CHAPTER SIX

"Ivan! Are you— the actress!?" Nora asked, staring sternly at Ivan.

"Surprise? I think so". She said with giggles on her face as she sat down.

"This is so funny. So you replaced me with an illiterate who did not even know how to read a script?" She asked with laughter.

"Are you any better than that illiterate who swept your position off your feet?". With chuckles, Ivan asked before taking her seat.

"I guess the dumb ass bald man accepted you just for his purpose". She mouthed.

"Nora I won't let you insult me in my office, so leave! Now!" Manager Mark's thunderous voice hit her ear.

"Fine!"

"Ivan, it won't end well with you. I swear!" She whispered and walked out.

"Mrs. Luca, I'm sorry for the awkward moment". He apologized as he stretched over a cold soft drink to her.

"Thank you but I am the one who should be formal here and not you". She said politely.

"Okay ma. Here is your script". He said as he gave her the script of the audition.

“you are acting the role of a prostitute with the ML and the behind the scenes will be after the audition tomorrow ”. Her secretary whispered in her ear, making her eyes roll.

"I..."

"What happened ma?" He asked her.

"Oh, nothing. Just that I need to use the restroom". She said pretentiously.

"Okay". With his permission, she immediately heads into the bathroom.

*IN THE BATHROOM*

Walking into the bathroom, she bumped into Nora.

Nora raised her head and walked a few meters to Ivan before producing some lousy chuckles from her... "I thought we won't meet again. What a coincidence!"

"Nora, what did you want this time!?" She asked drifting back until her back was touching the wall.

"I want to take my space now or I will damage your pretty face and you will end up in the hospital and lose the role, making you suffer two losses". She giggled as she threatened Ivan.

"Nora, what did you want to do to me? Is treating me badly and abusing me for ten years isn't enough!?" She asked with hatred as her pale cheeks turned red from the fright.

Bringing out two containers she asked curiously. "I want to wash your face with hydrochloric acid or should I use Barium acid?"

"Maybe both of them will be so good on you... Yeah, this thigh of yours will be so messy not to cover them". She snarked with her hand opening the container.

"I..."

"Here is the document sir," his secretary said as she stretched over the document to him.

"Have you read it?" He asked his secretary who nodded her head in response.

"Speak when I talk to you and not body gestures me". His voice echoed calmly yet dangerously.

"Okay, sir".

"Go and sign it in my place and give a copy to him". He said not taking his gaze off his laptop.

"Okay sir". With that, she took the document from him and signed it before walking out.

He immediately picked up his phone as he thought about something and texted Grey. “Grey please come over to my office”.

“I'm already at your company. Will be heading to your office now”. Grey texts back.

After some minutes, he walked into Luca's office with his hand tucked in his pants pocket and his head roughly swift to the left.

"Man, you look hot in this shirt". Grey teased as he remembered the incident that happened earlier.

"Guy this isn't time for jokes. Like I want you to come up with an idea of what to do to avoid that lady". Luca said, closing his laptop as he sat down gently with his head upright.

With a feeling of amusement in him as he found it hard to believe the reason Luca called him over was because of a lady, he asked. "Unbelievable!! Like you call me here just for this?" Because the ‘Luca’ he knows will never call you over for a meet apart from money and work sake!

"What did you mean by the exclamation?" Luca asked as he suppressed the rage filled in him.

"Cause this isn't the Luca I know. You aren't the person that will call anyone for help in an issue like this".

"Is that not enough to be amused?". Grey asked sadly.

"You can think whatever you want but what I want is your opinion". Luca muttered.

"My opinions? Do they matter? Or when did you start heeding to my advice and opinions?". Grey asked with disgust as he held back the laughter...

"Grey this isn't time for this, you know how badly I need your advice at times like this". He said with seriousness in his voice.

"Fine. What did you want me to do or...?" Grey asked.

"Your opinions cause I don't want to lose my entitlement nor did I want to have anything to do with a bitch who is acting the role of a prostitute" He muttered bitterly.

"Don't Tell me you are jealous?". Grey, who already had his facial expression, asked.

"Of course not. Not like I have a thing with her". He replied.

"You have to get a ring in her finger and announce to the public that you are married and then wait for a month and divorce her. That is the only solution and advice I will give you".

"So I am left with no option than to be married to that lady." He muttered lazily as he picked up his laptop and heed outside.

"Don't be too hard on yourself". Grey mumbled before walking out from his office.

~~~~~~~~~

Heeding out from his office, he walked into his car and drove off to an accessory mall.

"Good day sir". The waitress greeted him as he walked into the mall.

"Good day, Ms. Do you have the latest diamond ring?". He asked.

"Yes sir but why don't you buy the gold and silver made ring cause a diamond ring means you are wishing to stay away from that person". The lady explained.

"Did you want to lose your job?" He asked with his gaze on her as his eyes state nothing but anger.

"I'm sorry sir". She bowed as her leg trembled in fear.

After a while, she walked into the safe where the Diamond ring was being stored and brought out a beautiful sparkling ring.

"Will this do?". She asked after stretching over the ring for him.

"Yes". He took the ring from her and spectated it before handing over his card for payment and the ring for packaging.

"Ivan or whatever your name is, I wish you could just walk out of my life and go to hell". He muttered after he took the ring and headed into his car.

"I don't think I can drive this way". With the thought of his mood, he immediately brought out his phone and dialed the chauffeur's number.

Without keeping him waiting for long, the chauffeur arrived and drove off to the ‘Starlight Movie location’.
