Chapter 14

Rosebud Martinez

‘Click… click… click’

I stood somewhere in the studio as I watched Bruce trying different poses whilst the camera kept clicking.

We’ve been here for two hours. The first hour was for his makeup and prep, and the second, changing clothes and taking pictures.

I never realised how demanding modeling was. I could never imagine myself doing this.

“Alright… Good job. Let's take a break.” The director said, wrapping up for now, which meant that we still had a long way to go.

Bruce's eyes were on me as he walked over to me, a smile playing on his lips. “Hey!” He stood in front of me.

“Hey!” I reached for his face and wiped it with a handkerchief. I read about the work of an assistant before I came here, and this is part of it, though it felt awkward.

Bruce's face turned red for a moment, but he quickly snatched the handkerchief from me and turned away briefly, wiping his sweat by himself.

‘What was that? Was he embarrassed or uncomfortable that I was helping cl

    Chapter 20Mathew“You know this is a terrible idea, Megan.” I muttered, turning away from Megan, and dragging my fingers through my hair.“I am not asking you to do anything, Mathew. I just want you to go with me.” she pressed on, tugging at my arm and pouting her lips cutely. A gesture that would have me do anything she wants from me, but definitely not this one.“I told my classmates that I'll be coming with my boyfriend! It'll be embarrassing to show up alone.” she added, sadness creeping up her face.“Megan…” I held her shoulders, eyes on her. “You can ask for anything else, but not this. I can't go with you.”“Mathew—”“Do you have any idea what you are saying, Megan? This is dangerous! What if Rose sees us together?”“Do you think this will end well if Rose—”“Rose! Rose!! Rose!!! Does everything have to be about her? I'm fucking sick and irritated of that name!” She yanked my hands off and yelled at the top of her lungs, pulling at her hair.“You need to listen to me, Meg. We

    Chapter 19 Rosebud Martinez Mathew's phone rang out for the umpteenth time as we had breakfast together, but each time, he kept snoozing and rejecting the call. I knew for sure that it was Megan. “Why don't you take the call? It might be important.” I told him when the phone rang out again. He looked at me, a small smile playing on his lips. “It's my secretary. I don't want anything to interrupt our breakfast.” “Okay.” I replied simply and continued eating. Silence crept into the atmosphere, only the sound of our cutleries echoed through the dining room. I was enjoying the silence, at least I could get a peaceful moment for myself, but it didn't last long because Mathew soon interrupted. “Honey, I might not be home tonight. I'll be busy at the office for a few days because of the preparation of the incoming event.” I looked at him, seeing through his eyes that couldn't convey his lies. “Alright.” His eyes flashed with surprises. Normally, I would chip in and ask where I can

    Chapter 18Rosebud Martinez My lips curled in a smile as memories of earlier clawed back in my head, and the thought of Mathew being all over Megan and apologising for scolding her back there made me chuckle, forgetting that I was still in the car with Bruce.Bruce glanced at me and smiled. “Something good must've happened.”“Yes. Something good did really happen.” I chuckled, covering my mouth with my hands. I tried to control it, but couldn't. It was just too funny not to laugh at.“I see.” Bruce knew better not to question me. I wasn't about to tell him anyway.“What were you doing at the boutique, anyway? You didn't look like you went shopping.” He asked after a long silence.I shrugged. “I was around the area for a meeting.” “Oh…”“What about you? What were you doing around there?”“Same here. I went for a business meeting around the neighborhood.”“Alright…” I mouthed unsure what to say.An awkward silence kicked in.“So, what's the plan for your company's anniversary so far?”

    Chapter 17Rosebud Martinez ‘I'm here, honey’.I had just stepped out of the conference room when Mathew's text came in.‘I’ll join you shortly’Got my bag from my office, and headed outside to join him.I spotted him, leaning against his car. Hands inside pockets. And an annoying smile on his face as I approached him.“Honey…” he straightened up.“I didn't bother you, did I?” “Yes, you did.” I resisted the urge to tell him those words, and instead just smiled and said, “Let's go.”I walked past him to go hop inside the car, and he did the same.“Did you have lunch yet?” He glanced at me, that annoying smile still on his face.“Hmm.”“I did too.” He chuckled dryly, trying hard to be funny. I didn't ask though.He drove out of the company.“Honey, you must've been so busy that you forgot my company's anniversary.” He tried to strike a conversation on our way.“That is unlike you.” He added.That took me back to memory lane. How I used to take this anniversary upon myself like it was

    Chapter 16Rosebud Martinez “What's my schedule for today, Clara?” I didn't spare Clara a glance, as my gaze was fixated on my computer screen, slowly scrolling through the market stock.I started working as soon as I arrived at the company thirty minutes ago.“Appointment with Mr. John by noon. Sightseeing by 2pm, and board meeting by 4pm.”I paused and rubbed my temple, groaning silently. That's a whole lot of work to do today. I was already exhausted from yesterday, but they were all important, so postponing any of them wasn't even an option.“Alright.” I nodded.“Ms. Kendal of Kent corp reached out, ma. She said she needed to discuss something with you directly.”“Not today, Clara. Tell her Thursday when she reaches out to you again. I will send you the details of the place and time before then.” I waved my hand in the air dismissively, reclining on the chair.“Alright, ma.”“You can go if that's all. I'll call you if I need anything else.” I dismissed her.*****My phone rang as

    Chapter 15Rosebud Martinez “Who was that, Rose?”I saw Mathew standing close to the window, but he turned to face me the moment I walked inside the living room.I rolled my eyes. For fuck’s sake, I had a long day today, and the last thing I wanted was to be bothered by him.“I've been calling you nonstop, Rose. Why didn't you answer your phone?” He didn't wait for me to answer his first question before he threw another one to me. Not that I was planning to answer, anyway.Is he seriously asking me that when he spent the night at Megan's?“I had work to do.” I replied to him simply.“Work to do? It's Sunday today, Rose. And why didn't you tell me about this so-called work?” He raised his voice, his face burning with fury. Seriously? Does he have an idea how much he sucks at acting? He thought I would fall for that and think he cares so much about me?“Cut me some slack, Mathew. Don't make a big deal out of this. Besides, you didn't sleep at home too last night, and you didn't let me
