While Ellaine is about to avoid every foreigner who takes glances with her while wanting herself to be apart with her co models in the venue, Ellaine didn't have a chance to do it by herself. When she was about to turn right and was planning to go in her suit, an old man just blocked her way and wanted to have even a small talk with her.
The old man is a businessman based on her speculation regarding with it's business attire.
"The famous Ellaine Mildrid Montero is here. I am your fan dear, would you let me if I want to invite you to my simple table there."
Itinuro ng matandang lalaki ang sinasabi nitong lamesa ngunit maagap na umiling ang dalaga. She knew what this man up to, she's not naive for not knowing the play with men. She had enough with her ex boyfriend Andy and she would never let this one just slide like nothing happened.
"I'm sorry sir but I want to rest in my hotel room." She smiled even if it is fake. Ayaw niya namang mapahiya ang kausap kaya kahit plastikan ay nag go nalang rin siya.
She noticed the sudden change of reaction of a man. She felt like an old man is angry with what she said reason why the man caught her off guard and is dragging her from the table a man just pointed earlier.
"What's the commotion here, sir?"
Ellaine felt secure and safe lalo pa't dahan dahang ibinaba nang matandang lalaki ang braso niya. Napansin rin niya ang kakaibang takot sa mga mata nito dahilan na napaatras siya at napatago sa likuran nang binatang nagligtas sa kanya sa kapahamakan.
"Oh—B—Blake, I—I want to h—ave a talk with her just f—for a second but—"
"Just point it out. Talk clearly, Mr. Hilton"
The old man just shrugged and left without saying a word after tooking a last glance with her. Napahinga nang maluwag si Ellaine sa nangyari at ng bumaling si Blake sa kanya ay maagap niya itong nginitian nang ubod nang tamis.
"Thank you, sir. I don't really like to be with every—"
"I saw everything, don't talk. And please don't addressed me as 'sir' I have a name, it's Blake. Blake Jenner. Excuse me."
Nang sabihin nito iyon ay kaagad itong gumilid upang mapaglagyan nito ng distansya ang naglapit nilang katawan ngunit bago pa man ito naglakad papalayo ay muli itong bumaling kay Ellaine na saglit siyang tiningnan bago napagpasyahang magsalita na sobrang nagpapakaba sa kanya.
The man has this dark aura. He's stunning and handsome alright, maybe Ashley is right. The man has this power and authority inside and out in his business industry.
"Don't wander around wearing like that."
Napanganga ang binata at ibinaling ang tingin sa ibang direksyon bago ibinaba ni Ellaine ang tingin sa katawan na wala namang problema roon.
"What's wrong wearing a bikini sir—"
"Blake. It's Blake."
Pagtatama nito sa kanya kaya napaismid na lamang si Ellaine. Gosh! this man is very perfectionist and is very confident with himself. Magsasalita na sana si Ellaine ngunit naunahan siya nito.
"You don't know what's the real motive a man approach you, it's a free country. Take part of your actions. You don't know men out there are drooling while taking a simple glance with you."
After hearing those words, the man left without having it's back to have a last glance with her. Dire diretso lang at walang likod lingon habang naglalakad. Hmmmp! Gwapo sana e.
When Ellaine arrived at her hotel room she indulge herself in the Jacuzzi she used to feel at ease. The fashion show held in the famous venue here in Singapore is fast approaching that is why Ellaine is very much excited. Pagkatapos niyang makapagbanlaw sa napakalamig na tubig ay tinawagan ni Ellaine ang kaibigan at ang manager nito na may dalang balita na hindi niya alam kung dapat nga ba siyang maniwala.
"Tasha keeps on spreading news that you are impregnate by an old man, at dahil nga sa sikat na modelo ka ay nagawa mo rawng ipalaglag ang bata nang palihim upang umusbong pa lalo ang career mo."
"This woman is getting into my nerves Ellaine. She's a warfreak. A brat. Ang galing gumawa nang kwento nang babaeng iyon."
"I am now answering questions with some of the companies asking about this issue again, Ellaine. Just don't worry and everything will be alright."
"Isa pa iyang ex boyfriend mo. Halatang hindi pa naka get over sa yo ang gago kaya hayun at sinisegundahan pa ang kagagohan nang Tasha na iyon."
"Why did you deactivated your account. It's a good thing you can browse an articles related with this, Ellaine. Activate your account and hear these words."
Ellaine couldn't compose herself about Tasha who keeps on spreading fake news just to stained her name. What does she want, anyway? She has it all. Even my ex boyfriend ano pa nga ba ang kailangan nang babaeng iyon sa akin?
With her manager Bailey and Ashley's redemptions, Ellaine followed their words and rushly activated her accounts. While browsing a social networking sites. Ellaine wants to drained herself while reading Tasha's post and is very clear to her that this woman wants to end her career for good. Shit!
Reading the netizen comments, Ellaine burned in anger after having a massive questions in her head why does Tasha spreading this while it seems so sure that it was fake.
"How immoral. A great sinner. Go to hell, Ellaine Mildred Montero. You're a total inhumane after all."
"I am fan but right after reading this one, I think I don't like her na."
"True. Hahamakin talaga ang lahat makuha lang ang gusto. What about the baby in her womb, nagawa pang ipalaglag napaka walang puso."
Ellaine was about to leave a comment and is planning to clear her name using her official account, Ellaine is shock to the core when the original post she wants to leave a comment just disspeared like there's someone behind who is controlling this thing.
She's pretty sure that it wasn't Tasha who deleted the post. Lalo pa't nakuha na nang babaeng iyon ang simpatya nang mga tao kaya bakit buburahin pa nito iyon?
She keeps on finding the original post but no one appeared, only Tasha's daring previous images are the one has left. Ellaine doesn't have a clue and she can't figured it out, who? Who should possibly did this? Who deleted the post of Tasha's spreading fake news about her?
The day of the fashion show came, Ellaine isn't in herself. She keeps on thinking every possible person who is behind this. Nang malaman iyon nang kanyang manager na si Bailey ay hindi ito magkamayaw at nagpasalamat pa sa nagdelete without knowing who it was. Ashley who is yelling herself in the phone and like Bailey, masaya rin ang kaibigan sa nadatnang mensahe na galing sa manager niya.
While she's walking in the balcony on the way to the venue. Ellaine is full aware that everyone are keeps on glancing at her. Marahil ay tungkol ito sa article na si Tasha ang may pakana. But instead to go home and lock herself in her suit. Ellaine pursuing herself to not listen in their foul words. This people didn't know anything and the only words they believed are those words in Tasha's post spreading all over the world.
"Gosh, nagawa pang ibalandra ang sarili gayong may issue na naman siya."
"I don't believe on Tasha's words about her. We all know how bratty that woman is, sinulot pa nga nang babaeng iyon ang ex boyfriend niya e."
"O e diba, nakulong iyon. Ba't nakalaya pa?"
"Maybe it's Andy who did the base. You know they are now an official couple due to their upcoming movie na balita ko ay on hold raw."
Rinig ni Ellaine ang usapan ng mga staff sa gilid. Thankful parin siya dahil sa kabila nang issue na umani na ngayon nang iba't ibang komento ay may mag tao pa rin talagang naniniwala na hindi nga niya magagawa iyon.
Ellaine is confidently lurking herself in the back stage and didn't take any glances to her co models who are now making gossips about her na naririnig niya naman. May isa pa nga sa mga ito ang personal na nilapitan siya at tinanong tungkol sa bagay na iyon ngunit nginitian lamang ito ng dalaga.
It's her turn to walk on stage but Ellaine is so much confident to meet the judges. When she's called by the host onstage, Ellaine professionally glided her hips side steps while smiling in front of the people who witness this International Fashion show that she's being recommended.
Although she's having an issue, she knew to herself that it wasn't her. Kung may tao mang dapat na ikahiya ang sarili ay si Tasha iyon, and not her.
Ellaine swayed smoothly and when she's about to meet that gaze of every judges. She's rooted in place when the Famous Blake Jenner Lacsamanan was sitting in the center who is looking at her intently without having just a blink.
Hindi alam ni Ellaine kung bakit ngayon lang siya nakaramdam nang panliliit sa sarili lalo pa't nakatuko ang mga siko nang lalaki sa lamesa habang tinitigan lang siya nito nang mariin while doing her pose in every conrner of the stage.
Ellaine couldn't take any longer. She looked away in the man's gaze and is looking now the people on the left side of the stage. Shiit! Why she's being like this, why does she's being affected with the man's piercing eyes, all she prayed at this moment is to vanished cooly so that no one could notice her oh so visible reddy cheecks.
