"Ya!"
I almost jumped but I managed to prevent myself from doing that. I looked behind me without moving my body.
"You scared me!!" I shouted at him and he just laughed at me so I frowned.
I looked at the thing he was holding. My eyes almost popped out and made my body turn to him.
"Why are you carrying that?" I asked while pointing to the luggage he's holding.
He looked at it and mouthed 'Ahh' and looked back to me.
"After the talk we had last night, the company called me and told me we're holding a press conference today," he answered.
I mouthed 'ahh' while nodding when I suddenly realized something.
"Today?" I asked and he nodded, "Then you'll leave me here? Alone?" I almost murmured.
I looked down and played my feet by twisting it.
I gasped when his face suddenly equalled mine. My eyes widen and something inside me keeps wanting to be out. He smiled. Almost ear to ear. His eyes were squinting.
"I said 'we'" emphasizing the word 'we'
"We?" I asked while pointing to myself. " Why am I included? It's your business not mine, you know that right?"
He frowned while still looking at me, face to face.
"Why is it mine only? You're involved because...." he trailed off making time for me to cross my arms.
"Because?"
"You..." he pointed at me then pointed to himself, "are my 'girlfriend' "
"Ehhh??!!!" my voice got louder but I wasn't really shouting.
I avoided his gaze by looking at the railings. We're currently at the second floor.
"W- What ar- are you s-saying?" I stuttered.
He straightened his back then crossed his arms.
" The articles say you're my 'Girlfriend' " he said.
"Tsh! You're basically using me but still denies it," I murmured under my breath making sure he wouldn't hear it.
"What?" he asked.
I looked up to him and shook my head, "N- Nothing, I- I'll just g- go pack m- my clo—"
I stopped because he suddenly laughed!
"W- why ar- are you l- laughing?" I asked.
"What clothes are you going to pack?" he asked then laughed again.
I just realized what I just said.
"Tsh! Stop laughing!"
"Ohh, sorry!"
"Anyway, what should I wear?" I asked, changing the topic.
"I knew you'd ask that," he said after snapping, " go to the Masters Bedroom and you'll see the clothes you'll wear laying on the bed."
"Okay!" then showed him an okay sign with my right hand then walked towards the Masters Bedroom.
I can't believe I'm still amazed by the size of the room.
I immediately saw the clothes he's talking about. It was a black fitted dress that's ends two inches above my knee. It has chains on the right side of the hips part. It's a sweetheart dress but has lace so it makes its neckline round. The sleeves are also lace. Next to it is a pair of 5 inches black high heels.
"Is there a funeral?" I asked myself.
Why? Because it's all black! The good thing is I have a fair skin.
I went to the bathroom of the Masters Bedroom to shower up and get changed. It took me almost thirty minutes to finish grooming myself.
I slowly walked out of the room and saw Kris leaning his back onto the glass railings and looking at his phone. He heard me close the door so he looked at me, from head to toe.
"You look..." he cut off as he touch his chin, "great" then showed me a thumbs up.
I subconsciously smiled at his compliment.
"Really?" and he nodded. "Thanks!"
He then offered his arms for me to grab on. I was confused but ended up doing what he wants me to do. We started walking together until we got out of the house and entered the van.
I'm kind of nervous about the press conference but I'm sure I'll do great! I can do it!!
"If you're asked how long our relationship had been going..." I face him when he suddenly talked. " You'll say three months, remember that."
By the way, I did a light make- up. I'm going to face cameras and his fans so I should be prepared.
"Why three months?" I asked getting his attention. He wasn't looking at me earlier.
"Because Lu Ho and I broke up five months ago," he answered in a bored tone.
"Then it must be two months only,"
"Two months? Why?" he's now frowning while tilting his head to look at me.
"Because of the three months rule,"
"What rule is that?"
Seriously?! He doesn't know that rule?!
" After breaking up with someone, you have to wait for three months to date another girl. It's a way of giving your heart a break and to have time for healing, realizing things and loving yourself." I explained.
"Okay," he replied while nodding, " two months then."
Silence once again came up between us. No one uttered any words. Even the driver.
I suddenly became curious about something and decided to ask Kris.
"Don't you have a manager?" I asked.
"Manager? What for?" he asked.
This really is a different world.
" He helps you with your schedules, projects and basically like you assistant."
He shook his head.
"We're independent here. We don't depend on them. We do things on our own." he uttered. "Why? Wanna be my manager?"
"W- What?! N- no! I just a- ask if you have o- one," I stuttered because of the sudden question.
He just nodded and looked at his phone again. He's so busy! Tsh!!
After an hour we arrive in front of a huge building. I just followed Kris inside and to my surprise, there's no fans that gathered! And the press! The press were just sitting! Not making any noise!
"So..." we stopped walking when a woman in a pink fitted dress who has a fair skin that looks so familiar stopped before us, "She's your new, huh?"
Kris then pulled my waist to him and looked down to me who was still in shock. After looking to me he looked back to her and smiled but not like the smile he gave me earlier. It's not a genuine smile.
"Yup!" he answered, " Meet Iris..." he then looked at me again, "Iris meet Lu Ho"
Now I remember!!! She's the one in the picture in one of the articles!
