Found Again

Andrew’s cold voice was new to everyone. Anne and Lea were obviously flustered by Andrew’s warning.

Andrew may look snob but he was never cold to anyone, especially people who are working for him. I can understand the shock and confusion on their face. Maybe he was too lenient with them that’s why they can boldly approach me like that.

My brow furrowed when I notice Lea’s glare at me. I don’t understand why she treats me like she knows me. I’m becoming more curious about what Anne told her to receive that kind of hateful stare. Or is she blaming me because she got scolded by Andrew?!

I don’t want to make this issue a big deal.

I was about to leave when Andrew hold my hand and squeeze it. I gave her a warning look but he didn’t budge.

“Your assistant told us that you will be the one who will do the briefing about today’s shoot?” Andrew asked while still holding my hand.

I nodded at him. “Yes, since I was the one who came up with this content. I’ll leave you now with them. We’ll leave as soon as you guys are done.” I said while forcefully taking his hand out on me.

Andrew squeeze my hand before he finally release me. “Okay, see you later Ms. vlogger.” Andrew naughtily said.

Andrew did change a lot. He was more playful now. I’m loving him more for that.

My team already did the setup in Lush’s store. I took my camera and did my first spiel outside Lush.

“Good day my beautiful stars! This is my first time vlogging here in my country. I miss the US of course especially my friends but it’s still great to be home with my family and friends.” I started my opening spiels.

I stop the recording and gave my camera to our videographer. He will be shooting me now as I introduce Lush’s biggest store here in the Philippines.

“Do you guys know where I am right now?” I said then I pause for five seconds.

“I’m here at the newly open store of Lush here in Greenbelt, Makati. This will serve as Lush’s flagship store here in the Philippines. I can’t wait to see how marvelous this place is. I heard that Lush collaborated with Filipino designers and high-end furniture brands for the store’s interiors.”

“OMG! I am super excited! But before that, I will introduce to you my special guest for today’s vlog. These men are very close to my heart. They are friends since grade school. One of them is the hottest and in-demand leading man in the country, the other one is the most loved singer in the country, anyone would dream to be serenaded by him and the other three are very successful businessmen. It’s my honor to introduce this band to you my beautiful stars. Let’s welcome them today, Allison band!”

The boys when to me one by one led by Vince. They all kiss me on the cheek and greeted me for formal sake.

“Welcome to my vlog guys!” I greeted them excitedly.

“Thank you Alli for having us. It was a dream come true for us, right boys?” Mike started to tease me.

“It’s too early for teasing guys. Don’t show your bully side to them.” I said to ride their teasing.

“We are not teasing you though. What Mike’s said is true. we are a fan of yours. We are also a member of your fans club here in the Philippines.” Lance said in support of Mike.

I can’t help but roll my eyes. “Whatever guys! Let’s go inside the store, I’m so excited to see the interiors and of course their product. You guys are so fortunate because you will be the first to see Lush’s collection for this season.”

All of us went inside the store. We are welcomed by Lush’s representative, store manager, and their staff. After a few greetings, we explore the store first.

I was in awe as I explore the store. The ceiling panels are made of textile made from the fiber of local leaves, with the woman’s leather goods area showcasing bamboo teardrops lamps made by Filipino craftsmen. The private lounge’s sliding doors mimic capiz windows while rugs bear designs that echo complex tribal tattoo patterns. There’s a breezy tropical feel to the space but the approach to achieving this cabana vibe is light and understated.

There are also Filipino artworks here and there made of strips of acrylic, handwoven abaca, polyester fabric, and a tasteful mix of cord, rope, and tapestry.

They have a complete and extensive selection for women, from the latest ready-to-wear to leather goods. It also has a Capucines Wall where the latest pieces of iconic bags are being displayed.

And among all Lush’s stores here in the country, this is the only store to have a complete men’s selection. I was asked to highlight this area which is why this vlog content is perfect for the boys.

After the quick tour of the store, they guided us to the VIP rooms where the main shoot will be held.

I let the videographer record clips from the VIP room first. We will insert it to highlight the area.

My staff started to place the roulette. They signal me that we can go now to the center to start the shoot.

“I’m sure you guys want to see more of these beautiful men beside me. That’s why I decided to do the Stellar’s wheel of fashion challenge.” I started my second spiel.

“I will group these men into two. So we have team Vince and team Andrew. I will make it hard for you guys to choose.” I said as I look in front of the camera.

I asked Vince and Andrew to step in front.

“I will let Vince and Andrew choose their first team,” I told them.

Vince chooses Lieo which I already expect because there is no way Andrew will choose him. Andrew chooses Lance. Since they are five in the group, I will be needing one more player. I wish Noah was here to complete them but I had no choice but to ask Iya on the spot to join the challenge.

“Since no one chooses Mike, which is a pity. We need one more person to complete the team.” I said as a payback tease to Mike.

Mike glared at me, I just gave him a victorious smirk.

“My stars are extra lucky for today because aside from these gorgeous men, we also have today our favorite DJ, Iya!” I said in an excited voice.

The boys’ eyes widen from the shock of my sudden announcement. Iya was equally shocked with them. One of my team asks her to go with us. She had no choice but to follow.

“I’m not sure if you guys already know that DJ Iya is Andrew’s cousin and a very good friend of mine,” I said as an introduction for Iya.

“Because of that, I will put DJ Iya on Vince’s team.”

Now that the team is already settled. I explain to them the mechanics of the challenge. I will spin the roulette to choose a particular outfit that they will need to do. I will take a picture of the outfit that they made and I will post it on my social media account and do a poll to determine the winner.

I asked them to choose their representative or model for the challenge. Vince’s team chose Lieo and Andrew’s team chose him as their team’s model.

I did the first spin for the first challenge and the roulette pointed at the “Date night” outfit.

“You need to create an outfit for date night. Are you guys dating?” I asked to give the viewers what they want to ask.

“Are we allowed to spill it?” Vince said in a teasing tone.

“Are you?” I said to ride his teasing.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The more it looks natural, the more the people will believe that I was just friends with these men and there is no way I am dating one of them. Or even if they think I am dating one of the boys, it will be hard for them to figure it out seeing how close I am with anyone of them.

I was planning on going out publicly with them to make the public more confused. In that way, no one will be suspicious of my relationship with Andrew, even if they saw us going out together.

The two teams were done with the challenge. Lieo was wearing black jeans, white sleeve shirt, a navy blue blazer, and white sneakers.

Andrew, on the other hand, was wearing burgundy suits with a white t-shirt underneath and white sneakers.

“I must commend the two groups, you guys did a great job to the two gentlemen here. And I’m sure that my followers will have a hard time to choose between these two gentlemen here.” I said to them then I look in front of the camera.

“But if you were the one to choose Alli, who would you choose between Lieo and Andrew?”
