Crossed paths

Chapter 5 What To Do?

Allena

I ran out of the set. I felt like I couldn't breathe inside there. Jack was there, he is here in the show.  How will I be able to do my job now knowing that he is also here with other women?

 I have to avoid him if I have to survive for 1 month here. 

But it's so hard. He looked so handsome and masculine in that grey suit. And I was so close to him. His strong hands were holding me tightly against his hard chest.

I could feel his muscles bulge against my skin. I could still feel how his brown eyes were looking at me. It was like he could see inside my soul. 

My phone starts ringing. 

"Hello, who is it? "

"Hello, this is Cristen Ramson. Am I speaking to Allena Ramor "

"Yes Allena this side, how can I help you. "

"Allena, I am speaking from MTVSS and I regret to inform you that your services are no longer required at the BLH show. You will be given today's work p*****t which will be transferred directly to your bank account "

"But why, what happened "even while asking this question I knew it was Jack's doing.  How could he do this to me? 

"Ma'am there was the report of dissatisfaction from your service.  I can't give you more details than that"

"I understand, Thank you "

"Your welcome " and the line went dead. 

I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. How will I manage to know? I kept walking towards the park outside the set sobbing uncontrollably not caring about people looking at me. 

Finally, I found a small bench and sat on it on the floor feeling defeated. 

"Hey your face  doesn't look pretty when you cry if I were you I would never do that "

I looked up wiping tears from my face. Sam was standing there looking at me and smiling. He started making stupid faces that made me also giggle. 

"Do you have some supernatural power to find people in trouble and make them happy? "I asked. He said t beside me. 

"Yes, and know as you know my secret I have to kill you" he mocked.

" Looks like my life will have this tragic end" we both burst into laughter.  It felt good to laugh out loud. Then silence fell between us. It feels like we knew each other for years. 

"Now do you want to tell me what happened "his voice was filled with genuine concern.

"I got fired on the very first day ."

"Why, did they give any reason for it"

"I may have shouted at Ja... Mr. Paul to get out of the way"

"You have got some guts there girl. " he laughed. 

"I just bumped into him and said the first thing that came to my mind"I didn't want to tell him that I already knew Jack or about our past. 

"Don't worry it happen sometimes ." he consoled. 

"But this job was very important to me. What will I do now. "tears filling up my eyes again. 

"If it's that important to you then you could apologize to Mr. Paul. I have heard he is a reasonable man "he said calmly like it's the easiest thing in the world to do.

But I don't have another option. It's not like I have anything to lose.  I already am jobless. What worse could happen he won't give back my job.  I need to do this. 

Listing all pros and cons in my mind nodded "Thank you. I think I will go and talk to him know"

"Definitely, I will see you soon I hope then"

"I wish so too"

I left the garden and went straight to the green room area. I gathered all my courage and knocked on the door but no response. 

Suddenly before  I could knock again someone pushed me back so hard that I hit the wall.  I cringed in pain. I saw a blonde man standing in front of me with anger clearly visible in my eyes. 

"Why the hell are you knocking at the door of Mr. Paul. Do you want me to lose my job"

"I am sorry but I need to talk to him. I am also an assistant " I tried to explain but be gave me an evil smirk. 

"Oh,  so you are one of those who wants to get in his pants to reach his wallet.  You can take your big boobs and that cute ass som.." before he could complete I deep and an angry voice came from behind him. 

"Stop right there " 

I peeked above his shoulder and saw Jack standing at the door gritting his teeth still looking smoking hot.  His hands flinched into a fist and anger clearly visible 

"William you are fired and get out of here before I kill and you follow me into my office," he said in such an authoritative voice. 

I looked at William who was equally shocked but I followed him quietly without a word.

I entered the room and it looked more like a top-class office than a temporary green room.

It was so sleek and beautiful room with that large wooden table and matching decor.

He shut the door and then went to sit behind the desk and looked straight at me.  

"If you are done looking around will you tell me the purpose of your visit," he said curtly without a pinch of emotion that I felt hurt. 

"I just wanted to apologize for my behavior in the morning, Sir,  I need this job very badly and I ensure that if you give me a chance I would do my best to stay out of your way," I said with all that in one go being as much formal as I could and ran out of the room to prevent him to see my tears. 

I went straight to my home. I cried myself out on my bed and fell asleep on it. 

When I woke up it was 4 in the evening.  I have 2 hours before my shift at the club starts. I accepted that Jack will not give me my job back. I made a mug of hot chocolate and set my canvas on the stand.

 I started painting show all my emotions through colors and forgetting all my problems. 

 After painting, I felt calm.  I changed into uniform for the club which I hated so much as it was so revealing and tight that I could hardly breathe in them. 

I decided to not think about the past or Jack anymore and get on with my life with one day at a time.
