Found Again

I don’t know where this kind of resentment towards Anne started. I should have reconciled with her after Andrew explain everything to me, but I can’t find myself to do so.

The fondness I felt for her before is gone.

I know for certain that we will never go back to the way we used to be. I know that I am being unfair to her, but I can’t ignore my gut feel towards her. Something is wrong, I can feel it.

“Yes, Auntie that’s why people think that she is my uncle’s girlfriend.”

Liah’s answer made me back to reality.

I nodded and smile at her. “She was your uncle’s manager that’s why,” I said calmly.

“That’s exactly my point, she is my uncle’s manager, not his assistant.” Liah insisted.

I chuckled and mess her hair. “How old are you again?” I asked because she acted like an adult knowing things like that.

Liah just pouted. “I hate her. She likes uncle, I can feel it.”

I want to agree with her but that was not a good reaction. I shouldn’t add to Liah’s rage. Also, the mom of Liah’s friends is here.

“Hi Allison, I’m Liza, Lana’s mom. I’m a fan of your vlog. I can’t believe you are Andrew’s girlfriend I thought you and Noah are together because you look good together.”

I smile at Liza. “Thank you for supporting my vlog. Noah and I are just good friends. Also, Andrew and I look perfect together.” I said in a teasing tone.

They all laugh at what I said. Liah smiles wider upon hearing my statement.

I was surprised when Andrew suddenly held my waist and whispered to me. “Did I just hear my name?”

I could see them blushing and giggling while watching me and Andrew.

“Liza said that I look good with Noah, I corrected her and said you and I look perfect together,” I said then I winked at Liza.

“That’s my girl.” He said quietly, enough for me to hear it.

Andrew looks at Liza. ” Liza, I didn’t know you are rooting Noah for Alli and not me. I’m offended.”

Liza looks uneasy because of Andrew. I softly punch Andrew for him to stop teasing Liza.

“I was just surprised when you introduce Allison as your girlfriend. We all thought that Anne was your girlfriend since she was always with you during your private events.” Liza defended herself.

I glared at Andrew. I want to hear him explain this situation.

Andrew saw my intense glare at him. His hand went to my stomach and gently caresses it. I stiffened as I feel a tingling sensation from his touch.

“Anne was my manager and a good friend of mine. She was with me as my manager to ensure that I will avoid a possible scandal like being drunk or doing silly things that could affect my image.” Andrew explained to us.

I can’t focus on his explanation because of his continuous touch on my stomach. I was trying to make him stop but he was ignoring it.

“Baby stop that,” I whispered to him.

“Is it okay for me to steal my girl?” He suddenly announced.

He didn’t wait for their answer. He grabbed my hand and went inside the private room, designed for guests who wants to take a rest from the crowd.

The room was empty, I am not sure if that’s a good thing or not. Andrew started to kiss me as he close and lock the door.

“Andrew, what do you think you’re doing?” I asked in between kisses.

“I’m sorry baby, I suddenly had this urge to kiss you,” Andrew answered back while still kissing me.

His kiss went down to my jaw and my neck. I can’t help but moan from his kisses.

“People might knock,” I said trying to stop him.

“Just let them knock. I lock the door anyways.”

He stops kissing me and he steps closer to me, I can almost breathe his scent.

“I love you, baby.” He said huskily. Then he kisses me again with the same intensity a while ago.

I kissed him back. His kisses gave me so much assurance of his love from me.

“Miss Alli, your cousin and his friends are already in the conference room,” Isabel informed me thru the intercom.

“Okay, I’ll go there now,” I said then I open the mockup design for the magazine cover and went out to meet the boys.

I could see them laughing and enjoying themselves outside the conference room. All the meeting rooms have soundproof because we are avoiding distracting other employees when there are meetings in the meeting rooms.

I appreciate this decision that the company made. I’m sure that these boys will not be able to avoid teasing me and Andrew during the meeting. I just know them very well.

“Hey, boys!” I greeted them as soon as I went inside the conference room.

I also turn off the blinds so that employees will not be tempted to watch us during the meeting. I have no plans of telling them about my relationship with Andrew. I want to lessen the possibility of my relationship with him being exposed to the public.

“What took you so long?” Lance started with his teasing.

I rolled my eyes. “Stop overacting Lance. You just got here.”

The group laughs and goes on with their chat as I am readying my presentation for them.

“First of all, I wanted to thank you for making time here in my office.” I started my speech.

I was laughing inside as I saw them doing their best to look serious.

“Like you, all know, Stellar magazine has been featuring international celebrities for the past one and a half years. And my sudden decision of going back here to the Philippines made a huge change to the vlog and magazine.” I added.

“Most of the stellar fans here in the Philippines are requesting Andrew to be on my vlog and magazine. It’s great for the Philippine market but what about our market in the US? No offense meant, baby.” I said while looking at Andrew.

He showed a thumbs up and ask me to continue with my presentation.

“That’s why I made this proposal thinking of the two markets,” I said then I click the template where the mock cover of them on Stellar magazine.

“You are planning to feature the band? But we are not known here in the country what more in America?!” Vince reacted.

I smirk and click the next presentation showing the same content but this time my name is being emphasized. “My name itself can cater to the American market.”

“Woah! Someone’s being cocky here.” Lance snorted.

I laughed aloud then I click the next presentation showing myself on the stellar magazine cover. “Haven’t you heard Lance that I’m one of the most in-demand fashion influencers in America?”

Lance just shook his head.

“You will also be on the cover? Are you planning to do a back-to-back cover again?” Lieo asked.

I nodded at him. “Yes. I was planning to do a vlog interview with you guys as a band and how did you come up with the name. I will do a teaser from that interview for my next vlog which is me being interviewed on my own vlog. I was thinking of Vince as the one who’ll interview me.”

“Why not me?” Andrew butted-in.

“Are you being jealous right now?” Mike teases him.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

I ignore Mike’s teasing and look at Andrew to explain to him. “I don’t see you doing interviews, unlike Vince. Among the five of you, he was the most experience doing interviews.”

“It’s because I’m a singer and not a host. But it doesn’t mean I can’t do the work.” Andrew insisted.

I just shooked my head. “I prefer someone who’s more experience to do the job.”

“But what will be the content of the interview?” Vince asked.

I smiled at him. “About me having two great parents.”

Vince nodded. “That will be a huge hit. You are creating controversy.”

“Exactly my point. I wanted this cover to have a huge impact. I already contacted the brands I’m endorsing and they are fine with it.”

“But what will you do after this cover?” Vince curiously asks.

I get his point. It’s not like my magazine will do a one-time big-time cover.

“I have pending interviews and projects in America that I had to move because of my sudden decision,” I said calmly.

Andrew’s brow furrowed. “Wait, so you are going back to America?”
