CHAPTER 31
Deloise was on the phone when her mother's call came in. She hesitated to pick it, not quite in the mood of lying so blatantly to her. On the third ring, Deloise swiped to the green button and slowly placed her phone on her ear. Half expecting the screaming voice of her mother." Baby, how are you doing?" The still voice of her mother spoke instead." I'm alright mum, sorry I didn't pick up earlier, didn't hear it ring." She said smoothly." No problems. It's fine. Talk to me about school. What's been happening? I heard that the exams are around the corner."" Oh yes! Sorry I didn't tell you. With the coming exams I've been really swamped up trying to prepare."" I understand. Take all the time you need. Don't hesitate to tell me if anything comes up okay? No matter how little, anything at all."" Definitely. I'll be back for the holidays with Anna after the exams. " Deloise said, making a mental note to inquire from Amanda when the exams were beginning and the time frame for the hol

CHAPTER 32
The meeting soon drew to an end and the esteemed guests were escorted out by Mr Austin. Deloise didn't move, she hoped to leave when the room was at least halfway emptied out. She felt lucky to be ignored the whole time by Ms Ema after the lashing she received.This experience wasn't the prettiest for her but it sobered her to the fact that she needed to take her job and life more seriously if she was going to last. It was a rude awakening - the fact that she could be dropped at the slightest misconduct.She had to be extremely careful and conscious of slip ups because this was the last chance at her dreams and life. She didn't have anything else. She couldn't fail at this.While pondering these thoughts, Deloise didn't notice Stella approach her. She jolted in surprise when she heard the sharp voice of Stella." What? Aren't you leaving?" She asked with a smile which Deloise detected as faux and mocking.When she didn't reply, Stella tutted and with graceful steps encircled her while

CHAPTER 33
Aaron was in the male restroom of the building. After being rudely asked out by Mr Austin, he figured he might as well relieve himself before leaving the building.On getting out to the hallways, he witnessed Deloise rush out of the office and after a few steps, plopped shakily on the floor with her head bowed." Was she…crying?"Aaron thought, unsure of what was going on. He carefully took steps forward, not knowing how to approach the situation. As he got closer, her sobs got louder and the fact she was crying became glaring.He knew that Mr Austin was pretty angry at the situation and the fact she was a no-show.

Aaron walked into his apartment with a scowl on his face.' I knew I should have walked away!' He thought angrily as he recalled his little tiff with Deloise." What's got you looking so disgruntled?" The voice of Tony made him aware he wasn't alone." Nothing. What are you doing here?" Aaron collapsed on his couch." What do you think? Playing hide and seek?" Tony replied with a mouthful. There was always something to eat at Aaron's.Upon hearing him, Aaron turned around and noticed the opened dominos on the table. His countenance grew poor. " Don't tell me you ate all the pizza bro."Tony picked a slice of pizza, took his time eating it, then finally spoke." I won't."He drank some water under the wrathful gaze of his friend and plopped down the opposite couch. " What's got your panties in a twist?" He inquired again with a straight face. Like he didn't just add to the reason for his friend's poor countenance.Aaron sighed, " I don't know who's more annoying at this point. You or

She also began classes the following day and made deliberate steps to avoid any sort of mishaps in her life moving forward.Later that day, she surprisingly came across a message bearing the filming schedule for the production and wondered if it was from the director. Her ponder was cut short when she realized that it was from the same number which had called and requested she go to the administrative building.She couldn't help but wonder his reason behind the oh so generous gesture. It was either he finally realized he was in the wrong and did it as some sort of apology or it was directed by Mr Austin.Whichever it was, Deloise couldn't care less.

The next day, Deloise woke up with a headache she described as demonic. Her head pounded while she attempted opening her eyes properly.A blinding streak of sunlight made her deck underneath her pillow. She sat up and memories of the previous night poured into her consciousness - reminding her of the very reason her head was in a terrible state.Of course it was the drink! She was such a deadbeat when it came to drinking and always found the morning after horrific.Again, she promised never to get drunk again, this time around, hoping she actually lived up to it. Feeling the urge to ease herself, Deloise attempted getting up on her feet but was brought back to bed by the sudden dizziness she felt.

She occasionally stopped taking her records to update herself on the next string of messages from Daniel.Somehow, he got hold of her number and made it a habit to torture her with multiple strings of messages all demanding for her to talk.At some point, the whole thing became funny, she couldn't deny that the attention was something and she unconsciously found herself looking forward to the next string of messages.Today, she wasn't in the mood.

The fact that his grandma didn't give him the time of the day brought a bitter taste to his mouth.The worst part was he couldn't seem to get his brother's words out of his head. The words of Moses kept ringing in his head while he navigated the way to his apartment.On getting inside, he shut the door and after two seconds of standing aloofly, all hell broke loose. He pushed down the lamp stand in his living room.Still not pacified, Aaron walked through the chards of glass and threw down the television, he used his legs to finish up the Job, grunting and panting all the way.After about thirty minutes of venting his anger on his properties, the entire living room was in Chaos.

" I believe you're not deaf, girl. I asked you to leave." Stella reiterated while Deloise stared in confusion." Uh– sorry but last I checked, this is my allocated–"" I don't want to hear it! I came in here first so you can head over to the communal area to finish up whatever you have going." Stella interrupted, snapping her feet as she ordered." This pod was designated for the female lead. Which happens to be me. I don't have an issue with you, take it up with the manager if there's a problem." Deloise snapped. There was only so much she could tolerate so early in the job." You must be feeling like some queen. Let me burst your bubble hunny, in this game, I'm your senior. Hell, I'm your mother in this industry, so you better watch your tone when speaking with me because I sure as hell could end you before you even begin."
