Chapter 17

Days passed by that Nadine set her eyes on the man, for the past few days since she and the man had a lustful night together. At times, she would rush to dinning room to meet him but the man would have done eating. She even went to her but was immediately stopped by the guards as they told her the man doesn't want to be visited as he want to be alone.

She has been calculative recently, calculating the time the man has always come downstairs for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“I have to go now, basil.” Nadine hurriedly said, her alarm has rang, it was four minutes left to the usual time the man use to come over for his breakfast. She didn't hesitate to rushed downstairs.

Just like she expected the table has been set with Lucien already seated having his breakfast.

“Morning,” She briefly said before focusing back her attention to the way that lead to Diego's room.

Nadine's gaze was thoroughly fixed expecting the man to show but close to thirty minutes yet there wasn't the shadow of the man.

“How about you get yourself busy while you wait for him,” Lucien coldly said pointing to the different delicacies in front of her that she was yet to touch.

Nadine looked at the tempting food in front of her, despite the fact that those were her favorite and the aroma was entering straightly into her nostril but still she couldn't help but lose her appetite after siping from the milk.

Lucien shook his head before focusing his attention back to his food. The man isn't the type to care about things like that but he believed during the days he has spent, he has had enough fun with her. Always calling him boss every seconds.

“ Beta Alex. Why is your master not coming down for his breakfast?” Nadine spoke up the moment she sighted the man descending through the staircase.

“My master wants to have his breakfast in his room. It has already been taken to his room. Worry less, Miss,” He said before walking away.

By now, everything seemed to have gotten more clearer to her. She has been having different thoughts but she thought she might just be clueless as that was her first time in situation like that.

She had already made up her mind to sign the contract but seeing the man actions she couldn't help but think he might have already had a change of mind. That alone makes her heart feel heavy and hurt.

“Am native, right?” She asked unable to look at the man in his face while sipping from her milk.

Nadine felt hurt, she realized she has been pampered by her parents which made her to be native and unable to see through humans.

But still she didn't regret satisfying her lustful desires, all she regretted was not setting her mind straight.

“Boss, when you're done with your breakfast. Come over to the terrace there's something I would like to show you,”

“Am busy,” Lucien coldly cut her off.

“Big boss, I'll be waiting for you over there,” She said flashing the man the most innocent smile he has ever come across before getting up on his feet.

Lucien was silent but the lady wouldn't let him be as the more she take a step the more she would yell out big boss till he had to drop his food and followed her behind to the terrace.

“So why am I here?” Lucien asked, his hands fixed in his trouser pants as he stared keenly at the woman. He find her interesting that he would love to have her work in his entertainment industry as an actress if she has the skills.

As he's the type to agree to hire base on connection, popularity or Money. The has only been hiring people with skills and talent that are ready to make use of them to fetch his company some cash.

It's very rare for a singer, song composer, actors and actresses from starlight entertainment not to be popular. They're always popular especially the talented ones among them. Their talent would only speak for them while the company would only use their power and connection to promote them worldwide and make them into celebrities just like they wanted.

“Big boss, am here to prove to you that I have an exceptional skills to be hired as an actress under starlight entertainment.” Nadine said.

“May I be given chance to show you, big boss?”

“Big boss, give me just some minutes out of your time,l'll make sure you do not regret sparing few moments of your time,” Nadine pleaded, she knew the man was cold hearted and at the same time strong-headed but she has made up her mind not to give until she kick out her ball.

Lucien couldn't believe his ears hearing the reason why she made to leave his breakfast all the the way from the dinning room to the terrace. It was unbelievable and unexpected that left him speechless.

“Alright… ten minutes,” Lucien said, he has no choice but to give in or else he would definitely be stressed out like hell.

“I won't disappoint you, big boss.” she said.

Nadine thought for a moment, she thought about what she could act to win the man's heart. She finally settled in to embodied for the role of a poor mother who lost her daughter.

“I'll be acting the role of a mother,” Nadine said not wanting to break down the whole role to the man. She wanted to put in a suspense.

“Alright. You can start,” Lucien coldly said, he seemed disappointed and dissatisfied upon hearing the role she chose. He literally had zero interest in it but still choose to give her opportunity to showcase her talent.

Nadine immediately got immersed in the acting the moment she heard start, she walked to the far end of the terrace before walking back to stand in front of the man her eyes red and swollen from tears welling down her face. Her clean smoot hair looked rough and messy. Her steps were slow, heavy with the weight of her despair.

"My baby, my sweet little girl," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "I'm back with your surgery money but guess I came back late,” She said looking down at her hand which she made use to represent a child.

Nadine's hands trembling as she reached out to touch her daughter's cold, still hand.
"I got the money," she said, her voice breaking. "I did everything I could. Why did you leave me?”

“Talk to me, little jewel. Why do have to leave me in this cold world, Why?!” She yelled why sobbing bitterly.

She was immersed in the role, Her tears came without hesitation which seemed real, her shoulders shaking with each sob as she collapsed to the floor, her hands clutching at her chest as if her heart was breaking in two.
Her voice was a raw, primal sound, filled with anguish and despair, as she keened over her child, her cries echoing through the terrace.
Her performance was a raw and powerful expression of grief, a masterful display of emotion that left the Lucien in awe.
