“Thank you for tonight,” the staff said in a chorus before leaving for their homes. Nathan smiled at them and close the door when they were gone.
“Take a seat,” he told the woman who was standing silently in the corner. Nathan was worried about Audrey but Francesca’s presence put him in no position to tend his boss, especially when Shane was also there to snatch his chance away. “Perché sei qui? (Why are you here?)” He asked her when the blonde settled down. He sat on a chair across her.
“Per parlare con te (To talk to you),” Francesca replied while bowing her head. She looked pale and sickly which he didn’t notice until the other guy told him.
If it were five years ago, Nathan would have been jumping in joy to see her but a lot of things happ
It was almost midnight when Audrey and Shane arrived at the villa. The lights were still on and the young miss felt bad for any housemaids who had to stay up to make them wait for them to come back. She sighed which caught Shane’s attention, so he gave her a reassuring look although she wasn’t saying anything.“Are you worried about someone else while I’m here with you right now?” He asked her while parking his car in the garage.She only smiled a little at him while waving her hands ‘no’. She admitted that she was glad about his behavior though it might be silly of her to think it was sweet when he minded those trivial things especially when it concerns someone of the opposite sex.Audrey didn’t have her purse with her but her semi-broken phone she had in her p
The trip to Nathan’s place was quiet. Francesca dare not to talk about anything while inside the car and the man was glad about it. He didn’t like the idea of letting his ex-lover to his apartment, but he already agreed to talk with her, and going back to his words was not his thing.“Entra (Come in),” Nathan invited the woman when he opened the door to his flat. It was clean as usual and no speck of dust could be seen.“Hai un bel posto (You have a nice place),” Francesca commented as she roamed her eyes around. A smile appeared on her lips while she reminisced some memories of the time she shared with the man who was now cold towards her.“Grazie. Ma apprezzo se non ti abitui e te ne vai non appena il cosiddetto discorso di cui parlavi è finito (Thanks. But I
Sweet, feathery kisses fluttered on Audrey’s cheeks and all around her face. She smiled with her eyes closed and let the kissing monster continue. The scene she could only imagine for years had finally come alive. Like a princess in a fairy tale awakened by her prince’s true love’s kiss, Audrey slowly opened her eyes.“Good morning, baby,” Shane whispered to her ear. His breath tickled her skin and he knew it. He nibbled her ear. “How’s your sleep?”“It was great,” Audrey answered. She pulled his face in front of her and gave him a peck. “Good morning,” she greeted back. She was sleeping like a log last night while the man was wrapping her with his legs and arm. Audrey never felt so comfortable despite the occasional pain she had in her back and neck.“Breakfast should be ready. Let’s go downstairs after washing up,” Shane said and got on his feet. He offered his hand to help her up. “You want me to carry you to the bathroom?”She laughed at his remark. “No, I can still walk. Don’t tre
An immediate silence followed after Shane’s loud question. Audrey was alerted when she sensed agitation in his voice, thus she hurriedly went to the living room only to find Lucy with a blank expression on her face, sitting comfortably on her seat while staring at the actor who was glaring at her with clenched fists.“Was it you?” Shane asked his manager again. His voice was firm and it was undeniable how much he was trying to keep his cool.“Shane, I am your manager and I would no--” Lucy’s speech was cut off when the man raised his voice for the second time.“Tell me if it's you or not. If not, then who was behind this?!”Lucy took a deep breath as she massaged her temples. The pale pink nail polish pa
Audrey did her best to contain her emotion inside her when someone knocked on the door. She was about to mourn again after the joyous moments she had recently. It made her realized one thing, sadness always accompanied happiness and the two of them were never separated from each other.“Miss, Madam is on the phone and would like to speak with you.” It was the housekeeper’s voice.“All right. Give me a sec,” Audrey replied and carefully wiped her face. She opened the door and hand out her hand. “You can leave now,” she said after getting the wireless phone from Rebecca who was worriedly checking out her puffy eyes.“Yes, Miss. If you need anything just let me know,” the housekeeper responded and bowed her head before walking away.
Mrs. Vargas’ giggles echoed through Audrey’s ears. Her eyes were focused on the wall in front of her while Shane’s hands tighten its grip around her. She felt his chin on her right shoulder and his breath was fanning her neck. Audrey bit her lower lip to resist laughing due to the unbearable tickling sensation.“You smell so nice,” Shane whispered and nibbled on her ear. The gesture made her gasped which caused the other to smirk. “Why are you frowning, baby?” He asked her while rubbing the tip of his nose on her nape.“Hmm…” Audrey let out a moan when Shane planted small and soft kisses on her skin. “Shane… let me go,” she mumbled but couldn’t manage to struggle a little to support what she said. She just stood there and enjoyed what he was doing despite wanting him to let go.
The auditorium was filled with cheers and claps from all the people who came for the premiere night of Shane Vargas’ newest movie. The actor was flooded with praises for his phenomenal talent, surpassing the director’s and producer’s expectations again. His acting was always flawless but the role he got this time was not so easy for just anyone to take. The superstar and movie king nailed it in a blink of an eye. He did great thus he thought he deserved a break. The problem was the movie was so good and had the potential for being the biggest hit of the year. And this could mean that he wouldn’t get any vacation yet until his schedule was cleared.“Congratulations, Mr. Vargas. You surprised me again. Watching a movie where you play the main role is never tiring. You’re an epitome of a perfect actor, befitting to be called the king in the industry,” the movie producer, Mr. Reid, prais
“Thank you, everyone! The pre-open is finally over. Without your help, nothing is going to be accomplished by now. Everybody clap your hands to thank yourselves!” Audrey said while standing in front of her subordinates. The staff clapped their hands with a joyful smile on their faces. She smiled and raised a glass of wine before continuing her speech. “Now that we survive in the five-days pre-open event, it's time for us to give ourselves a break we all deserve! Let’s raise our glasses and cheers for our success! Cheers!” She exclaimed and signaled for the music to be played.Nathan was sighing as he turned on the speaker in a minimum volume with some random party music. He watched his boss mingled with the others while leading the rest to get drunk. Audrey had been in high spirits since two days ago and Nathan had nothing to say about it. He was glad she didn’t look glum despite the news
