The next day arrived too slowly for Yianna. It was not any different for Lucas Star and his manager, Edward Williams.
Right after the duo dropped Yianna to her house, they found out the horrible reality to the supposed marriage scandal that appeared in all celebrity gossip outlets. Reaching to the actor's condo in New York itself, Lucas brought in Edward trying to do damage control to this nonsense. Sponsors called him left and right to ask if it is true as it can influence the trade markets. Directors and producers called to inquire if in the middle of all this, will the scheduled productions of movie projects happen on time? In short, its nothing short of a mess.
Despite being in the eye of the storm, Lucas was still acting like a man who came back from vacation. He didn't bother to answer any calls which later diverted to his manager earning him a scathing glare. But the actor didn't just care.
At last, not being able to take this torture, Edward came forward and made a deal with Lucas.
Meet Yianna and release a statement that there has been no marriage and no fling between you both.
Lucas being Lucas did not find a reason to do all this. Past experience has taught him that gossips and scandals get swept under the blanket after a while or when a new scandal emerges. But he can understand the glaring difference. His previous scandals were with his co-stars who took advantage of the fame to get more followers/fans. On the other hand, the current situation held one Ms. Crazy Lady aka Ms. Yianna Mathews who liked shouting in his ears and has a very short temper. Also, the lady also has a Youtube channel from which she earns her daily bread. Lucas, as a person who rose the Hollywood ladder came from the bottom. He will never jeoperdize someone's hardwork, no matter which platform it is from. So he reluctantly agreed to this deal.
The Star, while on the way to cafe he and his manager agreed to meet Yianna, had looked into the Youtube Channel, 'Dress with Yi', and saw the repercussions of the gossip in her account. Various negative, threatening messages was spotted on her comments space, all demanding her to give a statement. He might be too late to reverse this completely but he swore to himself that Yianna, that fiery tempest, will live her life without his shadow marring her truly innocent image.
He sighed seriously, sitting beside his manager inside the empty cafe. His manager, Edward, looked at him with a knowing look, absolutely confident that Lucas was disturbed with the comments on him and Yianna. To the world around them. Lucas is a playboy, a great actor with a wonderful future, but not a wit of care for his surrounding and the people. A true free spirit.
But to Edward, Lucas is so much more than the Hollywood extraoridinaire. After working with him for many years, understanding his quirks and tricks and the masks he puts on, Lucas is one of the greatest intellectual minds he has ever seen. This side of the star was exposed to him only when Edward had gained his trust all those years ago and brought him to his house. What astonished him was not the extravangza of the house but the simplicity of it in the inside. Truly, he felt like walking in a home that is futuristic. And the three floor library with books from all across the world in different languages made him gape at Lucas after finding out he can speak 10 languages. So why the free spirited playboy image? Well, that's not Ed's story to tell.
Now back to the cafe.
The manager payed the cafe staff for three hours so that they can have the place for themselves. They didn't have to wait for Yianna for long as the door bell ringed and she came inside. Ed had to agree she dressed well with sunglasses, a testimony to her profession on DIY fashion.
Lucas saw her as well and she beckoned her to their side. Yianna strutted well and to the Hollywood star, her stride is not of happiness or nonchalance, but anger and anxiety. Her shoulders were stiff.
Yianna sat beside Lucas opposite to Edward and took out her sunglasses. Anger was evident in her eyes and turned to Lucas and glaringly stated,
"I really hoped that we didn't meet again, Lucas. But it seems life has other plans and I certainly don't like these plans at all. You better have a plan to fix all this nonsense."
Yianna has lost her patience. Why is it that Yianna cannot accept this scandal with grace? Why is she over-reacting to this? Is there a story behind her hysteria and anxiety?
