Chapter 6 6 Not Tyler Gray

"I honestly don't know why I am kinda freaked out but I better not be making a mistake," Estella said as she walked out of her house with Norman's men dragging her small luggage "You know it contains only like 16 outfits, I don't see why you would want to carry it" she frowned at the man collecting it form her "Pffff! Whatever!!" She waved.

Even when relaxed in The limousine sent to carry her, Estella won't stop talking and making faces. The most annoying issue is that Norman had refused to say anything apart from his provoking statement of "You are doing great" and stay silent.

"I swear to God, Norman if you dare say 'you are doing great again" She gasped and rolled her eyes "I will push you out of the moving vehicle and jump out as well" she added.

"No wonder you lost your last job!"

Estella gasped! She looked at her fingers before chewing her nails one after the other and gave a burst of horrific laughter. One can say she looks like a psycho as she hasn't done her short hair that was still in a messy ponytail, her cheeks look red from the cold weather, her eyes are slightly open as she was still feeling sleepy and her mouth left wide open.

"I told you to relax and you are freaking out already!" Norman rolled his eyes avoiding her face.

"Freaking! Out!!!? Like are you for real or is this sort of a prank or part of the audition?" Estella looked around "Where is the Camera and why are we not moving yet!?".

"Matter of fact, I only said we would need to get to a neighboring country for a few practices and you are going boom!!!".

"Yesterday when we spoke at the boutique, you said we will be going for the final audition today noon by 2 pm before I fully commence the job only for me to get a call from you around 4:36 am to wake up and get to the door" Estella paused, breathing hard "I'm extremely mad because you didn't show up till 9 and you didn't bother to call back!" She frowned "At least a little explanation will help, dude!"

"I thought you might still be sleeping, Stella".

"Do you think I would still be sleeping after you called?" Estella crossed her arms and sat back in her seat "I need this job!".

"That's why you have to just keep shut".

Estella went absolutely silent for the next few seconds. It was like she was trying to understand what just happened or know if it actually happened real.

She took deep breaths, crossed her Index and middle finger together, and raised both palms to her face level still breathing hard. Her eyes shut close but her eyes and balls kept moving inside as she steadied her breath before she forced a smile on her face.

"Your face looks broken" Norman crooked his brows.

"Yeah I know" Estella replied immediately with her eyes still close "Thats the only thing stopping me from SCREAMING!!!" she screamed the last word and her eyes flicked open "Good thing I am in a good mood if not, I won't care of you are like a boss to me, I will...Urghhh!!" She groaned and clapped her palms together "I'm not the one!"

Norman stayed mute for a while not making a sound or moving. His lips formed an 'O' but no sound came out of his mouth as he slowly brought out his phone and began to scroll through it. He seems to be dialing a number as he held the phone with his left hand while his right hand fan his dry face.

"I think she can survive your parents" Norman started "Like my boots are literally on fire and it's such a miracle I have not been thrown out the window" He paused for a few seconds to stare at Estella then grinned "She probably has her red face at me and I can vouch that she is the right character for this job, Sir".

Estella's anger subsided as she listen to their conversation. Although she could hear only Norman even after she strain her ears so hard that they might have grown longer. Slowly, she kicked off her comfy sneakers and tucked her leg into the chair.

"She is good" Norman smiled at her "Her eyes as lovely as you said, her lips like...uhmmmm" he sighed "Her eyes as fierce as you had assumed and her tomatoes red face extremely beautiful without makeup" he added with a grim "Sir, we just found your bride!" He added.

Although the conversation was getting too good to ignore, the sleep burning in Estella's eyes couldn't let her. She just unpack her short hair and let it fall over her face, getting ready to curl into a ball, she gave Norman one last awkward stare and pouts.

"Sure you can," Norman said as he waved at her and answered his caller at the same time.

The conversation went on and on as if Estella was not around or she is just a perfect imaginary character without fault. By the time Norman dropped his phone into his front suit pocket, Estella had gone halfway to Paradise in her sleep.

He didn't seem to object as he slowly moved Little of her hair carefully off her face. He made sure his fingers weren't touching her so she won't wake up and a sweet smile appeared across his face as he glance at her beautiful sleeping face.

Her small pink lips were slightly parted as her very low snort can be heard. Her neck wasn't in a comfortable position and it was certain that she would suffer from back and neck pain after this long ride.

All things weird, Norman couldn't believe he stared at Estella's beautiful face till they got to their destination. A very poor hotel in the outcaste of the town.

"Stella!" Norman hushed her as he double-tapped her arm "Stella! Stella!! We have arrived" he said.

Like an automatic device, Estella's lazy eyes went wide open. She didn't need to act all so sleepy as she put on her shoes and tried to fix her hair with her fingers. With one assuring look from Norman, she attempted to open the door but it won't open.

"Child lock?!" Estella mused.

"We will wait here for my boss who is your husband to be" Norman bit his lower lips and looked away immediately.

He couldn't believe he almost blow the whole cover and the sleepy girl didn't notice. She was busy tapping her face to get fully awake while her foot tapped the floor of the car nervously as sweat broke out on her forehead.

"He knows that we are here already so he should be here in the next-"

The door opens and nothing seems to happen for the next few seconds. From Estella's angle, she noticed the person that opened the door is not the person that want to enter. He just stood as a figure nodding and saying lots of 'yes sirs' before moving aside.

No matter how Estella hates the way the person coming in had to slowly show them one leg of his nice shiny black shoes, she still want to see his face so she stayed still.

Simultaneously tapping her palms on her thighs a bit quietly as she noticed she had put on a pair of pink and black joggers, a hoodie, and white and pink sneakers. Her eyes went wide open as many thoughts began to run through her mind.

I bet I must look terrible! Do I still have my sleepy eyes? What if I fail the last test, will I have to refund the payment?

More awful things kept jumping up and down Estella's disturbed mind until the face of the person is finally revealed. Her jaw dropped as she blinked vigorously, trying to see if she was just hallucinating or if something strange had begun to mess up with her memory.

The fact that she literally dreamt about him last night and also read lots of things on the internet doesn't mean she should now see his face in real life too.

"Estella" the person smiled as he extended his hand for a handshake " My Estella" He moved closer.

stunned is an understatement as all Estella could do is take two deep steady breath, close her eyes then gradually open it to meet the same person.

"Tyler? Tyler Gray?".
