? MICHELLE ?
“Hello Michelle,Wow you’re so early” Jenna said greeting me.
“I didn’t have much to do at home, where’s Mandy?” I asked.
“Mandy is not yet here but I’m sure she must be on her way by now. you can go inside her chambers and wait for her” she said and I nodded.
I opened the door and walked in then sat infront of her makeup table. I picked up the paper on the table of which seem to be a newspaper.
I looked at it very clear full and found out it was an engagement contract paper and not a newspaper.
I dropped it back on the table immediately the door opened, Jenna walked in from the door, tries to pick it up but I stopped her.
“What’s this engagement contract? ” I asked and she explained everything to me and walk out with the contract.
“So Ronnie engaged by a contract of which he’s to benefit from” I thought as I remained sitting and waiting for Mandy.
After a while I heard them both talking infront of the door and I walked out and meet only Ronnie. Mandy had gone to use the restroom.
“We nee-d to talk” I said calling him into her chambers.
“Tell me, what’s it? ” he asked trying to sit down but I stopped him.
“Ronnie how cloud you do such a thing, don’t you know it cloud ruin her acting career ” I said breathing out heavily.
“What are you talking about, I don’t un-derstand you? ” he said still wanting to sit down.
“Are you so involved into business that you even had to sign an engagement contract with Mandy ” I said spliting everything out and he looked surprise.
“Did Jenna tell you about this? ” he asked pointing a finger at me.
“You don’t nee-d to know who told me just answer me” I said but he brou-ght out his phone.
“Hello Henry, Contact Jenna and warn her that if any other persons knows about the engagement contract she will be in trouble with me” he dropped the call immediately after said this words.
“What’s wrong? ” I asked as he looked confused.
“You weren’t supposed to know about this contract. Hope you haven’t told anyone else?” he asked.
“No I just walked in here and meet the contract on the table then I asked Jenna and she explained everything to me” I said and he breath relief.
“Why do you have to sign a contract with her? ” I asked.
“It was because of the situation back then” he responded.
“So that means Mandy doesn’t love, it’s all just a contract?” I asked watching him look regardless.
“What makes you think Momo doesn’t love me now or wouldn’t love me later” he said staring at me.
“What are you still doing here, I thought you left already? ” Mandy break in referring to Ronnie.
“I’ll take my leave now” I said and walked out of the chambers leaving the both of them there.
At one point I’m happy to know they’re just playing around because of the contract and another thing makes me sad.
Ronnie’s last words seems not to leave my mind as I felt I have a chance to be with Mandy if their contract expires but what if she falls in love with him before then, I possibly wouldn’t let such happen since I now know the truth and also know they both aren’t real couples.
? HENRY ?
Miss Mandy had given me the opportunity to come find Naomi at home as I drove her to work this morning along side with Mr Ronnie.
She asked me to buy some food stuff and also look after Naomi because when she’s typing her script, she cares about nothing.
“Should I knock or wait still she’s about going out? ” I asked myself as I walked around randomly at the door front.
“I think I should knock instead of ringing the door bell” I said trying not to let my nervousness over take me.
I knocked on the door and it immediately opened. I walked in without even being asked to or invited to enter.
Everywhere looked so messes and dirty, things scattered all over the living room.
I looked around and found her lying on the ground with her laptop at a side of the living room.
I quickly dropped the things I was holding and rushed towards her.
“Naomi are you okay ” I asked for fear that she might have fainted.
“Stop, why are you so noise” she mumbled looking so sleepy and didn’t even look at me or notice my presence.
I smiled knowing that she was fine but the house wasn’t in a good shape. I’d looked around the house and then decided to clean it.
I swept the floor, watch the dishes, clean everywhere then went back to check on her.
She had moved away from sleeping on the ground to the couch. I carried her and took her to the room where I dropped her to continue sleeping.
I walked back into the kitchen and started cooking. In less than hours I was done and had served the food on her small round table.
I went out to get something and got back only to find her eating with her hands.
“Waiter, what type of a restaurant is this that doesn’t provide spoon to it’s consumer? ” she asked not lifting up her head.
I quickly gave her a spoon and watched her eat the food. I chuckled on seeing how she ate. she lifted up her head and looked at me.
“What are your doing here? ” she asked surprise to see me.
“The door was open so I came in” I said as she stood to her feet.
“That’s normal ” she said and sat back down.
“How’s the food?” I asked smiling and hopping she says it something good about my meal.
“It’s good and delicious ” she said just then seem to choke.
She quickly runs away into the bathroom, leaving me waiting and wandering If what had happened was because of the food.
“Naomi are you okay? ” I asked immediately she walked out of the bathroom.
“I’m fine ” she said seating down on the couch.
“It’s always good to eat even if you’re busy ” I said refusing to her not taking care of herself because of work.
“Henry, there is this character in my script, she’s pregnant, what do you think she should do? ” she asked.
“Unwanted pregnancy? ” I asked and she nodded.
“She should tell the man about it” I said and she nodded.
“Actually If I had a daughter, I’ll buy her so much nice things and if it’s a son, I’ll replace the dress from pink to blue ” I said and she smiled.
“When my sister was pregnant and I found out about it, I knew girls aren’t supposed to be treated badly and hated because of unwanted pregnancy. when I have a wife and children, I’ll love them so much in other not to let then experience what I experience during my childhood ” I said and she just nodded sadly.
“I didn’t know you were so kind and caring ” she said and I smiled.
“But we both don’t have feelings for each other ” she mumbled touching her hair.
“What was that?” I asked.
“I mean the characters don’t have feelings for each other” she said and I nodded.
“Ok I see” I said and she picked up the remaining food on the table.
“I’ll add you more” I said and walked to the kitchen.

? EPISODE EIGHTEEN ?
? RONNIE ?
“Is everything okay with him?” Momo asked as Michelle walked out on us.
“Everything is fine, why not worry about me” I said taking her hands.
“I’m traveling to France, won’t you miss me? ” I asked smiling.
“Why should I miss you, when you’re done with your business there, you’ll return ” she said smiling.
“So how about we finished what we had started yesterday? ” I asked moving closer.
“Ronnie stop, You’ve got a plane to catch” she said rushing out of my arms.
“Miss Mandy, it’s time ” someone said from outside as I held her from behind.
“Let me go, I’ve got to go and work now” she said and I rele-ase her.
“Don’t forget to catch your plane” she said walking out of the room and I chuckled.
I’ve got to go to France to meet with one of the shareholders so as to get back my position in the company and also to remove Kendall.
? MANDY ROSE ?
I rushed out of the room as fast as I cloud. I stopped and arranged my dress then walked to the site where we were to be acting.
Michelle was already seated and the makeup artists was doing her work.
He turned and looked at me without saying a word as I sat on the next available sit.
Even after I sat down he didn’t say anything.
“Michelle are you okay?” I asked noticing some changes. He will usually be the one to first talk to me whenever we meet.
“I’m fine” he said and smiled at me. The smile seems just to be for a little while as he changed back to his recent mode.
“Has Ronnie left already? ” he asked after some minutes of silence between we two.
“Yes, he should be on his way to the airport by now ” I said with a smile.
“Airport?. Is he travelling out of the country? ” he asked surprised to hear it from me.
“Yes, he’s going for a business trip” I said and he nodded.
“So you are not worried about him leaving you ? ” he asked.
“Why should I be worried, he’s going for a business. There’s no nee-d to be worried, he would come back ” I said and the makeup artists left us both.
“You won’t miss him? ” he asked.
“Michelle, are you okay. Why are you asking me all this questions? ” I asked not feeling quite comfortable with his questions.
“Okay, I’ll stop” he said and faced his mirror.
“Why should I even miss him? ” I mumbled looking at myself on my mirror.
“Mandy, will you be free tomorrow? ” he asked.
“Yes, what’s up?” I asked and he turned towards my direction.
“A friend of mine is holding an exhibition and I want to invite you to go with me” he said and I nodded.
“If Michelle wants me to go then I wouldn’t reject. I’ll go to repay you for the help you gave me” I said and he smiled.
“What help? ” he asked not un-derstand what I meant.
“I know you recommended me to this movie drama” I said and he smiled.
“You and Ronnie…. he was about asking and I cut him short knowing what he was about asking.
“Don’t you worry, Ronnie is right at France, he wouldn’t get to know” I said smiling.
“No what I meant to ask is that you and Ronnie….?” he said but got cut off half by his as-sistant.
“Boss the direction wants to see you” his as-sistant said and he nodded.
“Okay, let go” he said and they both walked out to see the director.
The day had slowly gone by, we were done with the scene for the day and I had returned home for the night.
I lied on my bed thinking about what Ronnie had pleased with me to do.
He had said that “I should move to his house in other for him to be able to protect me from Kendall”.
“What if I move to his house” I thought aloud.
I picked up my phone to see if he had texted me but there was no mas-sage from him.
Whenever he was here, he would text me “good morning and even goodnight” but it seems…
“What am I even thinking about, it’s just a contract and I devoted my true feelings into it” I said looking at my phone once more.
I took my phone again and this time I dailed Naomi’s number. She picked up after I dailed the number for the second time.
“Naomi, why didn’t you pick up the phone the first time I called you? ” I asked.
“I’m sorry, I was busy writing” she pleaded. Her and writing, she can’t even take somedays off without touching her laptop.
“I want you to go shopping with me tomorrow ” I said smiling.
“Okay, I’ll join you ” she said and I placed my phone on the side of the bed after ending the call.
I arranged my pillow and lied my head on it and trying not to think to much about Ronnie .
? JENNA ?
“Mr Ronnie and Mandy, contract is confidential, miss Jenna you shouldn’t let anyone find out about this again” I chuckled immediately I read the mas-sage of warning from Mr Ronnie
“Jenna” someone shouted my name after I had escorted Mandy out of the company and she had left.
I looked around and saw Kendall waving at me.
I walked towards him wandering why he had called me.
“What do you want?” I asked reaching his car and where he stood waiting for me.
“Cloud we grab a drink while we talk” he suggested.
“I’m sorry but I don’t think I know you that well ” I said not agreeing to his request.
“But I think I found something about Ronnie and Mandy you may be interested in seeing” he said smiling mysteriously.
“What’s that? ” I asked but he just kept smiling at me.
“I don’t know why it’s so hot outside” he said moving into his car.
In no time I entered his car and he drove to the nearest restaurant.
“For how long have you been an artist manager? ” he asked.
“It been close to Three years since I became Mandy’s manger, Although it’s a working relationship, we un-derstand and trust each other ” I said and he nodded.
“Take a look at this ” he said handing me a docu-ment as we both sat inside the restaurant.
I collected it from him and opened the docu-ment. The first thing my eyes met with was Mandy’s picture.
“What else?” I asked and he pointed at another docu-ment which was on the table.
“Jenna, you seem surprised seeing it right. I myself was surprised when I saw it for the first time. Like I had said, Ronnie isn’t as upright as we all thought” he said winking his fingers on the table.
“I’m only responsible for for my artist Mandy” I said and he chuckled.
“Then you shouldn’t let her get hurt” he said letting me see the other docu-ment.
“Thank you” I said as I collected it from him and opened it.
“You’re welcome ” he said watching me open up the file.
“It’s not so simple, I haven’t figured out how to go about it, cloud you not tell Mandy about it” I pleaded with him.
“Okay, I’ll keep it a secret” he said and I nodded.
“I have something to do, I’ll take my leave now” I said and he nodded.
I picked up the two files and walk away with them.
To be continued.
