Secrecy of Regrets

48- Hungry Gorilla & Horrible Actors

48- Hungry Gorilla & Horrible Actors

"What???" Alex screamed over call.

"Wait what?" I forgot about Jack!!

My bad...

"Okay... Focus guys. I said if and only if this plan doesn't work, we'll see. And Jack you will not be spared. Now get back to whatever we were at." - with that I turned around dramatically (due to my super undercover agent role)  only to collide with statue - very stupid statue.

I know it was not normal but I eyed that statue angrily because I had mission to accomplish people and things just got in between my way!!!

Suddenly I found so much interest in that not so finest statue seeing Ethan and Jack coming in my direction.
"Ethan!" - I never heard Jack so excited (I mean fake excited) and as always Ethan didn't get that excitement. Ethan looked at the direction Jack was pointing and I hurriedly entered into the shop with some of the accessories of that statue.

On my way back into the shop I heard Ethan sulking "Jack, you got to be kidding me!!!..."

After making sure Jack and Ethan went towards cafe, I let out breath of relief. Just add into my bucket of problems, a salesman came to me seeing me with all those accessories.

"Ohh no, I m not a fan of these accessories." But only if  that over enthusiastic salesman could know. He greeted me with that fake delighted smile - you know to please their customers!

Before he could start thinking me as his potential customer and his commission, I had to interrupt him.
"Okay, so these accessories were on the floor, may be of that stu- I mean the statue. Keep it. You are welcome." I cannot just confess that I was the reason for that statue to abandon its accessories...

I saw his faded smile (He was back to his normal) and sprinted off the shop to my next hiding spot.

"Oh My God! Tell her I saw Ethan!" I heard Charlotte almost screaming in Alex's earpiece.

"Alex be ready and don't look like terrified school boy who forgot to do homework of the rudest teacher. Alex hold her hand and take her shopping bags."

I gave instructions like a pro head officer of CIA but Alex didn't even answer me. I had to raise my voice.

"Alex I swear I'll throw your Costings notebook in the artificial swimming pool you made at your rented house and I'll inform it to your Landlord."

"Okay okay. I m doing it. You don't have to give me that extreme threat geez Jiyana." Alex sulked over my threat and try to be calm with his inner turmoil. And I heard faint chuckle I m sure was of Jack's.

I ignored that and ordered Alex - "Do it now."

"I think you are not playing matchmaking here. You are practically harrasing me. And I shouldn't have shared that Artificial Swimming pool thing in first place - you traitor." I heard Alex sigh in frustration.

Not my fault. He shared it in a good faith especially to bost upon his talent. And I used it in a bad faith (I don't know if that is even a  word.)

"But you love me and this oh so great personality. So concentrate." I said.

"No I don't."

"Yes you do and you have to as long as your notes are in my possession. And shut up."  I heard Jack coughing. It was fake, I can tell.

I looked at Ethan as they finally get a place to stick their ass. Ethan was seriously going through each and every items of menu. And I thought his eyes would search every chick he can flirt with.

"Jack can you give a quick order for hungry gorilla set across you? So he can notice the most important thing in his life." I couldn't help it. I saw and heard Jack again coughing. 
What did he wanted to say was beyond me.

I turned my attention back to Alex - " And you - the rented , most horrific actor of the year, ask a lady to carry her shopping bags please.  "

I seriously felt like directing a movie scene there. It was indeed a scene but the actors I got were the worst actors.

For split movement I caught eyes with Jack's. He was looking at me knowing I was hiding behind the escalator and seeing right through his eyes my heart skipped a bit
... That was soo dramatic.

"A cup of black coffee and-" Jack was interrupted by Ethan. Not surprising even a bit.

"And a cheesy Garlic pasta please." Ethan and his choice of food.

"Black coffee." I couldn't help but gag on hearing that Black Coffee.

"Jiyana I m not ordering Black coffee. Please allow me to order food of my choice please." I forgot again that this dumb was on call.

How could this man manage to think that everything I say on call is meant for him? We were on conference call for God's sake!!

"Shut Up."

"Shut Up Alex."

There was no surprise we maintained our rule of speaking same things at same time.

Okay Wattpaders...

This is not the way to upload a chapter. I know. A writer should update regularly. I got time but not computer and laptop. I m going through this no computer or laptop phase of life. As desktop computer is stuck in furniture work and my laptop has abandoned me long time ago.
I have my phone to pull me out of the misery.

So here it is. The new chapter!!!!

I know Jiyana was on verge of pulling her hair or may be of Alex's or Ethan's...

Let's see in next chapter if the gorilla notice Charlotte or not.

Till then enjoy this short chapter.

Happy Reading...
