FALLING FOR YOU ..

XV - Mine

Becky was grounded by her family for two days. For the first time in her memory, her parents scolded her non-stop for being reckless and Richie practically ignored her for 24 hours. She had to be on her knees to make him talk. She was instructed not to involve in business affairs any more and was told that her family will deal with the Kanpiang's from then on.

She got pretty good scoldings from Irin who followed Richie's car and joined with them to give her an earful.

Becky knew that she deserved it. But what made her more scared was Freen's silence. Her messages and calls were unanswered. She knew that she could seek Irin's help, but it will give chance for Irin to scold her again. She had already missed four days of shooting and was getting ready to meet everyone again at the location. Especially Freen. She will come, right?

"Who are you looking for?" -- Irin brought Becky's attention back.

Becky arrived the location scared, but she was ready to face Freen. But Freen was no-where to be found. Becky even tried to call her but it went to voice mail.

"Freen... Where is she? She doesn't come these days?" - Becky looked at Irin.

"She comes and goes as she wishes and no, she hasn't even visited one time in a while." - Irin answered without looking up from the script.

Shooting was again in the office background and all were in a hurry to wind up before the sunlight goes.

"Miss. Armstrong, Miss. Chankimha is waiting for you in the office. She asked me to take you there." -- It was Yha, Freen's assistant, whom Becky had seen sometimes. Becky was walking to the dressing room to change as her shoot for the day was finished.

She followed Yha to the floor where the main office is located.

Yha knocked on the door politely and entered followed by Becky.

"You can leave now Yha. Office hours are over now." -- Freen, who was sitting on the large chair ordered.

Yha left the room , closing the door silently.

Becky stood there. Looking at Freen, who was looking at her intently from head to foot, with a cold face.

"Why are you still standing? Sit." -- It was more of a command and Becky sat obediently.

Freen stood up. Walked over to her side. Standing right in front of her, making Becky feel like she is so small compared to the one in front of her.

"What were you thinking?" -- Freen uncrossed her arms over her chest and lifted Beck's chin. Her voice was thick and hoarse. Becky gulped.

"What were you thinking when you just said 'yes' to him and went out with him?" -- Freen asked again. Getting no answer was making her angrier.

"Or is that how you are? You give up so easily and go out with people just like that?" -- She asked again. Becky just stared.

"Or do you secretly want him? Is that why you just left secretly? All that resistance in front of everyone is just a drama only?" -- Freen was being too much and it hit Becky hard. She felt guilty. She knew that what she did was wrong. But she was not ready to take the insult or the accuses. She stood up.

"Where do you think you are going? Answer me." -- Freen gripped her hand and held her back.

" Why should I answer you? Just who do you think you are Ms. Freen? " - Becky's voice raised as she fumed in anger.
