******Amanda sat in her car watching as reporters crowded the entrance of the company; she was so furious and scared at the same time. As Amanda observed the hovering reporters, she realized that they were ready to devour anyone who was unfortunate to walk through that entrance.Amanda locked herself in car instinctively, sought out the dark sun-shades and scarf she made sure to always carry in her bag in case of emergencies like this. Amanda immediately lowered her head to avoid being spotted, wore her sun-shades and wrapped her scarf around her head. From what she met, she needed no one to enlighten her on the impossibility of passing through the entrance so, she hoped for an immediate divergence. Instantly, she felt her phone vibrate in her purse; she dipped her jittery hand into the purse and took out her phone. “Very convenient.” She sighed as her eyes recognized the caller’s name on her phone screen. She picked it up without hesitation “Hey Nelson!” she said to it, her head st
*****Amanda sat quietly in Bridget car saying nothing to her while her friend drove. She rested her head on the hand which she placed on the edge of rolled down window, enjoying the fresh breeze, letting her thought travel through the wind.Bridget took a glance at her friend but refrained from saying a word; she just did her best to focus on driving. She understood that the reporters were like a noose on Amanda's neck and the thin ice she stood barefooted on was melting up due to the imminent ancient sun.Bridget wished she could be her Best friend's knight in a shining armor, to save her from this grueling episode but, she realized her limits and all she could do was to pray for her friend and sister.Was Bridget over thinking Amanda's silence? Amanda on the other hand, never took notice of Bridget through out the drive. She just rambled back in time to the awkwardness she felt the previous day. After her meeting with Mr. Wright senior—as she chose to now call him, she went back to
****** “I hear the reporters are all over you, are you hiding from them?” Elena asked when they settled on the furry white sofas in Elena's office.“For now yes. I won’t want to put my current employer in jeopardy.” Amanda replied she was right. Getting away from her celebrity life for a while was her idea and get an office job was also her choice but not she couldn't clearly tell which one was better for her anymore because of how complicated it started to be.“The fact that you now work in a person’s company is preposterous. Brid, why did you let her do that?” Elena asked the same question Bridget has been asking herself.“I wouldn’t have if she had told me before getting the Job.” Bridget defended, facing Amanda and raising her eye brows. “You girls don’t get it.” Amanda cut in, hopping to end their argument. “No we do. You and Troy got off on a wrong foot and the reporters are hunting you but you can’t hide forever Amanda.” Elena voiced calmly. “True, you’re still going to fac
*****Amanda got down from Louis car and thanked him for the ride; she waved him goodbye as she watched him drove off. “Shit, he’s gonna be pissed.” She looked down at her watch; it was already 4:45pm. Amanda ran into the Hall, apologizing to everybody she collided with on the cause of her running. Finally, she made her way into the library; she could see Mr. Christopher Adams already signing some books and at the look of the queue in front of him, Amanda could tell he was almost done.She moved quietly over to Wright Junior’s side “I’m so sorry I’m late.” She whispered er apology so just him could hear her.. “What happened?” He ask with a straight face fixed on Mr. Adams, avoiding to look at her “I was—“ She then was interrupted by Mr. Adams who called for Wright Junior’s attention. Mr. Adams was done with his book signing and Amanda could hear him thank Junior for all the work and that he had to leave immediately because he had an appointment to keep.Junior shook his hands and
*****“What nonsense!” Amanda yelled. She was linked to the meeting which Kate held at the agency. And whatever they were saying to her made her want to break the laptop in front of her Seated round the glass oval table in a spacious white painted office was her manager, her legal adviser, Troy and his manager. And Amanda had to attend the meeting using her laptop.“What do you have to prove sending all those reporters, huh tell me?” She yelled again, directing her questions to Troy who sat quietly, leaving his manager do all the talking.“All we are saying is that you should apologize publicly for hurting Troy in public.” Troy's manager requested. “Why should I do that? He is lucky I didn’t aim at his handsome face.” She snapped. “Amanda!” Kate called, hoping to help keep Amanda's temper under control. And all attempt failed when Troy said the wrong words.“You are a crazy bitch, you know that?” Troy finally spoke out, pissing Amanda off badly. “And you are a wild dog. The kind t
****That afternoon, Mr. Wright had requested that Junior come with Amanda to the family house. It was an unnecessary request, but Junior couldn’t tell why his father wanted her there and what game his father was playing. And as things were, he chose not to question his father. A part of him liked that they were going o be together but another part of him didn't want to drag her into his family mess.Just as he approached his car with Amanda, he heard a female voice calling out his name and just then, he recognized it. “Junior!” The lady called again.He turned to see who it was; it was Sarah standing in the parking lot. She called his name one more time before walking closer to where he was“Hey Sarah.” He voiced out, surprised to see her there.Sarah! Amanda echoed in her head. She could finally put a face to the name. She saw Sarah walk closer to Wright Junior, placing one hand on his and all she could see was a girl in love. Then, she wondered why Junior said she wasn’t his Girl
******“Welcome Miss Amanda. Please you are to wait in the living room. Mr. Wright will like to speak with Mr. Junior alone in his office.” A nice lady in her mid-fourties, dressed in maids clothing told Amanda politely, ushering her into the living room. “Thank you.” Amanda replied with a smile “I’ll be out soon.” Junior assured her then, followed the nice lady out of the living room, he got in front of his dad’s office door, responded to the lady’s greetings then, watch her leave before venturing into his father's office. Swinging open the door, he looked around to see if there were guest around but there weren't except his father who was standing by his window, watching the outside world. Mr. Wright could sense his son’s anger as he walked into the room. He smiled and asked “How was the drive here?”Ignoring his father's fair question, he asked “How could you drag Amanda into this mess? What if something goes wrong, do you know what’s that’s going to do to her?” He was furiou
*****Amanda waited for everyone to leave the office that evening. Although, it was difficult for her to get rid of her only friend at work, she still had to successfully convince him to leave. She told Nelson that her boss was unable to make it to work so, he instructed her to do some paper work in the office. Of course, that information was a lie but it was the only way Nelson could leave. When she noticed everyone had left, she took the yellow file and hurried straight to Tony Wright’s office on the sixth floor. Tony had told her he would be out so, she found his secretary sitting in her small desk in front of a black french door, belonging to Tony's office. The lady was already expecting Amanda and immediately her eyes found Amanda walking towards her table, she got up and politely acknowledged Amanda's presence before opening the door to Tony's office for Amanda to go in. Amanda looked around his office; it was her first time entering Tony’s office. “This look more like a livi
