Meghan Bates is 'The Most', would be an understatement, well known fashion designer in the country, a self-made name in the industry but is she all that she is letting out to the paparazzi or is there more?
What will happen when she is challenged, h...
Meghan had a fitful sleep last night after she returned from the wedding that dint happen. It was a lazy morning and she needed time to wrap her head around things so she narrowed down her morning activity to washing vessels, it was like therapy to her.
As she mindlessly moved on with her chores, Wilsons words resurfaced her thoughts, Thank god you mean, he had said. She knew that there was always a sexual tension when the two of them were closer, a charged attraction but nothing more. He was arrogant and self-centered and she did not want all of that, definitely not all over again.
''Snap out ma lady'', Steve had dropped by to deliver some pieces.
''You look tired, is it yesterday's events Meghan?'', Steve grabbed a few washed dishes and dried them with a cloth.
''Ya, I mean no, I mean I don't know, ugh'', Meghan stared at Steve.
''Why do you have to scream out my thoughts to bring them to my notice'', she rubbed the vessels a little more forcefully.
''Better than avoiding them Meghan, tell me what's bothering you'', Steve asked concerned.
''I don't know, the wedding, Wilson all of it practically'', she let the towel go.
''Yeah, I agree, yesterday was something, but you know he's all over the tabloids today'', Steve passed Meghan a copy which had Wilson's beautiful face as its front page.
'The yummy bachelor of Seattle stays!' the page read.
''Eww! who writes this way anymore, what are we, living in forties. Whatever it is, not sure we should be much bothered by it and I too should get over this wedding, Wilson is not good news anyways, not for me and not for anyone'', Meghan rolled her eyes and dumped the tabloid into the bin.
Soon there was a call from a reporter.
''Ms. Bates, Hi, I'm Clive, from Seattle's Juicy Gossip, I was curious you know, you did the event's dresses and attended the wedding, you must know what exactly happened, could you please meet with us and give us some deet's'', the reporter gushed.
''No and no, I don't not appreciate such calls, thank you'', Meghan cut the call.
''The dig for gossip begins'', Steve laughed.
This is how these papers worked, try getting in touch with the victim and if that doesn't work start harassing the acquaintances.
''You should have seen this coming your way Meghan, you're gonna have to deal with many more of them'', and Steve was right. The rest of the day passed by in answering random calls from reporters, magazine writers, free lancers and by dinner time, Meghan was so exhausted that she switched off her cell phone.
Wilson was pacing around his living room.
''Sir, a cup of tea'', Ross asked.
''No Ross, just leave and let only Caleb disturb me, I'm in my study'', Wilson walked away.
''Yes sir'', Ross left for the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The doors of the elevator dinged and Skylar scurried across the living room.
''Where is Wilson'', She asked Ross.
''The study madam, but he has instructed no one to disturb him while he is at it'', Ross mentioned.
''Really let's see who stops me'', as soon as she moved away there was a ding on the elevator and she turned, it was Caleb.
''Sky'', Caleb quickly analyzed the situation from the looks of Ross, pulled Sky into a hug and pecked at her cheeks.
''Everything alright'', he asked.
''Oh don't act so innocent, I know you were with him in this, why set up a stage for something that was never happening. Do you have any idea how much of humiliation I've had to face from my family. To top it all off, the paparazzi has been on me like a leech'', Skylar sighed.
''It was for the best Sky, come I'll take you to Wilson'', they both walked towards the study.
''Mother'', Wilson glared at Caleb.
''Oh don't you give that look to him, not that I would leave without knowing about the mess you've created'', Skylar made herself comfortable on a couch and Caleb took a seat across the table.
''You two just seem to have no boundaries at all. All that embarrassment and for what Wilson, let you go with no explanation my foot and besides you know how upset Susanne has been too. Care to explain or forget I even existed'', she spat.
''I'm going to keep this very short, Diana had an affair, I caught her red handed with some proofs and I ended the marriage'', Wilson explained frustrated.
''That would have been a reasonable explanation from someone else in this situation, not you. Don't think I don't know what goes in that head of yours. But whatever, are you planning to get married soon, I have some girls in mind'', Skylar smiled. Wilson groaned at his mother, he was literally dreading this conversation with her and now here she was forcing all sorts of her ideas on him. What he would give to escape right now.
''Ross, take her out'', Wilson buzzed Ross from the intercom.
''You forget that I'm your mother'', Skylar scoffed and left the study.
Wilson directed his attention towards Caleb,
''Did you try getting an appointment with Jacques'', he asked.
''Yes, tomorrow, 3 am, Diana wanted to have a word with you too, she said you weren't responding to her calls'', Caleb smirked.
''Like she deserves it, I'll have a word with both of them at the meeting tomorrow'', he concluded not wanting to hear another word about her.
''Anything else'', Caleb sipped some tea for a change.
''Yes, umm, did Meghan try and get in touch with you, you know for the payment'', Wilson shrugged and Caleb understood there was something cooking.
''What's up'', he asked.
''What do you mean'', Wilson rolled his eyes at Caleb, knowing where he was going with this question.
''You never care for such payments directly, Lisa must have done the needful, you know that'', Caleb eyed Wilson curiously.
''Inform Lisa, not to direct any sort of payment to the boutique, I will deal with that myself'', Wilson busied himself reading a contract.
''You know you could always come clean'', Caleb smiled.
