" Do you perhaps have a personal grudge against me that I don't know about?" Justin couldn't help but ask." Rule number one, always keep a distance, even your closest friend could turn out to be the enemy." Miranda replied and walked away leaving behind a dumbfounded Justin. Why did she sound a lot like his late Master? Ignoring that absurd thought,he trailed behind her. Miranda walked straight to the door and tried to open it but realised it was locked.She turned to look at Justin silently asking him to open the door.Seeing her look at him,he decided to use this chance to get back at her. Instead of opening the door,he leaned on the door and cocked his brows at her, challenging her to beg him.Miranda, who was growing impatient waiting for the man to drop his childish acts and open the door finally realised that the man had no intention of opening the door.Retrieving a phone-like device from her bag,she connected a small wire-like string to the lock. After pressing repeatedly f
After Miranda entered the room,she shut the door behind her. She needed to call her assistant and make several adjustments to her schedule. Now that she can't go to the office,she'll be forced to work from home and that includes attending meetings online. Weeks went by with Miranda still staying at Justin's villa. For some reason,the news about the CEO of Lambert group being seen kissing Justin kept getting more attention every day. people were discussing why would an independent woman like her get involved with a scandalous man like Justin, ofcourse Justin's fans would stand by and accuse Miranda of seducing their idol.Some people even started speculating that maybe she was ugly despite being rich, that's why she tried to create a scandal with Justin. Others said that maybe she was old and wanted to trap Justin into marriage using the scandal.Seeing the two presenters on TV talking about it, Miranda scoffed. How could people be so idle as to sit down and start discussing her? Were
" You are right,no man can tolerate me." Miranda replied casually but Justin still heard the pain in her words.He was taken aback,it was the first time she did not utter arrogant words. He wondered what could be the story behind her pain.He has to figure it out."Am sorry,I didn't mean it." Justin swallowed his pride and apologised." It's okay,you don't need to be." Miranda replied, changing the channel to her favourite documentary station.Justin could only shake his head. Which lady in her mid twenties watches documentaries? Aren't they supposed to be watching romance movies?But he knew from experience that Miranda was no regular lady he was acquainted with. She was not a normal case.He decided to leave her alone and head upstairs,he was tired from shooting all day long. It was at this moment when he thought perhaps going back and living as the prince he was was better.Justin went to take a rest while Miranda stayed in the sitting room watching documentaries. She was bored to
But Ava still held it and decided to confront the devil himself. She was not one to cower in fear and succumb to her worries. If he dared to try something funny, she'll just retaliate. Twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at the entrance of a company. The three who had driven here by the company van stepped down." THE JOHNSON COMPANY"Those were the words engraved on the entrance of the company. Just who in the whole of Country A did not know of the Johnston family? Ava shivered thinking of a memory twelve years down the drain. She was 12 years old by then. Ava had gone to visit her grandmother over the school holiday. She had enjoyed her vacation but something happened on the last day of her visit. The village was attacked or let's say the Village was caught in between a crossfire between two mafia groups.She can still remember how people were gunned down before her eyes. She had gone to the village playground when the whole thing started so she rushed back to seek refuge.
Ronald then passed two contracts to Mr Adams. Looking at the contracts,one was written " the model" and the other" blue ocean entertainment." Not quite understanding why they were two he voiced his question. " Mr Ronald, why do I see two contracts? I thought it should be a single one?"Ronald who had been busy admiring the queen of his heart was irritated hearing the question. He wondered whether the CEO was ignorant or plain stupid." Different contracts for different parties. The agency has a different contract from the model's" He explained impatiently." Why should I have a different contract? I am signed under blue ocean so we only need to sign one." Ava complained but Ronald remained quiet. He just glanced at the CEO, his gaze was deep as if telling him to control his models.Mr Adams shivered in his seat. He could feel a thick cold sweat run down his back. Even after being in the industry for so long,it's the first time he encountered such a scary man.He himself wasn't one t
Ava took hurried steps out of the company, she didn't want to spend a moment longer here. God knows what she can do to that man if she stays any longer. One thing she was sure of now is that either he was out for revenge or he was here to fulfil his words from twelve years ago but irrespective of his reasons,he had absolutely no right to try and get her with such ridiculous terms.Flagging a cab, she didn't even wait for her poor manager who was on the run to reach her. As if the driver was sensing her distress,he does away leaving a dumbfounded August alone.After riding for almost ten minutes, Ava realised that he hadn't told the driver her destination but was somehow surprised that he was taking the exact route to her house. She shivered thinking that she could have earned herself yet another stalker. In showbiz it was not a new thing for a superstar to have crazy and obsessive fans turning to stalkers, she was once a victim of stalking. That crazy fan would stalk her all day and
" Do you like your new home?" Ronald asked. " It's you again!" Ava said, her voice trembling."Why am I here?" She asked." You are working under me and the contract dictates that you live with me of course." Ronald replied nonchalantly." I haven't signed the contract yet, this is considered as kidnapping,I could sue you." Ava threatened but she knew very well that it was useless. " Oh you can try darling." Ronald replied and chuckled, annoying Ava even more." What exactly do you want? Please let me go?" Ava pleaded." Oh you know very well what I want, Ava Adams." Ronald replied seriously." Is this about the slap I gave you?" She asked,her voice shivering." Oh no darling, but I will collect my interest for that slap you gave me." " Then what the hell do you want?" Ava asked, her voice raised." I want you my wife, don't you think it's about time I claim what is mine?" Ronald replied." And is this the way you claim a woman? By caging her using a damn contract? What am I? A
You are my manager. What do you mean you have no idea? Besides, why do I have to call the CEO? Since when did models start talking directly to the CEO?": Ava questioned not quite believing her manager knew nothing about her predicament. Are they using such tricks to force her to sign the contract? "'Am serious here Ava,I was told to go home until I receive a call from the company so I know nothing of what is happening."August insisted." Okay." Ava said, disconnecting the call. It seems that this matter was out of the hands of her manager. She figured out the only way to know the way forward was to call the CEO directly. It's not like she had a choice. The call was accepted immediately, making Ava wonder if the CEO had been waiting for her call and his next words proved her thoughts right." Ava dear,I have been waiting for your call." The Man said, dropping the formalities between them. Mr Adams had figured out that if he wanted to be in a safe place,he had to make Ava sign that c
