AT DONOVAN'S CAR ENTERPRISE, IN THE CAVE.Charles, Kate, Gracie and Alexander, stood round a table. They were meant to be discussing their plans on finding out the culprit behind Kate's accident, but it didn't look like anything could be discussed.The air was tense making the atmosphere uncomfortable. Alexander and Gracie, stared between Charles and Kate, the two people who were the cause of it.Kate had an indifferent look on her face, staring at the blueprints while Charles had an icy look on his face, scaring anyone with just a glance.The tense air between them was evident, as neither of them spoke nor glanced at the other. It was like a competition of who could avoid the other the longest.“They were fine the day before, then what happened?”, Gracie and Alexander thought confused, as they both glanced at each other, seeing if one of them had an answer to their unspoken question.Alexander stared at his best friend, he had never seen Charles looking so scary especially when Taylo
“What did Alex tell you?”, Charles asked, irritated.The person burst out laughing seeing as what he heard was true, if not why would his friend get irritated.“Vincy”, Charles growled.“Calm down man, no need to growl at me. I just heard you've finally met your match”, Vincent teased again. Vincent was Charles and Alexander bestfriend, and was popularly called Vincy by his friends. He wasn't in the City, as he had left for a medical programme in the suburbs.Charles didn't like the way his best friend was teasing him. “He was attracted to Taylor and nothing else then why were they making it seem he was head over heels in love with her '', he thought, his forehead creased.“What was her name again….yes Taylor”, Vincent said pretending not to know Kate's name.Charles couldn't help frowning, “how much had Alex told Vincy, to call Taylor's name casually like they were friends”.“So tell me man, is she beautiful with curves. Damn! I'm sure she is, c'mon Charlie tell me, why are you bein
Kate sat at the driver's seat, her hands tapping the steering wheel, her mind deep in thought. “Was she doing the right thing by avoiding Charles”, she wondered, a conflicted look on her face. The pained look on Charles' face flashed in her mind, remembering how she rejected him. She didn't do anything wrong, she was just trying to protect herself. Charles was engaged, she getting into a relationship with him, will be a scandalous affair, neither did she want any more drama in her life. Dealing with Rose, Kyle and Andrew too was enough for her, she didn't want to include Charles to her list. Kate signed, her life had just been one big roller coaster since she arrived at City S. She looked out the window, she missed her old life, there was no worry, or stress just she and her family, and Rose but it all changed in one night. Kate fought the urge to cry, she still had nightmares about that night, wishing it never happened but it did. Her lines of thought were distracted when
“She could break off his engagement with Rose, so they can be together”. The thought made him grin, he was tempted to voice it out but knew it would earn him a disapproving sign from Vincent.“So what do you suggest I do?” Charles asked, rubbing his forehead.“Talk to her”, Vincent answered.“You can't be serious”, Charles hissed arrogantly. Taylor rejected him again, there was no way he was going to talk to her first.“If there was anyone that was gonna start the talking then it's Taylor”, he concluded in his mind“Still arrogant as ever”, Vincent thought with an eye roll.“This time you've got to put your pride down and talk to her man”, Vincent urged.Charles creased his forehead. “ Let down his pride, never!” He thought. “She rejected him, why should he be the one to talk to her”, he grumbled.“You want Taylor don't you?” Vincent added, sensing his friend didn't want to listen to him.“Of course I do”, Charles answered immediately.“That can only happen if you talk to her. Give he
Iris didn't miss the sudden change in Ariana's mood. “Her phone couldn't possibly be the cause of it, could it?”, She wondered.And this was why, models weren't allowed to have their phones or have any connection with the outside world until they were done with their work. So has to avoid any distractions which could influence their performance during work.Iris was Ariana's manager, she had decided to give Ariana her phone as the latter had been working really hard and was currently on a short break.She didn't expect giving Ariana her phone would cause her to want to go home. “This was bad”, Iris thought.“I'm asking you something Iris” Ariana shouted, frowning. There was nothing sweet about her voice now.“Calm down Ariana”, Iris coaxed, cautiously approaching Ariana, seeing as the latter wasn't calm.“How could she possibly stay calm?”, Ariana thought, not wanting to believe what she had just read was true.“Take deep breaths”, Iris instructed and Ariana followed suit.“The thing
“First of, I'd like to say congratulations in signing the contract with us' “, Kate started, mirth dancing in her eyes. “Sure”, Rose said, through gritted teeth. “About the contract some changes will have to be made to it”. “What do you mean…changes?”, Rose asked, raising her eyebrow. “The contract will be for a period of 5 months and not 6”, Kate continued. “And why's that?” Rose demanded, trying to stay calm. “As you know Miss Andino, this contract was supposed to be signed weeks ago but due to an unpleasant incident it didn't”, Kate explained, stressing on the words unpleasant incident. “This month is about to end, and TAC Limited won't take responsibility for your action of not signing the contract when it was due. So yes, the contract will be decreased to a period of 5 months”, she added, with a shrug at the end. Rose stared at Kate tongue-tied, as she couldn't come up with a proper comeback and could only nod her head with a forced smile. “Sure, I understand”, Rose nod
Catherine Hart, Cat, had first met Kate at TAC Limited. Catherine had come for an interview for the job of a secretary at the Chassis department. She and some others had been waiting patiently for their turn; there were still 10 people to Catherine's turn. Catherine was about to give up, she was really tired and hungry, and the interview of the woman who had just entered was taking longer than expected. Remembering how much she really needed the job she decided to wait some more. Finally the woman stepped out, making everyone let out a sign of relief but was shocked to see their employer right behind her. “Thank you everyone for coming today, but your presence won't be needed anymore you may all go home now”, the man announced, gesturing at them to leave. They all stood up, staring at each other dumbfounded, the confused look on their faces not missed. “Go home, but they haven't been interviewed yet!??” Were the thoughts on their mind. The man hissed annoyed, seeing as they sto
Charles glanced at his wristwatch, an hour after lunch break and still no sign of Taylor. “Was she still avoiding him”, the thought made him annoyed, “but that couldn't be right, Taylor wasn't the type to let her personal life interfere with her work”. “Stella, tell Miss Miller to come to my office immediately”, he instructed over the intercom. “Yes Sir “, Stella responded, before the line went dead. A knock was heard on the door, followed by the clicking of the knob, as Gracie stepped in, closing the door behind her. “You called for me C….”, Gracie said, wondering why her cousin suddenly wanted to see her. “Where's Taylor?” Charles interrupted her, tapping his fingers on the desk, his back relaxed on his chair. “I don't know....”. “Gracie!....” Charles groaned, in a warning tone. “Where's Taylor?...”. “Isn't she back yet”, Gracie answered, with a raised eyebrow. “What do you mean back, did she go out?..”. “Yh, she did”, Gracie nodded, walking towards Charles.
