A Cold Lie

When Vain Celebrity (VC) found out that an Actress Friend (AF) was going overseas, he immediately asked her to buy him beauty products. As AF was nicely asked by VC, she saw no reason why she should not accommodate his request. Thus, she agreed without even knowing what VC wanted. When AF saw the long list of items VC gave her, she asked what he will do with so many face masks, lotions, moisturizers, etc.… AF said that VC has more requests than what she planned to buy for her personal needs. VC said that he will surprise His Girlfriend (HG). VC added that HG will love those imported products.

As AF is close to HG, she thought VC was very kind to consider HG. However, AF knew that HG was into specific brands and is under the care of a renowned skin clinic. Nonetheless, she obliged and during her trip, she sacrificed her personal shopping time just to find the brands VC wanted.

After her trip, AF dropped off the box at VC’s and was happy to have done a good deed for HG. Weeks later, AF and HG met. AF asked HG how she found the beauty products VC asked on her behalf. HG was clueless, as VC never gave her any item from AF. Then, she repeated what AF already knew, that is, she was not fond of such overseas products and she has a doctor to take care of her skin. AF was shocked and posed the question on what VC was going to do with so many products. AF said that the only reason she agreed to go out of her itinerary to find those products was VC’s insistence that the items were for HG. HG said that VC might have thought of reselling the said products.

When HG visited VC and went over to his room, she found out the answer to the question of AF. The products VC asked for AF to buy were neatly arranged in his room. She also noticed that he was wearing a face mask, which he did not bother to remove even when she was there with him. HG remained quiet and did no bring up the matter that he used her name to make AF agree to buy the items. HG did not want an awkward situation.

The next day, HG visited VC on the set of a project he was working on. The production was on break and HG proceeded to the accommodation of VC. She was not surprised at what she saw. VC was once again wearing a face mask and putting layers of cream on his skin. HG reminded him to just do his beauty regimen at home, as his practice might raise questions on his gender. VC gave a cold response and said that he does not care and people can think what they want to think about him. HG did not take his indifference to her advice kindly and she walked away, leaving VC to his vanity.
