Chapter 46:
When I woke up, Walter wasn't beside me anymore, I found a note on his bedside table saying he's downstairs already, We're going back to work today, we still have 3 days before our flight to New York. Our ticket is already booked. I went down while wearing my pj's and saw his whole family on the table, Walter wasn't around, I decided na maglibot muna sa bahay nila, and then I saw him in the gym, he was wearing his airpods, he was busy running on the treadmill, he's wearing nothing except for his basketball shorts, his toned chest and 6 pack caught my attention, his body looked more manly, he was manly before, but he looked more manly.
"Love, take a picture it lasts longer"
Tngina!
"H-ha?" Shocks! I didn't know I was staring at him, and he just caught me.
"Hakdog" he wiped his sweat before wearing his sando, while doing that his biceps flexed, His shoulders were so lean, I am so damn lucky to have this man, a lot of celebrities, actresses, and models got linked with him a couple of times.
I took a picture of him while he was drinking water, and I smiled. "Tara na, let's go down breakfast is ready" he said and I nodded, while holding each other's hands we went down to eat breakfast with his family, Grayn was on her phone when she shrieked "OMOOOOOOO! Ate Angi you and kuya are on the news, and not only that you guys are also trending on facebook, instagram,and twitter!" We all grabbed our phones, we were really trending. Photos of us together in Batangas were all over social media.
Walter grabbed my hand and took a picture of us holding hands, "I guess we'll have to announce it to everyone then"
He posted a picture of our hands on social media! On his instagram, as well as the pictures we took together in Batangas. I saw some negative comments from the models, actresses, and celebrities he got linked to before.
"This Shaina Matthews is getting on my nerves" I said agad namang magsalita si Grayn "Ate and Kuya pumunta kayo sa garden dali, let's go to the garden I'll take a picture of you guys and you guys post it on Insta, let's meet dun in 5 minutes, I'll just go get my camera"
After 30 minutes we finally had a photo together, we posted it on Facebook, Insta, and Twitter with the caption "It's official" Grayn being famous the photos she took of me and Walter immediately spread all throughout social media.
This day is going to be so busy and messy. We received a lot of calls in the morning, we had to get ready for some interviews. His mom called hair stylists, stylists, in short a glam team, we had an ASAP Interview with a segment called "Talk Shows with Margs" before lunch, a lunch meeting with Forbes Philippines to discuss our relationship so that they can have a meeting with Forbes International. We were also offered a lot of commercials, opportunities. They were talking about merging the two most powerful businesses in Asia, my parents used to be interviewed due to our big business, but they kept me away from the media, I wasn't exposed that much because they wanted me to have a normal childhood, and I did have a peaceful and normal childhood, but now that I am the girlfriend of one of the billionaire bachelors, I doubt if my life will be that peaceful, I need to maintain a taintless image, but I know that Walter will always keep me safe, I'm reading a short script for our interview later, I told the stylists to make me look simple, yet elegant. I'm kinda nervous. My hair and make up was already don, all I need to do is to wear my clothes and shoes. I heard the door open and saw Walter come in, "Guys can you leave us for a minute I just need to talk to my girlfriend."
They all nodded at parang kilig na kilig pa sila ng lumapit si Walter sa akin at hinalikan ang ulo ko bago umupo sa upuan katabi ko.
"Are you nervous?" he asked, "Hindi naman" he nodded and looked at my script, "Just talk like you usually do, it's gonna be fine. I'm sorry you have to go through all of this"
I smiled and held his face "It's okay, I understand you're the most sought after billionaire bachelor after all"
He grinned "yeah, yeah if you say so, but I got you, okay?"
I nodded "I've been interviewed a couple of times, but not this big. This is going to be showed to the whole world right?" he hesitantly nodded
"We can do this, I held both of his hands, now you should go and get changed, we wouldn't wanna be late for our first interview as a couple right my love?"
"That sounds so adorable" I giggled "Oo na labas na!"
He laughed and stole a kiss from me that made me laugh, not because he stole a kiss from me, nakarinig kasi ako ng mga tili, and when Walter opened the door all of the staff na umayos sa buhok at mukha ko ay na sa door lang pala.
"Pasok na nga kayo tapos na kami" agad naman silang pumasok lahat at nagsimulang ayusan ako muli, few retouches, then I wore my clothes, I wore a midnight blue dress from Versace, white Chanel block heels, and a pair of some jewellery from Cartier. My hair was just curled to perfection, I went out of the dressing room and saw Walter wearing a dark blue suit, he looked like a charming, daring prince. "Let's go?" I nodded at what he said and rode his BMW X 5, Manong Mario drove, while we both sat at the back seat, we also had other cars following us for security. This interview is live so we need to be at the station extra early.
When we reached there, buti nalang at marami kaming body guards, dahil dinumog kami ng media, Walter answered one of them "Good Morning everyone! I know you are all thrilled, but all of your questions will be answered today in an interview. That's all, thank you" while still holding my hand we went inside the studio together. Finally,
The staff were shocked when we were already ready, "We're already ready, maybe we can start the interview now." Walter said those words like a boss kaya kinurot ko sya "be friendly naman love, don't scare them" he groaned in pain "Love naman wag ka namang mangurot"
I giggled and kissed his cheek. "Pasok na po kayo ma'am and sir" the staff told us and I saw a woman in a really tight red dress. "Is she the one who's going to interview us, love?" I asked Walter "Yes. Why?" I shook my head, I don't wanna judge but she doesn't look like a host, she looks more like a slut.
She was on a single couch. When she saw us coming she immediately went near us, well Walter rather and hugged him really tight.
"OMG! Walter, it's been a long time!" Walter pushed her away politely "Yes, Ms.Margarette. This is my girlfriend Angelica Shane Gonzales"
She looked at me shocked. "Oh I'm sorry Angelica I didn't see you" bumeso ako sa kanya, she's so fake!
"Shall we start the interview?" I said and left her with Walter and sat on the couple's couch for the two of us. She's like a leech, she can't move away from Walter.
"Good morning everyone, welcome to Talk with Marga! For today we have Ms. Angelica Gonzales, and Mr. Walter Arkinson! We all know na sikat na sila, and they are trending nationwide, they have received negative and positive comments regarding sa pagsasamahan nitong dalawa, and at this moment we will hear from the two"
"Thank you Marga!" Walter and I both said, galing yan sa script namin
"Hello again. My name is Walter Grey Arkinson, the CEO of the Arkinson Empire, and yes the rumours are real, Ms. Angelica Gonzales is my girlfriend."
"Wow! So totoo nga! So when did you guys meet?"
"We actually met way back senior high school, it was love at first sight, I met her on the first day of 12th grade, she was a new student, I courted her and naging kami" sagot ni Walter
"Oh wow so how come these past few years hindi namin siya nakita"
Walter smiled "that's because a few years ago we decided to have a break, we needed to grow as a person away from each other and after 6 years we saw each other again, we were still madly in love with each other so here we are"
She asked Walter more questions and asked me one question which wasn't on the script "So Angelica a lot of people are saying na pumatol ka lang kay Walter so that you can have more money, is this true"
Nagulat ang lahat sa tinanong nya, I scoffed "Actually Ms. Marga. I am the heiress of Gonzales Corp. I am sure you know kasi pangalawa kami sa Arkinson Empire, and aside from having studied Business Management, I also studied Interior Design at the most prestigious university in Italy, that is absolutely wrong, my family is already wealthy, not to brag ha. Why would I want more money right?" I looked at the audience. Sabay sabay silang pumalakpak.
She ended the show and we bid her goodbye, she hugged and kissed Walter's cheek and that made me shiver in anger, bumeso ako sa kanya at pasimpleng bumulong "I am the heiress of an empire too Marga, so the next time you embarrass me or even try flirting with my man, you'll be seen in the slums, together with your old sugar daddy, and it's Ms. Gonzales for you Marga, if you wanna live in luxury and keep your job, know your place" humiwalay ako sa kanya at hinawakan ang braso ni Walter, everyone was shocked when she fainted "Let's go love, don't mind her" Walter nodded while I laughed, what a bitch.
