CHAPTER 9 : THE EVIL MANAGER

What did you say? Even Florence’s proposal was postponed because of her? So, Florence didn’t continue her engagement proposal? She asked Florence’s manager. This is incredible, Iniego!

Yes, because he loves Tanya and he doesn’t want to do anything that will ruin her girlfriend’s career, Florence remained silent to protect her girlfriend’s career, he answered. But look at Tanya now, she is very happy with her life, she’s not pressured and stressed. That is because you allowed her to do whatever she wants to do knowing her limits like the way you manage her when she’s new in showbiz, Mr. Iniego discussed.

So, when Florence asked me if I will allow her to propose with Tanya followed by asking me, “Is my planned proposal won’t ruin her career?” That isn’t his first time to plan an engagement proposal? Ms. Trixie whispered.

Wait, did Florence already proposed to Tanya? Did I hear you right? Mr. Iniego asked her in an excited tone. Finally! He had a courage to do it again. After their relationship suffers on Tanya’s 3^rd to 5^th year under the management of Ms. Connie.

With that of question, I don’t know if he already proposed to Tanya. I don’t have an idea! I think we should ask them? What do you think of that? Ms. Trixie suggested.

I think you are right. After all we deserve to know the truth. So, we can protect them as their managers. Come on, let’s ask them. Whatever they want, I want them to know that I’m always here to support every milestone of their relationship since day one, Mr. Iniego said showing his undying support to YaRence couple.

While they are on their way to their talents, Ms. Trixie asked Mr. Iniego about Tanya’s career.

By the way, what’s about her last three years under Ms. Connie? I didn’t know that. You said earlier that she suffers. What’s about that?

I think Tanya and Florence are the right person to answer that Ms. Trixie. Tanya will surely open up when you ask her about that, you better asked them they will give you the exact answer about what happened to them 5 years ago, the manager said like he knows everything.

Her 3^rd year under the management of Ms. Connie is the most painful part of their relationship because of what she did to Tanya and Florence, Mr. Iniego uttered in a sad tone then he tapped Ms. Trixie’s shoulder saying, I am not the right person to answer your question. I’m sorry, he apologized.

I think you are right. Help me please. I want to know the truth. Tanya is like a young sister to me. I think I deserve to know what happened to her after I left her. Besides, Tanya didn’t know that I suffered from stage 3 cancer. I didn’t tell her about it so, she won’t worry about my health conditions. She is at the peak of her career that time and I want her to be successful, I want her to focus on her career. I am so guilty about what happened to her after I left her, Ms. Trixie sheds tears.

Mr. Iniego widened his eyes after seeing Tanya and Mianne at Ms. Trixie’s back and Ms. Trixie was shocked after seeing Florence and Chant in front of her.

What? What did you say Ms. Trixie? Tanya sheds tears after knowing the truth. She asked everybody join her inside her room to talk about everything.

They all went inside Tanya and Mianne’s room.

Florence sat beside Tanya lending his arm on the lady’s shoulder. Chant sat beside Mianne holding her hand. Ms. Trixie and Mr. Iniego sat on a separate sofa facing the two couples.

At first, no one wants to say anything. It’s an awkward feeling that you are just looking at each other without uttering any words. Until, Ms. Trixie cuts the awkward moment saying, “Hey! Cheer up! What’s going on? Are we going to stare at each other until night?” she looked at Mr. Iniego first and smiled at the two couples. The two couples smiled back at her.

Tanya, Mianne, you know how much I love you both. You are both like sisters to me not just my talents, not just your career manager. I just want you to know that whatever you do in career and in personal life, I am here to support you I will not hinder you, Ms. Trixie uttered emotionally with teary eyes.

I understand, Ms. Trixie. I know you are there every step of the way. We are not here if your concern to us is not real. You’re more than manager to us. You always mean a lot to me, Ms. Trixie, Tanya whispered softly and almost cry. Florence lends Tanya’s head to his shoulder to make her feel that his shoulder is ready to cry on.

Florence, I’m sorry. I told Ms. Trixie about what happened to your relationship when Tanya was under the management of Ms. Connie. Please forgive me, I know I am not the right person to tell her about it, Mr. Iniego apologized.

Mr. Iniego, I understand you. I know you are just concern about our relationship. You don’t have to apologize, Florence told him.

Hey guys! What’s going on? Chant and I don’t understand what’s happening here, Mianne asked them curiously. Please let us understand the situation, she added.

Mianne is right, I think we deserve to know what you guys are talking about, Chant uttered and stared at Mianne’s confused face.

Mianne, I am Tanya’s former manager but I left her because of some reasons. I came back handling actresses after 5 years. When I came back, you are just new in showbiz, it’s your first year in showbiz and Tanya’s contract with Ms. Connie has ended the year I came back, Ms. Trixie discussed.

I don’t know what happened next. I lost contact to her. But Mr. Iniego told me earlier that Tanya suffered from her 3^rd to 5^th year under Ms. Connie’s management. I didn’t know that, I was about to ask her when you saw us talking outside your room, Ms. Trixie continued. Tanya, I want you to tell me what happened to ease the guilt I felt after hearing something from Mr. Iniego. Please? she begged.
