A contract termination

The air in the room seemed to crackle with tension as Genevieve's words hung heavy between them. Noah's mind raced, processing the weight of her request. To bury their past, their marriage, their love, and to start afresh as nothing more than boss and employee. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but he knew deep down that it was a small price to pay for the chance to redeem himself in her eyes."What about Leo... his health?" Noah's voice was tinged with concern, his eyes searching Genevieve's for reassurance.Genevieve's expression softened, a flicker of sadness passing through her gaze before she composed herself. "I know. Leo is a child. We can hide it from him and keep up the act of this marriage only for him until his health is back to normal, but everyone else doesn't need to partake in this lie. Let's just end it already." "And Glenn?""You have the power. Shut her up however you want, but I don't want the title of this fake marriage ruining my life any more than it already has.

What are you planning

"Call the security and ask them to escort her out of my building. Tell them to use force if needed." Noah's voice became colder, his patience wearing thin with Glenn's behavior.Mr. Lincoln hesitated, not wanting to resort to such drastic measures. "But Boss, wouldn't that be a bit extreme? She's just upset about losing her role—""No, Mr. Lincoln, it's not extreme. Glenn is causing a disturbance in my company, and I will not tolerate it. Remove her immediately," Noah interrupted, his tone leaving no room for argument."Let me talk to him!" Glenn said, reaching to grab the phone out of Mr. Lincoln's hands, but he pulled it away, shaking his head."I'm sorry, Glenn, but the boss has made his decision," Mr. Lincoln said firmly.Glenn's frustration boiled over, and she lunged for the phone again, but Mr. Lincoln held it out of her reach. "No, I won't let you do this! I demand to speak with him!"Suddenly, she reached over his desk to grab his tie, but he smacked it away, shouting, "Secur

His best interest

As the door swings open, Mrs. Stark storms into her husband's luxurious office, her face flushed with anger. She slams the door behind her, causing Mr. Stark to look up from his work with a start. "What's the matter, dear?" Mr. Stark asks, concerned by his wife's sudden entrance and obvious agitation. "Genevieve is causing trouble for Glenn at FoxZ!" Mrs. Stark exclaims, pacing back and forth in front of his desk. "She's taking out her anger over her split from Noah on poor Glenn. I've had enough of her antics. I'm going to call Mr. Lincoln and have her fired immediately." Lowering his gaze, Mr. Stark listens to his wife's tirade, his expression thoughtful. "But dear, the past few months have been peaceful. What could have provoked Genevieve to act out like this? And I find it hard to believe that Mr. Lincoln would obey her without the involvement of Dean Black. Something doesn't add up." "Are you saying that Glenn would lie to me? The poor girl was devastated on the phone," Mrs. S

It's not important

For the longest time, Genevieve and Noah sat in the hotel room, the tension between them palpable. The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast a warm light, creating a cocoon of tension around them. Genevieve fidgeted with the corner of a page from her script, her eyes fixed on the window where raindrops raced down the glass in erratic patterns. Noah, on the other hand, stared blankly at the floor, lost in his own thoughts.Just then, the sound of his ringtone interrupted their silence, and Noah immediately retrieved his phone from his pocket to check the screen. A scowl etched itself upon his features, and Genevieve couldn't help but notice."Are you going to answer it?" she asked hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper."It's not important," Noah shrugged, slipping his phone back into his pocket.Their eyes met, and at that moment, a thousand unspoken words passed between them. Genevieve could see the turmoil in Noah's eyes, the regret and the longing. She bit her bottom lip, holdin

Can I kiss you?

Gently. Noah's hand squeezed her hips, his thumb rubbing circles into the fabric of Genevieve's skirt. His other arm wrapped securely around her waist, making her flush against him. They remained like that for a long moment, neither willing to break eye contact, until he finally let it out, "Can I kiss you?"Genevieve's breath hitched at Noah's question, her heart pounding in her chest. She searched his eyes, trying to decipher the emotions swirling within them. Uncertainty, longing, desire—all mirrored in his gaze.Her mind raced, torn between the pull of her feelings for Noah and the knowledge that this moment could change everything between them. But as she looked at him, at the vulnerability in his eyes, she knew that she couldn't resist him any longer."Don't" Genevieve mumbled, pulling back slightly."Don't what?" Noah's voice was barely a whisper, his breath mingling with hers, his lips so tantalizingly close.Genevieve's heart fluttered, torn between the desire to give in to

This is not happening

The morning sun filters through the curtains, casting a warm glow over Glenn's room. She wakes up to the insistent ringing of her phone.Groaning, she reaches over and sees her mother's name flashing on the screen. She debates letting it go to voicemail but knows her mother won't give up easily.Reluctantly, Glenn answers. "Hello?""Glenn, finally!" Mrs. Carrell's voice is sharp, cutting through the early morning calm. "I've been calling and calling. Why haven't you been answering?"Glenn rubs her eyes, trying to wake up fully. "Sorry, Mom. I was sleeping. What's up?""What's up? What's up is that I just saw the news. Genevieve is still leading the production, and you're nowhere to be seen. What have you been doing all this time?"Glenn sighs, already feeling the weight of her mother's disappointment. "I'm handling it, Mom. Don't worry.""Handling it? For three months, Glenn! You keep saying the same thing, but nothing changes. I'm starting to think you don't know what you're doing."

He's drowning

For the longest, Rhodes stood outside Noah's hotel room, his knuckles hovering over the door, hesitating for a moment before he finally knocked. The door opened, revealing Noah, who was dressed in a simple white wrinkled t-shirt and faded jeans, a stark contrast to his usual sharp suits. With a faint smile, Rhodes raised an eyebrow, surprised by Noah's attire. "Boss, you're looking... casual," he remarked, a hint of amusement in his voice. Noah chuckled, stepping aside to let Rhodes in. "I figured we're going incognito today. Can't have anyone recognizing us," he said, closing the door behind Rhodes. "Is everything ready?" Noah asked, getting straight to the point. Locking eyes with his sudden dark ones, Rhodes nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, boss. The arrangements have been made. We're all set." Noah leaned back, a thoughtful look on his face. "Good. I want everything to go smoothly today." Rhodes nodded again, understanding the importance of the task at hand. "Don't wo

The footage

As Noah and Rhodes sauntered away from the pool area, the tension hung thick around them, akin to the lingering resonance of an unresolved chord in a somber melody. Each step seemed weighed down by the weight of the confrontation they had just left behind.Rhodes's phone vibrated in his pocket, disrupting the heavy silence. Hastily retrieving it, he checked the caller ID before answering, his voice pitched low, betraying the gravity of the situation."Hello?" Rhodes's response was clipped, betraying a sense of urgency."Rhodes, it's Smith. We've got the footage," came the voice on the other end, crisp and professional.Rhodes's brows shot up in surprise. "Everything?""Yeah, our guy was in the right place at the right time. We've got everything, clear as day," Smith replied confidently.Rhodes nodded, his mind racing with possibilities. "Alright, send it over."Ending the call, Rhodes turned towards Noah, a mix of curiosity and caution etched across his features. "Boss, what's the pla

Powerless

The plane ride back home felt like an eternity for Glenn. She sat in her seat, staring out the window, lost in thought. She couldn't shake off the events of the past few days—the confrontation with Noah, and the humiliation at the resort.As the plane landed and the passengers began to disembark, Glenn gathered her belongings and made her way through the airport. She hailed a cab and settled in for the ride home. The familiar sights of her town passing by felt both comforting and suffocating. She couldn't wait to be back in her own space, away from prying eyes and judgmental whispers.When she arrived home, she was relieved to find the house empty except for the maid."Young Miss, you are here?" the maid asked, her voice filled with surprise and concern.Glenn's mood, already sour from her encounter with her mother, turned even darker. She snapped at the maid, her words sharp and biting. "Of course, I'm here. Where else would I be?"The maid flinched at Glenn's tone, taken aback by her

Cryptic

Glenn reluctantly reached for her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialed Mrs. Stark's number. Each ring felt like an eternity, the weight of her mother's expectations bearing down on her with every passing second."Hello, Glenn. What can I do for you?" Mrs. Stark's voice was calm and professional, but there was an underlying tension that Glenn couldn't ignore."Mrs. Stark, it's me, Glenn. I... I wanted to talk to you about the situation with FoxZ and... and the role," Glenn stammered, her words faltering as she struggled to find the right way to phrase her request.There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Mrs. Stark responded, her tone cautious. "I understand, Glenn. Believe me, I wish there was more I could do to help. But given the circumstances..."Glenn's heart sank at Mrs. Stark's words, the reality of her situation crashing down on her with brutal force. "So, there's no chance of me getting back on the cast? Not even in a different production or wi
