All Chapters of The Devil behind me: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Arriving at my destination, I came down from the taxi, looking up at the tall building before I entered inside. I greeted the familiar faces of my colleagues as I made my way to a particular office. I stood outside a door and knocked on it. "Come in" I heard the familiar voice say, and I opened the door, peeping inside first before entering. "Good Afternoon, Director Wade" I greeted the man inside the office, who heard my voice and turned his swiveling chair to face me. "Miss Jayden, how are you doing?" he asked pointing to a seat for me to sit on. "I'm fine, sir" I replied with a smile. Director Wade of Spark Light entertainment industry, was a nice man, one of the people I had a good relationship with working here. "What brings you here? I doubt you have a film shooting to do today" he asked and I shook my head as a sign that I don't. "I came for something else," I said to him. "Ok... I'm listening" he said and I started the conversation by telling him about how I intended to

Unfolding the paper I stood there staring at it, I was acting the scene of 'AT LEAST I WON'T DIE ALONE - from don't leave me without muffin' a drama My script read " Ginger aims to run away from home in the middle of the night". All I had to do is to make the judges, also known as the casting crew feel the moment of the script, as I run in fear. I waited patiently for my turn as I saw each participant enter in through the door and sauntered out after five minutes. After hours of waiting it finally reached Number 55. She went in, but to my surprise, she came out in less than five minutes with tears flowing down her eyes, what might have happened? seeing her in this state caused fear to build up in me. "Participant Number 56, come in now" I wiggled out of my thoughts when I suddenly heard my number being called by the Stage manager. I made my way into the room and entering in, I saw three people, a male and two females who happened to be the casting team serving as the judges. I

We sat down in a private room in the restaurant to eat. Looking at all the arranged food which just the two of us won't be able to finish. The room was silent, only the gentle clattering of our spoons and plates could be heard. I sneaked a peak at him and was awed at how elegant he ate. I'm not crazy, but I just found everything about him so perfect with no flaws at all. My eyes traveled to his eyes, to his chiseled jaws, his neatly arranged even sprinkling of grey and dark hair. One of the features I admired the most was his eyes. A lot of time would have been spent sculpting this creature, I uttered to myself inwardly. My gaze traveled down to his lips, I could feel my throat dry up recalling what happened in the car. He suddenly rose his head up and our eyes met, I nearly choked on my food as he caught me sneaking peeks at him, I cleared my throat and looked away. He stopped moving and stared at me, I wasn't looking at him but I could feel his gaze for a moment before he resume

Mirabel's POV Feeling the soft comfy surface on which I lay, my eyes shot open. I looked around my surroundings and realized I was in my bedroom, my racing heart finally calmed down, but how did I get here? Thoughts of what happened earlier started flooding in. "Geez..." I screamed out loud in frustration as I remembered what happened in the car. My hands glid to feel my lips "You took the initiative, Mirabel, how in the world could you be so bold?" I said to myself"What initiative?" I jolted when I suddenly heard a voice say out of nowhere. I swerved my head to the door and I saw Arabella standing there, gauging me with her eyes, her two hands resting on either side of her waist, like a mother questioning her child. "Huh? Nothing," I said stammering.Arabella didn't say anything as she slowly walked up to me, if she comes any closer she would surely see how flustered I looked. "I need to wash my face," I said as I stood up from the bed and scrambled my way to the bathroom, I e

Mirabel's POV I arrived early at Gold Fox on Monday morning, I made my way to the receptionist as I entered the company. "Hi, I'm Mirabel Jayden, a new employee, please where should I head to?" I inquired the receptionist. "Hello, Welcome to Gold Fox, go through the door over there, the hall for new artists is in that direction," she said pointing toward where I should follow. "Thank you" I nodded in appreciation before I made my way to the door I entered through the door just as she had told me, strolling in I saw the nice woman from that day, she was heading in my direction. "Good morning, Mrs. Jennie" I greeted her as we were about to cross paths. "Ms. Mirabel, welcome," she said with delight in her tone as she smiled. "Thank you, ma'am" "Ok, follow me, your new colleagues are here," she said as she walked towards the other end where a door was before she opened it. I trailed behind her as we both strode in. We walked into a large office, where some other people were stayi
