Unexpected customers

Meera suddenly turned her head to look at him and slightly shook her head. “I’m protected by my makeup, but you’re not. After today, there’ll be news about you and your ‘girlfriend’ on people’s lips.” Since it was unlikely for the media to report on Greg, it wouldn’t stop tongues from the high echelons to stop wagging. A thoughtful look crossed his eyes and he mumbled under his breath, “That doesn’t seem to be a bad idea.”“Did you say something?” she questioned while sipping her drink.“Nothing important,” he smiled. Greg’s phone suddenly rang, checking the caller ID, he stood up, then said, “excuse me for a moment.” Receiving her nod, he went away to take the call. Meanwhile, after he left, Secretary Sonia and Greg’s youngest sister, Lillah Carl, walked in through the entrance. They noticed that the atmosphere was weird, but as it had nothing to do with them, they didn’t mind the source of the disturbance and went to sit at a few tables away from Meera.Meera was on her phone and

Causing a rift between siblings.

She bolted up from her seat and headed over. Sonia tried to stop her but on second thought, she changed her mind and decided to enjoy the drama that would soon play out. Unlike her calculating older sisters, Delilah was spoiled rotten by everyone in her family which had made her almost unhinged. Whatever doesn’t sit well with her, she would speak up even though it would be best to stay silent. Aside from her grandmother, she was not afraid of anyone else. Even so, Lillah has quite a good character. She hates gossip, bullying, and lies. If she finds out that Sonia had lied to her about Meera, there would be dire consequences, but Sonia didn’t think of that. “Older brother, what are you doing here?” She smiled and hugged her brother on the neck, then she extended her gaze to Meera who was feeling uncomfortable under her scrutinizing stare. “You aren’t his business partner, nor his girlfriend, and you’re definitely not his secretary, so who are you?” Greg shot his little sister

Meera’s dream

Meera gave a faint nod, ready to hear his solutions. Seeing he has all of her attention, he began, “While you’re my part time secretary on the surface, you’ll use that opportunity to learn business. On the other hand, you’ll be a signed artist at Sunlight Entertainment... A fair deal, isn’t it?” Meera couldn’t even gasp. She was astonishingly stunned by what he just proclaimed. Sunlight Entertainment is the biggest in the Entertainment industry. One could only become a signed artist there if they were extremely talented. Does he want to humiliate her or send her to her early grave? “Mr. Greg, are you playing a joke on me?” “Absolutely not, you belong to Sunlight— “ “I don’t. I do not want to be humiliated, Mr. Greg. It’s enough that I’m facing so much already. I know myself and I know what I’m capable of. I’m not talented in any form or thing that the Sunlight Entertainment has to offer.” She was upset. How could he raise her hope only to dash it? At this point, she wouldn

Preparations for her comeback

"Then shouldn't you have known that the entertainment industry is seen as an immoral place?" Ben asked, his voice laced with concern. "The men and women sleep their way to the top while many sell their souls. Those who refused would be blacklisted and killed. Didn't you watch the documentation on the reality of the entertainment industry?"Meera shook her head, her eyes wide with innocence. "No, I didn't.” “Ah, right. You were busy with homework while I was watching it last week." Ben said as realization dawned in him. “But not to worry, I know the YouTube channel I saw the documentation. I'll just check again and show you the video.” With that conclusion, Ben handed his bicycle to Meera and pulled out his phone. After a long while of turning YouTube upside down in search of the video, he failed to find it. This situation irked him so greatly that he yelled, "See, they took it down! Horrible people! Meera, don't ever think of going into the entertainment industry, or I'll sever ties

New dawn

The following months were busy days for Meera, who almost didn’t have free time for herself. From going to and from Greg’s company as his part-time secretary, to going through portfolios of eligible assistants and creating a new social media account for showcasing her cosplaying talent. Even Young Lord David wasn’t spared from the troubles. While his sister and Maria were busy shooting with their cosplay costumes, he was managing Meera’s new social media account until an assistant was picked to take over the job. Greg made sure to use his resources to promote Meera’s talent until she was noticed by the cosplay industry. Three months had passed after Meera’s downfall, and now, she had picked up her tattered life. At the moment, she and her assistant, Candice, were meeting a representative of Glamour Entertainment at a coffee shop. After her viral videos which gathered tens of millions of views, millions of likes, and tens of thousands of comments on different platforms, complimentin

Caught in a dilemma

Greg’s office... The man was going through some files when his phone rang. He paused to see who called before taking the call. Reclining in the executive chair, he spoke, “Are you done?” ‘Yes, Mr Greg. It went smoothly.’ Greg turned his wrist to check the time and replied, “It was quicker than I expected. You should head home straight away and get some rest. By evening, you would likely receive an email from Sunlight Entertainment. Be sure to tell them that Glamour had offered you a jaw-dropping contract terms. That way, they would increase whatever Glamorous offered you.” ‘Yes, Manager Greg!’ Her soft melodious voice, laced with tease, tickled Greg’s heart and his lips stretched into a smile. “I may drop by later. Do you mind?” The other end stayed silent for a while, sending Greg’s heartbeat increasing in anticipation and dread with every passing second. Ever since they started working together, she had stopped him from going over unless it was unavoidable. ‘Can’t we discuss

Meeting Rosie

At Greg's family's home… Earlier, he received a call from his father to drop by for dinner. As it was his father's birthday, Greg couldn't turn it down, so he attended. Sitting around the dining table with his three sisters, mother, father, Sonia, and a lady he didn't expect would be there, Rosie. Greg shot a glare at his little sister, Delilah. He knew she would have been the brain behind such arrangements, and indeed, he wasn't wrong. Delilah stuck out her tongue and made funny faces at him. So what if he was angry because Rosie was present? What can he do about it? It was their father's birthday, after all. “Lillah, don't annoy your brother,” their mother chimed in with a smile. “What did I do? He glared at me first.” She pouted, causing the father to laugh lightly and shake his head. “I thought your birthdays were only attended by family? How come you have strangers sitting around the dining table this year?” Greg casually stated in a bid to communicate his dissatisfaction.

Hudson to the rescue

Walking to the garage, Greg opened his mouth. “Rosie, I have something to discuss with you– ““I'm sorry for my nonchalance in the previous months, Greg. You're a businessman yourself, so you know how these things work.” She suddenly cut him off. Months ago, after the family function, Greg's parents sent Rosie's dowry to her family, in preparation for their wedding that was supposed to happen in a month, just like the Matriarch of the Carl family wanted. However, Rosie was too busy with her business, as she was making arrangements to put up a branch in Africa. So, because of that, the marriage was postponed. It seems that the Carl family doesn't care about what Greg thinks. “I mean to tell you, Rosie, that I have someone I'm interested in. I want to make her my wife. But that person is not you.” Rosie froze, her face turning pale. Greg is the man she had always loved, right from when they were kids. Everyone around her knew it. She had stayed away from men because she thought Gre

Cornering Meera again

By the time Meera returned to Greg's office with the coffee, he was already in, reading a document. Meera paused by the entrance before walking in. “I'm sorry, Mr. Greg. The coffee maker was faulty, so I had to go downstairs to – “Meera froze when he raised his head. His face was dark and the look in his eyes were ones she'd never seen before. She was told by his other assistant that it was his tradition to have his coffee before starting his day. Was he angry because he started his day without coffee? Meera didn't know why but she felt a pang of pain in her heart. She was a bit disappointed. A part of her thought he wouldn't treat her as a mere employee after months of knowing each other. With her gaze lowered, she walked briskly to the desk and quickly put his coffee down. With her back turned and ready to leave, she suddenly heard his suppressed voice. “Why didn't you fight back?”She froze. Fight back, what was he talking about? She turned to face him. “Why did you let the

Putting them in their places

Stella blinked. What was she talking about? “Since I'm good at tattle-taling trivial matters to the CEO, you should answer every single question I ask you.” Meera addressed her and asked again. “Stella, did I steal your money?” “No,” she replied. “Did I steal your man?” Stella shook her head. “Do we share the same parents?”“Why are you asking me these stupid – ““Answer me!” Meera thundered, startling Stella and everyone present. She's always been calm and didn't look like one who would fight back when stepped on. “No.”“Are we in any way related? Scratch that. Am I hindering your progress at work, or slashed your salary?” “No!”“Then, where is your hatred coming from?” she asked. “Don't play dumb! Sonia was fired because of you!” The other of Greg's assistant chimed in. Meera raised her gaze, “Did Mr. Greg tell you that? If I were the reason, would she have been suspended or rather fired?”“You– ““Was I here when Sonia was fired?” she smirked at Stella’s baffled face and
