47.At work, Macy had been given a two day's off then Cassy happened and she took more days off to stay with Mel. She had overstayed her off while the others continued working.She was lucky that the investor insisted on having her in the movie.When she resumed, she had a lot of work pending.The director had shot other scenes and hers were remaining and she was thus working day after day morning to evening. It was like binge watching a series for days.This is having in mind that she was the second lead and she had a lot of scenes.Thus, she had gone for almost a week without seeing Mel. Not that she wanted to but the situation waranted it.When Richard got home that evening, he found a sulking Mel at the living room.Nurse Lin was trying to talk to her asking her to eat something.She wasn't saying anything. She just sat there at the corner of the couch just pouting.Anyone could see that she was sulking.Richard was worried for a while because it wasn't like Mel to behave that way
48.Macy stood there disoriented for a while.She didn't know whether she was still dreaming or this was real.She had been very exhausted of late because of shooting scenes after scene from morning to evening.She thus fell in bed immediately after getting to her suite.Never in her wildest dreams did she think that Richard would show up in her house in all his glory."Oh, baby, is it really you?" Macy asked Melvin in a croaky sleepy voice."Did we wake you?" The deep masculine voice asked."Oh, please come in," Macy said coming to.She now realized that this wasn't a dream.Richard and Mel went inside the room as the girls who had come out of a room from the further end of the corridor were standing there looking at that hunk who was carrying a child.They didn't see the owner of the suite as she didn't get out.Macy, after opening the door, stood just before the threshold."Who was that and whose suite is that?" Richard, who had a hearing like a hawk's sight, heard them discussing
49.Macy overslept.She could have sworn that she had set her alarm as always for five o'clock.She did her exercises and morning run for an hour and then came back to take breakfast and get ready and May would pick her up at exactly twenty minutes past seven.They would be at the studio thirty minutes to twenty minutes to time.But this day, she didn't even go for her morning run.She woke up and she realized that it was brighter in the room than it usually was when she woke up.She sat up in bed and tried to remember the events of last night and what day today was.It was....Wait...Richard and Mel...Where are they? She wondered.Then it clicked."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I'm late.. The director is going to chew me alive," Macy thought as she shot out of bed.It was at that moment when she was throwing clothes here and there from her closet looking for something to wear did the bedroom door open."Auntie, you are awake? Good morning?" Mel greeted as she picked the clothed Macy had thrown
50."What will you wear today? Or should we call nurse Lin to send someone to bring you two some clothes over?" Macy asked as they ate breakfast."Daddy already brought clothes for us," Mel said as she rolled bacon on her sausage."What are you doing?" Macy asked her as she watched Mel with amusement as she struggled with her small hands."Auntie, have you ever tried wrapping your sausage in bacon? It's delicious. Try this," Mel said as she gave Macy the one she had already wrapped to bite.Macy did and she thought she would lie to Mel but it was actually delicious."Mmm... this is actually good," she said as she ate.Thet ate in a happy harmonious mood while talking about this and that and for the first time in a long time, Richard felt the warmth of family.He was getting used to having Macy around and he was scared. He was scared that he was getting way too attached as he had promised himself that he wouldn't.After Cassandra, Richard had decided to focus on being a President to hi
51.There was tension and excitement all over the room as people waited.They even started betting on what kind of a person would walk in and Macy had to kiss."What if it's a waiter?" one asked."A waiter would be okay," another answered."But I'm thinking, what if it's a beggar?Imagine someone who never brushes their teeth and is dirty and smelly," another joked as she laughed loudly."I would rather kiss my fellow girl than a beggar," a girl that was in the support casts said with a look of disgust. "You are an idiot. This is a five star hotel.What would a beggar be doing here?Do you even think the guards at the main entrance would allow such a person in?" Another countered."It was just a thought," she defended herself."What if the director comes back?Will Macy be able to do it?" Another asked and there was another uproar on the implications of what would happen if that happened."She woukd be lucky to kiss such a person. I go for a waiter or a waitress," the discussion cont
52.Today, Richard had driven an Audi. For all the times Macy had been into Richard's mansion, she had never been to the garage.This was because there was always someone to bring the car over whenever she wanted to go anywhere and there was no need to thus go to the garage.She such didn't know how many cars Richard owned but by the look of it, there must be several.Macy wanted to get into the back seat but she realized that the car only had one door.To get to the back seat, one had to lift the gunshot seat and Macy didn't know how.May opened the front door of the vehicle and crouched to talk to Richard."Boss, could you take care of Macy tonight? I have somewhere to be, please?" May asked and Macy wondered why she needed to be taken care of and she almost spoke but heard Richard's monotone grunt as he accepted May's request."Thank you boss," May said as she stood back up and smiled at Macy."See you on Monday for the photo shoots of the second promotional poster.Take care of yo
53.Macy was just sitting on the bar stool minding her own business and planning on her mind what to tell Richard or how to get out of their lives when she heard a commotion.She turned and saw several girls dressed like wanna be socialites walking towards the bar."Barman, give us the most expensive wine you have," one of them said and Macy lost interest in them.She was here to think and not even such unlearned girls would take her mind off that.The bartender produced a bottle of wine and gave the ladies and gave them some wine glasses."I thought that this club served only high class people.When did they start allowing cheap whores in?" The girl who had asked for the wine asked again.Macy was the target but she didn't hear what the girl had asked because her mind was on other 'more important' things. When they didn't get any reaction from Macy, they were happy and since she wasn't concentrating on them, they wondered how to go about it.They left for upstairs again and Macy ask
54."Just promise me that after you see what I can do you will leave her alone," Jesse screamed but Richard just smiled without saying anything."Okay, bartender, fill up everyone with whatever it is they are taking and put it on my tab," Jesse said angrily trying to prove to Richard that he had money."Beauty, men like him hide in suits and have nothing.Come to me and I will give you money," Jesse told Macy who just smiled at him without saying anything."Do we really have to do this? Just let him go," Macy tried talking to Richard but Richard wouldn't have it."He insulted and disrespected you first.Let him pay for it," Richard said.If it was him whom Jesse had disrespected, Richard would have thought of letting it go. But this was Macy.He wasn't about to let it go just like that."Is that all?" Richard asked."How much is it?" Richard asked the bartender."Three thousand one hundred and eighty cents," the bartender said and Richard scoffed."Why are you scoffing, can you do tha
