★DON’T CROSS THE LINE★
The elevator door opened when it reached the ground floor and the printers who’re waiting to use the elevator came to view.
“Boss!” They all shouted at a time, seeing Romeo who’s unconscious on top of Juliet.
“Help…call an…. ambulance…fast!” Juliet said quickly.
An ambulance was contacted and Romeo was rushed to the hospital.
“We should follow him, we can’t let him be alone in the hospital” Lovelyn said.
“Of course” Juliet replied.
“If we’re to follow him, that won’t include you” Rhonda said.
“Why won’t I?” Juliet replied.
“We can’t leave the office empty, it’s an order from me as your senior intern, stay in the office, is that clear?’ Rhonda glared.
Juliet kept quiet as Lovelyn left the floor with Rhonda.
“I nee-d to know if he’s ok too” she muttered worriedly.

BULLET NEWS
The news of Megan’s death took over the streets and reporters are busy gathering the required information to fill the people’s screen.
No wound was found on her body but autopsy revealed that the coffee she took last night was poisoned, a large deposit of poison was found in the coffee cu-p.
The maid who served the coffee disappeared into thin air and hasn’t been found.
Merritt got down from the station bus with three other reporters, they’re just coming from Megan’s place where they gathered news from.
She was going into the station when she bumping into someone, she doesn’t nee-d to look up before knowing who it is so she sighed.
“You again?” She said, looking up at him, it’s really him.
Mr Pink li-ps.
“Hey” he smiled and she smi-rked.
“You’re a stalker right?, Are you stalking me on purpose?” She said, sweeping her hair back with her right palm.
“You’re pretty” he replied and Merritt blinked.
“So I nee-ded to start a conversation with you and I didn’t know how, that’s why I started with bumping into you” he said simply.
“So… you’ve been intensionally pouring my coffee away?” Merritt glared.
“I’m sorry if it got you angry but I had no other means, and I’m…
“Forget it, Here’s your card, I didn’t spend a dime” she took his hand and placed the card on it.
“But I…
“I have a lot of work to do right now” she said and started going in but he held her back by touching her arm.
“We can be friends at least…. right?” He asked.
“You’re a stubborn one… Cool” she replied and got her phone, she dialled the cops line.
“There’s a stalker here and I nee-d to get him arrested, just come to bullet news station” she said but he didn’t bother to run.
“You aren’t gonna run?” She said surprisingly.
“Seriously you’re pretty, i wanna continue staring at you like this,till the cops will come” he replied.
“Maybe I should have called a psychiatrist instead” Merritt muttered.
“Merritt what the hell are you doing out there!, We nee-d to start compiling the articles right now!” Kent yelled from the balcony.
“Coming boss!” Merritt yelled back.
“Merritt, your name sounds Se-xy like you” he smiled.
“You won’t be able to tell Se-xy apart from messy when the cops get you” Merritt replied.
The police car stopped beside them immediately and two cops came out.
“Here he is” Merritt pointed at him.
“Can I at least have your number?, Please” he said as he was taken into the police car.
Merritt shook her head.
“Please!” He shouted.
Merritt started walking in without replying, smiling as she walked.
She tou-ched her forehead and winced.
“That animal” she said to herself and went in completely.

HOSPITAL
Romeo is still unconscious on the bed though the doctor @$$ured that he’ll wake up soon.
Lovelyn and Rhonda are the only ones with him, his family and friends has been contacted.
“He even looks Se-xy while unconscious, he’s so perfect” Rhonda smiled lustfully.
“You have a boyfriend… right?” Lovelyn replied and Rhonda rolled eyes.
Michelin rushed in.
“Romeo!” She gasped, seeing him unconscious in bed.
She rushed to him and sat beside him
“Romeo please wake up for me, Romeo” she said like a wife will say to her unconscious husband.
Lovelyn exchanged glances with Rhonda and Michelin suddenly faced them.
“Get out, you both” she ordered.
“But….we nee-d to stay…” Rhonda said.
“Out!’ Michelin shouted and they both rushed out of the ward fearfully.
“Romeo I told you to let me stay beside you and heal your wounds, I told you to let me stay” she said, ru-b-bing his face gently.
“I’ll never let any other bi-tch stay near you, I won’t allow any other girl beside you Romeo, you can only have me, only me” she smiled, bending over him.
She kizzed his li-ps gently and ru-bbed it afterwards.
“I love you so much baby, please wake up soon, for me” she smiled, wanting to kizz him again but Baby came in.
“Michelin!” Baby shouted, making her stand.
“Baby” she smiled to cover up.
Baby dropped the bouquet of flowers with him on the bed beside Romeo and faced her.
“I thought this ended” he said in disappointment.
“What do you mean?” Michelin replied.
“Romeo!!” Naomi said loudly, coming in.
Baby grabbed Michelin’s arm and took her out of the ward.
“Where are you guys… going?” Naomi asked but she was ignored.
“Am I missing something?” She thought, walking to Romeo.
“je-rk, you nee-d to wake up soon” she smiled, watching him.
Baby got to the end of the hallway with Michelin and stopped, she freed herself from him.
“What!” She shouted.
“Are you still in love with Romeo?” Baby asked seriously.
“Isn’t it obvious?” She replied without blinking.
“What!”
“Yes I’m madly in love with Romeo, I love him!” She shouted.
“You can’t love him Michelin!, You can’t!, We’ve all been friends since highschool, we started together from the scratch as the ti-ghtest friends, why are you trying so much to ruin that friendship?” He replied.
“You’re not me Baby, I’m Michelin Anderson and you’re di-ckson Gilbert!, Our lives are different and we have a thick line between us, stop trying to dictate for me” she said in a warning tone .
“Romeo gets hurt easily and you know that, he’s weak but he’s always pretending to be a ha-rd guy, you know all these Michelin! Don’t do anything to hurt him because if you do, I won’t let it slide” he said in a warning tone too.
“Love doesn’t hurt, I’m just in love with him” Michelin replied and started leaving.
“There’s a thick line between love and lust” he said and she stopped.
She waited for a while before leaving completely.
Baby hit his fist on the wall in frustration.
BACK IN THE WARD
“Romeo!” Mona rushed in, throwing her bag on the ground when she saw him unconscious.
Naomi smiled as she came in fully, sitting beside Romeo.
She held his hands and started ru-b-bing it sadly.
“A doctor attended to him already” Naomi said.
“I was in surgery, that’s why I couldn’t come immediately” Mona replied, hu-gging Romeo on the bed.
“I un-derstand, he’ll be fine, you know he’s strong” Naomi said.
“Blatant lie, he’s the weakest of the weakest, how did it happen this time?” Mona asked.
“Like Juliet said, he heard about Megan’s death and the shock made him get into the elevator when he was coming to confirm” Ben replied, walking in.
“Was he close with Megan?” Mona asked.
“They just finished shooting LOVE RAIN and it’ll be out next month, and they were supposed to start shooting another movie too next month” Ben replied.
“It’s worth the shock” Mona replied.
“You know how much Romeo hates her right?, Isn’t it toxic to make her sit beside him?” Michelin said, coming in.
“What are you saying?, She’s his stepmother and she has every right to sit beside him” Naomi said.
Michelin rolled eyes at Mona.
“A murderer shouldn’t be allowed to sit beside our Romeo, don’t you think?” She said.
“Michelin!” Naomi shouted.
“Romeo!” Justus came in immediately.
“And now another murderer” Michelin said silently.
“Will he be ok?, Is he fine mum?” He asked quickly.
“You know he’ll be fine, stop fidgeting” Mona replied and Justus inhaled.
“Dad insisted on coming despite his health condition, but I declined, he told me to video call when I get here” he said, getting his phone.
He made the call and was about to position the camera on Romeo’s face when Michelin held his hand.
“What?” He asked.
“Romeo hates that man too, making him see Romeo on the sickbed is not making sense” she replied.
“Let go of that hand right now” Baby said, coming into the ward.
“But…
“Let it go…now!” Baby ordered.
Michelin did that reluctantly and took her bag before storming out of the ward.
Thiago went sad when he saw Romeo’s unconscious face on screen.
“Mona, he’ll be ok right?” He asked worriedly.
“Of course, I’ll take care of him with everything I have” she replied and Thiago smiled.
“Who brou-ght flowers?” Naomi said, picking the bouquet of flowers.
“I did” Baby replied and she giggled.
“When I called you, I said Romeo p@$$ed out, I didn’t say he p@$$ed away” she said.
“He loves flowers so I thought maybe it’ll make him wake sooner” Baby replied.

COPS STATION
“Stalking a young lady is a crime in case you don’t know, you might be charged to court” the cop in front of Reid said.
He has been with them for thirty minutes.
“What are you gonna do to me now?” He asked.
“We’ll have to keep you in detention for tweeny four hours if she doesn’t call for your release” the cop replied.
An hefty looking guy in suit came rushing in.
“Your highn…..
“Stop” Reid interrupted him.
“Officer, if you know who he is, you won’t keep him here” he said.
“Peter, I told you to stop talking” Reid replied.
“But I’ll be in trouble if the queen finds out…
“If you say one more word, you’re fired, how about that?” Reid smiled and Peter held his li-ps.
The cop received a call from Merritt, ordering his release.
“You can go” he said after dropping the call.
Reid stood.
“But with a warning, you must not be found stalking her anymore, un-derstood?” The cop said.
“Very well” Reid smiled and left the place with Peter.
Peter is the closest to him among his bodyguards.
“Who the hell has the nerves to arrest the great prince of treasure castle” Peter said.
“My starlight” Reid smiled, remembering Merritt’s face.
“Starlight?” Peter replied.
“You won’t un-derstand, let’s go back to the castle but I’m sneaking out tommorow again, i guess I’m gonna get arrested tommorow too” Reid smiled, getting in the car.
“But Maria is back, she came after you left in the morning” Peter said.
“What!”

JEWELL BOOKS
Lovelyn and Rhonda came back in the afternoon and Juliet surprisingly can’t be found in the office.
“Did she go home?, That slimy thing” Rhonda said.
Lovelyn peeped into Romeo’s office and saw Juliet there.
She’s sitting on his chair, working on his laptop.
“What are you doing!” Lovelyn said shockingly.
“The board of editors nee-ded to review the soft copy of the summary before the presentation, boss hasn’t finished writing the summary so I’m helping with it” Juliet replied.
“But he hates when people touch his things, he’ll get mad at you!” Lovelyn said.
“I don’t care, I’m just helping,when he gets better he’ll just have to present straight without having to worry about the summary, he can shout at me or hurt me again, I’m used to it” Juliet replied and Lovelyn sighed.
“I should have known you’ll never listen” she said and Juliet laughed before clic-king send.
She stood and left the office with Lovelyn but immediately they got out, the elevator door opened, revealing Ben and another man.
He’s a man but he’s dressed like a lady, wearing red heels and red skirt on a female suit, he’s wearing make-up and his li-pstick is red too.
His nails were perfectly manicured and he’s walking like a lady too.
“Mr Sugar!!!” They all shouted at once.
He’s a popular crossdresser who’s well known for his craziness, he’s a scriptwriter .
“Meet Mr Sugar Rhys, he’ll be in charge of tutoring you guys whenever boss isn’t around” Ben introduced.
Sugar puckered his red li-ps and made a pose before walking stylishly round the office, his flat @$$looking funny in the skirt.
“Like you all know, I’m Sugar, sweet Sugar, I hate tardiness and I detest it when you’re too quick-witted, in fact, I love coolheaded people because people say I’m crazy and you know it won’t be nice if crazy meets crazy, this company might just crumble, I love troubles too, I’m an amb@$$ador of trouble, it’s in the Guinness book of record” he said, unwrapping a lolli-pop which he inse-rted into his mouth afterwards.
He removed it after lic-king for a while and it made a pop sound.
“Ok!!!” He shouted.
“Yes sir!” They all replied.
“You didn’t say that loud” he said, walking to Juliet.
“It was loud enough” Juliet replied and he smiled.
“I think we’ll be having problems, me and you, you have this fearless face which I don’t like, I nee-d to plant fear on your face” he said, glaring at her while pointing his lolli-pop at her face.
Juliet started glaring back till Lovelyn tapped her.
“Let’s meet again tommorow, I nee-d to clock out right now” he said and catwalked out of the office.
Lovelyn and Rhonda released heavy breaths.
Juliet laughed out loud, surprising them.
“His flat @$$though, I’m meeting him for the first time and I already like him, and if I like people at first I’ll end up hating them, so I already know where all these will end, I’ll call him Mr Salt instead, or Mr Flour, I love creating new names gosh!” Juliet laughed again, carrying her bag.
“This place will get messy as from tommorow” Lovelyn shook her head.

HOSPITAL≈5PM
Juliet opened the door to Romeo’s ward and peeped in first to make sure no one is in.
When she’s sure, she went in and closed the door.
“He’s still unconscious” she said sadly, remembering how he screamed mum in tears before fainting the other time.
“I hope you wake up soon boss, be strong” she said, looking at his face.
“He looks like a baby” she whispered and smiled and remembered when he caught her eavesdropping, how he held her shoulders and yelled at her.
“How dare you eavesdrop!, What did you hear!, How dare you!” Juliet shouted, mimicking his tone.
Then when she splashed water on him repeatedly.
“Who the Fu-ck are you to do this to me!, who the hell!” She shouted, mimicking him again.
She started laughing loudly after saying that, she had to cover her mouth so it won’t get out.
“He’s a kid, total kid” she said remembering when he covered her with the jacket and umbrella in the rain.
She smiled cutely.
Then when she remembered how she pulled down his trousers mistakenly.
“Gosh!, Juliet you should be crucified!, Fu-ck!” She laughed so loud and started feeling like peeing.
She was still laughing when she rushed out of the ward.
Romeo opened his eyes slowly and smiled lightly, he has actually been listening.
Michelin sighted Juliet when she was entering the restroom and she let an evil sm-irk cover her face as she followed her.
Juliet just finished easing herself and she was cleaning up when Michelin came in.
“Monkey” she said.
So far her name isn’t monkey, Juliet didn’t bother to look back.
“I’m Fu-cking talking to you!” Michelin yelled, for-cefully grabbing her shoulder.
She pushed her and Juliet fell on the sink bowl, hurting her arm.
“Ah!” She let out an hurtful moa-n.
“You should learn how to stay away from my man” Michelin glared devilishly.
“Why the hell would you push me when I don’t even know you!” Juliet shouted, breathing heavily.
“How dare you shout at me!” Michelin said angrily and raised her long manicured nails to Juliet’s eyes, wanting to shove them into her eyes.
An hand grabbed her hand from behind and she gasped, recognizing that touch.
“Romeo!” she gasped, facing him.
He’s holding an expression on his face this time. Anger.
“Boss” Juliet said surprisingly.
“Romeo” Michelin said again.
“Don’t cross the line” he warned, throwing off her hand.
“What are you talking abou…
“Don’t dare touch my intern” he interrupted.
