Miggy's POV
I couldn't understand why as we got closer to where we were going I got even more nervous and sweaty from the cold. But as much as possible, I don't let Meynard know, maybe because I don't know what else to think.
"Kuya? Are you okay?" he wondered.
"Is this what I'm saying? I'm trying to keep it from being noticed but for him to notice," I whispered to myself.
"Huh? Of course. Why? "
"Eh, you seem so uneasy. Does your tongue hurt because the grain makes you sweat? Man, oh! At the same time, he pointed his right hand at the side of my head while his left was holding the steering wheel.
I excused myself, "No, it's just hot."
"Huh? It's still hot for you, the ac is full, oh, it's as if I'm going to get stiff here while driving, "he complained.
"Oh is that so? Is that full? " I pretend to look. "Oh, yes, I'm used to it."
"Maybe you're in pain, just tell us so we can buy medicine if needed while it's possible we can still go through something," he said seriously.
I almost have to say, "There's no need. I just don't know if it's just excitement or if I'm just nervous about you." I almost have to say, "There's no need." I almost have to say, "I almost have to stop."
"No nothing. It's okay, let it go too. "
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, sure!"
"When the car was parked, I was even more nervous, which made me conscious because my heartbeat might be too strong for him to hear. Because I'm feeling pale now with nervousness, why am I like this? Bad trip! "
"I'll just pass by, you go there first," I told him as I accelerated my walk so as to avoid what he might say.
I don't urinate, I just want to look at myself in the mirror, then maybe I need to wash so I don't get wet.
"Relax, don't be too anxious to see him so that you won't be noticed. Oops! It is difficult for many to know. You have to be careful, double careful. So relax. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. It's as if I'm going back to being a teenager, it's just that it's hard for a long time without anyone liking it. I keep feeling like I'm a first timer, "I said to myself while looking in the mirror, but I made sure that I was the only one in the cr lest I be mistaken for insane. Then I went out and calmed down a bit.
"Good morning sir!" They greeted me when they saw me approaching with someone looking at the monitor.
"Good morning. Have you started yet? "
"Ah, we're just waiting for them to finish setting up the lights and the set to be used," replied Neri, a member of the team.
"Sit down first, sir, we're about to start checking the right mixture of light to be used as if it's still natural to look at the model's face," Neri gave me a chair next to her that no one was using.
"Okay, thank you," I replied, but my eyes were focused on what they were looking at on the camera monitor. That was the video on the day of the audition. They watch Gabie. "Relax, Miggy. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. It's just a video that makes you nervous again. What if you see him later? " At the same time, I looked around to see if someone could see me. Well, they were all busy. Meynard next to Neri is also busy watching audition videos.
Five minutes later, I saw him approach the set and then the director of the commercial talked to him. I was again terrified, but I could not take my eyes off him. From time to time, I look around to pretend to observe the production team and staff for a commercial. So as not to be too obvious, I stood up in my seat and looked at the monitor and asked questions, pretending to be attentive to what they were doing.
"What time did sir arrive?" I asked Neri as I approached her.
"No one said the exact time of arrival, but it may be coming soon because he knows that our stay here is limited," he explained.
"Oh, okay." Then he left me and talked to the gay man with Gabie.
"Ah, maybe that's what Meynard says he's his manager," in my mind.
"Okay! Silence, please! "We are ready to go! "shouted the director. So I went back to my seat because it was just next to the camera, so I focused on him. While sitting on the other side, the director was looking at the monitor in front of him.
The shooting started quietly, then everyone focused on him, so I didn't hesitate to stare at him because I knew we were all looking at him. In other words, no one will know that I stared at him.
"Hey, she's really nice. I don't believe he's a pure Filipino because his nose is small but sharp, his eyes are round with insertions, his eyelashes appear to be naturally thick and long, and his lips are finished in thin pink.Maybe the softness of that? Her hair is tied up and she wears a headband so that nothing covers her face when she takes a shower. The smoothness of her skin, white to reddish and with a few frickles on her shoulder. He was wearing a tube, so he looked like he had just folded a towel, so you could see a few frickles on his shoulder. But it didn't look ugly on her, it seemed to add to her beauty. His height is just enough to suit me. Wait? What am I thinking? But of course, we know we might one day be. They say when you have a dream, 'you believe it and claim it!' because it seems to be fulfilled. So, I will claim it one day, so she will be my girl! I feel like a fool. I'm just good and no one else knows, "I laughed to myself, and then I was shaken.
I was so overwhelmed with imagining that I didn't realize that our boss had arrived, then I only found out when Meynard touched me that I didn't even realize that he was by my side.
I hurried to my feet and greeted him to shake his hand and greet him.
In order for us to talk properly, we moved away from the ongoing shooting so as not to be disturbed.
"How's everything here?"
"Everything's fine, sir. The shooting is on-going and I think they're almost done. I can request them for you to see the raw material of the video if you want to check it later, "I offer.
"No, it's okay. I'll just wait for the video to be completed. Let's just watch it together during the presentation before the launching. I just came here to visit but I won't stay long because I have to be with my family who's waiting for me for our family lunch. " All at once, he nodded and said to me
"Okay sir."
I'm not used to visiting people like this, but since I'm only going near here, I decided to drop by. Did the team order food for everyone? For lunch before going home, everyone should be able to eat, anyway, we have a budget for that. "
"I believe Neri has already settled it, sir," I said, pointing to Neri, who was standing near the director with folders clutched to her chest.
"Very good. Well, I'm sorry to tell you I have to go. I know my parents are waiting. I know everything is fine here, especially here, so I have a lot of trust in you because the results of everything you and the teams do are good, "he said with a smile.
That's how our conversation ended, and then we walked out together so I could take him to his car.
Because I took a while outside after I delivered to the President of the company, they finished shooting and the production staff started to retire.
"Finished?" I asked as I approached Meynard.
"Just finished. It's a good idea because, according to Direk, it's not necessary to ulitin."Do you want to watch the shots? "he asked. I nodded then followed her.
"Direk, sir is supposed to watch the video," he said.
"Sir, the choice of model is perfect because she is easy to work with. She did everything I told her to. He is not obvious for the first time like this, "the director said proudly with an obviously happy expression on his face.
"It's good then so we can finish it right away because our client really wants to see it."
Then he pointed to the monitor that was ready for video playback. "We will not be embarrassed. The result of all this will be good," he pointed to the monitor that was ready for video playback. I watched the raw videos. It's nice to capture his natural demeanor as well as his speech. The comments of a few of my companions who watched such a video were consistent. When that was over, the others immediately went to the table where the food was ready for everyone. I rolled my eyes because I couldn't see him among those at the table eating.
"Sir, please eat," said the nanny of a team.
"I'm good. Thank you. Just eat. Neri, make sure everyone can eat. "
"Yes, sir. The model sir and the one with him who are coming here, Gabie just got dressed for a while, "he explained.
"Sir, why aren't you eating yet?" Direk will get close to me when he can.
"All right, I'm still full Meynard are you? Come with them, "my nanny said while busy with the tinkling of her cellphone.
"Not anymore, sir. I'll have a walk later after this."
"Ah, of course," because it was heard that most of them became the butt of jokes. Everyone was still shouting when Gabie and her manager approached.
Gabi pointed at the empty seat near me. "Neri, sit here," she said, pointing at the empty seat near me.
So they walked towards my habit, but before they finally sat down...
"Ah, he's one of our agency bosses, Sir Miguel," Neri said, introducing me to him.
"Sir, Jhay is Gabie's manager.
"Nice to meet you, sir," he greeted me.
I replied, "Glad to meet you too."
"Then Gabie is our new facial wash endorser," said Neri.
Nice to meet you, sir, "he greeted me shyly, but with a nice smile.
"My pleasure to meet you. You did great! Keep it up! " I praise her.
I'm still hesitant about shaking hands with them because my hands are getting cold and maybe I'm still sweating. It's very embarrassing then.
"Eat, sir," Jhay said to me.
"I'm good. Thank you. Just eat, "then they sat down together and started eating.
"Sir, there's still a lot of food, too much was ordered earlier, why don't you just eat it first, it's a pity, Meynard, it's time for me to have sir!" Neri exclaimed again.
"Of course, sir, there are many more," said Andrew, the head of the team.
There was a lot of food served on the table, so even though I wasn't hungry yet, I was embarrassed to eat because a lot of people were already inviting me to see what else they could say to me.
Because I said so, everyone's noise returned and was filled with laughter once more.And since Gabie's next seat had a vacancy, I sat down.
"Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. That's why they shouldn't notice me, "I whispered to myself. Tss, what I don't want the most is to be the target of temptation.
Meynard was on my right while Gabie was on my left. Because of my nervousness, it seemed like I couldn't look around properly, then I became very conscious because I might make a mistake. He just eats quietly, while his manager says something weak to him that he answers from time to time.
I wanted to talk to him, but I was hesitant because I was worried about what he might think of me. He shouldn't have made a bad impression on me, so I no longer aam what I should do. Meynard, on the other hand, was busy with those he was talking to because their temptation could not be stopped. I didn't want to get involved because I wasn't used to arguing with my coworkers. I'm only used to joking or teasing Meynard, but it's not like what the teammates do, it's different because they joke with mixed jokes.
"Well, you're not like other strict bosses?" I did not expect him to talk to me. He said it weakly, but I knew I was the one he was asking then.
"I don't have a problem with them being happy or relaxing sometimes after work. The only thing that matters to me is that they do their jobs right and they are serious and focused during work hours so that the quality of the work is good, "I explained to her and turned my gaze to her.
"Their luck is with their boss. I hope all bosses are like you, sir, "he said with a smile.
"You know how beautiful you really are, especially when you smile like that. It's just slowly because my heart is losing the strength of its pulse, "I almost said, but no, I shouldn't think of that.
"It depends because of that. I am also strict sometimes at work. "
"Please, I don't need to hear appreciation from you because I like you even more," I would like to say, but because it's not possible, just think about it first.
"Hopefully when I go to work, even if my boss is strict, it's okay as long as it's just part of the job, just don't complain even if it's not in the right place."
"Still studying?" I pretend to ask a question even though I already know the answer.
"Yes," he said shyly.
"No worries, just do your job very well. You will definitely not be scolded or insulted by your future boss."
"Sanga nga po," I wanted to say 'don't use' me 'when we talk. Because I'm not that sign for him. I'm only twenty-five. It's just that those who hear us might be offended.
Gabie's POV
"Is he serious about sitting next to me? Oops! As for his scent, I just noticed that he is handsome and the scent is still there. "
"Besh, your fafa is aside. The yummy and the fragrance, "he whispered to me. I stopped laughing and then whispered to him.
Stop being stingy when you hear that, "I scolded her."
"Eh, it's true."
"Yes! Can it be later, so I can continue to be conscious? "I complained.
"Why are you so conscious? Your crush?" he carved.
"Please don't come here and we won't talk about that later when we're just the two of us." I simply glared at him with a sarcastic smile so that we wouldn't be noticed.
"I was really nervous that someone might hear him. Oops! Dead!"
"All right, you owe my chicka ha!" I said yes right away so that there weren't many more questions.
I noticed he ate weakly then. Maybe he's not really hungry because he doesn't really eat, so he's just embarrassed. Maybe a lot of people invited him, so I was forced to. "I whispered to myself."
As for me, even though I was ashamed but because I was hungry, I ignored the shame.
"I think this is a good boss, because earlier when the team members of the team and the other production staff as well as the director were teasing us loudly, but he was not angry or insulting them. They have obviously been together for a long time because of the way they treat each other. But he also doesn't take part in the temptation, he just eats quietly and slowly. "
It's obvious to him that he's capable of life but you can't figure it out. He was simple in dressing. He was wearing a plain blue polo shirt, faded jeans, and a plain blue tie. It's a pity I can't see the shoes he was wearing because I don't want him to think badly of me here if I force him to peek at the shoes he's wearing under the table.
"It's just stupid, isn't it!"
I have no reason when I get caught by chance. His complexion was smooth and his hands were obviously not used to heavy work. He was wearing a black leather watch on his left wrist. He had no other accessories. His dark hair is clean cut, well combed and his scent is very manly.
I wanted to look at his face, but I was afraid he would catch me looking at him. I don't want to embarrass those here, I just put their boss aside and then I'll do it right away, alas!
"Erase! Delete!That's wrong. I won't do that. I'm sure I'll look bad then. His scent is really the taste he can smell. Tsk.tsk.tsk, I think I'm serious. It's not right for me to want him all the time because of what I'm thinking. I think I'm infected with Jhay's fever. It's dangerous! "
When I can't stand it anymore…
"Well, you're not like other strict bosses?" He seemed surprised by my question. I guess I asked him the wrong way. He looked at me for a moment before he answered me.
"I don't have a problem with them being happy or relaxing sometimes after work. The only thing that matters to me is that they do their jobs right and they are serious and focused during work hours so that the quality of the work is good, "he replied as he looked at me.
"He is so handsome! I finally looked straight at his face, "I whispered to myself.
"Their luck is with their boss. I hope all bosses are like you sir, "I said with a smile.
"It depends because of that. I am also strict sometimes at work. "
"Hopefully when I go to work, even if my boss is strict, it's okay as long as it's just part of the job, just don't complain even if it's not in the right place," I whispered.
"Still studying?" he suddenly asked.
"Yes," I said shyly. Isn't it obvious that I still look like a student? Maybe I've matured a bit then.
"No worries, just do your job very well. You will definitely not be scolded or insulted by your future boss, "he said.
I only responded, "I hope so," was my only response to what he said.
I'm glad I was able to talk to him somehow. But they left us first after we all ate because he was still walking with him. I just don't know what he is, because it's far from what Meynard looked like when he was his driver, then I always see him talking to the team members.
My best friend and I went home after we were there with happy faces. I didn't feel tired even though we had a bit of traffic on our way home because there were a lot of people outside because most of them came from work on Saturday afternoons with half-day work because it was Saturday and then there were also a few college students who could catch up with us on fx.
