Sebastian watched the two women leave the office. Kylie’s last words were still ringing inside his head. How dare she get excited to meet another man? A surge of jealousy burned his chest.
“Where is the shooting with Alan scheduled today?” he asked with a frown. Paul hid his laugh by faking a cough. He couldn’t believe his eyes that his stone-hearted boss was feeling jealous of a model for his contractual wife. Though she was his first love still he hated her for four years. And this was his first time seeing Sebastian so desperate. After clearing his throat, Paul replied to his boss.
“It’s an outdoor shooting for a waterproof watch. So they are shooting it in the swimming pool of our seven-star hotel and then on the beach,” Paul replied.
“Does it mean Alan will be naked during shooting?” Sebastian asked, his frown turned to a scowl by then.
“Of course not, he will be wearing a swimming trunk,” Paul replied and realized that he practically made his boss angrier.
“Why would they need to shoot a watch commercial in a swimming pool? It can be done in the rain, wearing a suit,” Sebastian mumbled angrily. Paul wanted to say that the idea was from the creative team but then stopped himself. He didn’t want the creative team to be jobless.
“Drive me to the shooting spot,” Sebastian said and started walking to the elevator without waiting for Paul. After seeing that his boss was almost on the elevator, Paul ran faster to join him.
“But Mr. Smith what about your international conference?” Paul asked scratching his neck. He was confused by this sudden change in his boss.
“Reschedule it with an online meeting,” Sebastian replied abruptly. Paul didn’t dare to utter another word; so he just nodded curtly.
At the swimming pool of a luxurious hotel…..
“I can’t believe my luck, I will be able to see the perfect body of Alan with my naked eyes,” Cindy exclaimed to Kylie.
“Stop drooling over him he has dated more than a hundred girls till now,” Kylie said rolling her eyes. She regrets the moment she became friends with this dumb girl who lives in her dreams.
“I won’t mind becoming his hundred-and-one number girlfriend if I get to touch the body under that robe,” Cindy said indicating the handsome man resting in the chair near the pool in a bathrobe. Both Kylie and Cindy were standing on the opposite side of the vast pool, waiting for the director to start the shooting soon. What they didn’t notice was a jealous man standing not far away from them fuming in anger.
Seeing the state of his boss, Paul thought of an idea and called a crew member from the set. Paul whispered something in the girl’s ear and pointed towards Kylie. The girl nodded to him and walked to Kylie.
“Miss Johnson, we need you to check the display product in the indoor room. Would you mind coming with me?” the girl asked politely to Kylie.
“Sure, why not,” Kylie replied after sighing over her friend who was still drooling for Alan. Just as Kylie turned, her heels stuck on the poolside trench drain cover. She faltered and then fell into the pool with a loud thud. Everyone present there rushed to the poolside and heard a loud cry from Kylie.
“Help! Help!” Kylie shouted trying hard to keep herself from drowning. Sebastian remembered that Kylie couldn’t swim. He made fun of this in their college life. He rushed to the pool and was about to remove his shoes when someone jumped inside the pool to rescue Kylie.
When the person came out of the water with a fainted Kylie in his hands, everyone realized it was none other than Alan Muller. Though Sebastian was surprised too he ran faster to the stairs of the pool. Alan laid the passed-out Kylie on the poolside tiles. He was about to do CPR but Sebastian pushed him away with force.
“Keep your hands off her,” Sebastian warned Alan then checked Kylie’s vitals. He relaxed after realizing she was breathing normally. He patted her cheeks a few times and Kylie opened her eyes with a continuous cough.
“Are you okay?” Sebastian asked with a worried voice. Kylie just nodded her head in affirmation.
“How can you be so lousy? Can’t you even see where are you walking?” he scolded her the next second. Soon two crew members came with dry towels. Sebastian Wrapped them around her body and helped her stand.
“Ouch!” Kylie yelped in pain and grabbed her legs.
“I think she sprained her ankle. Let me help her,” Alan offered after observing Kylie from afar. He had already changed into a new robe.
“Are you a doctor?” Sebastian asked with a scowling face.
“No, I am not but I…..”
“If you are not then keep your stupid mouth shut,” Sebastian roared. Cindy came forward and held Kylie giving her support.
“Take her to the changing room,” Sebastian told to Cindy. She curtly nodded and took away the limping Kylie from there. Sebastian then turned to Paul; as if he understood what his boss wanted to say, Paul reported quickly.
“I have already called a doctor she is waiting in the presidential suite for Miss Kylie to arrive,” Paul said, making sure to not spill out the surname Mrs. Smith.
“My, my, my, what have I missed? I remember the last time we met you hated women,” Alan retorted with a mischievous grin.
“None of your business, you mutt,” Sebastian shoved him off angrily.
“It is my business. I want to ask her out for a date,” said Alan making Sebastian stop in his place.
“If I remember clearly then she is not your type,” said Sebastian impatiently.
“She’s beautiful and that made her totally my type. And seeing how you reacted a while ago for her, made me intrigued to get to know her personally,” Alan winked at him.
“Keep your dirty games to yourself. She won’t be falling for those tricks,” Sebastian scoffed.
“Are you sure? No girl had told me NO till now,” Alan ran his fingers through his silky hair dancing his brows. Sebastian frowned, he remembered when he heard Kylie was interested in him. She wouldn’t dare to go on a date with him by breaching their contract, right?
