He is my assistant
As Rhodes stood outside the house, his hands resting behind his back, he inhaled the fresh air.And then he heard the front door open and looked back to see Noah approaching him, and then he focused ahead of him.Standing by Rhodes, Noah didn't say a word for a while, but after a time, he looked at him again and asked, “Did my parents send someone to tail me?”“What are you talking about, young master?” Rhodes asked with a concerned expression as he turned his whole body to Noah to lock eyes with him.“On a serious note, don't pretend with me. I need to know if this is their doing or a threat.” “If they did such, I have no idea about it. What happen?” Not saying a word, Noah stared into space, deep in thought, and then said, “Yesterday, when Leo and I were going to pick up Genevieve, I noticed a suspicious black car in the rearview mirror, following us from a safe distance and it tailed us to the airport.”“I will call those at the penthouse and find out if this is a threat or just

You will be held responsible
Looking Genevieve dead in the eyes, Noah could not tell if she knew exactly what she was saying or if it was a guess, so he tried to look casual and asked, “What are you talking about?”“Before you, it was just Leo and me, fighting against the darkness that clouded our life, and then you met us on that fateful day, and slowly things in our lives started to shift for the better.” Genevieve began, and her eyes started to sparkle as she continued, “I am not complaining. It's just you are one of the best things that ever happened to us.”Secondguessing if he should come clean to her right then and there, Noah mumbled, “I-”“I know it's not literally you doing all of this. But I believe you are behind changes because you are Leo and lucky charm, and you are the antidote to my curse...” Genevieve questioned, biting her lip. “I sound stupid... Don't I? This is real life. Not some fairytale where a charming prince breaks the sleeping princess's curse with a kiss.”Smiling down at Genevieve wi

They are interested in her
After the taxi made a stop at Joyful Learning Academy, Genevieve stepped out of the car, hurrying to the entrance of the campus, where she stopped near the main building when she felt someone grab her wrist. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw Leo beaming at her, and just then, a lady approached the two, smiling at Genevieve. “Leo is fast on his feet.” She said, looking down at the kid. “I told him to wait at the playground with the others, but when he saw you, he got so eager.” “Leo, next time, you should listen to Miss Lewis and wait, okay?” Genevieve softly scolded, making Leo pout as he looked up at her. “Sorry, Miss Lewis.” He then apologized to the lady, who shook her head and smiled brightly at him. “That's all right. Even so, you are a good kid.” She uttered with a grin. “I should get back to other children.” After his teacher left, Leo held onto his mother's arm, looked around at the gate, and asked, “Where’s uncle Jack?” “He has something important to take care of,

Brainwash
The dinner table was silent, and Genevieve kept staring over at Noah, but his eyes were glued to his food, and the fact that he had been quiet since they got back from the restaurant had her feeling a bit suffocated and anxious. She wasn't the only one who felt the awkward tension... Leo did, and he stared between the two of them for a few minutes before he finally cleared his throat and said in a tone more polite, “I am sorry. I promise not to leave Miss Lewis's side again. I promise.” Snapping out of his thoughts, Noah threw Leo a calm look and asked, “What are you talking about, bud?” “Well, he disobeyed the teacher again and left her side to come over to me when I went to get him,” Genevieve mumbled, seeing Leo pout as he stared at his plate. Trying not to smile and look serious, Noah gazed at him and said, “Bud?” “Are you mad at me?” Leo mumbled, looking down at his lap, where he held his hands together. “Mad is a strong word, buddy. But it would be best if you obeyed you

Something dangerous
With her gaze on the page, Genevieve took her time reading through the contract, and then she noticed Noah waking from the bed. After doing a little stretch, he approached her and kissed her on the head, mumbling, “Morning.” “Good morning,” She replied, but her eyes stayed on the paper. “What are you on?” “Reading through the contract. Remember? James wanted me to drop it off today.” Sighing hard, Genevieve rested her head on the document and groaned, “But after what happened to Glenn, I don't know if EXAT would still want to work with me. Honestly, I won't be shocked if they terminate the contract today.” Chuckling, Noah caressed her hair and said, “You'll be fine. Have a little faith.” “Glenn is the soon-to-be daughter-in-law of the Stark family.” Genevieve cried, lifting her head to look at him. “And because of me, that happened to her! And it happened in front of Mrs. Stark. Do you think I will get away with that! It already seems like Mrs. Stark hates me.” Seeing a mixture

Do you promise
Resting back in the front seat of the car, Genevieve kept her eyes on the window, watching the street pass by as her mind drifted through the thoughts of how her meeting was going to go with Director James. For a moment, Rhodes stared at the side mirror, growing concerned by the second that the car didn't only follow them when they were dropping Leo to school, but it was now driving after them every turn he made. “Father,” Genevieve mumbled, grabbing his attention from the mirror again, “About Jack...” Withdrawing from the window, Genevieve stared at him and asked, “Do you know where he went?” “He didn't tell you?” Rhodes asked. His tone was laced with surprise. He glanced out of the corner of his eye toward her as she shook her head. “I didn't want to push him this morning, but I guess I am more curious than I thought I was.” “Well, umm, he's still in search of a job. I think he feels guilty living off my pension funds.” A sad smile tugged at Genevieve’s lips as she looked dow

“Wait, my cousin?”
Even though the callback was at ten o’clock, Genevieve, Rhode, and Noah were in the casting waiting room at nine o’clock, and she looked nervously at the door and then back at Noah. Reaching for her hand, Noah took it in his and squeezed it, saying, “You are going to kill it.” The dark circle under his eyes made her smile, knowing that he stayed up all night, practicing with her, and she fell asleep before he did. With a smile, she tiptoed toward his lips and kissed him before pulling back and whispering, “For good luck.” When he let go of her hand, Genevieve took one last look at the two, and then she headed into the room, leaving the two outside. At nine fifty o’clock, Rhodes and Noah were seated in the hall when a lady wearing black pants with a white blouse approached the room, and when she opened the door, she popped her head into the waiting room and said, “All actresses and actors here for the callback, please follow me in the theater.” Those words made Genevieve’s heart s

So-called Blessing
“Glenn was the one who's supposed to play Jane?” Genevieve repeated in disbelief, feeling a little suffocated. Looking over at James, Noah scowled at him and asked, “Why didn't you tell her who the actress was that was ineffective for the role?” “I did mention it to you... Didn't I?” James mumbled as he cocked his head to the side, feigning innocence as his smug grin remained firmly planted. “You did not! If you did, I wouldn't have accepted the job,” Genevieve gritted out, anger burning in her chest, before turning away to avoid eye contact. Staring at her with furrowed brows, Director Rheyns thought about it for a while and then said, “But why? Is there an issue between Glenn and you?” Not wanting to explain the complicated relationship she and her cousin had, Genevieve, sighed out her frustration and mumbled, “No. There isn't.” “Well, whatever it is, I am glad you agreed to the callback because you are Jane. You are what we envisioned her to be. The emotions are raw, the conn

Did you do it
With a worried look, Director James walked into Mr. Stark's office, and when he and the chairman's gaze locked, he drew his eyes to the floor and said, “Good morning, boss. Charlotte told me that you requested to see me?” “Yes. You are fire.” Mr. Stark said in a flat tone. “You will get compensated, and you should clear your desk.” A look of horror and disbelief flashed through Director James's face, and it took him a long moment to collect himself enough to answer back, “Boss, I don't understand?” Giving him a dull stare, Mr. Stark frowned and said, “What’s not the to understand? You are fire. Clear your desk and walk out, and don't return to the company. Another casting director will come in soon to replace you.” With that, Mr. Stark returned to the large stack of papers on his table and picked up his pen. Confused and desperate, Director James stood there, staring at Mr. Stark, and then he let out as the office door opened, “Is this about yesterday... about Genevieve? Whatever

Did you do this?
Everyone was waiting in anticipation, ready for Genevieve’s reaction, and she stated calmly, “Since you all seem pretty eager to know, I will say this once and only once.” The reporters grew quiet, their cameras trained on her, waiting for her response. She glanced at the camera one more time, her eyes burning as she stared, then she took a deep breath. “I stole nothing from her. The callback took place and I did what I was told to do. About Glenn falling, it was an accident. That's all.” Genevieve finished coldly. “So are the rumors of you begging Director James to be the one sent for the callback after injuring Glenn is not true?” “I have spoken my truth. If you wish to continue spreading the lies, then so be it. But please leave me alone.” With that, Genevieve turned away from the group, approaching Noah, and he opened the back door for her, watching her enter. “I believe the rumors. She was way too defensive and cold towards us.” One reporter said. “Well, it's obvious. S
