Please, Love Me Again

Chapter 47: Noted, Brother Xander

"What kind of bad news is that?" Alyssa Curtis asked.

Xindy Apostol blinked her eyes, face looked so worried. "Sister Alyssa, you better see it for yourself."

Alyssa Curtis extended her hand on her assistant. "Then pass the phone to me. Hurry up!"

Hesitant, Xindy Apostol slowly stretched her arm out to hand the phone over.

Looking impatient, Alyssa Curtis scooted over and grabbed the phone suddenly from her assistant's hand. "What kind of news is this that can make you look so terrified and stupid?"

Saying that, the woman immediately went through the news in the phone. Upon setting her eyes on the news, her eyes widened in surprise. "What the hell is this? The King of Dance, The God of Wealth, The International Idol, The National Youth Face, ALLEN and his rumored girlfriend Golden Orchid Awards Best Actress Alyssa Curtis bullied the Hot Male Idol, Joseph Raval together? They stripped him naked and asked him to lick their shoes. Fake faces? Big bullies? Avenge Joseph Raval!"

The woman laughed. "What kind of nonsense is this? Who the hell reported this kind of absurd news?"

Xindy Apostol looked down. "Sister Alyssa, I think Edo Padilla really did as he said. There's no one else inside and he filmed the video himself. And if he did not expose it to the media, this won't happen. The worst thing was that, he modified the video and made you and Allen look so evil and a big bullies. Sister Alyssa, Joseph Raval's fans exploded in rage already. Insulting and cursing you two. They want you both to leave the entertainment industry. This Edo Padilla, he is too much."

Alyssa Curtis put the phone down and leaned against the wall. She closed her eyes and sighed as she massaged her temples. "I'm so careless. I made a mistake this time. Sigh, I promise to Brother Xander, I won't create trouble but I still did. Little Xin, don't panic. We are not in the wrong. I believed that the truth will reveal eventually and the citizens can tell who's wrong and who's right."

Xindy Apostol nodded, feeling dejected. She breathed deep. "I hope that the citizen won't be blinded by Edo Padilla's evil tongue. I'm worried he can able to deceive them. It would be terrible if he succeeds."

Suddenly, the phone near Alyssa Curtis rang, interrupting the gloomy atmosphere in the room.

Xindy Apostol flinched uncontrollably.

"Sister Alyssa, the phone is ringing. Should I get the phone and answer it or you will?" Xindy Apostol said, pointing on the phone resting on the table while calling the attention of Alyssa Curtis who seemed not in mood to answer the call.

"Let me answer it. I think that is Brother Xander." Alyssa Curtis opened her eyes and sighed, pressing the answer button. "Brother Xander?"

"I guessed you have learnt about the news already." The man on the other end said, voice low yet cold. It was not unpleasant but enough to intimidate a person, especially Alyssa Curtis who was head over heels for him.

The man was currently sitting in his office, making a plan on his computer to settle the situation.

Alyssa Curtis fiddled on her nails, repressing her emotions and trying hard to calm down. "Yes. And it's so terrible. Brother Xander, I'm sorry. I'd let you down this time."

"There's nothing for you to say sorry." The man leaned his back against his seat and tapped his index finger on the table. "How are you?"

"I'm doing fine. We are resting in the dressing room at the moment. Brother Xander, are you coming over?"

"My hands are full at the moment. I can't say. How is the filming?"

"So far, it's great."

Xander Villaruel quited down for a while, making Alyssa Curtis anxious even more. Strange, this man, no matter what the situation, he could make her nervous and fragile. His presence and his words were scarier than bullets aiming on her head.

"Brother Xander, are you still there?" Alyssa Curtis asked in an anxious tone.

"By this time, everyone must have heard about the news. Miss Curtis, we all know about the truth. So, whatever the other people are going to say to you later, don't get affected. Most importantly, don't have a fight with anyone. It will worsen your situation. Wait for my further instructions before making actions or decisions. You get me?"

"Yes. Brother Xander." Alyssa Curtis swallowed her saliva, wiping her forehead covered with perspiration.

"Oh right, just continue the filming if the director asks. And be sure to be quiet and low key this time. I have plans for this. You don't have to worry about this thing. I only need you to focus on working. That's the only one I want you to do."

"Yes. Brother Xander."

"Alright. I'm hanging up."

Alyssa Curtis was about to end the call when the man on the end of the phone stopped her.

"Wait. I still have something to say."

Alyssa Curtis frowned. "What is that Brother Xander?"

"Just a little reminder. Remember to pass my words on Miss Apostol. She can't do trouble on your behalf. You know her, she is easily angered when it involves you."

"Noted, Brother Xander."
