the CEO and the Artist

Chapter 54

Freen's POV

"Bring me with you later or you'll have to sleep on the sofa and no lovey dovey time. You choose." She said.

"Beck you need to trust me on this, please? And how about your filming schedule. The director says that you have a lot of scenes today. Can you finish by then?" I said.

She pouted again and huffed. She crossed her arms and showed her back to me. Like a spoiled brat, she doesn't want to listen to me.

"My love, pleaaase? I know you don't trust him but please trust me. All I want is to see and organize the restaurant where we used to go. I want it to celebrate my mom's birthday with you, with our family and with our friends." I've tried to convince her.

"Can you bring P'Nam? She's your secretary right? Atleast bring someone, I don't want it to be just the two of you." She stubbornly said.

"Okay, I will call P'Nam now to ask." I said.

Freen: "Hello? P'Nam can you accompany me at a specific restaurant later after the meeting? I'll explain later why, so can you?"

P'Nam: "Are you seeing someone?"

Freen: "Yes, I'll meet the owne..."

Before I finish my sentence Becky snatch my phone and talked to P'Nam.

Becky: "P'Nam, please go with P'Freen. You can bring P'Sheng, your dinner in that restaurant is on me so please come with P'Freen. She's going to meet with the owner and that owner is Khun Kirk the interviewer who likes MY daddy. So please please please go with P'Freen."

P'Nam: "Uhh, okay but you said I can bring P'Sheng and you'll pay for the dinner."

Freen: "P'Nam!"

P'Nam: "Becky! Okay deal!"

P'Nam ended the call because she knows that I don't tolerate this kind of negotiation.

"Argh! I can't believe P'Nam agreed just for a dinner. And you Becky, how will you go home after filming if P'Sheng will come with us?" I'm still disappointed to what's happening here. I can't control Becky anymore, she's not really listening.

"I could take a cab or I can ask your driver to pick me up." She said innocently.

"Argh! Whatever! Becky I can't believe that you're not trusting me on this kind of situation. I need to go, let's talk when I get home." I said then left her inside the dressing room.

*At FS Beauty Company

Our meeting with Heidi turned out very well. Good thing she's one of the casts for our upcoming movie. They adjusted her schedule to matched mine so we won't have a hard time for processing the event. The meeting ended with no problem.

"P'Freen? Can I talk to you in private?" Heidi asked.

"Sure. What is it?" I asked as we arrived at my office.

"My acting was so awkward earlier this morning. I meant the kiss. I was so stiff that time since it's my first kiss." Heidi said.

"Oh my, I'm sorry if it has to be your first. Don't worry I don't mind. You should stop thinking about it. I was also like that when I had my first, I was also stiff and actually I don't know how to do it but I just go with the flow. If ever we'll have a scene like that again, I'll take the lead okay? Don't worry I got you." I tapped her shoulder to assure her that I'll take care of her like a real Phi.

"Ohh, okay. Thank you. It's just that I thought you'll be disappointed. Well nevermind. Thank you again." She said then bowed to say goodbye.

Knock~ Knock~

P'Nam entered my office after knocking. She brought me my late lunch.

"Youuuuu! P'Nam!" I slightly shouted and pouted.

"Hey, Noooonggg. Don't get me wrong but it's been a while since I haven't got to date my girlfriend. I think it's the best time for it. So why is Becky so desperate to accompany you at the restaurant?" P'Nam asked curiously.

"Well, she doesn't trust Khun Kirk to be just the two of us. She thinks that Khun Kirk will make a move to me as he likes me since we had our first interview here at our company. Remember him? You're the who hired her as an interviewer." I said.

"Yep, the way he look at you gives me goosebumps. He's like undressing you when he stares at you." P'Nam said.

"That's exactly what Becky said. That's why she doesn't trust him." I said as I finish eating my lunch.

So how many times do I have to say that Becky doesn't trust that guy. Hmp! Still she should've trust me.

"Ohh! P'Nam, please keep this as a secret. Later on you'll find out." I said.

*At the Restaurant

"Hey, I'm glad you came. And with others too? I thought it's just the two of us. And it should be a secret." Khun Kirk was confused since I didn't tell him that I will be bringing them.

"To make a long story short, they need to come with me. But you can prepare then a different table like they're going on a date." I said. He giggled and nod.

The meeting is almost done. We talked about the theme, the time, what food to be served, and how many guests are expecting. I handed him a red box as he hold my hand. He almost drop it because someone held my hand rapidly.

"Becky?!" I was shocked seeing Becky here.

"See! You guys are holding hands behind my back! And what is that your holdinh behind your back?" Becky asked Khun Kirk.

I signalled Khun Kirk not to say anything. I shaked my head from left to right secretly for Becky not to notice.

"Nn-nothing, It's just a souvenir to welcome her and a token to say thank you for renting the whole place. But seems you don't like me giving her gifts, I'll keep this." Khun Kirk said while stuttering. Whew! That was close.

"P'Freen, let's go home." Becky firmly said.

"We'll just finalize everything." I said.

"I think you're done. Right!? Khun Kirk?" Becky looked at Khun Kirk sternly.

As if Khun Kirk doesn't have a choice to say No, he just nod. I'll just call him when I'm not with Becky. Then Becky held my wrists firmly and pulled me out of the restaurant. P'Nam and P'Sheng followed.

"Nong Beck, how did you get here? It's already late to take a cab and don't you still have one more scene to shoot?" P'Sheng asked.

"I did my best to cut off the time of shooting. Meaning I took other scenes with just one take. I know I'm great. But I think we need to go home. Freen and I have a lot to talk about." She said and I just gulped my own saliva.

*At FreenBecky's mansion

Becky's POV

"Explain yourself." I said as soon as we entered the room. I don't want Bonbon to hear us fighting. It's not good for our son.

"We really did talk about the renting of the place and everything about the event." She explained and why is she sounded like she's afraid of me?

"And why is he holding your hand?!" Now I'm furious.

"Like what he told you, he's about to give a gift but you interrupted him from giving it." She said like a lost puppy.

"Interrupted?! So I'm a disturbance? Why? Do like him?" I said with high voice.

"No no no. My love, please calm down. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let him do that. Honey, please don't think about it negatively. I love you, only you." As I calmed down a bit.

"Fine, sleep at the couch tonight." I said and turned my back on her then went inside the bathroom to change.
