Carmen stormed out of the room as she blew some strands of hair away from her face. She looked at the fake Barbie who had a smirk on her face. She suddenly felt like beating the hell out of her.
She jogged towards her and proceeded to grab her from her hair. "You're a stupid fake b*tch!"she screamed at her. She was shocked she had cursed for the first time ever. What was happening to her?
She yanked the girl backwards and threw her on the floor. She backed her leg behind her and pushed it forward harshly, making it hit the fake blondie’s back.
All of the women including the secretary were shocked, the latter tried to hold fuming Carmen back but she just ended in being pushed away. The lady on the floor kept screaming for help as Carmen was throwing punches at her face.
The door of the office room banged open and the three men rushed out after hearing a loud commotion outside.
Adrian looked shocked and laughed at the scene unfolding right under his piercing eyes. Charles was cursing under his breath and shouted for security. On the other hand, Ronald rushed to Carmen and pulled her away gently. "Please Miss Anderson, stop."
Upon hearing his soothing voice, it seemed to calm her down. She stood up straight and let out a small chuckle, realizing what she just did. Her reaction was the same as Adrian’s. Ronald took care of the security and made them take the beaten up lady to the hospital. He took Carmen's hand and lead her to the elevator.
Adrian felt a bit of jealousy and frowned at his brother. He stepped forward to them and pushed Ronald away. Just as the elavator's doors were closing, he quickly entered and they both disappeared from the other's sight.
"Why did you do that?" Carmen asked confusedly.
"Because I wanted to"shrugged Adrain. “Does your brother really has Cromotizone?"he asked.
No, I was lying" she said in fake sarcasm as she rolled her eyes.
"I thought so"she gasped but decided not to say anything as they had arrived. She walked out of the building with him following behind.
She turned her face around and raised a questioning eyebrow at him"I'm hungry, I haven't ate breakfast. Are you down for a breakfast break?"
"Breakfast break? It's like I was working day and night"she rolled her eyes and huffed.
"Every person who works has a breakfast break"he pointed out.
"But I don't have work."
"Oh shame, I though you work with us"he smirked.
"Are you teasing me because I got rejected?"she let out a gasp.
"No stupid, just telling you that you're accepted"he winked and got in the car after his driver had opened the door.
Carmen widened her eyes and bent down to talk to him, forgetting the name he called her by"Accepted? But your father literally kicked me out of the room."
"But Ronald and I don't accept and you'll be acting with me not my father, so I'm the one who gets to choose. Didn't I tell you that we're going to eat breakfast? Just enter the car"she sat beside him and kept gazing at him as he was staring outside the window. "I feel like you're eye-raping me"she blushed furiously and quickly turned her eyes away.
"So, does that mean I'm accepted?" She asked nervously.
"Accepted because you were eye-raping me?” he teased her. She had an angry look as she stared out the window which made him chuckle and say “Exactly. There will be no interview after two weeks, you're the chosen actress."
"But you don't know how I act"she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"I do know, you act great"He smiled widely. Wow, and I thought he was grumpy she giggled silently. "But don't be cocky about it like some silly girls do" Did I get a wrong impression quickly she huffed mentally. Anyways, why did he say that I act great when he never saw me act.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm so grateful for this"Carmen said excitedly as she hugged him tightly. He wasn't surprise. He didn't even have the chance to hug her back since she pulled away fast. It was something usual for her. Anytime someone would do something good to her, she would hug him/her but this time, it felt a little different. It was warm not just lovely.
"Don't ever do that again"he said sternly as he glared at her. Did he mean it or not though?
He looked away and tried not to smirk. You don't know what's coming, sweetheart he said in his mind, trying not to say it loudly.
Carmen watched in amazement as the waiters filled the table with food."All this food for only the two of us?"she pointed at the super long table and looked at every plate as her eyes were glowing."We can eat as much as we want"Adrian shrugged and dug his fork in the pancake on the plate in front of his."Then leave a lot of food to get thrown, wow how awesome"she said sarcastically with a hint of annoyance in her voice which didn't go unnoticed by Adrian. She's still the same I see he thought."Enough nagging, just eat. Do I need to tell the manager to change the 'no smoking' sign to 'no nagging'?"She was shocked to the fact that a stranger was literally making fun of her."
Carmen's povBoth of us, Travis and I, knocked on the door the maid had led us to. I was biting my lips nervously as I heard a quick 'Come in', like he was expecting me.I took a glance at Travis and turned the door's knob around. The door opened and my eyes searched for that jerk. As I saw him smirking at me, my blood boiled."You are such a jerk! You could've left that damn sac with the waiter, but no you had to take it. Give it to me right now or I swear I will beat the hell out of you"I screamed while pointing at him. He scowled at Tracy and l- Tracy? Ughhh I mean Travis."Who is this? Your backup?" He looked him up and down."He is the taxi driver who has been waiting with me patiently to take his money. And it's all bec
Carmen's povI was sitting on my sofa, repeating his nasty words in my head. Recalling what he said in his last text. I wanted to... beat him. Just like what I had done to that girl in Charles' company. Oh Charles! That just makes me more furious. He is too much to handle. I hope I won't have to deal with him too much.I looked at the clock and smiled. It was a perfect timing. 10 am. Cody is still at school now and I have nothing to do so I can just go and show Riven how to be a pervert with me.I walked to the bedroom, wore a simple jeans with a half sleeves grey t-shirt and walked out of the house.I walked to the hospital since it wasn't so far. I had a rush of adrenaline and lots of confidence, it was surprising.I walked
Ronald's povI was sitting beside my father and Adrian, waiting for a few of the last women to arrive. It only took a few minutes until they were here.I wished Carmen was here. I felt so attracted to her, it was like love at first sight. Pfft, I am silly. There's no love at first sight. Also, I would meet her again if there was a chance, which will never happen.Samantha, one of the ladies, stood up and was a little far away from us. It was her turn to perform."Father, how many times have I told you that I already chose the actress"Adrian said with an annoyed tone. He had a scowl on and was glaring at our dad."What do you mean you already picked her? They haven't even showed us how they act yet!"I whisper yelled.
Carmen thought silently as she wondered where were they going to? Her house? The driver didn't know the exact address and the Romans only knew the street she lives on.She wanted to ask but in the same time, her instincts told her to stay silent. She glanced secretly at the man sitting beside her. He looked like he was fuming with anger, Carmen was waiting for red fumes to get out of his ears and his face to go red as a tomato, but absolutely that was just in her mind.Her thoughts went back to her little brother, Cody. How was he doing now? Is he being bullied by one of his rich classmates? Or was he talking happily with his best friend, Jake. Carmen hoped for the latter.After a few minutes of hesitation, she finally asked. "Ronald, where are we going?"&nb
Adrian released a long breath and took Carmen into a warm hug.He was happy neither her or his father were hurt. He even realized that if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have gotten out of the room and saved both his father and him. In these situations, people don't think straight."Thank you"he whispered in her ear as they broke the hug.Carmen felt confused as she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She didn't know it was because of her helping him and he decided to keep it hidden."Why are you thanking me?" she giggled nervously while fidgeting with her butterfly necklace. 
'There are times when we stop, we sit still. We listen and breezes from a whole different world whisper.''Breath is the power behind all things. I breathe in and know that good things are going to happen.''Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.''Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.'These were the quotes Carmen had saved in her old diary. A large notebook, she had from her childhood. The book he, her old bestie had bought for her.It was a simple gift for her 14th birthday, 10 years ago.
“Carms! You have to see this! Look, our team won”Liam ran into Carmen’s room shouting. “Your mom told me you’re sick but I didn’t think you are that tired sweetie”he walked to her bed and sat down next to where she was lying.“Hey Lily”She smiled weakly. He was never bothered by that childish nickname, he was used to hearing it from Carmen. “I’ve been wishing you were here so we would watch it together.”“I wanted to watch it with you but we were at Jack’s so we watched it there”he said as he turned off his phone and placed it in his pocket. “I know the one thing that can make you stop acting like you’re sick, you liar!”he stared at her with his evil eyes.“Oh my god how do you know I’m not actually sick!”She jumped up and widened my eyes at him
It was cold, quiet and dark. Like a day in the middle of December. Had she died and went to heaven where it was extremely cold? Well, she was sure hell’s weather would not be like that.
"No offense but don't you feel like it's a bit better i

“I’m not coming, I reject. I rather stay home than go on a date with someone like you!”

“It’s really not what it sounds like.”
Carmen walked out, her hand entangled with her brother’s. She sent a smile towards Ronald who was waiting for her in the car.
Carmen opened her eyes widely. She turned her eyes away and stared at her beige and brown furniture as she tried to grasp what she had heard.
They rode in silence. The two brothers were sitting in front, Ronald in the passenger seat and Adrian was driving.
