Shuffle Playlist: My Life by Nicki Minaj
"Have fun? Touching me without my consent, trying to force me to drink, and openly making sexual advances at me is fun to you? Do you know what bullying is? When the other party isn't amused by what you are doing is considered bullying.'' Sabrina yelled angrily. She looked at Mimi and asked.
''Do you enjoy being grouped by these creeps?''
''Is none of your business.'' Mimi stood up with her purse and walked away. She purposely bumped into Sabrina's shoulder as she walked out.
''Hey! This girl is so ungrateful.'' Tia yelled at Mimi and held Sabrina. ''Darling, are you alright?'' She asked.
''Mm! I'm fine. Let's go before Bia gets worried.'' Sabrina replied and turned to leave and the producer held her hand.
The producer smirked and seized Sabrina up. ''Since you made Mimi leave, why don't you entertain us?'' He spoke.
Sabrina felt disgusted by the way the producer was looking at her. ''Right! It will be rude to leave without entertaining you.'' Sabrina picked a bottle of beer and emptied it inside a glass.
''Darling, what are you doing? You can't even drink.'' Tia asked.
''Waking them up since they are bent on sleeping.'' Sabrina replied before picking up the glass of beer. She splashed it on the producer.
Everyone at the table were shocked by Sabrina's actions. The producer felt embarrassed and wanted to teach Sabrina a lesson. ''You… how dare you?'' He picked up the empty beer bottle and intended to hurt Sabrina with it but another hand intercepted.
Sabrina was frightened by the producer's actions and covered her face with her hands. After a while, when she didn't feel anything, she looked up and saw Vincent in front of her.
''Oh, is you…'' Sabrina was surprised to see him.
''Are you alright?'' Vincent asked.
''Yes, since you protected me.'' Sabrina smiled. Up till now, she still had no idea who he was.
When the people saw Vincent, they all started to scurry away, leaving only the producer and Director Alfonso.
''CEO… CEO Maraj. What are you doing here?'' The Producer asked timidly and backed away.
''CEO Maraj? Are you Vincent Maraj?'' Tia asked.
Vincent didn't bother to give Tia a reply. Instead, he shifted his cold gaze towards the producer saying. ''Everything has been recorded. Miss, in case you want to sue them, I will let the owner of the club send you a copy of the recording. As for our business discussion this morning, you don't need to get back to me anymore. I don't want with sex offenders.''
''Whoa!'' Sabrina mumbled and chuckled. At that moment, Vincent looked cool in her eyes.
''CEO, the car is ready.'' Miss Georgia walked over and said to Vincent. She turned and smiled at Sabrina.
''Let's go!'' Vincent turned to leave and Sabrina immediately chased after him. When he got outside and was about to get inside his car, she stopped him.
''Wait!'' Sabrina heaved deeply and looked at Vincent. ''We meet again!'' She said with a smile.
Vincent gave Sabrina an indifferent look saying. ''If you are done speaking, get out of the way.''
''I am not done. You've saved me two times in two separate days. If you don't mind, let me buy you dinner.'' Sabrina smiled.
Georgia looked at Sabrina and furrowed her brows. She shifted her gaze at her boss and wondered what he was going to do.
'Aren't you tired of that fake smile?'' Vincent asked coldly.
Sabrina's face changed but she didn't allow his words to get to him.
Vincent studied her facial expression and added. 'No need!''
'No! There is the need. You are my savior.'' Sabrina's captivating smile almost got to him but Vincent looked away and got into the car. He didn't need to tell Georgia to drive before she did.
As she drove away, Georgia noticed Sabrina still at the same spot, looking at their car. Georgia didn't say anything. She was just wondering why her boss went out of his way to help Sabrina.
Since knowing him and working with Vincent, Georgia knew him very well. He wasn't someone who would casually meddle into people's business, especially women.
Just now, Sabrina mentioned that he had saved her before and today. Georgia knew who Sabrina was. She is a fan and has even decorated her office with pictures of Sabrina but her boss had never asked her anything about it and she didn't know he was interested in celebrity news.
''CEO…''
''If you are going to ask me how I know her, don't. I don't know her. We only met twice that's all.''
''I see. She is Sabrina Van. She won the best voice actress award at the just ended award show we attended. She is my favorite voice actress.'' There was excitement in her voice as she spoke.
Vincent acted as if he wasn't listening but he was actually paying attention to Georgia's words.
''Sabrina is really pretty in person. If I wasn't with you, I would have gotten a signed auto…'' Georgia pursed her lips when she saw Vincent's gaze through the mirror. She killed her excitement and drove quietly.
Vincent looked outside the window. He reminisced on what happened at the club and why he stepped in to save Sabrina.
Inside the club earlier on, Vincent was there to see his friend and cousin who was also a voice actor and the owner of the club, Kai Luca. While leaving the club, he heard Sabrina's words and turned. He was surprised to see her but was even more intrigued by her bravery.
He had to admit she acted brave and stood her ground in front of those perverts. Even he didn't know why he suddenly went over to intervene. It was a sudden force that took over him and he walked over there, knowing that Sabrina's actions were going to get her hurt.
Before he knew what he was doing, he was already standing in front of her.
He had recognized her the first time he saw her at the cemetery but because of her actions back then, he maintained a distance and acted unfriendly towards her. He had watched videos of her work and had wanted to get in touch with her so that she could voice in his movie that he wanted to produce but seeing how Sabrina was in person. He had doubts.
Vincent came back to his senses when his phone started ringing. He answered it right away.
''What is it?'' He asked over the phone.
''This is the first time you've meddled into another person's business and it's a woman. Not just any woman, but Sabrina Van. Vince, you saved the beauty.'' Kai chuckled. This was the first time his cousin bothered to meddle into another person's business and it was a woman. Kai knew Vincent very well and knew how well Vincent avoided women in the entertainment industry.
''Goodnight!'' Vincent hung up and didn't bother to pick up the phone when Kai called again.
Tia walked out and tapped Sabrina on the shoulder. ''What are you looking at? He's gone already.''
''Huh?'' Sabrina sighed and came back to her senses.
''Darling, how do you know Mr. Maraj?'' Tia gave Sabrina a curious look.
''I didn't know he was a CEO. We met by chance a few days ago at the cemetery. What's the name of his company?'' Sabrina replied with an innocent expression.
''Let's go. I'll tell you everything when we get home.''
''Right, Bia is still waiting for us.'' Sabrina and Tia started walking towards the road. They were unaware of a paparazzi hiding at a corner taking photos of them. The paparazzi had already taken photos of Sabrina and Vincent earlier on.
…..
Luna Estates-Beverly hills.
''Vincent Maraj is the CEO of Tyme Magazine. Tyme Magazine is a multimillion-dollar company which was founded singlehandedly by Vincent at the age of 24 years. They've being around for a while now and have made a breakthrough in the entertainment industry.''
Tia handed Sabrina a glass of wine and sat next to her on the couch. They were both wearing similar pajamas. They clack their glasses against each other and sipped the wine while chatting.
''In short, Vincent Maraj is millionaire and has life going on well for him.'' Sabrina sighed.
''Not just a millionaire, but he is in a different league of his own. Normal people like us can't get through to him. I've been trying to meet him for a while now but it hasn't been successful.'' Tia twined her glass.
''Why would you want to meet him?''
''He is planning to set up a studio under Tyme Magazine and wants to invest in a few movies. I heard he is looking into a few voice actresses. I wanted to meet him and discuss a potential collaboration.''
''Darling, I want to get close to Vincent Maraj. No! I need to get close to him at all cost.'' Sabrina was determined.
Tia furrowed her brows. ''Why?''
''I might need get more evidence to prove my hypothesis but I am willing to do so.'' Sabrina placed the glass of wine on the table and turned to face Tia. ''Darling, I think Vincent might be the one.''
