★★★★★★★
Geez he’s allergic to fish, I glance at him then glance at the pie
“ Dian…” I called as I move closer to him, he hold my shirt ti-ghtly as he gasp for air
“ D…..Dr…..Dru……Drug” He stuttered as he point at the drawer
I hastily stand and rush to his table, I open the first drawer and saw files, I open the second drawer and saw files, I open the third drawer and saw a white nylon, I open the nylon and saw a syringe with a small bottle
“ Duckling is this drug?” I asked and he just open his mouth slightly gasping for air
I rush to the side and open the syringe I open the small bottle and withdraw the drug, I inject his hand and his gasping reduce
He close his eyes and open it back, he bring out the syringe and throw it on my body
“ Get out…” He said icily as he stand slowly
“ Duckling I swear I did not know that there’s fish in the pie”
Why am I explaining myself??
“ Just leave, use the door” He said icily as he sit on his office chair
“ It was a mistake”
“ Get out…” He snapped and I scoff
“ Do you think it was intentional, if I want to kill you do you think I will save you, I just save your life and you can’t even appreciate it” I yelled!
“ I never asked you to save my life” He said
“ You were gasping for air, acting like someone that’s gonna die in the next five minute”
“ You caused it, I know your existence is a mistake” Dian said
“ What!!!”
“ Get out” He said coldly as he unknot his tie, he open the first two bu-tton of his shirt as he press the keyboard
“ I regret saving you” I said and walk out of his office, I walk over to the elevator, I press the bu-tton and the door open,,,,,I enter the elevator and press the last bu-tton and the door close
That ungrateful duckling
I should have just let him die like that
Sh**t I hate him
He’s annoying and I can’t stand his attitude
The elevator door open and I step out, I climb the stairs and open a door, I find myself in the rooftop
“ That crazy ba**ard” I scream in frustration as I breathe heavily
“ Why are you shouting?” I heard a familiar voice and slowly glance around to see Rory at the far end holding a coffee cu-p as he stare at me
“ Rory…”
“ Dian made you angry right??” He asked and I nod
“ He’s annoying, I can’t stand his character”
“ That’s his attitude so ba-re with him,,,, what did he do to you?” He asked
“ I bought a pie for him not knowing that there’s fish inside the pie and he’s allergic to fish”
“ How’s he now?? Is he okay now??” He asked
“ He’s fine now”
“ Sally I know you can’t stand his attitude but please ba-re with him and anytime he make you just let me know” Rory said
“ What are you gonna do?”
“ I’m gonna change your mood from angry mode to happy mode” He replied and I chuckled
“ See I did it” He added
“ I don’t wanna burden you”
“ Sally it’s not a burden, I just want you to stay by his side and protect him” He said
“ Is he sick??” I asked and he twitch his li-p
“ You’re gonna know soon” He replied as he walk over to my side and drop the coffee cu-p in my hand
“ Rory….”
“ Drink the coffee and let’s talk later, maybe during lunch if he rele-ase you” He said
Rory what are you trying to say???, You want me to stay close to ba**ard that detest my existence
Dian I hate you.
Dian pov
“ I regret saving you” Sally said as she walk out of the office
“ Dian she’s saying trash” I muttered as I glance at the syringe that’s on the floor
I stand and take the syringe and the bottle then dispose it
Crazy bit-ch
My phone start ringing and I check the id, Raegan and I pick the call
“ What do you want??”
“ Try to be polite for once” Raegan said and I rolled my eyeballs as I sit on the chair
“ What do you want, I’m busy”
“ We nee-d to talk, I’m in your company” He said
“ Where exactly?”
“ Elevator” He replied
“ I will be waiting for you” I said and cut the call, I drop the phone on the table and adjust my tie,,,,,I take the landline and call her
No response, where’s she???
I stand as I open the door and saw Raegan standing in front of me smiling
“ Are you expecting me?” He said smiling
“ Wildest dream” I said as I stretch my ne-ck, her seat is empty
That crazy girl, where’s she now???
“ Are you looking for someone?” Raegan asked
“ It’s nothing important, what do you wanna tell me”
He enter the office and I went sit on the office chair staring at him
Raegan glance around as he take off his mask, he gently sit on the couch and cross his leg
I check out his outfit, he’s wearing a black baggy trouser with a baggy top and a bucket hat, a white canvas-s to complete the dress
“ Do you nee-d anything?”
“ Not really, I just come to say Hi” He said and I rolled my eyeballs
“ You were saying something yesterday about Izzy”
He chuckled and fold his lower li-p in, “ Forget what I said yesterday” He said and I nod
“ How’s your career?”
“ I’m planning to make a comeback but I gat no inspiration” He said
“ Hire a songwriter to help you out”
“ Nah I don’t want that but I know I’m gonna have that inspiration soon” Raegan said
“ What’s the concept?”
“ A love song” He replied and I nod
“ Will you sponsor my music?” He asked
“ You’re rich so why should I sponsor you, I don’t really know anything about entertainment”
“ But you’re richer than me” Raegan said
“ I’m not gonna sponsor any music”
“ Stingy man” He said and I chuckled
“ How’s your new apartment?”
“ Pretty good to reveal myself without people jumping on me” He replied
“ Celebrity life is stressful, no privacy”
“ You’re also a celebrity so don’t complain” He said
I pick the landline and call her “ Come in”
“ Your secretary?” Raegan asked
“ Yes so hide your face cause she’s a maniac”
He hastily wear his mask as the office door open revealing Sally face
She enter the office fully and bow at me then bow at Raegan
“ You called for me” He said
“ This are my schedule, meet Tiago he’s gonna help you out and get ready we have a meeting to attend” I said as I bring out a paper and give it to her
She collect the paper then nod and I glance at Raegan, I caught him staring at Sally
His eyes are fixed on her, he glance at me then resume staring at her
“ The meeting is by 12pm”
“ Okay whatever” She said and I raise my eyebrow
“ What did you just say??”
“ You see duckling, I wanna resign” She said and I glance at Raegan
“ Why will you wanna quit when he just employ you” Raegan said and Sally glance at him
“ Duckling who’s he??” Sally asked
“ A friend and,,,,,,, I’m not gonna accept your resignation letter so don’t bother to submit it”
“ Hey duckling!” She snapped
“ Use the door and watch the time”
“ I swear I hate you” She muttered as she turn around
“ Lovin’ me is a waste of time so just keep hating me cause if you love me, it’s gonna be a one sided love”
“ Stop dreaming I can never love a duckling, you’re to ugly geez” She said and walk out
Reagan take off his mask and smile as he stare at the door
“ She’s cute” He muttered
“ Are you falling for her already?”
“ Not yet but she’s fun to be with, she’s showing her true attitude and not faking it like some people” He said
“ Why does it sound as if you’re insulting someone that I know”
“ Dian I have to go” He said as he stand and wear the mask
“ Get yourself busy with your comeback”
“ I think I have see my new inspiration, this is gonna be interesting” Raegan said as he walk out
This dude is getting weird daily
Raegan can never complete his sentence, his last sentence are always half words leaving you alone to solve for the remaining words as if you’re solving a puzzle
I sigh as I take my phone and call Izzy, she’s not picking my call, I call her again and she’s not picking
What’s wrong???
I drop my phone on the table and resume working on the project, I nee-d to finish this project before 12pm
Sally pov
I walk out of his office and sit on the chair, I exhale de-eply and grit my teeth
“ That crazy bastard” I muttered
His office door and I tilt my ne-ck to see the mask guy, he step out of his office and wave his hand at me
“ You’re Sally right??” He asked and I nod
“ Do you know me?”
“ Not at all, have fun” He said and walk out
Weird, I stare at his back view then glance at his office door
The landline start ringing and I pick the call “ Come in”
I drop the landline and enter his office, I saw him working on his computer
“ You called for me”
“ The A4 papers is ready so go and get it in the 10th floor” He said
“ How many box?”
He glance at me “ Bring five” He replied and I glance at the pie that’s on his table
“ You’re not still not gonna appreciate it”
“ Are you expecting me to tell an as-sas-sin thank you for saving my life when she plan to kill me” He said coldly and I scoff
“ Ungrateful duckling”
“ New name everyday, crazy girl” Dian said and I scoff
“ I nee-d to tame this rudeness” I said as I take the pie box and walk out of his office, I drop the box on the table and walk over to the elevator side
I saw Chamina coming out from the office wearing a fashion eyeglas-s with her hair packed up in a ponytail
She wore a creamy long pa-nt that’s free with a white shirt tucked in, the sleeves is rolled up with the first two bu-ttons of the shirt unbu-ttoned
I press the elevator bu-tton and the elevator door open and I enter the elevator
The door was about to close when I saw a lady heels, the door open and I saw Chamina
She enter the elevator and I press the 10th bu-tton, it brou-ght out a word “ Identity card”
“ What’s this bullshit”
“ Put your id card there” chamina said and I glance at her
I put my id card on it and it write recognize, I press the bu-tton and it work
“ The 10th floor have a lot of restrictions, not everyone that’s allowed to go there” Chamina said
“ Why??”
“ A lot of important docu-ments are there, the docu-ments worth billions” She replied
“ In this airline”
“ What are you expecting” She said and I glance at her
“ Thank you”
The elevator door open and I step out “ Let’s have lunch together” I said
“ No I’m busy” She replied and the elevator door close
Sally you shouldn’t have ask her
I glance around and saw a man wheeling a box, he was about to walk past me when I block his way
“ Young lady” He called
“ Dian Singh sent me here”
“ Are you sure?” He asked and I nod
“ I’m sure”
“ Why will he send a lady to this place” He muttered as he walk past me and I follow him
We enter a room and I saw different type of box, he drop a box on my hand and I almost lose my balance
“ Why is this box heavy?”
“ ba-re with it” He said
“ Can I borrow that wheel?”
“ No he wants you to carry it with your two hands” He replied and I wide-ned my eyes
“ What!!”
He drop the second box and my back rest on the door immediately, he drop three more box and I could see anything
I stagger to the elevator side “ Can you help me out” I said lowly
“ Sorry” I heard the elevator door opening, the door open and I rest my back at the bu-tton side then glance at it
I move closer to the bu-tton and use one of my finger to press the bu-tton
The door slowly close and I rest my back on the wall , damn it I hate him
The box is damn heavy, the elevator door made a sound before it open
I stagger out of the elevator and stagger inside his office
“ Get out and knock” He said and I could feel my body exploding in anger
I stagger of his office and hit his office door with my kneecap “ Come in”
That duckling
I stagger into his office and the box fall on the floor, it made a loud noise and he glance at me
“ Maniac I hate noise”
“ You hate noise and you ordered me to carry five heavy box, why are you heartless” I yelled!
“ Who told you I have a heart before, don’t you know me” He said icily
“ I think I have know you now, Dian Singh a cold monster that doesn’t care about people”
“ Wrong, I care about people but it’s just few, you’re not part of them” He said
“ Who are the few, who told you I want you to care about me”
“ Why do you wanna know the people I care about” Dian said and I fold my li-p in
“ What do I expect, a monster will always be a monster”
“ Arrange the box and get out” He said
I arrange the box next to photocopy machine and stand upright hitting the back of my wai-st
“ I’m done” He stand as he knot his tie and wear his blazer
“ Let’s go for the meeting” He said and walk out
“ I hate you”
“ I can hear you clearly” I heard his voice and rolled my eyeballs
* GALAX ENTERTAINMENT BUILDING *
Raegan walk over to the parking lot and was about to enter his white car when something catch is attention
He tilt his ne-ck as his eyes get fixed on a black car, he close his car door and walk over to the black car
He gently knock on the window and she glance at him with her mouth slightly open
“ Ra….Raegan” She stuttered
“ Izzy so we can meet again in this kind of situation” Raegan said lowly and Izzy hastily clean her nose and face
Raegan glance at the lady sitting next to Izzy at the back seat, the lady look away and Raegan move backward
Izzy come out from her car and adjust her body hu-g gown that ba-rely reach her knees
“ Raegan what are you doing here?” Izzy asked and Raegan scoff
“ Why are you acting as if you don’t know that we’re in the same entertainment” Raegan replied as he glance around.
“ Sorry about that” Izzy muttered
“ That and this again, have you get rid of it?”
“ Not yet but I’m pregnant” Izzy replied and Raegan chuckled
“ Congratulation why are you telling me”
“ Raegan….” Izzy called
“ Why are you sounding as if we’re having an affair” Raegan said and Izzy bite her lower li-p as she fli-p her hair backward
“ Will you keep your mouth shut this time around”
“ Command or a request which one” Raegan said.
“ A request…” Izzy replied
“ If you want me to keep my mouth shut, I want you to get rid of those drugs,,,,, and that too” Raegan said as he point at her car
“ Raegan I will try to”
“ I won’t interfere when he get to know about this” Raegan said and was about to walk away when Izzy hold his hand
“ Don’t tell him about the baby” Izzy said
“ Why are you doing this??? Why are you hurting him?? Is it now a crime to love a girl?, Izzy why are you doing this to him” Raegan half yelled! And Izzy slowly let go of his hand
“ Why are you yelling??, stop acting as if you don’t love me, you want me before but Dian was fas-ter than you, Dian shoot his shot before you could think of doing something” Izzy whispered as she wear a fierce face keeping a straight eyes contact with Raegan
“ Izzy I regret lovin’you, loving you was the biggest mistake I have ever make, I dated Emma thinking I will feel better instead it get worse, there’s no difference between the both of you” Raegan shouted!
“ We’re different, I’m not a cheater like her and Raegan I know you still have this little love for me” Izzy said as she touch his che-st and Raegan hold her wrist
“ That was before and now I can’t betray Dian because of you” Raegan said
“ We shall see about that” Izzy said
“ Ivanka will do the talking” Raegan said as he walk away
He enter his car and drive out, Izzy stare at his car and scream
“ Threat left and right” Izzy muttered
