die is yours?" Jamaica suddenly quiried that made Sebastian jumped a little from his seat. He was too engrossed of breathing in and out, he forgot that he was not alone in the table after Sandra left for awhile to take the call outside. Instantaneously, his face became tomato out of shame. He couldn't even take a look on her. Jamaica though, just watched him with her usual blank expression and quickly asked a follow up question. "You're Phoenix, right?" she protruded. It was too damn straight to the point, that it felt like a hammer hit him straight in the face without giving him any warning signals. No sugarcoating, no going around the bushes. It was their first interaction, but somehow, she didn't seem hesitant to ask for confirmation of who he was. Unlike Sandra, whom did
“Why are you so agitated about it? Sandra can keep a secret,” Levi chuckled after Sebastian told him what happened the last night.Sebastian, on the other hand, shook his head then ruffled his hair in frustration. He wasn't able to sleep well, thus, he was not in the mood to joke around with Levi. “Did you just come here this early for that, Levi?” he narrowed his eyes on his friend, “Or were you with them to set me up that night and used our CEO?” he asked, full of accusation in his voice. Levi laughed, “Silly. I don't use people,” he shook his head, “Sandra happened to mention having dinner with you last night, so, I woke up early and went here to know the details from you,” he grinned.“Why not ask her instead?” “I want it to hear from you” Sebastian shook his head in disbelief but didn't probe more. He just finished off his coffee and stayed silent for a moment. It's only six thirty in the morning. Usually, he goes to work at eight, but since he woke up at three a.m and wasn't
Sebastian wasn't surprised when he'd heard of the news about another dating rumor of Sandra Mendez. It only made him sick of hearing her name every freaking time, everywhere. And even his annoying brother could not be of any help, for his big mouth never shuts about her. "No! My sister! Why did you allow Dominic Chua back! No!" Simon whined, kneeling in front of the television as if the woman could see nor hear his plea."Stop it, idiot" Sebastian reprimanded.Simon though, didn't faze for he didn't actually heard Sebastian since he was too busy sulking and crying over the rumor. "Is it true though?" Yohan inquired Levi, who was unusually calm and just silently watched the news, not minding Simon almost harboring the television."Sandra Mendez is really a good catch. If I were one of her ex-boyfriend, I won't let her go and will tie a knot with right away" Damon stated while laughing making his eyes disappeared.Sebastian grimaced upon hearing his friend, "Since when you'd become li
Sandra's eyebrows raised when Bammie tilted her head and smiled mischievously at Sebastian "So, you're.. Sebastian Lee," she said then extended her goddess-like hand on him, offering a handshake.Sebastian gladly accepted it and gave the singer pleasantries, which made Bammie felt really pleased as she looked at Sandra with a knowing grin. "You don't seem bad at all. No wonder Sandra likes you," she said, raising her eyebrows on her bestfriend.Sebastian's forehead creased, not knowing what to reply on that statement. He stared at the singer and saw her grinning at the woman sitting on the other side of the office. He purposely ignored her and acted as if he didn't see her there and just focused his attention on Bammie. Meanwhile, Sandra was just silently watched them converse. She's well aware that the guy was trying to ignore her presence inside the office. She's not offended though. In fact, she's amazed how consistent Sebastian was for avoiding her, even if he's inside her turf.
