The Story Of Another Us | cth

45. I quit

Lucy's POV

My agent and management called me into a meeting to discuss the situations that are now circling around the internet and future plans for my career.

"It's going to be fine Lucy. You're thinking into this way too much." Victoria said trying to comfort me.

It's been a week since the party we attended and Devyn getting sent into custody. Unfortunately, they let him go without pressing any charges due to the amount of money he has and with the advantage that he is a successful male in the industry.

My anxiety got the best of me when I heard about his bail. I cried harder than I ever have and had one of the worst panic attacks I've ever experienced in my life. Just the thought of what he could do to me and my image frightened me.

The two of us were at my house sitting in the living room and discussing my upcoming meeting that I had to leave for soon.

"But what if they're calling me in to tell me that my career is over with?" I asked worriedly as I picked at my nails, a nervous habit I've always had.

"Your career isn't over with Lucy. How many times do we have to tell you that you're Hollywood's newest and best thing, firing you would just be bad press on them." She said actually making a lot of sense.

I'm glad that I always have Victoria to be the sensible one when it comes to high stake situations.

"I guess you're right." I said shrugging my shoulders slightly.

"It's going to be fine Lu," She said still sensing the hesitance in my voice.

When I first walked in, I received looks that I couldn't quite decipher. My palms were sweating, my left eye was twitching slightly, and it felt as if the room was spinning. I told myself that I'd walk into this room with confidence, but the second I entered the building that plan failed. 

As I opened the door my eyes stayed glued to the floor since I was too afraid to even see who was in the room, but once I heard the familiar voice of my manager clearing his throat my head shot up. Then my eyes landed on the only person in this world I hate with every bone in my body.

Devyn Harper was sitting there leaned back in his chair with a small smirk planted on his face, as if he didn't have a care in the world.

"Miss Wilson," My manager began. "Please have a seat, we have a lot to discuss." I did as I was told and searched the room for my seat which was of course right next to Devyn. 

I internally rolled my eyes and took the seat next to him without saying a word. 

"So nice of you to join us princess," Devyn whispered into my ear. I felt my body grow hot with anger but stayed quiet and didn't show him that this was bothering me. 

"Now Lucy, I'm sure you know why we called you in here today," My agent spoke to me from across the table.

"To discuss future plans for my career," I said trying to hide the shakiness in my voice. "Is that correct?" I asked for clarification. 

My agent turned her attention to my manager and they gave each other a look that didn't look too solidifying or comforting at all for that matter. 

"That is correct." My manager said calming some of my worries. I felt my breathing slow down a bit but I knew there was more to this than what they have told me so far. 

"Lucy," My agent joined in. "The next project we have planned for you is a sequel to the first movie." I felt as if I could've passed out right here in this chair. A second movie? There's no way I'd be able to do a second movie. I could barely make it through the first one without ruining my life almost entirely.
