The Shadow Man AUDITION: PART I
Jacob and Leslie were on their way home. Both of them waited for a taxi outside the hotel. Coincidentally, Joe Black and Jessica's family were coming out as well. "Oh, Mr. Wayne, should we give you a lift home?" Joe Black said as he saw the man standing outside, whilst they waited for a ride. "No need." Jacob replied as a taxi stopped at that same moment right in front of them. Leslie hesitated to look back and greet them as she didn't want to look at the ugly face of Jessica all glaring at her. What's more, her family was with her and she didn't want more eyes on her as she felt suffocated already earlier. Both of them got inside the taxi as they left without any word. Leaving the Blake couple to have a few words to say about what happened. "That b*stard, doesn't he know how to greet his elder at else." Chairman Blake exploded in anger, seeing how arrogant the boy had been after he left their family. He had lost so much today as he didn’t get any good words out at all. He wanted
The Shadow Man AUDITION: PART II
10 AM A lot of ladies were out in the hallway waiting for their turn. As a man walked out of the door and made the announcement that the audition would soon start. A few ladies were all pale, worried for what was to come. "Leslie, are you alright?" Manager Jean asked, noticing the girl's soul seemed to have left her body. Seeing how the girl looked, she looked even more worried. The more she worried, the more she cursed the man who put them in such a situation. "I'm fine." She replied nothing more to say as she was too nervous at that moment. Manager Jean sighs, giving up all hope. It was far too impossible for the girl to get the role the President asked of them. She had been stressing these past few days and had been barging in the president's office, asking the man of what he was thinking. Yet, the man would only reply to her: The higher up request of it. So, what can she do but obediently agree as she was an employee and is in need of work. As the girls were all anxiously wa
The Shadow Man AUDITION: PART III
Producer Copper opened the bag and was shocked to see the money; he right away questioned the man but was interrupted. "Did President Gordon come and see you too?" He asked of him before the man could even ask him. "What, President Gordon?" Producer Copper was confused. He then somehow understood where the money came from seeing the man asked of him if the man went to see him as well. "No, he didn't. So, this money, it came from him." "Yes." He shortly answered as he grabbed a bottle of whiskey for him and the man. He poured a small glass out and drank it right away; afterwards, instead of giving the man next to him a drink, he drank the second one right away as he had been stressed all day. "He didn't ask much. Just that, I should know what to do." "Then, what should you do?" He asked as he then took a drink and drank it in one go. Despite he doesn’t particularly like whiskey, since they were so rich at this moment. He could just go to the hospital to care of his health anytime so
The Shadow Man CONGRATULATION: PART I
After the audition, Leslie returned to the company with Manager Jean. The two of them discuss the event that just happened. Both of them have dark cloud over them as they already expected the worst. “Leslie, don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be able to get another role.” Manager Jean tried to cheer the girl up. In the first place, it wasn’t the girl’s fault that she couldn’t get the role. At least, they tried there best. During the time they practice together she saw how much talent the girl has. But, what can they do when the role they wanted to take was already pre-decided for. “Manager Jean, like I said, I know my limit. We already knew from the start that I can never get the role. Plus, the role was already decided to be Jessica. Frankly, I don’t know what the higher ups are thinking. But at least we can show them that we tried our best.” Leslie said optimistically and with a bright smile. Manager Jean no longer worried. The girl was as bright and cheerful like she normally was. She
The Shadow Man CONGRATULATION: PART II
James was surprised to see his brother waiting inside his office. The fact the nurse mentioned he was not feeling well made him run right away. When he arrived at the office door, he was covered with a small layer of sweat on his forehead. 'I must be dreaming, what the hell is going on? Why is he here? He looks perfectly fine to me. Could it be, did he? I don't feel too good about the idea he is here; it could only mean one thing…' James anxiously walked over to greet the man, but before he could even open his mouth, the man stared at him and spoke. "What took you so long?" Jacob said without even caring if the man had some work to do. His case was far such a rare thing and needed checking right away. "I've been here for more than five minutes." James wanted to say a word or two, but didn't; he only clenched his hand into a ball and buried his annoyance from his brother’s words. He closed his eyes for a moment to calm down. If the man wasn’t his brother, he would have kicked him out
The Shadow Man CONGRATULATION: PART III
Jacob returned to the apartment and noticed a strange parcel outside their door. He became curious as to what could be inside. He walked over to check the parcel and noticed nothing was written on it. There was no information at all about whom the parcel was for or who it came from. "Ah, your back?" Leslie said as she opened the door, all dressed up. She was carrying her coat when she opened the door. "Where are you going?" Jacob asked, wondering why she looked anxious and, in a hurry, to go out. He thought for a moment if something had happened. Since he was with his brother, his brother didn’t mention anything about the woman’s son being in any danger. So, he wonders more as to what could be causing her to be this worried. "You didn't answer my call and I was worried where you were. I texted Dr. Miller and he messaged me that you came to visit him." She replied as the corner of her eyes then noticed the parcel on the floor. "What's that?" Before she could touch it, Jacob grabbed
The Shadow Man BLACK CARD: PART I
Early the next day, Leslie decided to take up some exercise lessons from Jacob. As she had witnessed how fit the man was, she thought getting a personal trainer was useless as the man right in front of him was the perfect guy. She had a full tracksuit on and had just finished tying her hair when she heard the man calling out for her.Outside, Jacob was already stretching. He started warming up his body to prevent himself from getting sore later. He had a hard time wondering what exercise he should do with the girl, as she is currently known for being pregnant."Jacob, did I kept you waiting?" She said all in sweat already from running all the way from their apartment. "I'm sorry, I was...""It's fine, don't run like that. Remember..." He said as he touched the girl's belly reminding him of her situation. "Be careful, someone is watching me. I'm not sure if they but a tail on you."Jessica nodded and whispered back, "I think I noticed a strange man before in my home one time. He had a

It's a simple job however, I'll be away for a while, and will you be fine?" Jacob said.Leslie who was looking outside the bus, turned right away to look at the man surprised by what he had just mentioned. She felt bitterly upset that he needed to go; however, as soon as the contract between them ends, the man does need to make a living for himself. "Hmm, that would be fine. How long will you be gone?""Don't worry, it won't be long. Maybe a week or so, I'll be back before you know it." He smiled back at her and patted her in the head to comfort her. The way he treated the girl as if she were his dog. So obedient and always longs for him."Okay, but be careful, okay?" She replied, looking like a baby pouting on her lips, sad that he needed to go.Once they arrived at the man, they went to the department store right

But before they could look and check, someone came knocking at their door. "Sir, we're sorry to bother you. But, you see…" The manager paused as pulled a man over to present to them.
