Julie faked a smile in Mrs Lucy's new room, so after all, these two weren't going to leave together. Nevertheless, at least, she got to see Brian. Miss Lucy pants heavily as only her has been charged with the responsibility of packing the luggage brought by Vanessa.
“Mom, how long are we staying here?” Julie asked, walking towards the door.
“Just a month” she replied in a faint tone, dragging her box towards the closet.
“A month? Mom? What kind of relationship is that?” She beckoned, folding her hands.
“What do you know about relationships? Run along you little one” she barked
“I'm not little!” She snapped when walking out and slamming the door at her mother. Miss Lucy didn't have the strength to scold Julie, but just collapsed on the bed, exhausted.
“Brian” she muttered, closing her eyes to relax.
“You called me” Brian replied and miss Lucy shuddered, could he be appearing in her thoughts too? She shook her head and stood up if he was real.
“You're real” she mused as her eyes met the paper in his hand.
“I came in and heard my name from your lips” he replied, handing her the paper which entails what the contract states.
“Pen” she snapped, reading the lines one after another as he sufficed for her a pen.
“Am I the only one to sign? It's two months, right? What a short contract” she mused, signing on it.
“Well anyway, seems I would be returning before it elapses” she stated flipping the paper on his chest.
“Why?” He asked, coming close to her, but she stood mute as her eyes bore authority.
“It's my choice…you aren't my boyfriend to know” she posed.
“I am for now” he explained pointing a finger to the paper which he tossed on the bed.
“Sorry but no”
“Well, away with that, I have a question for you…”
“What!” She snapped with a frown.
“Promise you won't lie” he said as she began to step back, nervous about what question he had for her. He followed her step and she banged her back on the wall.
“What job were you into before becoming an actress?” He asked, and she looked away from his gaze.
“I don't talk about that” she replied and close her eyes hastily.
“You promised…”
“I didn't!” She reminded wanting to leave, and he held her hand.
“It hurts, but you can tell…if you want us to walk together” he said in a sober tone hoping she falls for it.
“We aren't working together…” She snapped and pushed him away from her. Brian scoffed sadly while walking after miss Lucy.
“How long would you hide it? I knew to know my supposed wife, right?” He pressured and she laughed.
“You're wasting your time here… I'm so tired…argh you need to leave, so I could get a break” she beckoned pulling off her shirt, she expected Brian to walk away, but he was still standing there, and she smirked at him.
“What… I'm about to go naked…so leave!” She continued rolling her eyes at him. He stared at her for a while and then left, immediately he walked out, miss Lucy let out a gasp as though her heart was about to burst open at the sight of him. She needed to control herself with him anyway before she ends up falling in love with him.
***
Two men stood at miss Lucy's house, they were waiting for someone and there she was, Vanessa coming out of the house. She was going to lock it up before these men approached her, and she stared at them with a stern look,
“Where's she now?”
***
Miss Lucy groaned, annoyed that only her has to get some house utensils from a grocery store. She had finished purchasing all she needed and was got into the car to ride when she began to hear the car beam. Miss Lucy didn't mind the beam and was about to drive off when one of the storekeepers called out to her that she forgot a good behind. Brian had returned from the office quite early, and Julie must have returned from school too but busy in the garden. She always goes there to play besides having a nanny who has time for her face was just the wrong idea. He glanced at the house expecting to see miss Lucy, but she wasn't inside, and he sighed. Julie ran to give him a hug, as he smiled at her while asking her questions, pertaining schools but not miss Lucy. He switched on the TV and suddenly a new popped up showing a blast close to a grocery.
“Miss Lucy!” The nanny yelled immediately she got to the sitting room. Julie's heart skipped with fear as the nanny explained what miss Lucy went to get. Brian didn't wait until she finishes her speech and drove off, as for Julie, she was already in tears and the maid attempted to comfort her. Brian halted at the event of the car blast, and the police wouldn't have let him go close to the scene if he hadn't shown them his ID as a detective there in Mexico.
“Did you find anyone inside?” He asked worried, and a policeman shook his head while observing a car which was burnt close to the grocery. Brian walked towards it and read its plate number, it was similar to that of miss Lucy.
“We found no one inside too” the policeman responded and Brian stared at the car, he was suddenly scared as he took pictures of the car alongside the grocery which was damaged at one end.
“Are you safe” he muttered bitterly and someone called out to him. It was a worker at the grocery shop who wanted to narrate the incident and that none of them was hurt thanks to someone.
Miss Lucy could be seen at an ice-cream shop standing and scooping a cup of ice-cream, she was avoiding being asked questions and was about to leave when someone hugged her warmly which made her ice-cream fall off.
