" I am really shocked Derrick". " Me too" said Francis. " Last time, we requested you to sing for our album .But, you denied . Then , why now??? Is it because of Isabella???"
Derrick ignored their curious eyes. " I have to go . I have an important meeting ". He left with a hidden smile. He was going to meet Isabella.
" Why Mr. Derrick want to meet me??? " She didn't want to meet him. If she didn't agree to sing in the album for the sake of the huge debt ,she would have quit and never meet this play boy again. But, she had no other option. She was trapped between two devils ; Harrison and Derrick .
Bella entered into the restaurant. Derrick was waiting for him." You are late by three minutes and forty seconds".
" Are you kidding?? It's just three minutes Mr. Derrick".
" Miss Bella, each seconds in my life is worth millions. So, how are you going to compensate me?" A playful smiled appeared in his face.
" Ok. You can come late by three minutes and forty seconds for our next meeting. How does that sound???"
" It seemed I overestimated my girl. Even though, she appeared like a weak girl infront of me, she was actually a strong one . " Thought Derrick.
" This time you can compensate me with a dinner".said Derrick.
" Ok. Then ." She breathed a sigh if relief and asked" Why did you call me Mr. Derrick???
" I wanted to discuss a few things about our album. We decided to start our recording next week. The shooting will be done in Spain and Paris. The investors decided that you will play the role of heroine as well as sing in the album ".
" What??" Her jaw dropped. " It's already a great opportunity for me to sing in your album. After all singing is my passion. But,I am entirely new to the field of acting. In my opinion, you should convince them to assign an experienced actress for this".
" Miss Bella, it's already approved. Your face has a good similarity with the girl in this album and everyone want a new face. " said Derrick.
Derrick wanted to make her first album to hit on the top. So, it will be a new start for her. There were a few stars ,who can both sing and act. He believed that his dream girl was capable.
" But..."
" No buts .." Derrick was serious.
" One moment he acts as a play boy, next second he will be a cold serious man. That's may be the reason both Derrick and Harrison were best friends. Both have so much similarities. Why am I thinking of him???" thought Bella.
" Hey Bella, where have you gone??" Derrick waved his hands .
" oh! it's nothing."
" Welcome Miss Rose and Mr. Gu . Please this way"
Bella turned her head to the side and saw two people entering the restaurant.
It was Rose and Harrison. Bella' s heart skipped a beat. Derrick saw the sudden changes in her face.
" Harrison and Rose were childhood friends . They are going to be engaged soon".
Derrick explained to Bella as if he knew what was going in her mind . He understood that Bella had a crush towards Harrison on that day ,when he rescued her, after all he saw the her eyes and her expectations for Harrison. It may hurt Bella in this triangle of love eventually ,because he knew that Rose was a vicious girl . Bella was no match for her.
Moreover, he wanted Bella as his forever. So, it's better to stop her in the early stage itself. Yes; everybody is selfish in this world. Bella was his first and last love. Everything is fair in war and love ...
