Back in the company. "Fuck" Charlotte cursed under her breath when the call suddenly disconnected but she realized it was because of the network, she couldn't call back again as the problem was from her side. Charlotte used her torchlight to glance around the room, she meant it when she said she hated darkness. She had always been scared of staying alone in enclosed dark places right from when she was young, years back. She took a deep tiring breath, rested her back on the wall, and sat down on the floor. Her eyes glinted with something bitter, she wouldn't have stayed back if it wasn't because of her family back at home. Charlotte was the daughter of a publicly known rich man of country A. Charlotte had lost her mother years back in an accident, the incident had left a scar on young Charlotte as she had witnessed the scene. Her mother's car had clashed with another car with a man and woman in it. She would have died on the spot also, but her mother had shielded her by covering he
Around midnight, after long hours of waiting, the rain finally settled into a drizzle. Charlotte was now seated on a chair with a stranger whom she still knew nothing about along the corridors. She stood up, with her small bag hung up on her shoulders "I think I'll take my leave now" she uttered Troy glanced at the lady, they didn't really say anything much to each other, he had been playing games on his phone and noticed that she dozed off a while ago but seemed to wake up several minutes after as she now stood on her feet, ready to leave. Troy stood up also "Okay, the rain has settled already" "Yeah, thanks for keeping me company," she said in utter appreciation, even though he hadn't said a thing during the period, it was still nice to have someone around and not stay alone. "Don't mention" "Aren't you leaving, also?" Charlotte asked "I'll leave later, not now" "Ohh... ok then, bye," Charlotte said and turned around before she left, she walked out of the company and made h
Mirabel woke up very early on Friday, cause she had to arrive at Gold Fox early before traveling together with the team. She got up from the bed, glancing toward Axel's side of the bed, but he wasn't there. Mirabel stood up and went straight to the bathroom to take her bath, she brushed her teeth in haste before she showered up and walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her chest, the length reaching above her knees. She removed the towel that she had used in wrapping her hair. Her hair was damp because she had washed it, and the water droplets from her hair trailed down to her shoulder. Mirabel went straight to the mirror and blow-dried her hair with the hair dryer. She went into the closet and picked up a simple dress, a black long-sleeved top, and a pair of jeans and trousers, she didn't take long before dressing up. Mirabel wore her black long coat which reached below her knees, she took her handbag and a box that contained her clothes to wear for the next few w
At Gold Fox... Charlotte was sweating profusely as she searched around the company corridors for hours in finding her lost locket, she had been looking for it ever since she arrived at work today, she even came earlier than normal with the thoughts that it might be laying on the floor somewhere in the company. After hours of searching but to no avail, she slumped to the floor with her back to the wall as she didn't find it "Momm..." she whimpered. The locket was the last memory she had of her mother. After the death of her mother a few years back, when her father married her stepmom, she came into the house and dumped all her mother's belonging. Charlotte wasn't at home that day to stop Joanne, she arrived late, and by the time she came, all she saw was the ashes from her mother's belonging. She burned in rage but couldn't do anything as Joanne had the backing of her father, Mr. Kyle. Her stepmother had come up with the excuse that she didn't know the things were still useful and th
***STUART'S MANSION*** Troy stood in front of his grandfather who was studying the file he had brought home, nervousness, and sweat evident in Troy's eyes with the hope that his grandfather sees this as a good sign and unfreeze his account. "Good good, I'm impressed, keep it up. These are things you should spend more of your time on and not play around with your friends always, by partying at every chance you get" Old Master Stuart sat down with his glasses on as he read the document. "Now you can leave, bring more of this and I might consider pardoning you" Troy felt all his hopes shatter as he heard what his grandfather said. 'More of this?' he has spent his sweat, sleep, and time to make just one, and his grandfather wants him to bring more. "Grandfa..." "Shush, you can leave" Old Master Stuart dropped the document on the table and went back to the newspaper he had been reading before Troy came in. Troy didn't know what to do again, he picked up the document and walked out of
Mirabel stretched out as she woke up early the next morning, she checked the time and saw that it was a few minutes to six, so she immediately stood from the bed and dashed into the bathroom, even though she was still feeling groggy. She didn't take long in the bathroom before she came out after taking her bath, she went to the closet and picked out one of her blue trousers, pairing it with a light blue top. She dressed up, wore her shoes, and got ready to walk out of the room, it was already a few minutes to seven by the time she got ready. She walked out in time to see Stella also coming out of her room, Mirabel didn't stop there as she didn't want to watch Stella display a drama early this morning. But Stella on the other hand wasn't having any of that, remembering how she was humiliated by Mirabel and Charlotte a few weeks back "Bitch, so bad your stupid friend isn't here. So, you better watch your back since you are alone, I can attack anytime" Mirabel wouldn't have answered h
When Mirabel and the filming crew arrived back at the hotel that night, everyone went straight to their rooms, and food was taken to each room an hour later. Now, Mirabel was in her room munching her plate of food when she received a call from Arabella, she answered the Facetime call and set her phone on the table. "Hey" "What's up, I called to ask a question but I can't remember again" Arabella uttered as she bit her lips in annoyance at the fact that she had forgotten the reason why she called. "Ok, I'm waiting here till you remember," Mirabel said as she stood up to get a bottle of water from the fridge in the room. She took out water and uncapped the bottle before she went back to seat on the bed facing Arabella. "Oh yes! I remember now" Arabella on the other side suddenly jerked and sat up straight on the bed. "Do you still remember the guy in our college class back then who always hung around us like a fly wherever we went" Arabella let out, and you could almost see sparkle
NEXT DAY*** The filming crew was getting ready to enter the bus which would take them all to the ground for acting today. Mirabel stood with her back on the bus and her phone in her hands as she waited for them to enter gently. A few minutes later it was her turn to get in when suddenly a car drove into the gates of the hotel, the driver pressed the horn of the car so loud that it drew the attention of the crew members who were yet to enter the bus. Mirabel creased her brows as she checked in that direction and saw the red range rover, she knew who owns that car, Leon. But what was he doing here? Her thoughts were clouded with questions that she didn't realize when he came down from the car and walked up to her. "Thank goodness I arrived early," he said to her, flashing her his beautiful morning smile. "Why are you here? thought you would meet us at the market?" Mirabel asked because today's scene would be played in a market. "I came to pick you up," he said. And immediately got
