I’m Dedicated To You

Olivia was busy stuffing her head with the feast she ordered and reimbursed with my card and she doesn’t seem to care about what I am saying.

“Ollie are you even listening to me”I screamed and she jolted in fear because of my scream.

“Gina, you need to calm down, you are scaring me”.

“I just explained an ordeal that can shorten my lifespan if you don’t see anything bad in that”.

“Wow take it easy, it’s not like all that you did is forbidden between two people that have marriage in mind, “Olivia says and I regretted ever calling her out and telling her my problems.

“Ollie did you even care about your friend”.

“Of course, I care about you but I know Mr. Hale cares about you more so, you don’t have to worry about anything,” she says and I know she doesn’t have anything she wanted to say so, so I just decided to leave and take care of my hangover

“If you are done, Ollie , you can go home. I will be leaving first, “I say, picking up my bag and standing up.

“If you ask me Gina I don’t think your drunken mistake is the problem here but you are worrying about something else that you are still in denial of so, I hope you can accept whatever you are feeling so you won’t be calling me out and bombarding me with questions in front of this beautiful feast”.

“Goodbye Ollie,” I say without replying to her. I should have asked Victoria out instead, I thought.

“What does she think she knows?”I muttered while leaving the table we were using but I immediately bumped into someone.

“I am so sorry sir I didn’t mean to bump into you” I apologized.

“No it’s fine but your voice sounds familiar, have we met before, “the man asked, scrutinizing me with his eyes. I adjusted my mask, shaking my head that I didn’t know him, so I quickly left the restaurant apologizing to the young man again.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“It’s been a long time Gina,” the man Gina bumped into says looking at Gina and walking away with an unreadable expression on his face.

*********************************

The week went by quickly and today is the day I am shooting my ad campaign for Dali beauty but even though I am already getting swamped with work I still don’t feel any excitement. It’s like something is just missing or should I say someone is missing.

“GG you should have this Manager Janice says you should take a look at this project and that if you have an interest in it that she is going to hijack it for you”Kira reported beaming with a smile.

“Are you that happy that I am already getting swamped with work”? I asked Kira because she just started working as my assistant 2 days ago.

“Of course who won’t be happy that their boss is getting recognized but I was a little scared back then when the scandal broke out,” she says. I also thought back at that time and I can’t help but be grateful to Bradley and his name makes me get lost in thought.

“GG GG “Kira called me and I immediately jolted out my thoughts and I asked her what she was calling me for.

“You have been lost in thought recently, I hope you are fine?” she asked in a worried tone and I just smiled at her because even though I also doesn’t know how it was happening, the gray-eyed man always had a way to creep into my thoughts.

“I am fine, “I say but I also know I am reassuring myself.

“I hope you will do this project”.

“Why is that?”I asked.

“Manager Bee’s new artist is also starring in it though as a side character but let’s assume you star in it as the main character it’s just like a slap to Manager Bee’s face”.

After hearing what Kira says I quickly opened the movie script and I saw that it was director Reynold’s movie so, I was immediately excited when I saw the title. It got me hooked “The illegitimate daughter of the aristocrat” . After skipping through the script I finally made my decision.

“Kira informs manager Janice that I will do it. I have been looking forward to working with director Reynold so this is an honor,” I say Kira nods her head cheerfully and she says she will go to the company to report to Manager Janice.

I was called in for the second part of the shoot where I wore a bathrobe. The shoot was fast because the crew was so diligent but they say I am the one doing a good job so I didn’t bother arguing with them.

After the shoot, Kira helped me change into my clothes and we decided to leave the studio.

“Are you going home now? “Kira asked and I quickly thought of a lie I can weave for her because since she started working for me she hasn’t known where I lived but I think luck was on my side this time because my phone started ringing.

“Hi best, “I say cheerfully and Victoria chuckles at the other side of the phone.

“Did you want to meet for dinner? It’s been a long time and it’s Friday?” she says and I got so excited hearing that.

“Sure count me in, “I say and I hang up the phone I used to excuse Kira.

Meeting with the girls after a long time causes a rush of adrenaline because it’s been loa since g we hung out together like this. After we get dinner Olivia says we should get something to drink but Victoria says we should go to karaoke. I know that one is also a bad idea on its own because Olivia is a bad singer.

“So which karaoke bar should we visit now?”I asked. Because of my work we can’t go to any place where there is too much crowd.

“I think we should visit the ballad bar,” Olivia says and we looked at her with mouth agape because that bar is strictly for the high class.

“The problem is not the money but you must have a membership card or a membership extra card, “Victoria says, looking at Olivia like a brainless dummy.

“And I got that covered, “Olivia says, raising a card. We were shocked but we didn’t need to ask her how she got that because we already know how.

“Where is your membership card, “one of the bouncers we met at the ballad bar asked us and Olivia presented the card to them.

The bouncer looked at us scrutinizing us with his eyes but he made way for us anyway. When we entered the club I was amazed at how they put so much thought into a bar.

“Where can we find the karaoke room,” Olivia asked one of the waiters and he ushered us to a room.

“Wow, for a karaoke room they sure lavish some money on it, “Victoria says looking around and I can sense that she doesn’t look happy. We got ourselves situated and the waiter asked for our order. I told them I am not taking any alcohol. They didn’t care about that though because they still went ahead to place an order.

“So what’s going on in your lives girls because you all know what’s going on in my life it’s all over the media”.

“Nothing much,” Victoria says and I want to question her but I was interrupted by Olivia talking into the karaoke mic.

“Since we are all here I will like to grace you with my excellent vocals,” she says and I and Victoria facepalm. She chose Bad girlfriend by Anne Marie and started singing and I applauded her for having the worst vocal in history.

“After this excellent performance I would like to call Georgina Grey to grace us with her performance” she announced as an anchor and when I heard my name my eyes twitched because I was already tipsy because I already downed two glasses of whiskey.

“Yeppi” I collected the mic from Olivia and asked her to select cheap thrills by Sia for me.

? Come on, come on, turn the radio on?

? It’s Friday night and I won’t be long ?

? Gotta do my hair and put my makeup on?

? It’s Friday and I won’t be long?

? Till I hit the dance floor ?

? I got all I need?

Georgina’s angelic voice filled the room that even attracted the waiters going around.

“I am very sure if she has debuted as a singer then she will be very famous,” Olivia says looking at her friend singing but what they didn’t know is that they didn’t close the door to the karaoke room so, they already attracted a certain someone to their door.

“Wow I didn’t know that sister-in-law is such a good singer I better go inform the cold man”
