1005 Words
Meanwhile.
Dane Levi was driving to MBN building because he had to show up at their Talent Agency twice a week.
Once he parked his car, his mobilephone rang just in time.
"What is it this time, Adam?" he asked his Manager immediately.
"Are you already at the MBN Building?" Adam asked from the other line.
"Don't worry, I'm already at the MBN parking lot. And I have no plans to run away like I did before." Dane sarcastically responded.
"It's good then. I'm on my way now. I'll see you later." Adam replied.
Once their conversation ended, Dane got out of his car...
At the same time...
"Why did you steal my manuscript, Miss Audrey? Why are you pretending that you're the original writer of the script?" Venice finally found the courage to ask her those questions.
"I don't know what you're saying. You're accusing me of stealing your script? And why would I do that? Do you have any evidence to prove that I stole it from you? Be careful of your words, Venice, or else I might sue you!" Audrey threatened her.
"Why are you doing this to me, Miss Audrey? How can you act like nothing's wrong? Don't you have any conscience?" Venice is getting more and more emotional.
"You can say anything you want, but I haven't taken or stolen anything from you. Now get out of my way!" Audrey screamed, as she pushes Venice with all her might.
And because of that, Venice fell hard unto the ground...
======================
Dane have seen it all... His blood suddenly curled because of anger.
He clearly saw how the woman was pushed unto the ground. It was obvious that the woman is in pain...
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" he suddenly called out, in a dangerous tone.
Venice looked up when she heard that familiar voice again. She was caught by surprise when he saw Dane Levi again. It was the same guy who thought that she was his stalker...
She puzzilly frowned while she's looking at him. He looks suicidal, and he looks like he's going to attack someone...
"Do you want me to call the police to report everything. This old woman attacked you?" Dane asked Venice, as he was helping her stand up...
"Uh, I don't think we need to go that far." Venice decided to speak.
"Well, it's your call... Come on, let me take you to a hospital or clinic to treat your wound." Dane suggested.
Venice suddenly felt a stinging pain on her palm and elbows. She didn't realized that her palms and elbows are covered with blood because of wounds...
But what really surprised her the most is Dane Levi opened the passenger's seat door for her.
"I can take care of myself---!" Venice wasn't able to finish her sentence when Dane spoke again
"Please, just get in." he cajoled.
Venice didn't have any choice but to follow his request. She quietly steps inside his car.
Dane heaved a huge sigh of relief. Once he steps inside the driver's seat, he quickly started the engine and drove away...
=========================
Venice is sitting quietly at the passenger's seat while gazing outside the car window. She doesn't have any idea where they are going, but one thing is for sure...
She feels extremely calm as of the moment.
The car suddenly did a U-Turn. She saw the vast paddy fields, and the trees on the road...
There were very few vehicles on the road, which was completely different compared to the chaotic situation in the big city.
Moments later he saw the vast sea. The water from the ocean is sparkling like diamonds because of the sunset...
Dane stopped the car by the seaside, and she secretly observes the woman sitting in the passenger's seat.
When Venice got out from the car, she was instantly greeted by a gentle breeze. She appreciated the breathtaking view infront of her...
"It's nice, isn't it?"
Venice glanced back when she heard the man's voice again.
"Why did you bring me here?" he curiously asked him.
"I always come here when I want to clear my head, or if I want to have a peace of mind." Dane gently responded.
Venice became speechless for a few minutes. Tears started coming out from her eyes, as she can't control her emotions anymore.
"I'm such a coward. I was so afraid to fight back eventhough she did something wrong." she tearfully said.
"You're right. You're a coward. You just let that woman say bad things to you. You even let her hurt you. But it's not too late to fight back. Show her who you really are..." Dane gave the woman a piece of advice.
"I don't want to say this, but I guess you're right..." Venice gave him a small smile.
"You shouldn't waste your time feeling sorry to yourself. You need to get up again and face every trial that comes into your life." Dane continues to speak.
"This feels a bit strange, you know... We had an unpleasant first meeting. But we're here now... By the way, introductions are in order. I'm Venice. Nice to meet you..." Venice smilingly introduced herself, as she extended her hand for a handshake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Venice. My name's Dane." Dane introduced himself as well. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Venice.
Dane sucked his breath when his hand touched Venice's hand. He suddenly felt a tingling sensation, as if electricity is flowing in every parts of his body!
Afterwards, his heard started beating like crazy, and it's making him harder to breath.
As an actor, he already had many encounters with many women. She kissed, hugged and held hands with her leading ladies, and he didn't feel anything just like this!
What the heck is going on? Why is this woman giving her strange kind of feeling? And what should he do in this situation?
"Uh, oh.This is bad..." he secretly thought to himself.
