He gave her a chance to forget about her revenge and appreciate the good people around her. Would she accept his offer or remain in the depth of her darkness? *** "I heard this from Vic, E-books where authors write about people that cage themselves together all in the name of fake relationship and later end up having feelings for each other "Psychologically, it's possible because they are able to break through the barrier because of their closeness and paparazzi invading privacy which is troublesome" "I feel like it's a narration of our story" Raymond sounded delighted. "Bad things happens. That's why I never allow emotions get in way with my work making me weak and depressed, I never believed in happily ever after" Raymond frowned and looked at her but her eyes were still closed with a painful look. "You are making it sound like one of us is going to die" Mila snorted and gave a miserable smile "It's worse than that, like living in the shadow of fear from matters that involve my life" She opened her eyes and looked at him "If you really want to act like you love me I have you warn you, your life would be in danger. If you are still willing, I have to train you to stand on your own or you will hold me back" standing up and walking to him, leaning towards his face. "Am ready to fall in love with you but you are too weak"
In a sophisticated office designed with furniture colours, a man sat behind a glass table on a white swivel chair with his head resting at the head of the chair. He looked comfortable but his brows were furrowed in the middle of his messy brown hair.
The door quickly opened making him snap out from his daze to a fearful look. He looked at the lady who emerged from the door with frightened eyes.
"She is here? Already? Am not prepared, take her time" he spoke as his fingers found its way into his head, yanking his hair in devastation......it might be the reason for his messy hair.
The lady felt so sorry for her boss, seeing him in a crazy state trying to make a good impression for a cold hearted woman.
"Sir please relax!! I knew you were going to panic so I came here to make sure you are calm enough to speak to her
"She is arriving in twenty to thirty minutes, sir" she informed him right after calming him down.
It seems to have worked for the time been, he released his hair while taking a deep breath while muttering some distinct words under his breath, reassuring himself it was going to be alright.
"Okay! Am just overreacting a little -" he banged his forehead on the table like he was kowtowing to his idol, and started to fake a
wailing sound like an amateur....
**Outside Ne-X Movie Production Company's building
A red car paused at the entrance while other black cars follows suit
"Boss! We are here!"the man in the driver's seat said to the lady figure at the back seat.
The lady at the back seat seemed liked a respectable figure even a man called her 'boss'.
Normally, people with pride and comfort would like there door to be opened for them, but the lady did it herself.
A red pencil heel stepped on the ground with a brand logo, 'C & Z', in black collar shirt inside a red suit and fled pants. On her wrist was a watch with one glance you could tell it is quality.
Matching black bag of same designer of her shoes. Her dark hand stretched toward one of the bodyguards behind her with the bag to hold.
She had a shapely figure which was imp-thin. Her curvilinear waist and a dark glossy skin. A pair of steep arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her delicate ear framed a dainty nose. Her dark curly hair held in a ponytail. Her determined dark eyes gazed at her destination giving no one a stare, her rosy heavy upper lips gave no smile as her long legs walked.
"Woah! When they say Mila Day is coming today, I didn't believe it. She rarely goes to meeting with movie producers, she send one of her bodyguards to go. It looks inappropriate!" the lady behind the receptionist table spoke.
"Don't talk like that I heard that the two main guards work in the company in a high rank. They are mainly workers but they dedicate their lives on the line for her safety. *Sigh* Waste of handsome men" her friend close to her chipped in.
"And she is a dazzling black beauty. I wonder how she would look like in gowns apart from trousers and colour red. Bright colours might fit her too"
"Don't act like you don't like her in red, I think it's quite dominating. Well, a dream for another day if she ever happens to wear a dress that's not red" the friend spoke.
"Yeah, if it happens.... ever happens -" then they both giggled knowing it was just another fantasy that will never happen.
Suddenly, their amusement were cut short when they heard a sound directed towards them. They practically peed in their pants staring into his handsome but cold, killing and intense emotion.
"*growl*"
"Sam be calm" a female voice ordered the guard with her bag not to be affected with their annoying gossip.
Sam, by name,a well built handsome man with a serious deadly look added to his dark eyes that seemed almost unreadable - murderous -. His blind hair in a buzz cut, showing he loves being simple when settling things with his fist.
As they entered the elevator, Mila spoke:
"Vid, do we have any other plans after this business meeting?"
Vid, a short name for David given to him by Mila because of her love for one syllable names, she gave all her guards names to make it easier to call. He had a clam expression unlike Sam he had a nice aura that every woman would like to get close to but he is not into relationships.
His black hair shaved in a faux hawk style and his dim green eyes and a pair of earring dangling from his right ear. A perfect prince charming but a cold heart towards women. He treats them like a disease except his boss. He may look weak but he's quite strong like Sam.
"Nothing doing in the office but we have some movies to check out before we release them.'In The Blues' from Sunpass and 'Spirit, Soul and Body' from Trickage. I scheduled them for today" Vid answered.
"Well you don't expect us to sit our butts for four hours" Sam complained.
"I agree! It's obvious which one are we to pick?. One is romance and the other is action. Among us three, Vid is the only one into romance while me and Sam will go to Sunpass" Mila came up with a solution.
Looking at their faces with a pleasing smile but she could tell they didn't like the idea.
"We are here boss" Vid said clearing the uncomfortable moment some seconds ago.
A lady in a straight brown skirt that had some medium ruffle at the button, white short sleeved turtled neck. Her carmel brown hair in a bob style, small bangs held behind her ears, a circular frame glasses on her nose bridge making her look intelligent with an unspoken cuteness.
"Am Linda McRiver, the manager of Ne-X company. I'll lead to Mr. Rooms office. Nice to meet you Miss Day and your directors" she gave a respectful bow.
"Just call me Miss Mila or Mila Day, maybe Mila except if you think if it's too informal"
For some reason she seemed like she hates been called 'Miss Day' or even hearing that god forsaken surname. No matter how lovely it sounds there was something she just hates about the Days, if only she walk round the world without their surname.
She only accepted it when it was formal but never call her that if you consider being close to her. It's crazy that she couldn't point out the reason why they hated dark skinned people, if their hatred was so stronger why didn't they kill her when she was.....
"Let's proceed" Sam noticed Mila frozen on the spot boiling in anger in her mind and decided to snap her out of her thoughts.
"Uhmm" Mila agreed.
As they walked through the hallway, it was filled with the chattering of the workers immediately they sighted a dark skinned lady in the mist of whites, they knew there was only one woman who could do that.
"Oh Lord! Is that Miss Mila Day? She looks hotter in person. Look, check out her designer wear. Damn! Is that the new brand of the Dolex watch?"
"*gasps* I've only seen it on magazines. Meaning she must be filthy rich to use that kind of money for for just a luxurious watch eh!"
"That suit is from the new collection of Ava Rin, it's named, blood suit. She's really up to date in fashion"
"She's so freaking young and a big boss of men. It like every woman's dream ... Am so jealous we like age mates and she's already at the top. I wonder when she started working"
"Her dark skin is glowing like a rare diamond, mine is nowhere her's. The way her twin sister puts its like a older ugly outcast of the family or something"
"Shut your mouth! Don't speak about my role model, Camila Day, like that just because you are seeking some fake beauty. For your information there's something called plastic surgery mow at days"
"She has a totally hidden figure so don't go speaking expensive lies, she must found a way to shut people not to spill her illegal secrets"
Sam's fist tightened due to the anger itching him to give that younger lady a piece of his mind. He paused when he saw that cold gaze of Mila as she turned around towards the voice.
"A hot-headed! That's a obvious reason for your red hair except it's dyed to show your love for anger" her cold voice echoed as she moved towards the red haired.
"You..." she was confused how Mila knew her hair was dyed.
"Not another word" Sam glared at her causing her to shiver in fear as she felt his anger through his gaze.
Mila took a sharp breath suppressing herself from rushing over to beat her to death with her bare hands. Not wanting to cause a scene, she lowered her head and spoke
"I came her to see if I would accept to cooperate with this company but here I am been insulted by a common..." "*smack*"
The sound echoed in the hallway. Mila didn't notice when Linda passed her to give the red haired lady a slap.
'How did she get there?' Mila thought. She turned toward Sam and Vic, they had same awe expression too.
"How dare you speak to our visitor like that? Don't you know with her we could reach higher heights? If because of your attitude we loss this opportunity, you wouldn't be spared you know?
"If you want to put the boss in a tight place find somewhere else to do that. In Ne-X we don't take this kind of things jokingly. I hope I've made myself clear?" Linda yelled at them then turned toward Mila with an apologetic look "Sorry for that. Right this way please "
Mila wanted to speak but the looks on the employees faces made her change her mind. Sam on the other hand too a good look of the lady, registering her face in his mind before leaving.
