Give it a try

Chapter Fourteen.

Engfa's Pov

After we had our breakfast, we were rushed to meet the organisers of the gala. The car ride was silent the whole way. We kissed without any reason, and now both of us didn't know what to say.
We both kept making eye contact, but neither of us said a word.
Thank god, Nudee was there to crack up jokes and warm up the environment.
We came to a very huge building.
There were already many paparazzi outside the building, and I knew that Charlotte would be nervous. I looked at her, and she was nervously biting her lower lips. Well, that was pretty seducive, though.
I held her hands and told her that it was okay and that she could do it.
She smiled and then we came out of the car. The people were pushing each other, and it was chaos there.
There were flashes all around, and Charlotte was hiding her face.
I ran towards her and held her hands. She was breathing very heavily.
I carrased her back, calming her down.
Then, I told the paparazzi and the crowd to be respectful and give us space.
They thankfully understood and left us some space.
"Are you okay ?" I whispered to her.
She nodded, and then we walked through the crowd to the building.
Charlotte was holding my hands throughout the way, and I didn't complain either.
The moment we were inside, she hugged me. I hugged her back. I knew that she was very panicked and scared.
"Are you okay ?" Nudee asked Charlotte.
"Y-yes," she said. I looked around, but her manager was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's your manager ?" I asked her.
"I don't know," she said.
Well, that was very weird because it's the managers job to make sure Charlotte is safe.
After looking around, I finally found him, flirting with one of the female staff of the building.
Charlotte over there is having a panick attack, and this mf out here is flirting.
She needs to hire a good manager. Someone better than him.
I walked up to him and grabbed his shoulder very tightly. I was in his back, so he couldn't see me.
"Shouldn't you be with Charlotte, Mister ?" I asked him. He turned around and went pale.
"I'll go to her right away, ma'am," he said, running towards her.

I went behind him. He was apologising to her when we were called inside.
We both went inside and saw all the organisers and sponsors inside.
We were sitting beside each other, and the meeting went nicely.
I needed to talk to her about her manager and wanted some time, but we weren't given any break.
After 5 hours of meeting, we were finally free.
I was about to speak to her when suddenly her manager approached us.
"You guys cannot be with each other anymore," he said.
"Who the fuck are you to tell us that ?" I asked him, ready to punch him.

"Well, it's in the rule that you guys can't copy any designs, so that means you can't stay in one place," he said.
"Do you think that we'll steal each other's designs ?" I asked him.

"Well, it's not the case, but if you guys are staying together then, you will definitely see each other's designs and use it if you go out of ideas," he said, sarcastically.
"Behave," Charlotte scolded him.
He apologised and went away fuming.
We went back to the hotel and found out that we were now in separate rooms.
Charlotte tried calling her manager, but he didn't pick up. Unwillingly, Charlotte had to move to the other room.
I was angry, but there was nothing I could do.
I tried to distract my mind by designing.
I was pretty fast when I was angry.
I made many designs that night and was amazed by how good they were.
I heard noises from Charlotte's room, meaning she was also up and designing.
I was so invested in designs that I even didn't notice that it was already morning.
Nudee came to ask me for breakfast.
I was definitely in need of some food, and I went with her.
I saw that Charlotte was already on the table, waiting for us.
She was tired just as myself. We both lazily greeted each other and ate our breakfast.
"Did you contact him ?" I asked her.
"He was out of reach," she said.
"You should hire a new manager," I suggested to her.
"I already did," she said.
Me and Nudee looked at her confused.
"I was thinking about firing him since a while, and he crossed the line yesterday, so I fired him immediately," she said. I was so proud of her.

"My new manager will be here soon," she said. "I look forward to meeting her," Nudee said, sipping her coffee.
Charlotte smiled and waved at someone.
Nudee and I looked back and saw Chompu coming up to us.
I knew that Nudee has always had a soft spot for her.
She came and greeted us. Nudee was quiet as she couldn't gather her confidence in front of her old high-school crush.
"She is my new manager," Charlotte said proudly.
"She is way better than him," I said, receiving a cute laugh from Charlotte.
Nudee was now suddenly acting so formal. I couldn't help but laugh.
Chompu was also looking at Nudee many times. I knew where it would end.

After breakfast, Chompu and Charlotte went to the museum near the hotel for some inspiration.
See, Chompu is way better than that jerk. Charlotte was so much happy with her than with him.
Nudee and I went to the garden area.
"Someone is happy," I said, teasing her.
She was all red but wasn't able to speak a word.
"I have liked her since school," she said.
Well that was a suprise for me because Nudee has never mentioned about the fact that she still liked Chompu.
"You like her so much ?" I asked her.
"Uhmm, so much that she has always been there in my heart and that's why I am still single," she said, looking at the sky.
I was amazed at how good Nudee was at hiding things. No one could ever imagine, a chill person like her could ever be waiting for the same girl.

Suddenly, I felt her looking at me.
"What ?" I asked her.
"Well, maybe you can again start things all over again. She remembers you,right ?" Nudee said.

"Yes she does remember me," I told her.
She was suddenly jumping.
I looked at her confused.
"She still remembers you. Which means she is fine now. You don't have to be apart anymore and I can be with Chompu," she said.
I then realised that it was the truth.
I was so overjoyed that I ran and hugged Nudee.
Maybe I could start again with her and maybe this time we won't have to be apart.
Maybe both of us could get our happy endings.
