*Sophia's point of view*
I'm still in shock, Justin Desmond, well I can't even ask how he got my number, I mean this is the entertainment industry, I'm sure I was silent for awhile because he spoke up again.
" Sophia, are you there?".
" Sorry, yes I'm here, good evening".
" Well I got your number from a reliable source, lol, I called now cause I thought you'd be free by this time. I'm glad I didn't wake you up, how was your day".
" It was really good, well the later part was the best actually".
" I'm glad you enjoyed your day, you'll come to work tomorrow right?".
" Yes, we have a lot of things to talk about concerning our new movie so I'll definitely be there tomorrow".
" Good, I can't wait to see you tomorrow, I'll end the call now so you can rest up".
" Alright, thank you, bye bye".
" Bye".
He ended the call and I turned to Carl
" Justin Desmond, for real".
Carl just raised his eyebrow, he didn't look convinced.
" I'm not sure what his intentions are, but whatever they are the only thing I can say is be careful Sophia, tread with caution".
" I guess Ethan is calling tonight, looks like I'll have to wait till tomorrow to see him then, good night".
I went to the bathroom to shower and then went straight to bed.
*Ethan's point of view*
" Soooo, how was your dinner, how'd it go. You know I'm itching to hear it so start talking".
" Can you quit being so nosy, my private life is none of your business Daven".
" Says a man who I'm his only confidant, I'm not going to beg you, keep your silly business to yourself".
I handed him my phone and he unlocked it, headed straight to the gallery and had wide eyes and an open mouth.
" Shut your mouth before a fly gets in moron".
" You guys took pictures laughing and holding hands like you've known each other forever, and you took her to Montenaro, I thought that's our private place".
" Jealous?".
" Hell na, at least you've finally hit it up with someone from the entertainment industry and Sophia at that, this was the least of my expectations you know".
" Whatever, I'm tired, good night".
I left my phone with him and went to bed, tomorrow's gonna be a long day.
*Sophia's point of view*
" Wake up Sophia".
" Except it's a direct call from GD then don't wake me up".
" It's better than a call from GD, your pictures and videos with Ethan are all over the internet, and the comments are wild. GD is actually using this as a means of advertisement, it's epic".
I jumped out of bed and practically dragged the phone out of Carl's hand and he wasn't exaggerating about what he said, the comments are wild.
" Are they dating already?," She's pretty and he's handsome, they have my permission to date". "Our latest couple?", "Their children are gonna look ethereal". And GD comments, " they might be a good fit don't you think", " please support their new movie that's coming up". Sick!".
" Sick indeed, you were so right when you said this is epic, like what the actual heck. But why would Ethan post all this, for publicity. Was that also the reason for the dinner date".
" I doubt that, but just tread carefully, get dressed, we'll see them there anyway".
I ran to the bathroom, I was so curious that I wanted to see him immediately. Carl and I hurried to GD without me having breakfast and as the universe would have it, Ethan's car also pulled in.
" Ethan, first of all, good morning".
" Morning buttercup, I'm sure you saw the news on the internet, wild right".
" You didn't post those pictures, it wasn't you?".
" I know better than to do that, it was someone at Montenaro, but GD is using this as a means of gaining more publicity and building love from fans, so we're not going to say or do anything contrary".
" So you're trying to say that we should act like we're in a relationship, just to please our fans".
" Not necessarily, only if truly needed which in our situation may or may not be the case, so just chill".
We got into the office and all eyes were on us, I could hear whispers. Ethan just winked at me and went ahead with Daven who surprisingly didn't say a word throughout our conversation, weird.
" Sophia, hey"
Justin Desmond, a part of me expected to see him.
" Hello, what's cooking".
" I should be asking you that question after what we all saw yesterday, you both seem really close for people who argued all the time".
" We didn't argue, it's more like bickering, you know, friendship arguments and stuff".
" Here you are already defending him, but we all know it's for the publicity so it's fine, will you be free later today".
" I doubt that, even though I'll be free I'm sure I'll be very tired, why, is something up".
" Not really, just wanted to hang out somewhere, I'll check in on you later, just take care of yourself okay".
" Yeah, sure".
He smiled at me and left, he seems nice.
" So, is there a reason you're smiling at Justin like that, hmmm".
Ethan stood behind me smiling suspiciously.
" It's nothing, and is there a reason why you're smiling at me like that, hmmm".
" It's nothing, lol, have you had breakfast, I'm starving".
" I'm starving too, let's go eat".
We went to the cafeteria together and had breakfast, Ethan didn't care about what anyone said and he felt like a breath of fresh air that I've been waiting for. I totally forgot that Carl wasn't by my side until Ethan brought him up.
" What was Carl's reaction about what happened yesterday?".
" Pretty normal, just as shocked as everyone was to see it on the internet, he was like excited kind of shocked if you get what I mean".
" I get you, he had the same reaction as Daven then. I went through our script and we've got a lot of intense kissing scenes and even some really hot make out too, think you can handle it princess".
" Well I give one of the best kisses you can ever get anywhere".
" I've seen some of your kissing scenes and they're not bad, but you have to admit that I'm better than you in this field, besides I have more experience than you do".
" And what makes you say that, I can top you without sweating".
" Really, wanna try that".
" Ya, I'll show you".
" Right now?".
" Of course right now...., Wait what, Ethan you jerk".
He laughed hard and some people at the cafeteria looked at us but he didn't care, I just laughed at how carefree and silly he actually is.
" Sorry princess".
" You're a really nice guy, and I'm not saying that because of the dinner date or how you're behaving right now, this just adds to what I've seen before".
" What have you seen before?".
" Well I saw you help that lady and her son by taking them into your home despite them being strangers, and I also saw you and Daven attend a kid's birthday at the orphanage too".
" Have you been stalking me princess?".
He asked with a raised eyebrow
" Definitely not, I just happen to be there at the time. What about Carl and Daven, what do you think they're up to, settling their differences maybe".
" Definitely not, eat up, let's go see the director".
I listened to him but we continued chatting while eating. Walking to the director's office I bowed and greeted every staff who smiled or waved at me, but Ethan just dragged me into the director's office, silly boy.
*Yvonne's point of view*
" Yvonne can you help me clean up Mr. Derrick's room, I need to hurry up and get the dishes done so I can start making dinner, Mr. Ethan and Mr. Daven won't be back till evening you know".
" Sure thing".
I left for Mr. Derrick's room as she left for the kitchen. Knocking on his door but receiving no response I went in and he wasn't in his room, I just started cleaning, picking up his clothes from the bed to arrange them and a drug fell off.
" Oh jeez".
I picked it up and searched the drawer for the container that carries the same type of drugs so I could put it in and I found it, a cough tablet. Putting it in, I went back to my cleaning when something flashed through my mind.
I brought out the container again and looked at it, this is the same drugs that I also take when I'm sick with cough but the pills inside looks nothing like it. I put it down, finished my cleaning and rushed to the kitchen to meet Stephanie.
" Stephanie, Stephanie".
" Yes Yvonne".
" I found some drugs in Derrick's room, apparently they're supposed to be ordinary cough pills, but I used to take that particular cough drug and the pills look nothing alike".
" Yvonne I'm sure it's nothing, maybe they changed the design of the pills, or maybe they made a cough drug that cures other things so it doesn't look exactly like the one you saw or took before, stop worrying too much".
I wanted to listen to her and shake off the feeling but I just can't, and I didn't want to tell Mr. Ethan so I won't add more to his stress, I pray everything is alright.
