So Strings Detached

It seems that infatuated actress (IA) has a favorite vegetable for her 'yaya' and helpers. IA would buy pails of Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. subsp. sesquipedalis or yard long beans, or whatever you call it, 'sitaw' will always be 'sitaw.' Then, she will have them cooked and frozen. For the next two weeks or until supply lasts, 'sitaw' would be the staple viand for her entire household staff. As to why she loves 'sitaw,' we can only guess. Definitely, buying them fish or meat will get her love points.

One day, IA locked out her maids while she was out taping. The poor maids had to wait it out and slept in the garage until IA returned. They did not even have access to food. The door of the house was only opened when IA arrived. IA's excuse was that she forgot to leave her house keys and only realized it when she was already too far away.

In another incident, her road manager (RM) came in a few minutes late for IA's out-of-town shoot. IA already left the house and was already on the road to the shoot. RM thus got on a cab and instructed the driver to go fast and chase IA's car. Thankfully, they were able to reach her at the stop light, such that the cab and IA's car were already beside each other. But to RM's dismay, IA would not open the car to let her in. She was so deaf to RM's pleadings and the cab's repeated honking. When RM realized the futility of her appeal, she had no choice but to take the same cab to get her to the far away location shoot. Needless to say, that meant a sizeable amount of fare money.

Unlike some other popular personalities, IA is never known to have violent streaks towards her helpers. She comes from a well-off family background and she is one of the more popular showbiz personalities. A star of her status, with huge talent fees, she can, at the very least, provide her helpers comfort and care.

Will there come a time that IA live up to her name in treating her help right? Remember, unlimited loyalty is something not feasible with just  unlimited 'sitaw' supply.
