Scarlett looked around, and came closer to LX who was wearing a hu-ge soft sweatshirt.
He wore a long black trousers, over sneakers.
He had a brown beanie on his head, over a white mask face.
“Here” He raised an arm and Scarlett walked fas-ter.
“LX,,, What are you doing here?” She whispered.
“You wanna get caught?” She futher asked.
“I’m…sorry. I just came over because I kinda missed you” He for-ced a nervous chuckle and Scarlett sighed dee-ply.
“You should have called or face timed. Besides, doing this is dangerous. What if someone sees us? What if a paparazzi followed you?” She asked, worriedly.
“Don’t worry, I wasn’t followed. I’m fine” LX said. written by sommy pearl f.
“And thats what you keep saying”
“Possibly, that’s all we say. We tell them, we are fine,,, when surely, we aren’t” LX said, and she blinked her eyes.
“Do you mind taking a stroll with me, then come back to your gate?” LX asked.
“No,,, Thats a bad idea” She shook her head.
“And I ain’t leaving till you say Yes”
“Oh goodness, okay then” She said, and LX smiled.
“Let’s go” He muttered.
***
“So, this is the end, right?” Scarlett asked.
“Yes” LX nodded.
“So,, this is where we say goodbye”
LX simply nodded.
“Wait,,, Scarlett”He stopped her from turning.
“Yes?” She questioned.
“About what I said then… Can’t I ever get a chance to be with you. I’m really serious” He muttered.
Scarlett blinked.
“I’m sorry, LX but its still a No, we can’t be together. We certainly don’t…fit”
“That isn’t a smart reason. Just because, I’m an idol and you’re a mere secretary?” He scoffed.
“Its so hilarious. I ain’t gonna back off, till you give me a better reason” He said, and finally walked away.
“Geez, What possessed him now?” Scarlett thought before entering inside.
***
“Dammit! I didn’t even answer Phil’s messages” She breathed dee-ply and took her phone. written by sommy pearl f.
She went into the chatting app, and cli-cked Phil’s chat room.
*Scarlett?*
*You there??*
*You’re aren’t replying…*
*Hello, Anyone there?*
*Fu-ck. You’re offline now*
*Come online now,okay?*
*What are you doing now?*
*Seems you’re freaking busy*
*Should I call?*
*Hey!!! I hope you aren’t dead there?!”
Scarlett laughed and shook her head.
“Gosh, He has all the time in the whole universe”
*Just came online* Scarlett se-nt.
*Fu-ck. My heart went out for a moment. Where were you?* Phil’s reply didn’t even take 3 seconds.
*Just out*
*Doing?*
*You ask lots of questions. Don’t be too worried. I’m fine*
*Hmm, That’s good to hear. So, what is your wish?* He asked.
*Can you make LX the model for the new product we are gonna launch in Paris. We only have tomorrow*
*Fu-ck!! LX??!!!*
*Yup*
*Sh!t, Certainly, not LX!*
*Please*~in-serts a 50 crying emoji*
*Okay…I will. You really know how to handle me, don’t you?*
*You know too well* ~in-serts a smiley face emoji~
THE NEXT DAY**
SILICON ARTISTE ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY**
“LX!!” Mr Davis screamed, and stood on his feet.
His eyes was on his phone.
LX who was pla-ying a noisy game faced him.
“What’s it?” He asked.
His face wasn’t that innocent and cute anymore. He had this cold and hazy look, which still made him handsome. More handsome and se-xier, precisely.
“They just messaged me!” Davis smiled, and looked at him.
“And I wish I un-derstand” LX rolled his eyes, and continued with his game.
“RM companies just messaged me, saying you’re their newest model for their upcoming product launching first in Paris”
When LX heard this, his fin-gers stopped controlling the game, and he failed, despite almost being at 97%.
He was about to win, but the news caught him off guard.
*GAME OVER* was written boldly with red and a very bond font on his android screen, as if to ridicule him for his sudden defeat after p@$$ing a lot of rounds.
“Aren’t you gonna talk? You aren’t happy? Besides, You always begged Phil for this,,,Its a wish come tr-
“I ain’t doing it” LX said, coldly.
“Wh…at?” Davis stammered.
LX took his icy gaze to him.
“I said I ain’t doing it. Go tell those RM companies, LX declines!” He said, before storming out, wearing his mask, which he took from his pocket.
“What’s going on now? What’s happening to him? LX!!!” Davis called loudly but he was out.
***
“What? Why? You aren’t doing it?” Phil asked, over the phone.
“Yes” LX sounded sharp.
“Why not? You wanted this”
“Yes,,, but that was in the past”
“Come on. Do this for me. We are siblings”
“Cousins” LX corrected.
“Yeah,, yeah,, all the same. Anyways, I’m begging,,, Just do this for me”
“I won’t”
“For the sake of Scarlett who recommend you” Phil said, rushly.
“What?”
“Scarlett asked for you to be the model. We all nee-d you in Paris, huh?”
There was a de-ep silence.
“LX? You still there?”
“Is she coming too?” LX finally asked.
“Why not?” Phil replied.
“Okay then. We have a deal. se-nd in the contract so that I can sign”
“Thanks a mi-
*Beep*
“Geez, He ended the call. That was so rude” Phil pouted.
“And I’m more rude for saving your number as Parasite” Phil shook his head, and edited LX contact.
He saved it as LX bro.
***
There was a meeting in the hu-ge hall and everyone took their seats.
Phil was already standing on the podium with his mic attached around his ear, which was directed to his mouth.
“Hope all employers are here?” He asked.
There was a striking silence.
Phil scanned the eyes before him and raised his brows briefly.
Scarlett was standing at the edge of the curtains, almost by his side, while Oscar was behind him standing close to the curtains.
There was a hu-ge screen occu-pying the middle pa-rt of the curtain.
Felicia sat in front, wanting to watch him from up close.
She sparked in anger whenever her eyes mistakenly fell on Scarlett.
“Even her face alone irks me” She muttered un-der her breath.
“So,,, everyone… I welcome y’all” Phil started and there was a roar of clapping hands.
He cleared his throat and Scarlett quickly tapped few bu-ttons on the computer’s keyboard facing her.
The screen on the curtains showed brightly and boldly;
BAZAAR PROJECT LAUNCHES AT PARIS…
with a logo of a opened palms, and lots of sparkles shapes as toppings.
? Whoa!!!!
Everyone shouted and clapped.
“Yes sure, at last” Phil smiled.
“So,,, today, I’ll be calling the names those who will be pa-rtaking in the trip cause this business is serious. I wouldn’t want a slightest mistakes. I hate failures”
“We have Felicia Kinks, from the marketing depa-rtment? Is she around?” Phil asked, taking his eyes up from the hu-ge IPad.
“Here sir” Felicia raised her arm and smiled.
Phil quickly took his gaze away and Felicia scoffed.
“Bruce Innocent from the strategy commity depa-rtment?”
“Yeah” Brume, a young lad raised his arm.
“And,, Isaac Lawrence from the information science depa-rtment”
“Yeah sir” A man in his last 30s raised his arm.
Phil smiled.
“Good. Please, be prepared against tomorrow. A chauffeur will personally convey us to the airport for take off. Also, my best secretary and awesome guard will be tagging along as it really involves them. Got that!”
?Yes sir!! Everyone roared. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“So, any questions before we dismiss?” Phil asked.
“Yes sir” A feminine voice chipped.
Everyone looked. It was Felicia.
“Yes, Miss Felicia?” Phil asked.
Felicia stood up with a smile.
“Sir, What was the main reason for the change in location? Cause,,, I really prefer the states”
Phil scoffed.
“Then, go there yourself”
Everyone laughed.
“Dismissed!” Phil said.
“Away!!!” Everyone shouted, and they all stood up, leaving whilst making sounds, with their mouths and plastic chairs.
“The Fu-ck” Felicia almost screamed.
She was furious and was breathing heavily.
D-DAY, AIRPORT**
“Why isn’t he coming! Have you called him, Scarlett?” Phil asked.
“Yes,,, but he isn’t picking” Scarlett replied.
“Sh!t,, LX…Come on! We have 15 minutes to our flight!” Phil gr-unted.
“Waiting for me” A manly voice said.
They all turned around to see LX walking slowly towards them, dragging his luggage gently, behind him.
He was wearing a crazy but rich looking jean trousers, which nee-ded no belt since it was firm.
He wore a fendi creamed colored top, and wore a crazy jean jacket over it.
He had his sungl@$$es on, with no mask.
As usual, many fans were shouting, but he was protected by his guards and his manager.
He stood after getting at them.
“LX, Why are you la-
“Hope, I ain’t late, Miss Scarlett?” LX cut Phil off, and pulled Scarlett bo-dy towards his, by throwing his long arm around her shoulder.
Scarlett wide-ned her eyes in shock. She couldn’t make any utterances.
“What are you doing?” Phil asked trying to come closer but Felicia quickly blocked him, by bending down.
Scarlett looked up to face tall LX.
He took away his sungl@$$es, expo-sing his cold but se-xy face. He even wore a bright eye liner.
Instead of his usual one earring he wore on his right ear, he wore one on each ear, a cross earring and an ‘O’ shaped ear cli-p on the upper side of his left ear.
His li-ps brightened and glowed.
“Hello” He smiled daringly and many pictures shots and videos were taken.
“Hey!” Phil screamed.
LX looked at him.
“What?” He asked coldly.
Phil swallowed ha-rd seeing eyes on him.
“…Our Flight. We’re gonna be late”
“Okay,, Let’s go, Scarlett” LX said, and held her hand walking with her.
Phil arched his brows in anger and thoughts.
“Let go, sir” Felicia smiled.
Phil nodded and they walked away, with the fans still screaming at the top of their lungs.
“Wait!!! I’m not late, am I?” Someone shouted from behind.
Phil wide-ned his eyes in surprise.
“Is that…Trina!”
