Chapter 12 - Meet Kisses Dee

Even if the task is tough as long as you are delighted, you will surely appreciate it.
I started working at TvN8.
"Ms. Everlee, here is your I.D." when the person in charge handed me my identification card.
"Wow! Thank you!" and I went back to my table.
"Everlee Legazpi, Personal Assistant.
TvN8 Station.
Wow! I cannot believe my eyes. I did it!" as I talked to myself.
The people here at TvN8 are compassionate to me. As time went by, I met good friends on TvN8.
They are Sir Nathan, Lara, Sittie, and King.
"Sittie, try saying the lines." Lara's order.
They snickered as Sittie grunted.
"Oh! I have no intention of being a host or anchorwoman. I am happy with writing." Sittie announced.
"You can write a lot but cannot perform what you wrote." King teased Sittie.
"Eve, come on, try it!." Sittie turned to me.
They are active in teasing each other.
"Alright, let me try it!
Courted the women but were never answered?
Befriend him but being busted?
Prepared for the wedding but she run away?
Do you have a love problem? Eve is here, I may not be Adam's forever, but with you, I will stay, however.
With Eve you will never be alone! I will listen to your heart problems, it is free of charge!
Just tune in here at LOVE HOTLINE. I Eve got your back!" And I smiled at the last part.
Being a host, you must be aware and could make alibi and original lines.
They applauded when I finished.
"Awful! You should just be the host of that new segment." Sittie said in amazement.
"There is more on-the-spot additional. I loved it when you say 'I may not be Adam's forever." Lara praised me.
"You are a born anchorwoman, Eve. Let us suggest the board get her as the amateur host for Love Hotline. That is great!" King acclaimed.
"Hey, do not do that! Who would get an amateur host for a new segment? It would arise only in a miracle." I stopped them.
I am confident that I can be a host or an anchorwoman. But I guess it is not for me. I have aged and am just a Personal Assistant here at TvN8 Station.
Anyway, I can still use what I learned. I can however help them all with the mission of TvN8 Station.
The significant thing right now is that I get paid.
After I graduated, the sending of money to my card was cut.
Ella is right, it was probably an automated remittance in my account.
Anyway, it is better to be cut off. I prefer to provide for Nicks.
The couple relinquished their child. They have no right for Nicks from that day on.
Sir Nathan is our General Manager here at TvN8 Station but you can always count on him.
He is an unpretentious person.
There is a new segment here on TvN8 Station. They are still looking for a host for the show.
LOVE HOTLINE is the title of our new segment.
"Guys, maybe you know Kisses Dee." When Sir Nathan arrived.
"Yes, Sir! I have got a crush on her!" King's answer.
"I want to see her in person. She is famous and very pretty." Sittie announced.
"I have been with her on a guesting. I could say that she has an attitude." Lara whispered to me.
"That is good! She will be the host of Love Hotline. She is coming here to meet you all." He declared.
Our team will be responsible for the new segment. So the host needs to join us for a briefing.
Kisses Dee is a famous actress. There is no doubt that she is glamorous. She also looks gifted and smart.
It looks like the show Love Hotline will pull off because of her.
"Ms. Kisses is here." One of our companions muttered.
We all glanced from where Kisses entered. She was with Sir Nathan.
Wow! She is more pretty in person. We started the briefing for Love Hotline.
Lara is right, this one seems to have an attitude. A distinct attitude!
The next day she started shooting. She did a good job. She is promising.
"Excuse me, you!" she pointed at me.
"Yes, Ms. Kisses?" I mumbled.
"Please buy me some coffee outside." she unexpectedly commanded.
For me, it is not a big deal even if she is with her assistant.
Lara interrupted me.
"Let her assistant server her." Said Lara.
"Nevermind, I can do it." I smiled.
"I will buy for her." King's announcement.
"Hey, I want her to buy the coffee for me. I do not want to see you here on the set." she pointed at me.
And why does not she want to see me on the set? What is wrong with her?
"You have to be patient. She appears to be insecure with you. Honestly, you do not even have make-up but you look better than her." Lara said after the shoot.
"I got closer to her and I noticed that her complexion is not as smooth as yours." Sittie also exclaimed.
"I do not like her anymore. She is not humble about what she has.
Eve, the next time she has something to order for you, let me do it." King seems to be mad.
"Loosen up, guys! It is okay by me. I can handle everything! She ordered me a very simple task." I said with a smile.
"I am dead tired of her! You are very optimistic.
I wonder how long we are going to deal with that Kisses?" Lara sneered.
"I wish TvN8 changed the host of Love Hotline. Her ratings are not promising for the segment.
I guess Love Hotline needs a new face so that people can be interested." King suggested.
"Give her a benefit of the doubt. Perhaps, the person is just going through something. And that made her rude." I told them.
"How is your work?" When I met with Ella and Luigi one day.
"My job is enjoyable!
Do you know Kisses Dee?" I unawares begged.
"Of course, the host of the Love Hotline," Luigi answered back.
"Why? Did she do something to you? You are holding her show, aren't you?" Ella was alarmed.
"No, I just mentioned her name." I shrugged.
I want to be professional at work. I can keep it all by myself. I do not want to bother Ella about her.
"Do you want to tell us something?" Luigi insisted.
I shook my head and smiled.
At the TvN8 Station...
"You, take my other dress. I will change." Kisses was referring to me again.
I stood up. That is part of my job. Even simple coffee brewing is my chore. I should not complain.
"Here" Kisses threw her car key at me.
"Get my red dress in my car. I do not like these wardrobes that you prepared for me. Hurry up." she ordered again.
Lara and I looked at each other. Lara was very annoyed.
I have to look for her car in the parking lot. This woman is horrible.
Her assistant knows all her stuff. But still insisted, I do this for her.
I was surprised when someone spoke.
"Ma'am." it is a man's voice.
"Sir, Ms. Kisses ordered me to get something," I said.
"All right, I am her driver. Why didn't she ask her assistant to get it?" He asked.
"Probably, she is busy too!" And I opened the car as well.
Lots of stuff inside. Ther are jewelry, clothes and shoes. I picked up the red dress she said and I immediately went back.
I wish she is done with her orders.
Finally, the shoot ended as well and I can rest.
Afar from being a Personal Assistant, they trust me with some of Kisses' scripts for the Love Hotline.
We were all startled when she came back with her assistant.
"I am missing a necklace that was in the car!" Suddenly she said.
I was distracted.
"You were the only one who went there earlier. So, you probably took it." she was very quick to accuse me.
"I didn't take anything except for the dress you ordered me," I answered promptly.
She approached me. She abruptly grabbed my necklace.
"This, this is it!" she let out.
"Wait, this necklace is mine." I took the necklace back from her hand.
I stood up.
"Yes, Ms. Kisses. Eve owns that necklace." Lara defended me.
"Where did you hide my necklace? It is expensive," she shouted.
"For your information, I am just poor but I am not a thief.
And one more thing, do not blame me. When I took your dress, your driver suddenly came.
So I am unlikely to get anything else in your car. I have no interest in your expensive stuff." I finally managed to uphold myself.
I will not allow her to damage my name.
"Why do you have that limited edition necklace? I am sure you can't afford that!" And she implored.
"I don't have to explain to you how I got this. It is mine and I did not acquire it from stealing." I said confidently.
"Ms. Kisses!" Her driver called.
"The necklace you are looking for just fell under the seat." He was holding a necklace.
"Kisses, I think, you're just exhausted. All right, go home and rest." Ms. Beth, one of our producers, interrupted our conversation.
She walked out annoyed.
"Are you okay, Eve?" she moved toward me.
I bobbed.
"Just ignore her. On our next shooting, I will assign you to a different workstation." Ms. Beth rationalized.
"Thank you, Ms. Beth!" I said weakly.
She tapped me on the shoulder.
Why are there people like Kisses?
I was caught in my necklace. Limited Edition?
Is that why she intends to take it from me?
From now on, I will defend myself from those who oppress me.
I will fight as long as I am right.
