THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 24. SAME QUESTION
Embarrassment flushed through my entire system as he played my savior role right there. Why was he always popping up at the moment when I needed intervention? I knew I needed to be saved but not by him this time around.I was still lost in my maze when he marched forward and tipped the securities.“Could you please let them go? We came here together to have fun as you can see” he stated and walked closer to me.All of a sudden, he smacked the hands that were on my body off and dragged me over to his side by the waist. Gently caressing my hairline and setting the stray hair, he started to say things that almost made me drop my jaws.“Sweetie, how did you get caught up in their net? Since you are for me alone, I utterly detest how their hands are around me. Should I call for the closure of the club immediately?” he said, loud enough for them to hearI first wondered what kind of play or show he was putting on but I didn’t let those securities catch up before finally playing along.“Hone

STANLEY’S POV“You jerk! Where are you?” I heard a familiar voice scream in the outer office but I was on a video call with one of the stakeholders so I didn’t budge at whatever was happening until my office’s door flew open and Mimi stormed in with my secretary running behind.“You piece of shit” she cursed out, marching furiously to my seat but I calmly told the stakeholder that I would get back to them after dealing with an intruder.“You are making a fuss at a workplace, are you aware of that?” I questioned, walking to the sofa side to have my seat“Ah ah! I am the one making a fuss and screaming like a mad woman, is that it?” she spat out and I sighed before rubbing my sweaty glabella as I removed my working glasses.“I never made mention of that, must you read meaning into everything?” I countered, trying hard not to flare upShe walked closer to my seat with her hands folded and stood in front of me. “Why did you leave me that way at the club? You disappeared into the thin air
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 26. THE RED ROOM
PETALS’S POVEven though the conversation between Stanley and his girlfriend, Mimi was intense, I was not really interested. Others paused their works so they could pick the words they were saying clearly but I didn’t pay that much attention since it wasn’t my business in the first place and I wouldn’t want a situation where I would hear a word that would hurt me.When she finally mentioned the club and how he disappeared suddenly, I knew I was the cause. I began to felt bad that I was the reason why they were fighting that way until he mentioned that he was only there to honor her show off request and he was tired with everything that was happening in their relationship.“She’s a piece of work” I found myself mutter and continued with what I was doingI witnessed how she was badmouthing him to her friends and also pretending to care about him so I didn’t feel bad that he was behaving that way towards her.“He did know about it after all” I mumbled when I heard him mention her boyfrie
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 27. DIGGING FURTHER
Since she didn’t want to call the attention of people that she was interviewing the lady, Pamela tapped on her wristwatch to record naturally while the lady also spoke as if they were just having a common conversation.“So you mean whatever the rich does in the red room, they get a free pass?” she asked to confirm and the lady shook her head.The lady continued, “It’s a place where they do drugs, party like crazy, oppresses one another with money and also in some cases, they rape people” Pamela was not fazed with all the lady had listed, she knew how crazy the elite classes could be.“Those wealthy people only reek of filthy money because all they do with their money is make mess of everything. They believe that they are above everyone and do whatever they want. That’s why I detest them so much” Pamela remarked, folding her palm tightly in anger.“My friend, the lady who got missing and died also got called to the room. We were together that fateful night when she was dragged there.
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 28. RESOLVED
PETAL’S POVI rushed back to the office and filled Pamela in on what I found in the boy’s necklace. We both rushed to the rest room and locked the door before sticking the memory card into a reader.“There’s a video in there” Pamela pointed out and we clicked on it.The scene that graced our eyes was not what we had expected. The video contained a clear view of what the red room looked like and what was going on in there.“What in the world is this?” I gasped, my jaw dropping open at the outrageous sight in front of me“This is sick” Pamela whispered.We began to see familiar faces of the conglomerate’s sons and daughters in the red room. They were busy drinking away and puffing off drugs. Their wicked and intoxicated laughter filled the entire room.Some minutes into the video, some ladies that were scantily dressed were brought in and placed in their middle. They tossed bundles of money on the table for the man that brought them and he left.Immediately the door got closed, they rus
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 29. GONE WRONG
Something urgent came up for Stanley and he suddenly left the office after giving me his credit card to get dinner treat with Pamela.“You can eat all your cravings, all bills on me” he texted me as he left and I just scoffed before dropping my phone to finish my work.I texted Pamela and we ended up at a small restaurant where we took some drinks and ordered for some food which I paid for with the card.“Our CEO is a nice person but no one has ever seen this side of him. I think he began to show this side when you came around” Pamela remarked with a mouthful of foodI countered her accusations. “What do you mean you have never seen this side of him? He has always taken you all on trips and all” She nodded in agreement “He did all that but he was never active during those times. He would either be in his room or outside doing some other things. He would just make sure everything we needed was provided and he would give the excuse that he doesn’t want to be a burden or source of incon
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 30. PLANS
MEI’S POVI was so hyped for the weekend shoot that I did all my best to improve my skin and appearance so I would look beautiful to Ray but I was highly disappointed when I waited all day for him to show up and the producer announced that Ray wouldn’t be around for the day. “I cannot film this without Ray! How am I supposed to trust my life with someone I am not sure of his competence?” I whined and refused to start the shooting.“This is not right. You are keeping the whole crew waiting just because you are being unnecessarily stubborn. The trainer is fit for the shoot so let’s just do it and get done with it” my manager pleaded but I wouldn’t have it.When I realized that I might be overdoing things and Ray would not come anytime soon, I agreed to the shooting and we started even though my mind was not fixated at the instructions I was being given.Five minutes into the shoot, I lost my thinking and my feet intertwined on the treadmill making me fall and roll off the running machi

We did say that but is your dream to be a trainee?” he dragged the words out of his mouth and she smiled“Well, that is also a dream but just so you know that this is the path to my dream” she responded and pointed for him to sign her membership form“I wish you the best on your path” he said to her, signing over the form“I will really do my best” she blushed, grabbing the paper and clutching the paper to her chest in happiness as she ran out of the officeRay tilted his head as he watched her go. “She’s so unpredictable” he muttered, adjusting his clothes.*****Stanley flew out of the country to a
