Chapter – 165"So... What are we doing today?" Wearing a white off-shoulder white top with patterns in blue and a brown capri, Veronica walked up to Alex. Veronica had just arrived at the location, and the first person she came across was Alex.To be honest, Veronica was hesitant to walk up to him at first. But, following her conversation with Rebecca last night, the curiosity to dig deep into his relationship with Jessica got the better of him. So with her eyes on the task, she walked up to Alex.Meanwhile, Alex was busy going through some random checks on the set. But hearing a familiar voice, he turned to look at Veronica.He stared at her face for a good couple of seconds before he replied, "Of course, we are shooting. What else do you think all these guys are running around for? Now, not every day can be a fun day, can it?" Alex was smiling ear to ear when he joked with her, but it left a touch of sarcasm in Veronica's ears."Ha... Ha... Ha... Very funny," Veronica faked her laug
Chapter - 166"Mr Lulu?" Alex climbed onto the bus, wary and prepared for any unpredictable situation, but found Mr Lulu grumpily sitting there. And scattered in front of him were god knows how many empty cups of ice cream.There were vanity vans arranged for the lead and the supporting cast, along with one for the director Mr Lulu and his daughter. On the other hand, for the staff, tents were erected. The temperature in Thar was more than anything they had experienced, and this was the least they could have done."Alex..." Lily, who was sitting beside her father, got up when she saw Alex coming inside the vanity van, "Is Brad here?" she asked.Alex shook his head in denial to her question, but he tried to justify, "I am sure there are some unavoidable circumstances at play here.""Hmmph..." Mr Lulu scoffed, hearing Alex and throwing the empty cup in his hand, he reached out for another cup of ice cream. This was the only thing keeping him calm and his blood pressure in check."Dad...
Chapter - 167As the door opened, a tall man wearing a blood-red suit stepped out of the car.With his long hair done in a bun, as soon as the man adjusted his jacket and removed his shades, the girls who appeared on the sidelines out of nowhere to get a glimpse of their favourite star went gaga. The shrill and cheers echoed loud enough to deafen a perfectly normal man.Alex did not know when the girls appeared, but he felt that if not stopped early, some nice tops were going to be ripped apart.The man was about a couple of inches shorter than Alex, with a near-perfect jawline and a nice dense stubble. When he saw the huge support for him, a smile bloomed on his face, and the man waved towards the girls who were being pushed back by the security as well as the staff from Theation and 'AR' from breaking the human wall. And it worked like a charm. The recognition from their heartthrob rejuvenated their hopes, strengthening their resolution. Thank god that they had a few capable men to
Chapter - 168While Abir and Rebecca were trying to caution Alex about Brad. Brad was standing in front of Veronica with a wry smile on his face."... I had hoped that you would come to the party I threw last month," putting down his arms, Brad changed the topic after he was denied the hug, "You know how many of them were there only to see you? They were left disheartened in the end.""Just to please a few, I didn't want to cause a misunderstanding with your wife," Veronica said with a sly smile on her face. For everyone looking from afar, it would seem like a pleasant exchange. But in reality, Veronica was just polishing her sword."Aha... Why would my wife misunderstand anything?" Brad toned down his voice and said, looking around to make sure no one heard Veronica, "She is such a big fan of your works. In fact, she was the one who invited you. After all, you are her favourite.""Oh, that's a change," Veronica crossed her over her chest as she raised her eyebrow in surprise, "Becaus
Chapter - 169"Excuse me," Martha asked out loud. She was confused, looking at the uninvited and unfamiliar face that had barged in. Also, Martha was not alone. A lady sat in front of Martha. Maybe, she was there for consultation."Oh, sure," Audrey nodded and then turned towards the lady, "Do you mind? The doctor has just asked you to excuse us."The lady, confused by how fast things progressed, stood up, obeying Audrey on the spur of the moment."Hey, sit back," but Martha was not fazed in the slightest. She asked the lady to sit back before turning back towards Audrey, "You are interrupting us, young lady." Martha calmly and indirectly asked Audrey to leave."But I am in pain," Audrey said softly, as gently as one could, unlike her usual smug self when she conversed with Turtle or the other guy named Johnny. Her tone was that of a spoiled little girl who has been wronged after being sheltered and pampered all her life."Still, you can't just barge in like that," this time, even Mar
Chapter - 170"Is this for real?" Alex slumped back into his chair and asked, rubbing his temples hard. There was visible frustration and exhaustion on his face."I told you not to go after him. But you were so adamant," Rebecca walked in from behind and handed him over a can, "Here, drink it.""You never told me the reason," Alex took the can and said, putting the onus on Rebecca."As if you would have listened to me," Rebecca was not angry this time. Instead, she felt a certain degree of pity for him. Today was only the second day into the schedule, and Alex was already like a dog, running around like a spot boy. After all, Brad won't just take anybody to run his errands.But what was hilarious was that Veronica went on with the flow. While Brad made Alex run a hundred errands, Veronica did have her pretty good share among them. As she won't just ask directly for Alex to do something when a small gesture of hers can make Brad torment Alex. She exploited the situation very cleverly.
Chapter - 171"You know what? These past few days. Working with all of you. These were the best days of my life in a long, long time. I forgot all the problems in my life," A drunk Brad poured his heart out in front of everyone at the table."This was the best project that I have worked on," Brad lightly slapped the table and said, "And it is all because of Veronica. My sweet little cutie, cutie Veronica." Brad twisted his body to look towards Veronica, who sat on his left, with Abir in between."I have long since god knows when wished to work with Veronica once, at least, once. But never did the opportunity present itself in front of me. I was beginning to lose hope," Brad scanned everyone's face, looking disappointed, but in a flash, there was a smile on his face, "But at last... I finally got what I wished for, and I was not disappointed. Veronica, you were so accommodating that I can't thank you enough. Thank you, Veronica... Thank you." Brad said and tried to reach out and grab V
Chapter - 172"Excuse me, Umm... What now?" Alex could not believe the asshole wanted him to be a simp without any shame and hesitation."Oh... Don't act all surprised. Look at your face... It looks like someone has asked to borrow some used underwear of your mom... Chill man, chill," Brad put his hand over Alex's shoulder and laughed. And seriously, in that very moment, Alex wanted to break every single tooth in his mouth. That laugh was doing nothing but cringing him out."... Look, brother," Brad did not care what Alex was thinking, "I will be honest with you. There is not a single guy I know who is not craving to taste that delicious body of hers. But so far, no one has been able to. But there is another interesting fact you need to know." Brad said as his voice toned down a bit."... Not a single one of the chicks I have laid my eyes on has ever escaped my clutches. And believe me, I don't want to break that record of mine," Brad whispered the last part, but soon, he was loud aga
