Chapter 12: Chapter 12

“Good morning, Bella.” Sheryl and Lorraine greet her.

“Good morning too and thank you for inviting me here.” She smiles before looking at the studio audience. “And good morning to our studio audiences and to our viewers.”

“It is us who should be thankful because you decided to accept our offer even though your schedule is fully packed.” Sheryl said.

“Yes, that’s true.” Lorraine agreed. “For the past four months, we really can’t fit on her schedule. That is why we are so happy that today, Bella is here with us now!”

“Sorry about that, we really tried to fix the schedule but to no avail. That is why last week, Hal mentioned your show again, unfortunately, we already agreed to shoot with Storm Airlines for a commercial, and the remaining days of the week were my day-off. That is why I told him to move some of my schedule to fit your shooting day.”

“Aww, that’s so nice of you, Bella.” Lorraine smiles. “You don’t know how that means to us.”

“And since you’ve mentioned Storm airlines, we have questions about that but that will be for later.” Sheryl said, and basing from her looks, she already knew what she is going to asks.

“For now, we will start on your humble beginnings.” Lorraine started. “How did Bella started her career in show business and the question the public is always asking, who is Bella? You are famously known as Bella, it a real name or just a screen name?”

First of all, Bella is just a nickname, I don’t really want to disclose any personal information as of the moment. I think, it is already enough that the public knows when I was born and that my mother died. I hope you can understand that.” She tried to smile. “And for the question, who am I? Well, all I could say is that what you see on or off camera, that’s me, no pretentions at all. And I guess, the public is already knows how I started my career.”

“You are indeed mysterious, Bella!” Lorraine commented.

“There are people who really wants to hide their identity to the public.” Sheryl commented. “I don’t mean to offend you, Bella, but are you hiding something?” She asks, seriously.

“Well, all of us were hiding something.” Bella smiles. “I’m sorry but I can’t answer this question, Sheryl. But you will have my word that when the time comes, I will definitely come back here again and tell you personally.”

“Well, we will have your word then.” Sheryl answers.

“Let’s talk about how you got discovered by one of the famous and talented directors in the country, Direk Mike.” Lorraine started. They talk about how she was discovered until the dramas and movies she made.

“Everything I accomplished was all thanks to the Lord and Direk Mike for helping me to where am I now.” Bella said.

“As far as I could remember, there are rumors that you have an affair with Direk Mike, how true is that?” Sheryl asks making her laugh.

“There is no truth on that.” She answers. “As I always said, Direk Mike is like a father to me, he’s the one who opened the door for me to enter the entertainment world. There was this time that I told him that maybe this path is not for me especially that his credibility was being question because of me, but he is the one who taught me to fight back by showing the public what I’m capable of, not just for the public nor myself but also for my mother.

During that time, my mother was still alive and is undergoing chemotherapy. Direk Mike told me to ignore those malicious rumors and comments. He is also the one who told me to shut my haters with my success and that’s what I did. That is why I really respect him.” Bella explained.

“And you really followed his advice, I mean, look at you now, dubbed as a phenomenal star. I also heard that you wake up with lots of offers at hand.”

Sheryl said.

Bella just smiles.

“We will take a short break before we continue having a chat with Bella.” Lorraine said and the camera stop rolling.

“So, how is your love life?” Lorraine asks as soon as they started to go live again. “Just a week ago, an article about you and Anthony was published.”

“Oh, that.” She smiles. “We really are at that restaurant.” She answers and she heard some gasps and whispers from the audience. “But we are not alone, the whole crew and cast of the Close Files are there. We are just having a dinner.” She added. “After that I went home with my manager and my stylist.”

“Oh, so you’re not in relation with Anthony?” Sheryl asks.

“No.” She answers.

“I don’t know if I’m going to ask you this but I’m sure you already heard about my interview with Reina Lambert last night.” Sheryl said, and she nods.

“For the past few days, there are photos of you and Tyron Cruz posted on the social media. When I asked Reina about this last night, she indirectly said that you are a mistress.” Sheryl added then through the projector, pictures of Tyron and her were flashed, and the audience screams in delight.

Bella looks at the audience and smiles. “Oh, we look good together, right?” She asks, making them scream again.

Then she looks at the camera. “Hey, Tyron, the crowd says that we look good together.” She winks making the crowd crazy.

“Oh, is Tyron watching right now?” Lorraine asks.

“Knowing him, he might be watching this instead of working on those pile of documents.” She chuckles. “But I am really shocked to see our photo on the café.” She slightly shakes her head when she saw their photo outside the café near his airlines.

“What’s the story behind that, Bella?” Sheryl asks.

“That was after the shoot for Storm Airlines.” She answers, while her eyes were focused on the projector screen.

“And?” Lorraine asks, waiting for her answer.

“And that’s it.” She answers making the two host raised their eyebrows.

“It is through that commercial that made you two close?” Sheryl asks.

“No, we already knew each other before shooting the commercial.” She answers.

“So, you’ve been in a relationship with him for the long time then?” Lorraine asks, making her laugh. She can already sense that they are making confess. “You two gained instant supporters the moment your pictures were posted.”

“Bella, are you dating Tyron Cruz?” Sheryl asks. “your dates with Tyron have been the talk of the town. You were also seen going in and out of the Cruz enterprises this past few days.” She added making the crowd screams. “There is still no confirmation and yet you are all screaming.” She asks the crowd and laughs. “That only proves that you have lots of supporters, Bella.”

“Just date already!” A fan shouted making them laugh.

“All I can say is that I am happy being with Tyron.” She said making the audience scream in delight.

The two host looks like they wanted to join the audience but they’re collecting their selves.

“But are you aware that Tyron is married?” Sheryl asks. “I already mentioned earlier about my interview with Reina last night.” Sheryl added.

“We will hear from Bella after the commercial break.” Lorraine added making the audience exclaimed.

“How many minutes is the commercial break?” She asks the two hosts as soon as the camera stop rolling.

“Usually two minutes.” Sheryl answers.

“Oh, enough for me to use the comfort room then.” She smiles and stood up.

“Comfort room or call Tyron?” Lorraine teases making her blush.

“No, I’m really just going to use the comfort room.” She smiles and excuse herself.

At the backstage, Hal and Jenny are waiting for her.

“Let’s do a quick retouch.” Jenny said.

“Later, I’m going to quickly relieve myself.” She answers and quickly went to the comfort room.

There are only thirty seconds left before going live again when she returned and Jenny quickly applied powder on her face.

“We will go on air in 5...4...3...2...1!” The director shouted in cue.

“And we’re back!” Lorraine said as soon as the camera started rolling. “We’ve been reading comments on the social media and just like you, we are also anticipating Bella’s answer here in the studio.” She added.

“So, Bella, do you know that Tyron is married?” Sheryl asks.

“Oh, is he?” Bella asks, acting like surprised. “You said it yourselves that I’ve been spotted going in and out the Cruz Enterprises, so if he really is married or I am his mistress why am I freely allowed to roam in his company?” She shrugs.

“Maybe because he is the owner and he can do what he wants?” Lorraine asks.

“Owner or not, it is still disrespectful if your mistress will freely roam in your company, and it would also surely trigger the shareholders of the company, isn’t it? It would surely cause a ruckus.” Bella answers.

“So, what are you implying, Bella?” Lorraine asks.

“Are you saying that you really knew Tyron that well?” Sheryl asks. “Remember, there are people who can hide their secrets well.”

“All of us have secrets that we are hiding, but I am certain that I am not a mistress.” Bella said and smiles. “And before going on a date with someone, I am making sure that the person is available. And as I’ve said, we already knew each other before the photos were posted. And I, myself should know very well if I’m a mistress or not. And fortunately, I am not.” She said, seriously but plasters a smile on her face.

“Basing from what you’ve said, there are two things that we can decipher.” Lorraine said. “First, Tyron may or may not be married, and second, there’s a chance that you are his wife.” She added making the audience scream like crazy.

“Can I leave a message to Reina?” Bella asks instead, making the two hosts dumbfounded.

“Thank you.” She said before turning to the camera. “To Miss Reina Lambert, thank you for the piece of advice. You don’t have to worry about me, Tyron and I are happy and that all matters.” She said and glance at the hosts. “Thank you for having me here today, it was really an honor and it has been fun.” She said before turning to the camera again. “So please, support Close Files, the pilot episode will be this coming Saturday at eight o’

clock in the evening. I will be with the veteran actors such as Fred Guillermo, Nathan Lopez, Divine Estareja, Anthony Alvarez and many more.” She suddenly promoted her drama making the hosts and audience laugh.

“You are good in diverting in subjects.” Lorraine commented making her laugh.

“She indeed is!” Sheryl slightly shakes her head. “You still have something to promote?” She asks.

The show ended smoothly and at the very least, she succeeded on escaping questions regarding her and Tyron. She neither declined nor confirmed the relationship.

She is willing to tell the truth but they both agreed that they will only went public the moment Morgan Industries is officially turn over to Tyron.
