13 Repos

Ryzen POV

As soon as his speech ended, I went backstage to go visit him. That's my main purpose, anyway.

Like what I expected, there's already lots of people talking to him. Some people were giving me weird gazes too, probably wondering why I was there when I wasn't even a part of their team.

I gulped down and gathered my confidence to make it through the crowd. Finally, I got near him.

"Hi, Lennox!" I said loudly.

I saw him stop talking to the person he's speaking to and turned to me. Some other people too started looking at me. Ah, that's right, I forgot I was quite well-known as Senator Costales' only grandaughter. I actually see quite familiar faces too like Melissa and Paolo Almonte, who are both veteran celebrities. From the looks of it, they seemed to have volunteered to campaign for Lennox.

"I'm Millen Yu, remember? I was listening to your campaign today and you were so good. I know you'll surely make it!" I said happily.

As if he got enlightened or something, Lennox gave out a slight smile at me.

"Yes, of course I remember. Thank you for stopping by." he said in a polite tone.

I got out my phone and showed him the pictures that I have taken earlier.

"See... I even took photos. Do you mind if I post them on my Instagram?" I asked, trying to make the conversation a little longer.

Lennox leaned a little bit towards me so our shoulders rubbed a bit as he tried to look at the photos in my phone. Even though I'm already tall as Millen Yu, he was still towering over me.

"Hmm... these are really good photos. Can you please tag me as well?" he said in a deep voice.

I feel quite uncomfortable with the position and he is quite close to me... I feel my heart skip a little bit.

"Of course! Sure!" I hastily said.

When he finally moved away from me, I finally feel relieved for no reason. I guess, it's because there's something about him that makes you uncomfortable for no reason.

After he talked to me, another person talked to him straight away... and it's like they're never-ending. I never found a chance after that.

But at least, he saw me and even acknowledged me, right? Small steps at a time! Sooner or later, I'll finally get him to fall hard for me.

While travelling on the way home, I posted the photos I took straight away and tagged Lennox. It got likes instantly just like my other photos and lots of comments as well. I think it was quite good for me too since most of the comments were positive.

citizenlod: Wow, even Millen Yu is supporting Lennox Zevallos as a mayor. This is really a wake-up call for everyone in La Coron.

randomgirl326: I'm so happy that you choose to speak up, Millen. You have lots of followers now and Lennox will get even more exposure. I hope he wins.

Based from what I see on social media, Lennox is already a favourite amongst millenials, the young people. But then again, there's still the common people to consider.

I got busy reading through the comments when a notification popped up and made my phone vibrate.

'lennoxzevallos posted a photo.'

'lennoxzevallos tagged you in a post.'

'lennoxzevallos mentioned you in a comment.'

I quickly clicked the notification and saw that Lennox actually reposted the photos that I took and even tagged me in it. He even did a small mention.

lennoxzevallos: Campaign gathering today. Thank you everyone for coming today to listen to us. As always, I would like to thank the volunteers in this campaign, especially to Ms. Melissa and Mr. Paolo Almonte. (Pictures credit to @millenu. Thanks.)

Although it was just a small mention, it melts my heart a bit.

Somehow, I am excited to get to know this man even more. I am slowly understanding a part of the reason why Millen Yu's absurd goal revolves around him.
