Jared met a new girl who came for an audition at Coopers Entertainment and promised her a role in the new blockbuster as long as she allowed him to have her, but now he had just received the most humiliating call of his career saying that he had been reduced to an extra. This movie was meant to make him more famous and helped increase his wealth, he has been the star of Coopers Entertainment for two years now and never did he imagine that he could be rethrown at a time like this when he needed this lead role more than ever. But for him, nothing was certain, because he has Jessica who is a member of the Board at Coopers Entertainment and will do anything for him due to the excessive love she has for him. He slid out of the bed with his breath rising and falling rapidly, as he tucked his trousers as quickly as he could. “What are you doing, we haven't even started yet”“I am sorry sweetheart, but I think that we will have to do this some other time”“What about the role that you pro
The large office at Coopers Entertainment was filled with sophisticated yet relaxing lights with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. The floors were polished wood while the walls were polished with white soft color. Lucas sat behind the desk on the large swivelling armchair that was made of luxurious leather. A light knock came through the door and Fabian stepped in dressed in a black classic suit that hung around his firm chest properly. “How did it Go?” Lucas, who had his eyes on the door anxiously asked as soon as he stepped in. The shooting of the movie was meant to start in two days, he had promised the board members at the company that he was going to get Mr. Hugo to be the director of the movie, that way it was bound to increase its ratings from viewers. But up until now, Lucas wasn't certain how he was going to do it. “I sent word to his Secretary because they claimed that he wasn't available, but I do not think we will be getting any response soon”“Why do you t
Madam Jane felt like her heart had been struck badly by a pretty bee, although they had gladly relinquished the post of the CEO to Lucas, they felt that he was incapable of handling such a post, once he could fund this project for them, they would immediately get rid of him. For everyone at Coopers Entertainment, Lucas did prove how inexperienced he was when he chose Mr. Hugo for this movie, although he was the best choice of director, he was beyond their grasp, a man who vowed never to have any dealings with the Coopers. But somehow he is here, he came with just a word from Lucas and yet they could not comprehend how he was able to do it. As Tristan, Madam Jane and Sean stood there, fear immediately got hold of them feeling a cold shiver in their spine. The thought that the one they had underrated might become a pin in their ass. “Mr. Hugo! Thanks for honoring our invitation” Fabian, who was filled with so much excitement that he thought his heart was going to explode, walked up
Lydia strode over to where they both stood, she held her head high up like she owned the entire world with a stern expression on her face. “Lucas hi… If you are here to see me, then I am sorry because I haven't changed my mind about…. ”“You do not have to worry, I came for Sheila and not you” He cut short her words before she could say more and turned his attention to Sheila again. “The lunch you were talking about, do you have somewhere in mind?”“Yeah, sure, let go” Sheila was excited that he was finally giving her some attention even in the face of Lydia. They both strode out of there accompanied by Julian as Lydia gritted her teeth so hard that it began to hurt. The entire day has been bad to the extent that Lucas who has always adored and worshipped her also looked down on her. She clasped her bag firmly like it was the cause of her problem and hurried over to the car with her manager Kelly tagging behind. “Don't you have a car yet, I mean you have been in the industry for a
Jessica pressed her lips into thin lines, she was having mixed emotions, one was that she was excited that someone cared for her more than her man did and then she was furious wondering what it was that Jared was into. She gulped the last cocktail down her throat, picked up her car key and scurried out of there furiously. The address written there was a hotel room, the same hotel room that Lucas had gone to for delivery when he met his wife with another man that prompted a divorce, this was their favourite hotel because Jared was friends with the manager and that way it was easy to gain access. Jessica kept staring at the numbers on each door, but the number was not on the first and second floor, so she had to use the star instead of the elevator, that way she didn't miss anything. The first door on the third floor was exactly what she was looking for so she knocked on the door. She kept knocking again but there was no reply except for the loud moaning of two opposite genders insi
After yesterday's scene, Lydia was furious, she had high expectations for this movie, especially Jared who had promised her heaven and earth. She called him several times but when he finally picked up, all he said was “Meet me at the usual location” His voice was husky and filled with rage, he hadn't gotten over the humiliation that he received on set, and at the sight of Jessica and Lucas. Lydia got dressed as soon as the call ended and drove her car down to the hotel. Jared was pacing around the room when she got in, he unfurled the door as soon as the first knock came through. “Jared, what is happening? How is Jessica to you? How was she saying you are cheating on her with me? I had never been humiliated the way I was yesterday, one was on a movie set, second was with Jessica. And again when are we going to get married? I'm tired of this secret relationship” 'How many questions do you want me to answer at a time? I will start from the end", he said while brushing his
Lucas walked into the Office at Afreco Entertainment industry, with an entire level of confidence, his designer suit perfectly tailored to suit his physique, he wore a golden mask around his face that gave him a glister of mystery. He strode in with an effortless grace exuding a natural charisma, accompanied by Fabian and two other trusted aides, he had a strong and commanding presence, and everyone at the office bowed at his presence, he shook hands with a few executives at the table before the signing process finally began. Every board member in the company signed their signature approval of the change of ownership of the company and once they were through, they shook hands, pictures were taken before Lucas went ahead to announce to everyone the changes that would be involved. “Thank everyone for taking out time to be here today, especially our journalists who have come to commemorate this event, from today this company will no longer be known as Afreco but ELISE ENTERTAINMENT
After the movie for the day was finally concluded, Sheila was so excited as she chatted and laughed so hard with Julian, she could have sworn that she saw Lucas when she was on the stage but right now, he was nowhere within the location. As she packs up her things ready to leave, Lydia walks up to her, a tight-lipped smile on her face. “You must be feeling on top of the world right now thinking that you have got everything on a platter of gold”“Lydia, I do not know what you want, but I am not ready to have this conversation with you”.Sheila replied and directed her gaze back at the script lying on the chair that she was trying to pick up, but Lydia immediately stopped her, picked up the script and tore it into pieces. Sheila widened her eyes in shock, there was this anger that fueled inside of her as she bit her lips hard, Lydia seeing that she finally got on her nerves was satisfied, and a smirk spread on her lips. “Why are you looking so sad, I thought that you were a star now
“You and scene are 5 and 6, you don't want to be humiliated alone, you drag damsel Sheila into it; what is all these fragrance all about?” Jared berrated.Lydia could not help but snorted when Jared called Sheila a damsel; he knew Jared still had interest in her but was glad that Sheila didn't give him a chance.“Mr. Jared, please do not talk to him in that manner,” Sheila pleaded.“How do you want me to address this address, damsel? He is just nothing but garbage, I regretted ever having anything to do with your ex because he has affected her life with his ill luck, Look at her over there waiting to seduce the CEO; if not, she would have lashed on you.” he Explained “Sheila, do not stop him, let me see how much he is willing to take, I'm sure he will regret every action,” facing Jared, “Do you remember what I told you the first time we met?”He blinked his eyes continuously and asked, “How could I remember what pauper like you told me? You are nothing but trash, so get the hell out
Lucas and Sheila walked in like a newlywed couple.All eyes were on them; some couldn't believe what they saw; the clothes they were wearing were screaming wealth.Lydia rolled her eyes toone side as she saw them and muttered, “Lucas and Drama, who did he want to impress? He wore a fake designer to feel among them.” Two ladies who had attacked Sheila came before them and stopped them from moving forward.“Where do you think you are going? You have heard that the CEO won't make it here today, and you invited your pauper boyfriend to show up with fake designers,” one of the ladies told them.“Stay out of our way,” Sheila warned them, but they refused. “You and your stinky boyfriend should leave this venue now before we disrespect you.”A sly grin escaped from the corner of Lucas' mouth as she watched them rant.“It is obvious that you ladies are tired of working here; you will soon be served your relief of appointments,” Lucas said.“Who is he that will serve us relief from duty?” “Y
Chapter 193Sheila smiled and threatened, "We never had a quarrel, but you chose to fight when I'm peaceful. I will pretend I didn't hear everything you have said. You ladies should walk away because you won't escape if I take it up with you.”“Splendid! Are you threatening us? What can you do?” one of them said, rolling her eyes.“Absolute nothing when you lied that you are the CEO’s wife and you are a snitch who is dating your friend's ex, the useless and pauper man your friend rejected, and you picked it up. Good for you because you like trash. Today will be your last day in this company because we heard the CEO and his wife are coming. We will make sure we tell them how you want to steal this place and claim it as your own,” she smiled sinisterly as she rested her hands on her waist. Sheila wasn't surprised when she mentioned her friend; she knew they might be instigated by Lydia to fight her. Despite their bullying, she smiled and maintained a calm demeanor. She had been warned
“Ma’am, your husband is rich, you wearing the most expensive diamond ring 20 million dollars,”Sheila was not happy with the way these couple were valuing her ring, they spoke in sarcasm that she could not understand, and this got sheila angry she thought they were devaluing her ring and snapped at them, “No matter how much it is, please spare me, allow me to do my hair thank you,”“Ma’am, being our role model, we will like to have picture with you,” the lady asked Sheila sighed heavily, she regretted meeting these people early in the morning. She accepted to take picture with them and the man said she should show her ring in the picture because they could not afford it.Sheila scoffed and sneered,“You can't afford $20 ring and you claim to be rich, what a joke!” The man responded politely,“Not a joke ma, twenty million dollars is not small money, only rich people like you can afford it,”Sheila released her anger and asked in disbelieving tone,“You mean my ring worth twenty million
“Not burning,”“You want to tell me the smoke coming out is heat?” she asked jokingly. “Yeah, it is; I'm a better cook,” he smirked.Yeah, you are.”“Why did you admit so fast?”“No, energy to drag,”“Oh, I see,”Thank you for everything; you paid for the clothes.”Yeah, with the money you gave me.”The money she gave him was one million, and the clothes and jewellery cost fifteen million. “I didn't know how much Kayle paid for the clothes, but I'm sure you can buy your own.”“I will take you to hairstyle tomorrow; I would have brought them home for home service, but I like taking precautions; don't bring strangers to your house.”“You are right, it is quite dangerous, and more so, the house owner would come soon; he might not like many people into his house except people he brought himself,” she admitted. ***Lucas departed for his room after eating dinner with Sheila. He was thinking of what would happen the next day when his phone beeped. John sent him a text about the latest s
Chapter 190The manager who had moved to the reception to arrange chairs for them to sit on before she arrived saw her going back and asking, "I called you for a customer, and you spun, what has come over you?”The lady sneered, “Look at the people you called me for. Do they look like someone who can afford a scarf here? They might probably miss their way,” Pointing out as if she was giving them direction, “Please go to either Harrisos Coutour Extensions, not Executive here, you will be able to pick one or two things there, an ordinary scarf here costs a fortune.”The manager walked to the fashion expert and slapped her. The sound of the slap echoed in the store, the store representative kept her head down. She swirled and tears began to fall from her eyes uncontrollably. She was shocked that the manager could slap her for the low-life customers. She reluctantly took them to the showroom with her hand covering her face where she was slapped. The manager knew she would take reveng
Chapter 189.Sheila felt bad after receiving the news that she had no money in her bank account and that Lucas had not yet gotten new clothes for the celebration tomorrow. She didn't want to feel bad because it would hurt Lucas; instead, she continued her play and fell on the bed. The play was too much for Lucas; he had a lot to do in preparation for tomorrow's premiere. He was waiting for Sheila to announce that she had gotten the money, but she didn't say anything. "Did she keep the news of getting 5 million dollars from him, or had Steve not sent it?" he mumbled under a breathHe wanted to take his phone and ask, but Sheila didn't let him be; she kept laughing and giggling. He didn't want to stop her either because she had been moody for a while on the CEO's wife's matterHer phone beeped but still played. "Stop it!" Lucas exclaimed in a playful tone. “You have a message on your phone.”“I'm not interested in the message; let me off it.” She stood up and took her phone. She op
Chapter 187He thought she was worried about the humiliation she would face that day. He saw her walking to the kite and followed her. He went "Kayle,""I don't have provisions; please go to a nearby store and get me some.""Okay, ma, but I am cooking."Who owns the food? "You, ma, master, said I should prepare it for you.""Don't worry, I will continue it. Tell the driver to take you to the nearest store.""Okay ma,""Kayle met Lucas and told him that Sheila sent her errand."Lucas eyes widened as he saw Sheila card with Kayle and asked,Hope you are not going to the market.""I am going to the mall to get provisions, sir.""Shit, there is no money in that card."Let me inform her.""No, do not. Go and get your card, and I will transfer money to you right away. Are you using the same bank details I have?""Yes, sir,""Okay, go,"Transfer $5,000 to Sheila and tell her from the CEO to prepare for the coming Premiere. Do it exactly after 2 hours. "Okay sir,"Lucas went to the kitchen
Chapter 187She felt another surge of anger as she read the part where it said all the artists would be given awards. She talked loudly and said, "Including the riff raffs, ptf... Elite should hold its stinky award for its dirty people; I don't do with the crowd; anytime it has a standard award, I should be invited." She talked so loudly that her mother could hear where she was, but she was unfazed; she thought Lydia was just talking to get her attention. She wondered where she was. Lydia wanted to drop her phone on the couch again. Her eyes swiftly caught the CEO on the text message, but she could not fathom what the CEO was doing in the message immediately. She instantly took the phone back and read the text message again. Her eyes lit up instantly; her eyes were brimming with joy as she read the CEO part. She thought another chance had come for her, and she had to be smart to take it. She walked to her room to check her poster and her skin. She saw that she had not been taking
