"The fans have submitted a lot of questions, do you want to answer all of it here?" The host asked, I faked a smile and nodded.

"Have you dated anyone before?"

My brows furrowed as I answer "no".

"Would you rather lose your career or lose your girl"

I don't have a girl, "lose my career".

The fans cheered and some of them blushed, Everyone can easily fall for my lies while I'm here smiling like an idiot.

"Is there a possibility that you'll be dating one of your fans?"

My lips curved, "Feelings cannot be stopped so, yes"

The fans cheered and the host started blushing as well.

"Is there a possibility that you'll fall in love with a boy?"

My smile dropped as my face began to show disgust "no, I'm straight".

The host pursed his lips and cleared his throat before continuing.

"Are you seeing someone or like, starting to fall in love with someone?"

I shifted my gaze back to the audience and smiled genuinely, "No, not yet".

"Okay, since our time is running out, thank you for answering all of the questions. Please give Adrian Dale Delocastre a round of applause"

I smiled and waved goodbye before leaving the stage. I took my phone out of my pocket and saw a message sent by my manager.

"You did a great job, meet us here on the second floor. We'll be waiting"

I rolled my eyes and started walking towards the elevator, pressing the down button, the elevator opened revealing a girl inside who doesn't seem to notice me since her eyes are closed. I stepped inside and stood beside her to examine her innocent face.

Heart-shaped face, well-shaped eyes, long blonde hair, thin lips, straight-edged nose. In short, Perfect.

I smiled and closed my eyes, waiting for the elevator door to open but then, the elevator stopped, causing us to bump into each other, waking her up.

"What!" She yelled in shock while holding my sleeves tight.

I sighed and looked at my watch, 2:40 pm. There's still time.

"Uh, let go," I calmly said, doing my best not to frighten her. She immediately did what I said and looked around, still not back to her senses.

I pressed the emergency button and luckily they answered.

"Good afternoon sir" The girl greeted.

"We're stuck inside this elevator, can you help us out of here as soon as possible?" I said as my jaw clenched.

"Sure sir, give us an hour to fix everything. Please stay calm, we promise to get you out" She sweetly said.

Can this day get any worse? "Yeah sure," I answered.

"What now? What do we do?" She asked and bit her lower lip, nervous.

My lips started forming a small smile, "Wait, That's the only thing that we can do"

She blinked two times and smiled awkwardly, "Oh, right".

...

Five minutes of silence, I decided to break it by asking her a question.

"Do you know me?"

She shifted her gaze back to me, her eyes were full of confusion, "No but you look familiar" She answered.

I smiled and nodded, "I'm Adrian Dale Delocastre and you are?"

"Samantha Heather Salviore" She offered her hand that I immediately accepted.

I looked at my watch to check the time, 3:00 Pm. 40 more minutes then we're out.

I turned my gaze back to my phone as I felt it vibrate in my hand. I immediately answered as I saw the caller id.

"Where are you? What's taking you so long?" He asked with his concerned tone.

I shook my head and sighed, "I'm stuck in the elevator with a girl"

"A girl?!" He yelled.

My brows furrowed, "Don't yell, she doesn't know me"

A sigh of relief escaped his mouth, enough for me to hear. "Okay, I'll do something to get you two out. Just avoid ruining your reputation, I don't want to hear the news telling your fans that you're dating someone"

My lips curved as soon as he said that.

"It's fine to have the news telling everyone that I'm dating her." I paused and looked at her while she, on the other hand, is avoiding my gaze.

"I like her, she's interesting" I added.
