The Man I Married

Chapter 6

"Chai, here's your booking this month." the talent manager handed me a paper. Where on the middle of a meeting right now.

"Woah, you're really working hard bitch. Are you still resting?"
Dean reaction after seeing my schedule.

"Rest? What's that?" I joked.

"By the way Chai, the CEO wants to talk to you after this meeting."

"I think there's a protest against you for so much booking." Dean commented that makes everyone laugh.

"Shut up bitch." I scold.

After the meeting, I went to CEO's office. The secretary open the door for me.

"Ma'am, did you summoned me?"

"Ah, yes. Come and be sitted Chai."

"I call you because I need to discuss something important to you."

"About what CEO?"

"We have an important client. He need a model for endorsement. I heard you worked as an advertising manager before."

"What about it Ma'am?"

"Since you know this environment, I want you to do this project."

"Me? But I'm loaded this month ma'am."

"I know, we can rearrange your schedule to fit the days of photo shoot and other advertisements you will do."

"But I think, there's a lot of models that more suitable for doing this big project. I'm just newbie here ma'am." I protest.

"They're just a model but you have the knowledge and background to this. Please Chai, we both profit to this. They're willing to pay much."

I sigh and think. Actually, I'm planning to have a month vacation after this month if possible. If I accept it, there is possibility that I cant do that. Especially if it required a long term contract. But can I refused my boss?

"Okey ma'am as if I can rejected you." I said surrendering.

The CEO smile. "Let's make an appointment with them to finalize the contract. I just let you know when, okey. Thank you Chai."

"Im the one to be thankful here, you spoiled me with work. I go ahead Ma'am."

"Oh, wait. I just remembered. Last week I went to North. And I saw this banana plantation in my way. Are you familiar with it?"

"N-no Ma'am." I denied, but I'm sure thats the plantation I gave to Gunar as a payment, a year ago.

"I just thought if its just coincidence that your name engraved to that property."

"What do you mean ma'am?"

"The plantation named 'Chairette Cullen-Hayes Plantation'. And according to my friend that locally live there, that's the name of the owner." she said thinking.

I was stunned for a moment. How could it be? Did Gunar changed the name of the plantation? But why is my name there? No, it can be.

"M-maybe we just had the same name ma'am." I said, tried to be calm.

"Yes, just what I thought. Beside, you're not Hayes, right?"

"Y-yes of course not ma'am." I said not looking at her.

When I went out in CEO office I felt my heart running. I never thought I heard that surname again. I breath deeply before walking toward Dean who's waiting for me in the entrance.

"What happened?"

"Just another work." I said.

"Really? I thought you've been fired." he teased.

"You bitch!"

"I bet it's a big project."

"Maybe, I guess. It's not finalized yet."

"The CEO won't give a damn if it just ordinary client. You had your different level now Chai."

"Oh, shut up. Be silent, will you? You're burning me alive here."

He just laughed. "Let them feel insecure."

"You really want a fight."
