Chapter 15 - The Viral Video

I was even more startled when he threw the money out of his window.
Then he wiggled his head.
He executed his car! I take a look at him until his car disappeared from my sight.
"What happened to him? He was so presumptuous. He used to always save me from my disaster." I talked to myself and picked up the money.
We will surely meet again and I will give the money back to him.
Even though his appearance has altered, I cannot go wrong.
And my heart is more infallible with regards to him.
Its velocity was the same when I first saw him up to this eternity.
Why Mr. N always takes off me in rips. Not literally tears but my heart is always left sobbing!
Am I the only one who remembers him? And he forgot about me!
My clothes are put out of order! I am clammy and dirty.
"What happened?" Sittie asked when we met inside the TvN8 Station.
"I just had a fiasco outside," I answered weakly.
"I will assist you to Bambi. Take a bath and change your clothes." she led me.
Why do rich people act like that? They thought their money would solve their guilt!
I felt a diminution in myself. Why does he have to toss the money at me? Is it that hard for him to say sorry for his mistake?
His formerly glad face now looks like to be vast of sorrow.
He looks devastated.
Perhaps, he did it because he was going through something unbearable!
I also did something to him. I protested him right away.
And the pictorial proceeded. I was able to catch up.
"Eve, you are viral again." Ms. Beth came towards me.
"Viral again? Why?" I asked with a grimace.
"Here it is! Someone videotaped what occurred to you the other day.
Netizens want to find the person who molested you. Do you remember his face?
This is a good scoop. We can add to the segment." Ms. Beth clarified.
Oh, dear! Someone had videotaped the predicament.
Is it a good thing or not? Good thing if Mr. N and I will meet again. We can reconcile and say sorry to each other.
Not if the netizens will bash on him.
"Have you heard the latest news?" Lara inquired.
"What news?" Sittie, King and, I asked at the same time.
We are currently having lunch in the cafeteria inside TvN8 Station.
"You are working on a television station yet your radar is shaky!
You will certainly be annoyed." Lara announced.
"We have not heard anything except Love Hotline's number one in ratings again and again.
And Eve's segment is the most viewed videos online." Sittie proudly told.
"Sittie, that is because of all of us. We worked hand-in-hand for the ratings of the show." I mumbled.
"Speaking of which, the new President of TvN8 Station will be introduced.
The CEO is aged so his son will replace him." Lara's anecdote.
"TvN8 will be having a new CEO. Is it a he or a she?" King beseeched.
"As far as I know, the position will be assigned to the youngest child of the former CEO. And the CEO's youngest son had grown up." Lara added.
"Oh! What does he look like? How old is he?" Sittie, the curious one.
"I have no particular news about that. I heard that the new CEO is very young. Perhaps in his thirties." And Lara ate some food.
"I hope he is kind too just like the former CEO." I let out.
I also do not know the former CEO personally. But his kindness is widely known throughout TvN8 Station.
We could feel his consideration. Primarily, in salaries and other benefits.
"Here is another bomb!" Lara stood up.
"What else? You are gossiping all day, don't you?" King gagged.
"The new CEO and Kisses are intimate to each other. There appears to be something between the two of them. Like a secret relationship." Lara recounted.
This is horrible! The new CEO might suddenly remove me from the show.
What else can I do if the CEO fires me?
I am anxious about that information.
"Three, two, one, take!" Director Luis shouted.
"Do you believe in so-called 'first love'? Our caller today is Mr. Mysterious." Kisses said.
"Wow! Hello, Mr. Mysterious. What can we do for you?" I was the one who spoke.
"Ms. Eve, you are nice in person. I saw you the other day." He started.
"Thank you, Mr. Mysterious." My answer.
I glanced at Kisses who was scowling at me.
"I had a girlfriend. And I can say she is my first love. But we got separated. Until I had another relationship.
We met again after five years. And when I saw her, all my feelings for her seemed to return.
I still love her. What should I do?" Mr. Mysterious told his story.
"First love is not real! So if I were you, forget it!" Kisses announced abruptly.
It is not in the script. Is she irritated with the caller who just complimented me?
"Are you serious? Your advice is bitter! I called Love Hotline to ease my worries and to answer my inquiry." The caller spoke.
"Mr. Mysterious, this is the first thing you could do. Are you single at this moment?" I caught the growing tension between Kisses and the caller.
"Yes, I am not in a relationship now, Ms. Eve!" He replied politely.
"That is great! Find out first if she is also single. If she is not in a relationship either, then you try to admit your feelings to her.
But, prepare yourself. If she accepts you again, that is a bonus. If she rejects you, at least you tried.
It is better to do something to know the result than to regret it without trying for the rest of your life." I advised him.
"Thank you, Ms. Eve! You are good at giving advice. And I will do what you recommended to me. Wish me luck!" Mr. Mysterious declared.
"Good luck, Mr. Mysterious! Just be sincere in how you feel, I am sure the result will be favorable." I asserted with a smile.
"Chums, let me change the topic. Someone was rude to you the other day.
Why are you only commuting? Why don't you buy a car?" We were all stunned by what Kisses said.
The video of Mr. N's car flashed on the screen.
I do not want to make the issue substantial because I might blunder his life.
"There is nothing wrong with commuting, Chums! Furthermore, I am not as rich as you and as famous as you, so I can always do my normal routine.
I think that person was just going through something awful so we ended up confronting each other.
And whoever you are, I hope you are doing well right now.
I hope you have unraveled your dilemma." I announced with a smile.
I want this issue to end.
"Cut!" Director Luis yelled.
"Kisses, you did not say what is in the script." Director Luis confronted her.
"I can always say what I want to say!" and she left.
Director Luis just shook his head.
"Thank you, Eve! You always save the day." He turned to me.
After all, personal life and work should not be mixed. So even though I am broken-hearted again, life goes on!
They want to know who that man is! They were furious at Mr. N, the netizens.
How do I stop them?
One day we were all called to the conference room. Sir Nathan spoke. I did not understand him because unaware my phone rang.
Nicks have a fever, Aunt Ellie called. So I bid goodbye to Ms. Beth and told her I have an emergency at home.
She conceded instantly. I will just keep in touch with what will be discussed in the conference meeting.
We took Nicks to the hospital right away when Luigi arrived.
"Mommy, I am fine!" Nicks insisted.
"No, you are hot!" I said worriedly.
Doctor Megan, her pediatrician, checked on her.
"Do not worry, Mommy! It is not a serious fever. It is just the simple flu.
Here, I have already prescribed the medicine for her to take." she said with a smile.
"Thank you, Doctor Megan!" I told her.
"I am a fan of yours!" She could not help but say.
"I am grateful!" I mumbled.
We went home immediately because there were people already recognizing me in the hospital.
Am I that prominent?
"Maybe, you should not just casually go to crowded places. They already noticed you." Luigi said.
He put his cap on me. Then he carried Nicks.
Fortunately, we were able to leave the hospital safely.
I thought people would attack us.
Nicks is not feeling well. And I do not want chaos.
God's mercy, she felt better when I gave her the medicine prescribed by Doctor Megan.
My heart stings when Nicks is in pain. If only I could snag her illness, I will do it.
