“Mr Lake is an important person to me, you shall not speak to him that way!” She barked. “He is so important that you had to spill the wine over my head?” Andrew replied angrily as he cleaned the wine droplet with the napkin in his hand.“If you had chosen to work somewhere else, this would not have happened!” She barked at him. “It is your fault bad things keep happening to me,”“You place a random man over your fiance.”Her guts seemed to be growing larger each day and he was not having it.“Mr Lake is not a random man and stop sounding like you are better than him. Looking at the two of you right now. Anyone can tell that you are the random man when they take a look at the two of you.” she fired at him.“You should choose to be a cleaner backstage or an Uber driver if you do not have the skill to do a proper job.”“Anyone that knows we were engaged can literally come to the restaurant and see you are working here as a common waiter. That would be a slap on my face.”“You have it i

Back at Sunrise restaurant“While we wait for the food to come, should we discuss how I can meet Mr Nutmeg?” Olivia asked.She had hit the nail on the head because she had no time to waste, this project meant a lot to her.“I see that you are impatient about this, Ms Olivia, I will tell you since it is rude to keep a woman waiting.”“One of my friends works as backstage staff in the current movie he is shooting, I should be able to get you a pass to meet with him,” Evans said confidently.Olivia’s demeanor changed, she thought Evans knew him personally and would take her to Nutmeg himself.But he only knew a mere set staff that may not even have access to the actor himself.“Ah, I see.” She replied dryly. “You may give me the backstage pass.” Half was better than none. It would be better to try her luck one more time and try not to be rude like the last time.A different waiter got into the room with their food and served them. Olivia looked confused, she was expecting to see Andre

Chapter 55“Sir Andrew, can you hold things off till the train reaches its next stop,” Joe said.Andrew could hear him loud and clear through the earphones.“The Sweepers and exchange agents are going to be there to pick her up.”That was the reason for Andrew's trick Yaya was too calm for a mom who someone was posing to be the mother of their child.Anyone should be smart enough to see through her act and how she had framed the baby's mother.The woman palmed her mouth, letting out muffled tears from her mouth.“I can’t do that sir,"“She is the only one her father and I have got, Luke will be so disappointed to hear that I lost our baby on the metro line.”“He is waiting for us at our stop, excited to see his baby girl after one year of military service.”She burst out into more tearsEveryone in the train was starting to lean into the baby mom’s story and have doubts about Yaya.“Now, I am torn just like everyone else here.”Andrew said then he snapped his finger and signaled to J

Chapter 57With the backstage pass in her hand, Olivia nervously entered the film set where Jonathan was shooting his new blockbuster movie.She was smart enough to know that the backstage pass would take her now but she could not turn it down because that was the only option she had.Olivia was not the type to give up without trying.After waiting two hours in the back because Evans did not know any significant information about the timing of the shoot.Jonathan was walking away from the shooting area, Olivia took this as a cue to walk up to him.As soon as he saw her he paused in his tracks.“Good morning Mr Nutmeg.”Unlike the day she had seen him with Andrew.He was not scowling this timeHe looked welcoming to her.“Good morning, miss. I don’t think you introduced yourself the last time we met.”His tone towards her was different too, like he had a different impression about her.Maybe Evans pulled some strings for her but he did say the backstage pass was the only thing he had.

Andrew leaned back slightly, eyes unwavering as the three men shuffled the dice between their hands. The lady beside him stole another glance, lips pressed tight as though she were fighting the urge to speak. She had already warned him the only way she could, and watching him display such confidence only made her look more concerned.“Alright,” the first man, clearly the leader, said, rubbing his hands together. “Since you’re joining with real stakes, we’re switching it up. No more returns on double sixes." He smiled sharply. “From now on, every roll is elimination. One bad roll, and you’re out. Last man standing takes everything.”“That wasn’t the original rule,” Andrew responded mildly.“Well,” the third man shrugged, grinning. “High stakes require high risk. Isn’t that how the rich play?”Andrew smiled faintly, almost as though amused. “So be it.”The lady subtly shook her head. Her fingers curled against her knee in restrained frustration.They formed a circle on the cabin floor.
