''He is a pervert who tries to take advantage of me at the less opportunity. He wants me to appear in his debut movie but my manager already informed him that my schedule is full until late summer next year but he insisted on waiting till then. He was going on about how he made the character just for me. In anyway case, he is the last person I want to work with. He looks at me in a creepy way. I can never work with someone who looks at me like I am a piece of meat''
''He has been pestering you?'' Josh asked carefully.
''Yes. He is probably interested in me but I don't like him. He has a bad reputation in our industry. He always wants to touch the female actors and act in improper with them. He has had his eyes on me for a while now''
''I see. Go in and rest. Call me if you need anything''
''Thank you'' Alice bowed again before going to her room. She locked the door before Josh turned and left.
….
Natalie closed from work and was got into the elevator along with her co-workers. She stood at the back as the elevator went down.
''Alice has a boyfriend. Big news'' one of the ladies said.
''Where did you hear such news?'' another one asked.
''It's all over the internet. Guess who her boyfriend is? Josh Cobbs. The mysterious second heir of the Cobbs family''
Natalie quickly took out her phone and started browsing the internet. When the elevator stopped, she called Alice as she walked out of the company building.
''Big sis'' Alice answered.
''Tell me why I have to hear about the fact that my younger sister has a boyfriend from the internet?'' Natalie asked.
''It's not what you think, big sis''
''Tell me what it is then? It is all over the place'' Natalie asked and hailed a taxi. She got inside and gave the driver her address and went back to talking.
''You remember that Director An? That pervert director came at me today and I needed to escape from him. he wants me to appear on his movie but I refused. I just said it casually but he blew it up and now everyone thinks I am dating Josh''
''That pervert director. The next time I see him, I will beat him into a pulp''
''Big sis, can you really beat him up for me?''
''Hey! Why should I beat him for you? Am I from the thug?''
''You are the one who suggested it, why are you asking me then?'' Alice shook her head.
''I will beat him for you. You know I can fight even the devil when it comes to you, right? that pervert monkey. How dare he lay his eyes on you?''
''Big sis, how is everything? Is everything alright between you and Mikael?''
Natalie smiled, ''yes. Everything is fine. Alice, when you come back, I would like to tell you and Xia something''
''Why are you suddenly sounding serious? Is something wrong?''
''No. Just concentrate on your work. We will talk more when you return''
''Alright. Big sis, I have to go back to filming later on''
''Mm, bye'' Natalie hung up and looked at the road and frowned. ''This is not the road to my house'' Natalie muttered and said to the driver, 'driver, where are you going? This is not the place I asked you to send me''
The driver turned and sprayed something into Natalie's face and she fainted. The driver chuckled and made a phone call to someone.
''I have her''
''Bring her over'' Mimi stood up and stretched herself. ''Things are about to get interesting. Natalie, I told you. Not to mess with me'' Mimi looked at the mysterious room which had the pictures of Natalie pasted all over.
…
The driver took a turn and another car crossed him immediately, making him stop abruptly. The hammer blocked the road making it impossible for the driver to move further. He honed to no avail.
The person in the hammer got down with another lady and started walking towards them. the driver tried to make a turn but the lady fired a shot at the tire, deflating it''
''Shit!'' the driver cussed and opened the car door. He was about to run when the man caught him. The lady went to the backseat and touched Natalie's neck and felt her nose.
''She is still breathing, Thomas'' the lady said.
''Thomas?'' the driver looked scared at the mention of the name. He started struggling to set himself free.
''Who sent you? Why did you take Natalie away?'' Thomas asked the man as he held his collar tightly.
''I was sending her home'' the driver managed to say.
''It didn't look like that to me'' Thomas said and hit his neck, making him unconscious''
''What are we going to do now?''
''If Mikael married Natalie to take revenge on her, then I have to take her away from him. Natalie will never be safe with him''
''What if he is in love with her? Or they are in love? You always said this before, Natalie is the most rational person you know and your brother never does anything with thinking about it. What are you going to do if they are in love?''
Thomas sighed and said to the lady, ''Fina, send Natalie home first. I will take care of this person''
Fina nodded her head and got into the taxi, she saw the phone ringing and took it out, ''looks like the one behind him is calling''
''What name is on it?''
''Miss Song. Do you know any Miss… Mimi Song?'' Fina looked at Thomas after she mentioned the name.
''Mimi Song again. does this woman have nothing else to do? Give it to me, I am going to meet with her''
''No, Thomas. That woman is more the less a psycho. She is dangerous and the last person to reveal yourself to''
''But, if I don't warn her, she is going to keep trying to kidnap Natalie again''
''Then, warn Mikael instead. let me deal with Mimi. After all, I still have unfinished business with her for ruining my life back then''
''Okay, go with Natalie before she wakes up''
''Yes, boss'' Fina bowed before driving the car away.
Thomas waited for the call to end before he sent a text to Mimi.
…
Mimi looked at the time and became worried and frustrated. After her call went to voicemail she started panicking and immediately picked her bag to leave the unidentified basement.
Her phone buzzed and she looked at it. She frowned when she saw a picture of the driver she sent along with a message.
''I am watching you. T.S'
''T.S? Who is T.S?'' Mimi shivered and shook her head. The only T.S that she knew was Thomas Sun but he was dead. Dead men don't talk. Mimi turned off the phone and took the sim card out and broke it into pieces. She reached for the trashcan and dumped it inside before leaving the basement.
….
Natalie opened her eyes and found herself in her bedroom. Mikael was sitting by herself and her right hand was connected to an IV.
''Mikael… what happened to me?''
''You are awake? Natie, don't scare me like that again''
''How did I get here?''
''You fainted in a taxi and the female driver brought you home''
''A female driver? But, I boarded a male driver's taxi. Mikael, I am sure of this. the taxi I boarded was a male driver's. I was speaking on phone with Alice so Alice must have heard his voice too. I told him my address but after hanging up I realised we were going somewhere else but when I told him, he used something on me…'' Natalie stopped and looked at Mikael.
''Do you not believe me?'' she asked him.
''I do. The doctor said you were sprayed with a sleep spray which could last for hours, so I believe you''
''Someone saved me. Someone who was with the lady. I was asleep but I swear I could hear voices'' Natalie looked confused as she spoke.
''Natie, I'm sorry that I wasn't there to protect you''
''This wasn't your fault. I should have been more careful. I don't know who is doing this but it's getting out of hand. I need to do something about this and end it once and for all''
''What do you mean?''
''I am being targeted by two different people. someone who doesn't want me alive and another who doesn't want me near you. tonight's accident was by the former and I know who that person is''
''Who is it?''
''Mimi. She is using the same trick she used back then. I am made up my mind''
''What are you going to do?''
''Pay her back in her own coin. Even after you took all her gigs, she still had work to do because she is using my mother's connection. What I am going to do is break the trust between them. Make them fight against each other''
