“I'm listening, Miss Norman. What do you have to say?” Mr. Clark jolted her out of her thoughts.With pursed lips, Lara sighed before she began to speak.“Mr. Clark. I'd like to know why Royal productions want to have nothing to do with us any longer. What wrong have we done?" She shook her head vigorously and continued. "I'm asking because I don't remember doing anything wrong to offend anyone. I'm good with everyone and try to mind my business which is to deliver my best on set.”“And the same goes with my fiance here." Mr. Clark was silent for a while. He stared at the couple for a while before sighing deeply.“I um.. I have no answers to your questions. The only person who can give you the answers you seek is the boss.”"You know that I'm just an assistant. I don't have much to say when the boss has spoken. I'm only his employee.”“Then set up a meeting with us and your Boss. We'd like to know what the problem is. What wrong have we done to him?” Lara replied and Kyle agreed wit

Prince caught up with them and blocked the way, stopping them from going into the car.He was there to gloat and they knew it.Kyle tried to force the door open, but Prince held tightly onto it, his eyes fixed on Kyle in a mocking smile.After a few seconds, he turned his gaze to look at Lara with a wicked smirk on his face.Furious, Lara glared back at him and was about to charge but Prince stopped her.“Oh, do you want to hit me? I dare you." He said and shot each of them a cold look.He left their car door and stared at his hands while saying casually. “I bet you guys have not heard about Karma." He shook his head a few times and continued. “Who would have thought that the great Lara Norman and Kyle Sherman would be discarded like trash. Wow! It's really unbelievable.”"If I wasn't present to witness the incident, I might not have believed it. How pathetic." “Get out of my sight now, Prince. I don't want to do something I'll regret." Lara fired at him with bloodshot eyes. She wa

The couple exchanged glances and Lara turned back to him and replied. “Ok, since you already know the reason we're here. I'd like to know what happened.”“Why did you give us a deal and call it off almost immediately without any reason? Is it that you were not sure at first or you made a mistake?”“We didn't make any mistakes." The man replied in a serious tone and Lara could sense arrogance in his tone.What was that supposed to mean?“I don't understand. Were you guys joking with us or what? We're both big time celebrities and you shouldn't mess with us like that." Kyle's voice was already going high but Lara patted him on the laps, calming him down.The man, on the other hand, only stared at Kyle as the latter was raising his voice and bragging about their accomplishments.Well, that was not his problem. He was only following the orders given to him by his Boss.After Kyle was done talking, the man gave them an intense glare before sighing. “Actually, it's my boss who asked me to c

After a moment of silence, Kyle replied to her. “Let's leave this place at once. We'll go to my Manager's office and find out if he was able to get projects for us with the other movie producers.”“This is just a little setback in our lives and I'm sure we'll get past this stage." Lara nodded her head in agreement and Kyle started the car and drove off.Meanwhile, still in the woods, Prince was busy with his work as an errand guy at the movie location. He started that job because he knew that Lara and Kyle would show at the place to find out why they were cut off from Royal productions.While he was running around and making sure that things were going well, he noticed the way Avery and Molly were staring at him.Avery and Molly were still working with his production because he didn't have any reason to cut off all deals with them.It was right that they've flirted with him in the past when he was still married to Lara.Prince was Lara's personal assistant for some time. And while th

Prince did not speak further and decided to swallow the threats he was about to make.There was no point threatening the girls as they'd hear from him if they run their mouths and speak out of turn.Avery and Molly stared back at him in silence with their mouths open.After that, Prince turned around and began to walk away.“Something happened between them. If not, he won't be so defensive.” Avery muttered as soon as Prince was out of sight.“Yeah, that's right. We have to find out what happened between them. There's also something going on between Lara and Kyle and we should find that out as well.” Molly added and they both looked at themselves and nodded.“And when we get any interesting information, we can just sell it to the media." The girls were not sure how to get the information about Lara and Kyle so they decided to follow Prince.They believed that Prince knew something and they intended to find out what he knew.Prince, who had walked away from them, boarded a taxi and was

Prince just stood at a spot and started laughing.“A thief and a fool." He muttered to himself after he stopped laughing.His action got the girls more confused and they wondered what was going on.Why would the taxi driver ditch Prince just like that?Avery stepped forward and inquired. “I hope you haven't paid him already? And if you want, we can drop you off wherever you're going." Avery's offer of help was an excuse to find out where Prince was going. “No, thank you." Prince replied to her. He gave each of them an intense glare for the last time and warned.“Don't you dare follow me again or there will be consequences." With that, he walked out on them and boarded the next taxi he saw.When Prince met up with his friend, George, the latter gave him a confused look before inquiring.“What took you so long? Do you know that I've been waiting for you for more than thirty minutes." "I was being followed by some nosy girls so I had to ditch them before coming here.” Prince replied

The call finally went through and Mr. Patrick answered from the other end of the line.“Hello, Sir. I'm sorry for taking time to answer your call. I was so busy and…”"It's ok.” Prince did not allow him to finish. He already knows how busy the man can be."I just wanted to find out about something.”Prince turned to the direction where the strange man sat but he pretended to be doing something else, pausing the video he was making.Prince turned back to George, completely oblivious of whatever was going on.George, on the other hand, was busy on his phone and didn't notice anything.None of them suspected anything wrong.“What do you want to find out about?" Mr. Patrick inquired."It's about my brother. When was the last time you sent some money to him?”Mr. Patrick remained silent and quickly checked his account book."It's just a few days ago. The day you called me and asked that I send some money to him. Even though he was not due to receive his allowances.” Patrick replied to him.

George pulled over a little distance away from the restaurant and turned to Prince.“It won't be too suspicious if we stop before the restaurant. You won't want your former colleagues to give you a suspicious look.”"Especially when they see you alight from such a car.”George's car was a luxurious one and if Prince's former colleagues saw him in it, they'd raise eyebrows at him and ask questions.He was not ready to answer anybody's question.“Alright, drop me off here and I'll walk the remaining distance." George pulled over by the side of the road and Prince alighted. “See you later." As he zoomed off, Prince started towards the direction of the restaurant and the strange man's car continued to follow him.He got into the restaurant and was greeted by some of his colleagues and they were happy to see him, except for one person.It was his rival during the time he was working at the place as a waiter.Steve never liked Prince because he was regarded as the best staff.A lot of cus

“And you should know something. If you continue like this, you'll find yourself without a job one day. And you might not be able to get another anywhere else.”"Just be careful how you treat people, especially those who have done nothing wrong to you.” Prince concluded. He glared at Steve for a while before walking away.While Prince made his way to the diner hall, Steve remained motionless at a spot.He could not move an inch and kept pondering on Prince's words.He even had to ask himself why he hated Prince. At the end, he got the answer to his own question.There was no reason for the hatred towards him . It's just that Prince was liked by people. Unfortunately, no one notices him at all.After a long pause, Steve rolled his eyes and muttered to himself. “Whatever. You're in no position to render me jobless.”With that thought in mind, he walked away from the lobby and went back to work.Prince got to the dining hall and his eyes caught the strange man stealing glances at him in a

By the time Lara and Kyle came out of his Manager's office, they were completely exhausted and it was almost dusk. All the bad news they'd received that day was already weighing them down.Just like the previous day, it had been bad news and more bad news.Many other producers were no longer willing to work with them. Just like Royal productions, they would no longer be working with them.Everything was happening so fast and they could not comprehend it.If someone was after their careers, then that person must be very powerful.As they got into Kyle's car, they both sat in it totally lost in their thoughts.After a moment of silence, Kyle started the car and began to drive to Midday avenue, Lara's home.“What are we going to do about the situation?" Lara interrupted his train of thoughts. Kyle let out a deep sigh and quickly glanced at her with a long face. “I don't know. We just have to keep trying or we'll soon be forgotten celebrities and our careers, dead." Kyle's voice was co
