For Her

Chapter 4: Charles Bason

{CHARLES BASON}

I was leaving my hotel room while my phone rang. It was Patrick and I knew why he called me. I picked up the call and before he could say anything I said, "Yes Patrick, I left the hotel and I am going to meet the producer right now. I am going to reach before time, don't you worry!" Patrick in a hyped tone replied, "Charles I hope you know that the producer won't entertain you if you are late. We have to sign the deal with him today, okay?"  I chuckled and replied "Yes we will. Also before I forget I got an invitation, and my cousin is getting married here so I want you to postpone my tickets back to home for a few weeks." I hung up the call as I got in an elevator. As I went down two floors, the elevator opened. There was a beautiful girl standing right in front of me talking over phone and holding some files in her hand. She was tall, fair, had blue eyes and black hair. I am sure she was star struck seeing me, her eyes wide opened staring at me for few seconds. But she entered the elevator and stood right in front with her back facing me. I just couldn't take my eyes of her for a minute while she was standing right there acting to not recognize me. But her face was very expressive and she was just blushing. I started looking back to my phone, acting to text Patrick when the lift stopped with a jerk. Before I could understand anything, the girl started panicking. She looked at me and started shouting for help on the speaker. I tried rubbing her back and calming her down. She was very scared and her innocent eyes melted me down. I tried making conversations with her to distract her from the situation. I was trying to calm her down when we heard a voice over the speaker, "We are really very sorry for the inconvenience...but the technician is here and the lift will start soon." hearing the voice her eyes were wide open...like she heard a dead man speaking. She is no more panicking. She knew the person and she was sure that the same person had stopped the elevator on purpose. I couldn't understand what was happening with her. Who was the man? Why would he do anything to her? How did she know him? I was so confused. But before I could ask her anything the elevator started working and reached the ground floor. She ran out of the elevator and soon out of my vision. I wanted to follow her but I was late.  I had to rush to meet the producer, Jack Anderson.

As I reached the production office, the receptionist told me that the producer was running late and I had to wait for some time. I went to the waiting room and picked up a magazine. As I was reading the magazine, from the corner of my eyes I saw a man sitting beside me.

"Hey, I am Damien Shaw, I am a friend with of Jack Anderson." The guy next to me introduced himself. He already knew my name so he continued, "I know you are Charles Bason, I heard you are coming up with your new song, are you here to sign a deal with Jack for the new song?" I wondered why he was taking so much interest in me, so I just politely nodded my head. "I really like your songs and I am excited for your new song." he continued speaking, I smiled at him, still thinking why is he becoming so friendly to me. But he still continued talking, "I really wish good luck to you, but do not sign a deal with Jack in any case, call me and I can arrange you a meeting with John Carter." and he handed me his business card. As he said that, my eyes were wide open. I was staring at his business card with confusion and shock. It mentioned 'Antique House' with a shop's address and Damien's name and number on the corner of the card. Just then the receptionist called me in for the meeting.

My meeting with Jack Anderson was great, but I could only think about John Carter then and as I came out of the meeting room I couldn't find Damien anywhere. I found it strange when I didn't see him anywhere. I couldn't stop thinking about what he said and I wondered how he knew John Carter. Who would not love to work with John Carter? I thought to myself. So I took my phone out and messaged Damien, "Can you arrange me a meeting with John Carter- Charles Bason" within a few minutes he replied, "Tomorrow 10 pm at Katherine Page's party. I am sure you know the address."  I did have many questions about this guy now. Why would he ask me to come to Kate's party to meet John Carter? Who is he? Where did he disappear?  But this was my only opportunity to work with John Carter and I couldn't let it go. So I messaged Patrick "I will be going to Kate's party tomorrow."
