Gotta Be You Chapter 1: Meeting
Sandra smiled as her index finger moved thoroughly around the brim of the wine glass. Her eyes were fixated on the television, watching intently as her face flashed on the screen. "Aren't they getting tired of you, Sandra?" Bammie, who was sitting next to her, queried with a frown. Sandra raised her eyebrows as she shifted her gaze to her best friend, "Huh?" she asked innocently. Bammie rolled her eyes, knowing exactly that she's just acting clueless, "It's been a week since that exclusive interview, but it's still on the hot topic" Shrugging her shoulders, she took a sip on her wine and didn't respond. Honestly, she didn't expect that announcing her ideal type will be that big. She was just being honest and precise by answering that certain question. "Phoenix, huh? You haven't even got a glimpse of his face yet. And don't give me the 'I fell for his masterpieces' excuse, I know you better!" Her best friend continued while narrowing her eyes on her. Grinning, she raised her wine
Gotta Be You Chapter 2: Dinner
Sebastian wanted to stand and leave that fucking place right away when Sandra sat beside Levi. He wanted to straddle his friend right at the moment for setting him up with her, despite knowing how much he hated it to be involved with someone like the woman in front of him. The very reason as to why he kept on refusing Simon to make an appointment to meet up with her. "You didn't tell me you brought a friend," Sandra said sweetly as her eyes landed on Sebastian, smoldering him with that amused gaze. However, he avoided it almost immediately because he didn't want to have eye contact with her. Good thing, the waiter came just right on time and gave them the menu as they all seated properly. He took that opportunity as an excuse for his action. But still, as he pretended to be having trouble on choosing the food to order, he could feel the woman's gaze was glued on him, making his brows form in deep furrow, whilst he was doing his best ignoring it and pretending to focus his whole atten
Gotta Be You Chapter 3: Rumor
The rumored future collaboration between Crown and Empire Entertainment went viral, when some insiders from one of the leading agency Empire Entertainment posted a picture of Sandra Mendez's secretary inside the building. The rumor said that Crown Entertainment had sent a proposal to Empire for the said project, which both agencies refuses to confirm yet. Crown and Empire Entertainment are the two of the largest and most successful leading agencies in the country over the years. But unknown to everyone, both CEO's of Crown and Empire Entertainment were actually good friends despite being rivals over the decade since the said companies were founded.

However, everyone was thrilled when the rumor started circulating. But immediately, it died down after another shocking news of Thomas Mendez's successor flashed l
Gotta Be You Chapter 4: Successor
'Shit' Sebastian blinked for a couple of times and even rubbed his eyes to confirm that it didn't deceive him. But his brother's voice lingered around and everyone in the cafeteria looked curiously at Simon's weirdness. "Sis Sandra!" he shouted as he ran towards the table where the two were seated. Levi and Sandra, who was wearing a huge hoodie to cover her face, were both startled as Simon approached them. The latter shamelessly sat beside Sandra while wearing a creepy smile. "Simon," Levi warned, but the stubborn guy just ignored him. "You're scaring her," he said, but again, he was being ignored as if Simon didn't hear nor see him. Sandra pulled her hoodie downward and tried to hide her face more, but it was a futile attempt for Simon quickly grabbed her hand and shook it unceremoniously, making her gasped in surprised. "I've met you, finally!" the guy exclaimed in full bliss as if there's a miracle happened just in front of his naked eyes. Sandra couldn't utter a word. She w
Gotta Be You Chapter 5: Enemy
Sandra tilted her head as she stared at the closed door in confusion. "Seriously?" she mumbled disbelievingly. She was expecting it to happen, but it still hurts her ego that it actually happened. Sighing, she shook her head. Her eyes then lingered on the door for a few more seconds before turning her heels around to leave. But she abruptly halted when she saw who was standing just a few steps away and watching her. "That was quiet a show," Carmina chuckled. Amusement was very evident in her face as if she'd just witnessed a crime scene that she could use against her beloved enemy. Sandra rolled her eyes, hiding the embarrassment she suddenly felt thinking someone had to see it. And of all people, she couldn't believe as to why it has to be the one she loves to hate. Just great. She grunted inwardly. Her eyebrows arched as she looked straight into Carmina's eyes who was staring intently at her, studying her reaction while one of the eyebrows arched up to the ceiling. She then flip
Gotta Be You Chapter 6: The Genius Composer
“Why?” Mr. Park asked, incredulously. Sebastian raked his hair then shrugged, “I cannot handle two names. That will be weird seeing Sebastian Lee and Phoenix collaborated when they are both me,” he explained trying to pin point his main problem. Mr. Park laughed, looking very amused as ever that made him frowned deeper. He didn't like how his boss sees it as a funny reason. “I have not thought of that,” Mr. Park chortled. “I'm going to talk to Sandra about that then. But don't expect that your secret will be safe with me when she asked for your reason” He mentally cursed. That's what he's fucking afraid of. He didn't want anyone, especially that Sandra Mendez to know he's Phoenix, for a simple reason that he didn't trust her. She's very influential and her words were well trusted by general public, as though when she says 'It's not true', they will easily believe it even there's an evidences of it being true. He wanted to live peacefully without something to think about, except f
Gotta Be You Chapter 7: First Hello
Sandra monitored every clips in Bammie's music video and as perfectionist as she was, nothing, even the littlest mistakes slid pass in her scrutinizing eyes. Her brows deeply furrowed while her whole attention was extremely focused on the screen. "It's lame," she commented after she finished watching the last clip. "Bammie shouldn't cry. The song was full of love with no heartache or whatsoever negative words in the lyrics. Why the heck was she crying in that video?" she scowled making the staffs startled for it was actually the first time they've seen her losing temper.Sandra Mendez was known as strict, but very composed person. She never gets irritated nor angry easily whenever her subordinates and staffs made a mistake whether it's a small or huge that may ruin their company. She's always as calm as she takes everything lightly. She's rational and never scolded anyone but rather encourage them to do well the next time instead. That's why the staffs couldn't hide their bewilderment
Gotta Be You Chapter 8: Long Time No See
Sebastian settled himself comfortably on the chair near the glass wall of the cafeteria, as he sipped his favorite strawberry frappuccino while waiting for the sun to set. He could say that it was the only place in the Empire building that can quite relax him. It used to be his studio tho, but for some effing reason, that supposed haven of his suddenly became his stress extractor. He clicked his tongue as he thought about it. Then, his eyes landed on the people hurling outside the building, patiently waiting to have a glimpse of their favorite artist's presence. Shaking his head, he cringed. He really can't understand why those people were doing that. Was a freaking glimpse of the artists' presence worth the long and exhausting wait? They're not even sure if they will see those they've been waiting for. It's like waiting for the bird that once stayed on the attic of their house and left the other day without them knowing if it's going to come back or not anymore. He was busy watching
