Chapter 140 - Are You Done?

''She is AGATHA's new brand ambassador. Also, we will be working together as the main lead couple in the upcoming drama. We are just starting to know each other''

''What? Zeya, are you doing this to spite me? Let me tell you. In this industry, who doesn't know Sebastian Bassey? He is tagged as the Casanova of our time for a reason. He doesn't meet with a woman for more than once. You are actually flirting with this kind of man to spite me? Or are you not afraid people will say that you are tainting his family name for clout?'' Lucas couldn't control his anger anymore and yelled, attracting everyone at the pool side's attention.

''Lucas, have you said enough?'' Zeya yelled at him. Everyone's gaze turned to them.

''I am not going to stand here and argue with you'' Zeya look at him before going out. She had forgotten that Sebastian was holding her hand and started walking away. She pulled Sebastian along.

Sebastian turned and gave Lucas a mocking gaze as he willingly followed Zeya out of the place.

…

''Aye, this went down real quick. I hope Zeya will be alright?'' Alice said as she looked towards the door.

''Mikael, is he really a Casanova?'' Natalie asked.

''Sebastian has gotten his own share of scandals but he won't mess with Zeya if that is what you are worried about. He probably wanted to irk Lucas''

''I can't stay here any longer, I have a meeting tomorrow morning'' Xia stated.

''Let's go and say goodbye to the Governor before leaving'' Connor suggested.

''You guys should go ahead. I want to speak with… my mother'' Natalie hesitated before calling her, her mother.

''I will go with you'' Mikael suggested.

''Mm'' Natalie didn't reject his offer. She felt crept out by Daniel's gaze, so she didn't want to be there alone''

''Let's go, then, Alice'' Xia touched Alice's shoulder.

Natalie and Mikael went towards Solace who was turning away after chatting with a few people. When she saw them, she smiled and went closer.

''Do you have time tomorrow?'' Natalie asked.

''I do''

''Let's meet and have a meal together''

''Are you not going to introduce your husband to me?''

''You already know each other''

''Hi, we meet again Miss Ash''

''Hi, Mr. Sun''

''Just call me Mikael''

''Alright, Mikael''

''Did you come to introduce your husband to your mother?'' Daniel walked over and asked as he stood next to Solace.

''Natalie, shouldn't you also introduce him to me? After all, I am your stepfather''

''I had only one father and he is dead. Mr. Song, you are only married to Miss Ash who happens to be my mother. We have no relationship with each other. My last name isn't​ Song but Jun''

''Really? We will see about that''

''Dad, mom'' Mimi joined them.

''I will send you the address. I am going home'' Natalie said to Solace before turning away. Together, she and Mikael walked away without acknowledging anyone else in their family.

…

''I'm sorry'' Zeya bowed and leaned against her van.

''What are you sorry for?'' Sebastian asked.

''Because of me, you got into a fight with Lucas. I'm sure tomorrow's newspapers are going to be all about us. But, you don't have to worry. I will clarify the matter tonight as soon as I get home. I will make an official statement on my website and also through my company. I won't let you suffer any grievance because of me''

''Are you done?'' Sebastian asked and Zeya looked up in surprise.

''Huh?''

''Tomorrow, no, tonight there will probably be dating scandals about you and me, you and that ex-boyfriend. People are going to talk about how you are seducing me even before the official announcement of our drama is made. A lot of people are going to bash you because you are easier to bully. Before the news gets out, before anyone dares to mention my name, my family will wipe them out. Lucas' family will likely do the same. Who is going to take the fall for you, Zeya? At worse, netizens will ask for you to be removed from the drama''

''I…'' Zeya clenched her fists tightly. She realised she didn't have anyone to fight for her. There was little her company could do to salvage the situation.

''Listen to me if you want to be safe. Don't do anything. Where is your phone?''

''It's here'' Zeya brought it out and Sebastian took it. He turned the screen back to her.

''Open it''

Zeya opened the phone and after a while, Sebastian finished and handed it to her.

''I just uninstalled all the social media apps from your phone. Don't install anything and wait until you receive a call from me. Mikael will handle the PR since he is the owner of the company you belong to.

Don't answer any call from any new number you don't know. Don't come out after you get home. I will text you the time for you to meet up and sign the brand ambassador contract''

''Are you giving the contract to me?''

''What do you think? I never go back on my word''

''Oo''

''Get into the car''

''Good night''

''I don't think I will be having a good night. You just gave me a lot of work to do? I'm beginning to believe in astronomy because of you. My horoscope warned me to be careful a woman in blue…'' he scanned Zeya's blue dress and continued, ''I guess you were the one the gods told me to be careful about''

Zeya pursed her lips as she listened to him. She didn't have anything to say back to him.

''Get in. My last number is 2443, you can only answer a call or text from it and not any other new number''

''Okay''

''Get in. Or do you want me to lift you inside so that the media can say we secretly got married after attending the Governor's party together?''

''No'' Zeya hurried got into the van and her drive drove away.

Sebastian removed his phone and made a call, ''follow her car and make sure no one disturbs her''

''Yes, boss. But, your parents must have heard the news now''

''I will deal with them later'' Sebastian ended the call and turned to see Mikael and the others at the entrance.

''You took care of it so carefully, friend!'' Mikael teased.

''Do you realise the mess that you just brought to me?''

''I will alert Sister Lylia to deal with the media''

''Zeya is such a beautiful girl. You should be grateful that you got into a scandal with her, Mr. Casanova'' Alice said sarcastically.

''I will deal with you later on'' Sebastian looked at the phone ringing in his head. He shook his head and got into the car that had just pulled over for him.

''Even scandals can come out from a single congratulatory party. I have a lot of writing to do tonight''

''Are you going to write on what happened?'' Natalie asked Xia.

''Of course, I won't allow such piece of information go to another place. Not only will I write, I will also invite Zeya over for an interview''

''Yes, help Zeya clear her name. If not…'' Alice saw Lucas coming out and decided to speak loudly, ''otherwise, other people will think that Zeya has no one to protect her. You can't eat your cake and have it. This is called being greedy. Aren't you afraid of getting choked to death?''

Lucas knew Alice was targeting her, but he didn't say anything and simply got into his car and drove away.

''Alice, get in, I will send you home before we go home'' Mikael said when their car arrived.

''Xia, let's go'' Connor held Xia's hand and they went over to his car.

….

Alice waved at Natalie and Mikael before going into the house. She opened the door and took off her shoes.

''Today has been hectic'' she murmured and went into the hall. She saw a familiar blazer on the sofa and her eyes lighted up.

''Josh…'' she rushed upstairs and pushed opened the door. ''Josh, you came back?'' Alice hurriedly went over to hug the man in only a towel.

''Alice…'' Josh smiled and hugged her back.

'When did you come back? You didn't even tell me''

''I wanted to give you a surprise. I just got back and decided to take my bath before waiting for you''

Alice stepped back and blushed when she saw his bare chest. ''I'm sorry, I was just so happy that I forgot to knock. I should go and get changed first'' Alice stepped back towards the door.

''Alice…'' Josh walked closer and pulled her to himself. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a passionate kiss. Alice, taken by surprise couldn't help but touch his upper body tightly, trying to hold on to something as he kissed her.

After a while, Josh stepped back and said to her, ''go and get changed. I will also change into something before I go too far''

''Mm'' Alice hurried out of the room blushing.
