Chapter 25: He can't hide anything
SIMONE'S P.O.V
He held my shoulder and take a deep breath. I can tell how nervous he is and his eyes shows it.
"Vivian is seducing me underneath the table."
"Wait, what?! What did she do? Underneath the table? Stop! I think I know what she did. She use use feet and caress your...never mind."
"Hey, I didn't let her do...until that place. I kick her feet underneath and close it, okay?"
"Whatever."-I said. I am acting mad but I know he's telling the truth. I walk away but he suddenly held my waist and carried me up.
"We have to talk. We will never be in that situation again, missy."-he said. That's when I can't hold my laughter and he gave me that look.
"You--are you playing around, huh?"
"Why? You think I will be mad again? I saw it myself. I know what happened and I knew that your not lying. Relax, Russell. You"re the one who's nervous here. Put me down, your still recovering. Let's go to bed and tomorrow I have to work the hell out of me. Let's go."-I said. He put me down and we walk upstairs. I let him sleep first and after that I went down and start working. I saw that I have so many things to do, I better cut this workload off. When I look at the clock, its already morning. I yawn and lean on my swivel chair. Until I slowly...fell asleep.
"Mrs. Molly?! Mrs. Molly?! Where's Simone?"
I slowly open my eyes and stood up. I stretch my back, did I feel asleep here? Urgh, my waist and neck is killing me. My goodness. I stretch my body and went out. He saw me and look at me.
"Don't tell me you...sleep in your office?"
"Uhm. I didn't realize that I sleep while reading some papers. Have you eaten? Wait, what time is it?"-I ask. I saw the clock on the door of dining room. Its already seven in the morning.
"Oh my, let's have some breakfast."-I said.
"Can you at least stop working at night? That time of the day should be given to our body and take some rest. My goodness, Simone."
"I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean that way. Can you just forgive me, hmm? Come on, lets have some breakfast."-I said. He just sigh.
"Okay."-he said. I kiss him and smile.
"Good morning by the way."
"Indeed, good morning."-he said. After eating breakfast, he said that he'll be in the study and try to refresh his memories about business lectures he had in his college days. While me, yes I am here again at my table and facing these documents. When I finish my work, its already past lunch. I went to the kitchen and ask Mrs. Molly if he eats.
"Not yet either ma'am Simone."-she said.
HAVEN'S P.O.V
He held my hand and pin me on the wall. I gave him a confused glances. His eyes are burning with wrath. What is wrong with him?
"Sir, what are you doing?"-I said.
"Don't call me Sir. I told you to stay away from him! Why can't you just listen to me?"-he hiss.
"He is my friend, what do you want me to do, avoid him? Sir, stop meddling in my personal life. You are just my boss. Stop dominating even my personal life!"-I screamed. His eyes became furious.
"When I want something I will always have it. Even you!"-he hiss. He force himself and kiss me. I push him and wipe my lips. He suddenly realize what he did as tears fall in cheeks.
"I will resign effective today, Sir."-I said firmly. I walk towards the door and close it.
"Why did you do this to me...? If you only knew."
I sat down and sob as I shed my tears that are running down my cheeks.
"And...cut!"-director Dana shouted. I stood up and take my hanky on my coat. I cleared my throat.
"Thank you everyone."-I said and bow.
"It was you who makes our life easier. Your one shot acting with Steven is superb. The two of you are the reason why we pack earlier than it should be."-director Dana. I smiled.
"I am just applying what I learn director Dana."
"Director Dana, I'll go ahead, I feel like..."-Steven. I feel that his hands is a bit hot. I catch him when he's about to fall. He look at me and his breathing became heavy. I touch his forehead.
"Director, he is having a fever. We should bring him to the hospital."-I said. I grab his hand and wrap my hands on his waist. He look at me.
"I can...walk."-he said. I sigh.
"Don't be stubborn. Let's go."-I said. When his manager opens the car door, I help him in getting inside. I pulled his seatbelt and wore it to him.
"Mrs. Shawn, she needs to go to the hospital. He's flaming already."-I said. She nod. When I held the car door, he look at me as I close it.
"You're strong. I mean you can even stood straight even if he leans on you while dragging him to his car. That's quiet a surprise."-director Dana.
"Steven! Steven...?! Where is he?"-Hazel. He is on her tent because she already finish her lines when we need to take our shots. She look at me.
"He left. His manager bring him in the hospital."
"We'll go ahead, director. I will follow them."-she said. She get inside her car and didn't wait for her team to get inside. Director Dan shook her head.
"She never change, don't worry, the service will drop you guys."-she said. They smiled.
"Thank you, director Dan. Your the best."-she said.
When we all pack up, we left the taping place.
ZYRIL'S P.O.V
I stretch my back as I walk off from the lobby's door. I better treat myself some food. I have been busy lately because Simone is working in their mansion and the managers are bugging me about certain problems in their department.
"Where should I eat?"-I ask to myself.
"Maybe to a steak house on that street?"
"What the freaking! You?! Are you trying to kill in fright?! Wait, what are you doing here in Lavelle headquarters?"-I ask. He stood straight.
"I will treat you. Let's say its my way in showing gratitude for what you did. Simone came home after she learns that my cousin is ill."
"That? It's my duty to report personal matters as her friend. No need for your gratitude. Plus, I can pay for my own food. I am a stable working woman and I don't need men in paying my meal--woohh!"
He held my wrist and drag me in crossing the pedestrian line. He's strong and I didn't expect that he will drag me like this! He's rude not like Sir Russell! After crossing the road, he let me go.
"Is that how you treat women?"-I ask and step back. He just gave me a cold glance.
"No. I love women, I adore them like deserts. Its just that...you didn't look like one."-he said. I give him a death glare and walk away.
"I better stay away from that rude jerk!"-I utter.
"Hey! Is that how you treat your boyfriend? After all what we do last night? I already beg for forgiveness, babe! Babe!"-he said and grab my hand.
"What the f**k!"-I said. But when I saw people that are walking stops and stare on us. His eyes is telling me that he wins our cat fight. I sigh and smile.
"Okay...b-babe. Let's talk thing over, okay? Let's go...b-babe?"-I said. But my words are firm and sarcasm was there. I will kill this man!
"Really babe? Thank you, I love you."-he said. He intertwined our fingers and drag me in that steak house. When we sat down, I showed him how mad I am. That is the first time that I feel annoyed and mad for over five years! I give him death glares.
"What do you want?! Why did you do that, huh? Are you bored?!"-I ask. He smirk and laugh.
"If you can only see your expression right now. It's priceless! I mean...pufftt, ahahaha. My goodness."
"I think you're the crazy one here. You better go to a psychiatrist and I can tell that you need one!"
"Come on, spice up your boring life."
"Boring?! For you, yes. But I am not you, idiot."
"Hey relax, the food is here. Just eat okay?"
I breath deeply and just eat my irritation off my head. I hope I won't meet this jerk anymore.
"Thank you, here's my share."-I said.
"Keep it."-he said. He really treat me and he just watch me as I go back in Lavelle headquarters.
STEVEN'S P.O.V
"Oh my, are you okay Steven?"-Hazel ask.
"I will be okay if you just let me take some rest."
"I followed your car as soon as I learn that they bought you here. I will take care of you, okay?"
"No. I am okay and you have to go home and take some rest. My mom will come here to nurse me. Don't worry."-I said. She pouted.
"Please, Ms. Hazel. You have to go home also and have some rest. You have photoshoot tomorrow, right?"-my manager. She sigh and nod.
"Call me if you need me okay? I can cancel my work for tomorrow just for you."
"I don't need to. Go home safely."-I said. He is sighing as he left my room. I waited for mom's arrival before I fell asleep. I can still remember the softness of Haven's chest who catches me before I fall down the ground. She smells nice as well, even those rosy lips. I can still feel the sweetness and tingling feelings that I felt today.
"Good morning son, I already bought you some sou. You have to eat now and you need to drink your medicines. The doctor said that you can go home tomorrow morning."-mom. I sat up and lean my back on the headboard.
"Is that a take out soup?"-I ask. She shook her head.
"A girl came and gave this. She said she made this for you. She had a long black hair. Her eyes are quiet expressive and her rosy lips is cute. She beautiful actually. When she learn that you"ll be discharge tomorrow, she smile. She's...cute."
"Huh? You should've ask her name. Or maybe that's Hazel."-I mumbled. She shook her head as she opens the food in that lunch bag.
"Nope. I know that woman"s face. She's not Hazel but she looks familiar as well."-she added.
"It's Haven, your new leading lady. I send her out, I accidentally saw the cut in her hand. Maybe she got that from preparing that food. So better eat it. You shouldn't waste a woman's effort."-she said.
"Haven? Are you sure?"-I said. She laugh.
"Yes, you think I will lie to you?"-she added.
"Haven? That's why she looks warm and bright like the sky. So that's your new leading lady? She's gorgeous, son. You two will surely had a good chemistry. I can't wait to watch that drama of yours and hers."-mom. That made me smile as I taste the food that she cooks. I smiled even more.
"Does is it taste delicious, right?"-mom.
"Yes, like your dishes, mom."-I said. She smile.
"That's good to hear, it means she had a potential."
"Huh? Potential for what?"-I ask. She just giggle.
'But seriously, why did she made these food for me? But why I feel happy and excited for this matter? Am I infatuated to her or what? Damn.' I am also confuse or maybe I just don"t want to admit it myself.
