An Interview with a Playboy14.2
Without further ado.
What? Manila Tribunal? How the hell did you know my number? Dex demanded from the reporter who called his cellphone.
Since he arrived at the country after he want away for a long time, he received countless calls from various reporters who are aiming t get an interview but he only agreed to one. The news program of home channel of PBA wherein he only allowed a short period of time for the interview and did not even answer some of the questions. It was necessary for publicity of his return to the basketball scene, so he reluctantly agreed, much to his reluctance. The requests are unending, it kept on bothering him that hes starting to get pissed off.
I wont agree to any interview. Please respect my privacy. Thats it and he threw his cellphone at the passenger seat of his car then he went out from it. He wont care whoever calls him again.
Dex went inside the sports gym where the practice game of team was being held at. In few moments, hes already perspiring all over from the game. When he took a rest, a man in late thirties sat beside him.
Hi, Im Pete Regalado, he smiled as he introduced himself.
Reporter? he sarcastically asked before drinking Gatorade.
No. A fan and a producer.
Producer? Are you planning to recruit me to be a celebrity? he joked sarcastically. He never got used to speaking with people he doesnt know.
Pete lightly laughed. Actually, Im a producer of a TV magazine show. Id like to ask if you could be our guest on our second anniversary episode.
He snorted. You might not be a reporter but thats still your goal. Interview.
Well, you cant help people to be interested with someone like you. First off, you have a lot of fans. You are a public figure as a basketball icon. Secondly, you are very mysterious since you dont accept interviews. Thirdly, you are an heir of one of the richest families in the country. Thats why you cant stop the reporters around you.
I dont want to talk about myself. I dont see why people are interested in other peoples lives. They should just take care of their all lives and not other persons life. And do I not have the right to hide my personal life?
You dont need to share everything about your personal life.
I dont want anything to share with people I dont even know.
Pete nodded his head. I assure you that we will not ask you any question you dont agree with. What we really need is your presence in the show. Interview was just the second reason. Heres my calling card. If you change your mind, theres my contact number.
Dex accepted the card but he planned to throw it away after he went away.
By the way,Barkadahan Stuffis the title of the show.
Barkadahan Stuff? It rang a bell.
Yeah. Its a youth TV mag show. We are almost two years airing on channel three. Donald Adriatico and Jenna Castro are the hosts. Are you by little chance aware of the show?
Jenna
Of course, before he went away to US to rehabilitate his injury, he often watched Jennas TV show whenever he was sitting in his house. Every morning, he read newspapers and he often read her articles in Manila Daily Journal.
So, how was she now?
A smile slowly lined his lips.
