"...Uh.. Making… "
How did she come to complain about her contract, ending up with a hand around her neck? And escalated in being killed. Her heart skipped a beat at the forcefulness of his hands. She was going to die at his hands today; she picked the wrong day for anyone.
Someone strolled in the room with a hand tucked into his pocket, putting on a fluffy white t-shirt, "Let go of her Vince, I don't think it's a good idea to kill, not when you have invested enough money in her," Rui interrupted the murderous act.
There was a relief in her body language, but she tensed up again as Rui finished his words.
"Maybe after she yields profit, then you can kill her. '' standing a few meters away. He was in the adjoining room working when he heard the irregular beat, strong and clear. Thinking it was one of the foolish maids who broke something, trying to cover up. Seeing the strict butler coming to inform him that Lily had arrived. Just for him to enter the living room to see her being strangled up.
With his hands still curled on her neck, he released his grip, pushing her back. She was his girlfriend, but most importantly, Rui's property.
Taking a few steps back, coughing hard, while holding her neck, that had visible hand print. She glared at him. "Are you out of your mind? Were you trying to kill me?" her voice was still shaking, still recovering from the shock.
"I wasn't attempting but would have actually killed you. If Rui had not shown up, by now the butler would have been dragging your lifeless body to the garden, putting it to use as manure for his apple tree. "
Rui came forward to pat her back. "Dear dear, it's okay, taking deep breaths." passive about her continues coughing, leading her to the chair.
"I need water. '' she said to Rui. He signals a maid to bring the water. The maid came in three minutes later with a glass of water on a silver tray. Picking up the water, he handed it to her, dismissing the maid.
She took a large from it, her throat gulping every down, forgetting the men present in the room.
"There must be something special about the water, since you're drinking it like it's some kind of wine." Vincent broke the silence, taking his seat.
"Don't listen to him. Take your time. " Rui ushered her.
She never imagined the same person who wanted her dead, because of his investment in her, would be so kind. She never suspected him of being two-faced. Maybe the one she should be cautious of was him, not Vincent. Staring at him as he gave her a calm smile.
"My agreement with the company was terminated Rui, do you perhaps know about this? Surely the management has informed you." been careful with her words, not wanting to be strangled again out of her choice of words.
Rui took the glass from her. "We will make good on our commitment to sponsoring and enrolling you into GL Entertainment."
"GL, but that's a small company. They can't even afford a B listed actress, let alone me."
"We can, as it's now under spark entertainment. We are going to make it one of the most competitive companies in the industry, and what better way other than to have you there? " crossing his legs to have her sit up immediately.
"You brought the company, why?" they were already the owner of such a big company, and numerous other companies under them. So why buy something of no value?
"Why, because spark is such a big company with high standards, who don't sign upcoming talents but those who already have a place in the industry, so GL will be like a train medium, that will be discovering new talents, after giving them a spot then they will be up to spark requirements."
"So signing me there will boast their base, but I don't see the reason why I have to leave. I mean, I still could have been in spark and GL too."
Between the back-and-forth conversation going on, not once did Vincent meddle their dialogue exchange. He just sat there bored, waiting for any form of harsh word or action. He yawned so loud, dragging the attendants of both of them. "O it's nothing, continue. "
"It's going to cause an uproar, why would both companies sign in the same actress, and now that both companies are owned by one person, it will look like we are giving you too much endorsement, don't worry you are going to be the model ambassador."
That was one golden opportunity to be the ambassador. She was going to be the company's representative. Her face would be on every cover related to GL. Actually, it was a win-win situation for both of them.
Firstly, she would get a big opportunity in her career by joining GL industries as its ambassador.
Secondly, all contracts will first be referred to her before going to someone else. There was no need to put up with anyone's dirty tricks.
"Ok, I agree, but there's a condition. " looking to and fro at Vincent and Rui, "I no longer want to be Vincent's contact girl, I want A real relationship between us." if they were going to use her then she might as well use them to get what she wants.
"Lilly, I think there's a misconception here. Your personal relationship with him has no connection with our business transaction, no personal feeling involved, also you are in no position to demand anything. "
Finally, some drama and a smirk appeared on his lips. Vincent then said, "You must be delusional if you think I gave a shit about whatever agreement Rui is offering you, spark or you can die. "
Rui rubbed his forehead, as a slight headache was coming up. "You heard him for self." her request was an outrageous one. There was no way Vincent was going to agree. He was not a pushover. And I think that she wants to form a real relationship with him. What a joke.
"I already have the contract drafted. All it needs it's your signature on them. "
"If I refuse the offer, I will not be a model for GL." She can also act stubborn, too. She made a move to the door, ready to escape.
"I have the upper hand Lilly, what I say stands you're going to GL, and that's final, and if you want to run give it a try, but once I laid my hands on you consider yourself six feet below the earth. '' Rui threatened, throwing the glass at her directly, but missed on purpose.
Lilly covered her ear, her eyes tightly short, waiting for the object to hit her. Hearing the shattered piece of glass near her, with some piece slicing through her arm. She opened her eyes to meet a composure Rui. She ran out before more damage would be done to her.
"You scared her. That's my job, not yours." Vincent said.
"I think a change in roles was a great experience, you acting calm and me being the careless one."
"It seems like you're trying to insult me." Vincent said while resting his arms on the armrest....
