Look At Me (Completed)

CHAPTER 5: We broke up

MARK’s POV

It is morning and I am in bad trip. Gareth showed me the trailer of Cassie’s movie before he went home. I saw the love scene, it was intense. I thought it was just a kiss but no. It was a three letter word which starts with S and ends with X. I bet you know what I am talking about. So I called Cassie up and we had a fight over the phone resulting into a cool-off. She was the one who asked for it so I gave it to her. I am terribly pissed off like I can’t smile even to the jokes of Ellen De Generes and Wanda Sykes. My auntie who was at the house made me watched her show. They were all laughing and I was not. According to them, the look of my face was scary. I don’t want to call anyone right now. I don’t want to waste my time cancelling my surprise to Cassie. Let them prepare and wait for a star until their eyes dry up and hate her so much. Anyway, I reserved her favorite restaurant and ordered the staffs to prepare for Cassie’s arrival like, I want all area to be cleaned up but leaving just only one table with two chairs covered with white fabric and with extravagant white roses’ arrangement on top of the table. A white grand piano must be present at the side and our surroundings must be filled up by white and pink roses. There’s a need to have spotlight on stage that will serve as the floor for our sweet dance while the rented orchestra plays her favorite instrumental, Canon in D. But instead of reserving the place in my name, I have put Cassie’s name. The venue, food, the orchestra and the flower arrangement are not yet paid. I know vengeance is wrong but what she did too was also wrong even worse than what I am going to do. I know I am so harsh and close-minded when I am angry.

I was like a crazy dumb ass staring at the window for more than two hours while sitting on the sofa talking to myself. My auntie Lexan offered me food but I was not in the mood to eat. I suddenly shouted at her when she was insisting me to eat, “I said, I don’t like!” with annoying look on my face. She got scared and ran away from me. After few minutes more I remembered something, “Oh men I have contract signing.” I quickly stood and ran to the bathroom and washed my face. I changed my clothing until beat, I don’t know the exact time of the contract signing. I called up the company and Guila’s secretary answered. She said that the contract signing will start in less than fifteen minutes. Like what! The travelling hours from our house to their company is thirty minutes. How am I going to overtake the flow of time? So what I did was, ran fast to my motorcycle and drove fast. I was swaying on the road, moving away from the traffics and ignoring the street lights. I was a law breaker at that time and it was fun. I arrived at NIIC just in time.

The moment when I entered into the building lobby, I had met Guila’s furious eyes at me. I was not in good mood as well so I looked at her with an annoyed face. I looked at my right and there I saw the Chairman, Mr. Chui. From an annoyed face, I forced a smile and greeted him. He greeted back at me saying, “Hello Louis.”

WHAATT? He knows me?

He must have read my shocking expression. He next said, “I knew you from the moment you walked into the conference room last night. Let’s go.”

The Chairman and I walked together to the signing seats. Anyway, there were news press and they were shocked to see me. I can hear their murmurs like, “Is he Cassie Bridgestone’s boyfriend?” “He’s familiar. Wait, is he Louis Carter?” “Why is he here? That is Louis Carter.”

People will surely know you when they see you with a celebrity. I had a semi-private life before. I had few pictures on the net but when I got into a relationship with Cassie, the world knows me. Now I feel annoyed but this feeling that I am feeling maybe brought up by my exasperation towards Cassie.

GUILA’s POV

Unfortunately, I had to sit beside the inventor. I don’t know why, but as I see his face I feel infuriated. I feel like something bad will always happen to me when he is around.
