CHAPTER 48
Hazel Quin's
"You mean our interview would be scripted?"
"Not totally scripted, we would just choose what to tell the public while making sure it would satisfy them."
"And how sure are you that it would work?"
The smile on his lips then turned into a smirk, "Simply because that's what I've been doing for all these years now whenever the press is sticking their nose to my personal life."
Instantly, questions started coming one by one in my head and each one needed to be answered out of curiosity and confusion. All of it has something to do with him and my previous plan— the ridiculous plan I had to learn to forget when we were in Maldives. And now, questions regarding that plan with what he said started bombarding my head.
Questions that needed to be answered as per my journalism persona, my mouth and mind were dying to ask. But I wasn't just a journalist and I wasn't on duty now, I was a girlfriend who needed to respect h

"I like you the way you are when I met you. But if you have to be fierce and bolder to protect yourself, then so bet it, baby. I don't mind, you are still my beloved anyway. And if you need back up, your boyfriend is here, I'm just here, okay?"Those words brought a smile to my face. I was really lucky to have him, my decision to resign on CBNews and apply as his secretary was one of the best decisions I've made. Although it was because of my plan before, at least, it changed and now I am having the best of him, enjoying his love and everything that he could offer.Now, I was smiling alone in the living room as I read my journalism modules again. Caleb has gone into the company since he needed to attend to the workload waiting for him in Craige Inc. when we went to Maldives for our week vacation. He was packed with back-to-back meetings and documents to review and then we were scheduled to meet Mr. Zamora later for the press conference regarding our trend

The meeting place was in Caleb's office. It was supposed to be on the restaurant on the ground floor of the building, but then, there were still reporters waiting outside. They weren't as many as before but we would still have a hard time getting away from them once they see us. Surely, they would be completely gone after a week of not getting anything from us unless Stephanie would do something about it again and that's what she would do for sure after what happened last night.Besides, with the press conference that we would have with ZNA TV, they would still try to get something from us. That wouldn't be a problem anymore then, we would just wait till the fire dies. And then I could start with my new job in ZNA TV which we would also talk about tonight.Henri's team would escort me on the way to Craige Inc. as per Caleb's instructions to them. Since the day we came back here and the press started bombarding us, the security team was now always escortin

There were still reporters in front of Craige Inc.'s building as well and when they saw the LaFerrari where I was in, they started running in our direction, their cameras and microphones ready. But then, we headed to the parking lot and it was heavily guarded, only the employees of Craige Inc. were allowed to come in.Like gentlemen, they opened the car door for me and I stepped out of the car. A small smile was on my lips as I roamed my eyes around the parking lot and the exclusive spot for Caleb's cars. I felt deja vu upon remembering my first day here and I brought my Toyota. It looked so small and cheap compared to Caleb's LaFerarri.And as for my Toyota's being, I sell it on a second-hand car shop and saved the fund on my bank account for emergency purposes. Caleb lend me one of his expensive cars, so, I didn't need my old Toyota anymore."Elmar will come up with you, Ma'am. You two will be met up by our colleagues who were now up, guarding Mr
TCST 1: Secrets Beyond CHAPTER 50 (Part III)
The two of them were still surprised with my sudden determination, until now, they couldn't still believe that I decided to take the press conference now, hence here we are, getting ready on one of ZNA TV's studios. Mr. Zamora came with us and personally led the preparation to make sure that everything would go smoothly and accordingly.Holding the prepared script for us, I read the lines again. Mr. Zamora and Caleb already talked about this, hence Mr. Zamora was able to prepare the script sooner. It wasn't literally a script of what we would say, just the chosen questions that the reporters of ZNA TV would ask us. This was what Caleb was talking about, he controls what would come out to the public and what would stay with him, he controls what to let the public see and know."Sir, we will now post our teaser for your press conference."Caleb nodded to the staff who informed us about the teaser release, we would start one and half hours from now.

"Hazel!""Miss Quin!""Calm down,""Please, come back,"They have been calling and following me but I wasn't looking back, not taking even a single glance at them as I stormed my way to the entrance of the building. My steps echoed through the tiled and polished floor, my ankle strap sandals were taking hard steps, a sign that I was about to go on a war."Baby, wait!"Caleb finally caught up with me and held my arm, halting me suddenly. And if it wasn't because he was quick enough to support me, I went out of balance. My eyes landed on him, giving dagger looks."What?" I snickered. "Don't tell me you are going to stop me? Come one, Caleb. I won't let you do it, give this one to me.""Have you forgotten that we have just been in a press conference where I explained everything? That's it, Hazel. Don't fuss about, Miss Colbern. Let her be, Mirna and the guards will handle them.""Oh, no," I shook my head
TCST 1: Secrets Beyond CHAPTER 52
"You did a great job there, baby."I smiled as I made circles on Caleb's chest. My head was resting on it while he was combing my hair with his fingers, kissing the top of my head from time to time. His tender kisses and fingers were soothing and I couldn't help but to close my eyes as the Advil I took this morning started losing its effect and now my head was aching again, add what had just happened at the entrance of Zamora Newscasting Agency.The beat of his heart was like a soft rhythm in my ears, I couldn't help but to smile even more as I hear it. I was starting to get sleepy, so I didn't respond to him and just listened as he talk, complimenting me."I'm glad to see you fighting back and not letting them have the satisfaction of defeating and ruining you, baby. I like your bravery, fierce and hot.""It wasn't easy though." I wasn't able to help myself help but to respond when he complimented me for being brave. "You know, I'm afraid o

I lay on his naked chest as his bit callous hands caressed my bareback. With our position, I could feel and hear his serene heartbeats amidst the silent room. Our breaths were even and equal, our eyes dropped closed as we relaxed after several rounds of lovemaking. The first ones were hard and rough, punishing and yearning. And the last ones were soft and gentle as he whispered how much he loved me."Baby?""Hmm?"Moving to look up at him, I found him staring lovingly at me and without a word, kissed my forehead that brought a smile to my face. My hand that was resting on his chest moved to caress his cheek, my smile widen, realizing that he kept what he said to me when I told him I don't like men with stubbles and mustaches. He kept his face clean."You know what, baby, I could spend the whole night without sleeping if that means staring at your angelic smile," he mumbled.I chuckled, "Oh, Caleb. Don't say that. I could see it in you

Thankfully, later on, that day, Geraldine called back and told me she was on her way home. CBNews fired her from work just because of what happened in the bar when it doesn't have something to do with her as one of CBNews' journalists anymore. She was off duty that night and whatever happened at the bar does not have something to do with her duty as a journalist.But then, we were talking about the dirty company of CBNews, so, it wasn't surprising that they did that to her. And for sure, they gave her a feedback that no other news company would accept her. A character reference that was manipulated with lies. That's just how they worked.When I asked her if we could meet, she declined and I could feel it in her voice that she didn't want to talk to anyone for a while. Of course, she probably felt bad after being fired to work and knowing what CBNews did to her character reference. Just like me, Geraldine was a self-supporting individual, so she needed to
