Standing up, Kate walked out of the changing room and went to another to get dressed, but by the time she came out, there were a bunch of people standing outside and the four actress in the middle, shooting imaginary daggers at her. Her eyes shifted from them and they fell on Tylor, who was watching her anxiously.
Tylor walked towards her, his brows creased but before he could say a word, a sweet voice was heard.
“What’s the occasion?”
All eyes turned to the direction of the voice, and there was Tristin, walking towards them with a concerned look. Kate swallowed.
F*ck am in trouble?
She didn't know the rank of those actress; and knowing how things worked here, she might really get into trouble for beating them up.
''What transpired here?” Tristin asked again as she approached the crowd, Kate opened her lips to speak but Isla beat her to it.
'' I didn't know an A- lister like you could sign a gangster, Tri
The guards pulled open the door of the car as Tristin approached, their brows creased when they saw a strange face walking together with her, but they did not ask.''Where to Miss,” The chauffeur in front asked when they had settled in.''Home,” she said, her eyes on her phone.Kate looked around the car. Tristin was an actress but with the security and the kind of treatment she was given at the Agency; she knew she was something more. Maybe she was the daughter of a politician or a high ranking state official?''So Kate, tell me, do you have a man?” Tristin asked suddenly, pulling Kate out of her thoughts, Kate swallowed hard as she glanced at Tristin who had a bright smile on her lips.''Mm… no, had one before, but it ended a while ago.” Kate explained with a strained smile.''Oh, that's sad, did you love him?” Tristin’s expression softened as she watched Kate.Did she love Liam?She
Kate sat in the cab, her eyes swollen from crying. She had thought she would be able to take it, but at the end, she couldn't. She wanted to push it all to the back of her mind, but the more she looked at Tristin, the sadder she became, and when she couldn't take it any longer, she told her she was not feeling too well, that they should party another day. Tristin understood and wasn't angry, she told her guards to take her homeand Kate agreed but once they had gone a distance, she told them to stop her and then she took a cab. And as soon as she entered the cab, she burst into tears. The most painful part was that Tristin was a nice person. How could she be the one? If it was Isla or someone else, then she would be justified in hating her, but Tristin, she couldn't. And the pain of having to pretend that everything was alright when it clearly isn't, is overwhelming. Kate dragged her feet into her house and slumped on her couch, shutting her eyes.
Kate cried, wiping her eyes with her handkerchief. She couldn't control herself now she was talking about it for the very first time. She felt more open to Joshua, maybe because he was a stranger and didn't know any of the persons involved; She wiped her eyes with her already wet handkerchief, she was thankful that she didn't have any makeup on; else her face would be smeared with different shades of makeup and mascara. Joshua stood up from beside her and squatted in front of her; taking her hand in his. ''Does he deserve your tears?” he asked, tilting his head to the side. Kate shook her head, hiccupping from crying too much. Some strands of her hair had fallen to her face and Joshua pushed them to the back of her ear; ''You are way, beautiful to cry over a man, Kate.” Kate’s eyes widened and she looked at him. “And over someone that left you for another woman,” she swallowed; she didn't tell him the details of
Liam drove slowly down Kate’s house street, his mind filled with different thoughts. He wasn't sure if she would want to see him, but he still needed to try to talk things out. He didn't care who was at fault, in fact, he would take the blame for everything; these past days without her in his life had been hell. He parked his car a few meters away from her house and stepped down; his heart raced as he walked slowly towards her house, organizing his words in his head.What if she didn't want to hear him out? What if she slammed the door to his face… what if she splash dirty water on him?Liam stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the figures in front of Kate’s house. Even if he was asleep, he knew Kate’s figure, but the man by her side…His brows creased as he watched them talk but he could not hear what they were saying, since he was far from them.Suddenly, Kate closed the gap between her and the man, hugging him tightly.
“Blake dear, since you're very busy at the company and there's still a lot to do, Joshua would go to the charity event in your stead,” Melinda spoke as they sat in the dining table having breakfast.Blake gripped his cutleries harder as his eyes rose to Melinda as her words filtered into his ears. He stared at her for a moment and then shifted his gaze to Joshua briefly. The latter was eating casually as though it was no news, it was clear that she had discussed this with him before because he appeared untroubled.Blake swallowed; he had been suspecting that there was something wrong about their closeness, although Melinda had said that he was her sister's son, they looked closer than that. Even though at first glance, there was no resemblance between them, on a closer look, Joshua had some of Melinda’s features.Maybe because he was her sister's son; they were bound to have some similar features, but Blake could not get the gut-feeling off his
Tristin’s eyes popped out of her eye sockets as she held her phone to her ear, Liam had already disconnected the call but she couldn't bring herself to move from her spot, afraid that everything might become an illusion if she did.Did… he…. did he just…''Oh good Lord!” Tristin exclaimed filled with glee. She didn't understand what had just happened. What made him change his mind?She wondered a thousand things, but she couldn't even pinpoint any. Maybe it was just a date, there were no strings attached but still, she was not expecting it. No, this was unbelievable, did he mean it? Should she call him back and ask?Tristin shook her head immediately at that thought; what if he changed his mind?No, she should just send him her address, right. Quickly, she tapped open her messages and sent Liam her home address. Then she phoned Tylor right away.“Aaaaah! Ty…. Guess what?”''Wha
She nodded, her palms fisting on her laps. Liam’s gaze turned forwards before he looked at her again;''I love someone else, Tristin.”Tristin eyes widened at his confession, and her lips moved but it could not utter any word. Liam’s head fell, as the car became silent.''Even right now, I'm still in love with that person.”Tristin felt choked, a tight tug on her chest, she found it difficult to breathe.“And I don't know if I can be able to stop loving that person. I don't want to lead you on in any way, so I'm telling you…”''Do you want to stop loving that person?” she asked, cutting him off;Liam turned to her, falling silent; did he want to stop loving her?Loving Kate was the most beautiful thing that had ever happened to him, and even with the pain, he didn't regret it, but at that moment, knowing that she was with another man and didn't want him anymore, he wanted t
Kate’s eyes widened at Joshua’s reply, and her gaze shifted to Liam, he was still talking to the couple, but she was sure that if he was paying attention, he would have heard Joshua. She didn't know why she was feeling bad that Joshua said he was her boyfriend, obviously, Liam was dating Tristin now, why was she feeling guilty? ''Uh, Kate, you didn't tell me about him, he's very handsome and…” Tristin stopped and tilted her head to the side; 'why do I feel he looks like…” she turned to look at Liam who was now coming to her. “Oh dear! I was just thinking about you now, this is my friend Kate, she's a new actress and this is her boyfriend, I don't know, but the two of you have a resemblance, are you related or something?” Tristin asked with a sweet smile on her lips. she was still checking Joshua and Liam out and she didn't notice the prolonged daze Liam and Kate were in. Kate gripped her chair so hard that she felt her manicured nails break against it. Her he
