Let's see how you mess this up, Thomas.... A boost to your career or a plan to harm me... Your choice.
I gave him his lines and information about his character and left.
He muttered behind my back, "I guess this pretty face is not so dumb after all.... I can play this game. Oh Laura, it seems you've encountered a problem."
The next day I woke up ready to face the challenge. There was something wrong with Laura and Thomas, and I am going to solve the problem like I always do. Mr Wilson should be so thankful to have me. Humph!
But no matter what he does, I am going to insist on a change of department. I had enough being his secretary. I am not being spoiled or something, it's just that, I know we're not in that sort of relationship, but I expected a little more from him. I did not expect him to accuse me of being with someone else and shunning when we were not even in a formal relationship and, well, maybe I was afraid of getting rejected by him when I almost confessed, so I was purposefully avoiding him now. Hehe. *laughs awkwardly*
Anyway, I was not only a manager but also a driver. I drove him all the way to his auditions. And he kept asking me to stop because of very random reasons.
"I have to make a call."
"I have to pee."
"I am hungry!"
"I feel sick."
"Hey, can you get me some medicine?"
"I feel nervous, I want some fresh air."
We stopped over twenty times on a seven kilometre drive. Who even does that? I tried to ignore him as much as possible and focussed on my task. Transport a grown man to another place. Sounds like an easy task, doesn't it?
But he's proving to be a huge pain in the butt.
"Enough! If you need to pee, hold it or-" I threw an empty cola bottle at his face. Yay, it hit him too. "Use this! And stop bothering me! I know what you're doing. And honestly it will not work."
We are going to those auditions, and it is final! No more arguments!
After we reached, he ran towards the bathroom. Ugh! Why am I annoyed so much? I never faced this with Mr Wilson. He was very punctual. He was always on time. Which made start being on time too. This guy... he is just a goddam snob!
What kind of actor is he? If he shows up late at the shooting site, he's going to get replaced in a jiffy. Where is his professionalism?
Meanwhile, Thomas looked around to see that no one is around. He took out his phone and called up Laura.
"Do not tell me that you failed..." Laura held her head in pain and sighed.
"She's a tough nut to crack, but its nice to face a challenge."
"Ugh! You idiot! Why did I even bother.... Fine, just do what you must." Laura kicked her chair while getting up. She slammed her hands against her table. She wanted to throw everything off the table, but she did not.
Yep, Laura is not a good person at all.
The devil: Yeah, no kidding.
*angry grunts*
Anyway, today was important. Today decided whether I'm going to forgive these people or destroy them before they get to Mr Wilson. Yeah, I might be in a fight with him now, but he's still my friend.
I cannot let these people try to ruin him. Come on Thomas, choose quickly, a plan to ruin Mr Wilson or a boost in your career?
What are you going to choose?
I looked around for Thomas to tell him that it's time for his audition. I went to the person calling out names and tried to explain that he was nowhere to be found and to give me a few minutes, but her answer surprised me.
"Oh? He already told me that he was leaving. You people think you're so great, leaving the audition whenever you want. Humph! Do you think our director is jobless or that he cannot find another actor?" The woman lashed out at me.
Shit! This was not some ordinary director, he has a great reputation. If Thomas creates a bad image of Revolution in front of him, then things would not be good.
UGH! I am going to kill him!
"No, that's not the case, I apologise for his behaviour. It's just that.... Well his company was on the verge of bankruptcy before Revolution took over, you know Mr Wilson don't you? He is going to be the future CEO of the Wilson groups. Anyway, he did not get much resources or exposure, so he is not used to this. That's why he ran away, he was scared."
Yes, explain the situation by making up fake reasons and throw in an influential person's name like Mr Wilson's. I would totally use my name if I was not pretending to be Luna, cough, cough. Just saying. Jason is the Movie King and Mr Wilson is so rich and blah blah blah. Yeah, using his name would be fine.
The woman glared at me. I knew that my underlying threat worked. Buh bye~ I would not do this if I was not desperate, okay? I refuse to use Mr Wilson's name and always try to solve the problem myself.
I rushed back to the company to tell Mr Wilson that this is a big sham and Laura is not trustworthy, nor is Thomas.
You idiot! Why do you trust everyone but me? Ugh, I am saving your butt once again.
I immediately got into the elevator and pressed the button, there were people running towards me asking me to stop the elevator but honestly, I do not have that much time. So I clicked the close the door button. Yeah, yeah, curse me, whatever. I have a company to save.
As usual, I barged into his office. He looked at me and frowned, and he seemed conflicted?
I was too late, Laura was already in the office, sitting on the sofa as if she was waiting for my arrival.
"Wow, great going Luna. Where's Thomas? How could you let him run away under your watch? That too after I worked day and night to get him that audition! No wonder Chris did not mind letting you work for me. He wanted to get rid of you, and this was a perfect opportunity. That's why I don't trust people of low class like you."
EXCUSE ME?! What the hell?! I instinctively looked at Mr Wilson to see if he would say anything, but he kept his mouth shut. Before Elena and now her? Mr Wilson, will you never support me?
And here I came running for you. Tch, whatever I do, it will never be enough. My dad said that. And I am starting to think he's right.
I am done. I am so done; I am done being the respectful one. I am going all out today.
"Look and listen to me with your eyes and ears open and please, open up your brain because narrow-minded people would not understand what I say. I do not work for you, I volunteered, if you have a problem with that, deal with it. Because I am not going to change one bit. Thomas is a grown ass adult, I do not think I have to deal with him or deal with his tantrums....."
I glared at Mr Wilson while saying the last sentence.
"I am not his babysitter or caretaker, so I ask you to give respect if not do not expect the same from me."
Laura just glared at me like she wanted to cut me up. Try me, I will not back down from any fight.
"Are you just going to let her talk to me like that?!" Laura shouted at Chris.
"Oh, so you want him to fight your battles? Pathetic." I turned towards Mr Wilson and said, "Here is the recording that you need. I hope you make the right choice."
I was honestly dissapointed ny him, and this was not even the first time. I left the room.
After half an hour, Laura came out looking smug while Mr Wilson looked like he was lost.
Oh, Mr Wilson..... Why?
