Secret lovers

"oh no! Oh no!!!" She screamed more like a whisper.

"Please don't!" She held the air with force like she was holding a real human being.

"Cut!!" The judge yelled abruptly

Paige stood still and looked at the director.

"What role are you given again, Miss Williams?"

"The female lead sir," she answered with politeness

"Oh, the female lead, right. I thought the role you are to play was a seductress cause you are acting like one,"

"I will try harder sir,"

"Yeah, try harder." He scowled at her giving shiver down her spines.

"Oh no! Oh no!!" Paige started acting. She needed to impress the director and the remaining unfamiliar judges.

But to her expectations, only the director didn't like her acting at all.

Only to the director's eyes, acts like a fool on stage.

"Okay, okay, cut!!!" The director yelled and the other judges looked at him.

"But we see nothing wrong with her acting, she is good," the judge beside the director said.

"Who is the director here? Is it you or me, you are the Ass.manager. So shut up!!" He commanded having a face like thunder.

"You are not fitted for this play. If you wanna be an actress, a seductive actress would be better," he yelled at her.

Paige just stood there with her head bowed like a total failure. Geez!

"Now get the hell outta here, you are so irritating,"

Paige walked away almost instantly. She was almost in tears and also upset, not with the manger, but upset with herself.

She shouldn't have participated in the role but trying was the best.

The director only got sent her away cause she declined to his offer to be an actress. He asked for s*x with her, but she declined without hesitation.

Since then the director would stop at nothing to kick her out of her acting career, but now he succeeded.

"How wonderful," Paige muttered.

She took her phone from her back pocket and dialed Shelby's digits.

"Shelby?"

"Hey babe," Shelby answered. She was damn busy with her manicure. "So...how did it go?"

"Bad," Paige replied.

"I knew that director b@stard would do something stupid,"

"And he did. He is really a b@stard."

"So, what are you gonna do now?"

"I was thinking of trying again with the diva's restaurant,"

"Good girl!" Shelby exclaimed. "Now you have come to your right senses. You just picked the right thing."

"Not all people can be rich. Well, mind me, we are both middle class girls, we are not like that rich asshole, Sasha, who would give up her enlarged p*ssy for some dollars,"

"Should I come pick you up or vice versa?" Shelby asked.

Paige looked at the deserted road and sighed softly.

"Come pick me up. No taxi over here,"

"Great! I will be there in 10 minutes, and I will be sure bit to ruin my mani's. They are so precious to me," Shelby muttered taking a look at her coloured fingernails.

"Just be here,"

"Sir, this are the documents," his secretary gave him the documents for the arrival of the new food industry,"

"Cancel my deal with them,"

"Sir?!"

"I don't repeat myself Simeon."

"Okay sir,"

She walked out of his office.

Boss man twirled and picked up the already done document on his table.

He stood up looking going it. He skimmed and did nothing else but to walk around.

He stopped and looked at his wristwatch.

He smirked.

****

"Woahhh..." Paige stared at the television in amusement.

She was admiring the man on the television who was walking around with heavily built guards around him.

"Who?" Shelby asked.

"Him," she pointed to the handsome looking man walking with guards around him.

"Um, that's probably Aaron. Mr Aaron Lee, the second son of the richest multi billionaire in the world,"

"Whoaa, that's cool,"

"Actually, he isn't that cool. Have you ever made encounter with his brother Ryan Lee, he is the coolest out of the coolest. He is rich tycoon, a multi billionaire and the most handsome man I have ever seen,"

"Wow,"

"But he is addicted to his work, he is dedicated to business. I don't think I like him for that,"

"What do you expect from a rich man? All they care about is business and nothing else,"

"But, I prefer Aaron. He is cool,"

"I wish I was a billionaire," Paige muttered.

"Oh, there he is,"

"Who?"

"Look at that man coming out of that side," Shelby pointed to the man coming out of the other parked car.

"That incredibly handsome man, is that the Ryan?"

"Yeah. He is awesome in everything. But I can never have him as boyfriend, I will so feel bored staying with him,"

"Yeah, who doesn't know the great and mighty Shelby. When fun is included in her curriculum vitae, she isn't completed," Paige chuckled and she pout her lips.

"So...when do you plan to visit Madame. You know how she can be. I might not be working there, buh I know who she is,"

Paige sighed softly and stomped her head on the cushion.

"That b@stard is the cause of all this nonsense. I will go tomorrow. If she doesn't employ me, then I am ruined. Ruined forever,"

She muttered.

"Madame may be brutal and annoying but I am sure she have a kind heart." Shelby said.

"Yeah, great of you to know her characteristics," Paige teased.

"your name?" She asked.

"Paige Williams"

She looked at paige from her toes to her head, she was in formal clothes. She was only trying to impress Madame by wearing formal outfit like this.

It looked too attractive to Madame.

"I don't like the outfit. It's too attractive. This is a restaurant not a club. I don't want the female customers complaining of you attracting their boyfriends or husbands. So no attractive or formal clothes like this,"

"I get that ma'am,"

"And yeah, no makeup. I hate makeup. Number two thing that chases customers away. If you are in too much makeup, the customers would feel so disgusted and they wouldn't wanna pay up. So no makeup,"

"Okay ma'am,"

Paige couldn't get that rule of no- makeup right.

"How can there be no make-up. Madame must be so lame and boring," Paige muttered to herself.

"What's that?" Madame asked frowning visibly.

"Nothing," she said chuckling.

"No muttering stuffs to yourself. I don't want my customers freaking out,"

"Okay ma'am," she replied with a smile.

"No much smiles. Too much smiles terrify the customers,"

"Okay Madame," she replied with a bow. She still doesn't get it. How does this woman get her customers when her staffs are to do things that attracts customers?

"You have to go to the counter, get measured..."

"Measured?" Paige cut her off.

"For the uniform,"

"Oh!" She mouthed.

"You will find a girl behind the counter, she will give you your exact size of uniform. And learn from her. She is quite serious,"

Paige forced a smile and walked away. She checked her SMS before walking to the counter. She met a girl sitting behind the counter.

"Madame must be kidding me! How does she expect me to dress like her." She muttered to herself.

The girl behind the counter was busy picking up marbles on the floor. But her dress look quite stupid and unreasonable. The dress is normally beautiful but this girl here made it look like it's made of a total shaggy wool.

"Hey!" Paige called.

The girl stopped what she was doing to look who was calling her.

"Hey!" She answered.

She was wearing oversized glasses but she still look pretty.

"I am here to collect my...um... uniform? I guess,"

"Paige right?"

"Yeah,"

"Madame told me about you. Welcome to the diva's restaurant,"

"Yeah...sure...I would like to take my measurements already,"

"Yes. Common,"

She walked out of the counter passing the other side. She picked up the measuring tape. She took measures and suddenly chuckled loudly.

"What?"

"You are a figure eight,"

"Figure eight?"

"That means you have big bust and a big ol' booty,"

"You should learn how to filter your mouth,"

"Yeah, I am trying that."

She walked back to the counter.

"Unlike me. I have got a spherical shaped body."

"Meaning?" Paige asked with a grin.

"I am fat- thin,"

"Paige Chuckled and she gave her the uniform

"This is the uniform. And yes, try impressing Madame. She likes it when her workers impresses her."

"And in the old fashioned way right? No make-up, no beautiful dresses,"

"And no too much smiles, she is usually afraid of seduction."

"Okay, I get that,"

"Sure,"

"And what's your name?" Paige asked the girl and she smiled awkwardly.

"You wouldn't wanna know,"

"Common, as far as it is less embarrassing. It's okay,"

"I t's so embarrassing,"

"Tell me,"

"Maloney,"

"But that's a nice name or more like a surname,"

"Yeah that's the problem. My parents named me that out of an idea,"

"Oh," Paige mouthed.

"Maloney?!!" Madame called Maloney who quickly ran to her.

"Yes Madame?"

"Stop talking with the newbie and go do your work. They are already customers,"

"Sure ma'am,"

Paige counted the waiter and waitresses with her eyes.

'1, 2, 3, and 4. Just four waiter and waitresses?'

She walked up to Madame in a weird way and in a weird smile.

"Madame, are they any bonuses in this job?"

Madame looked at her and smiled.

"Serving the customers is a bonus for you, now get your ass out of her and come back here tomorrow morning prepared for work," she teased and Paige chuckled softly.

She just made fun of herself.

She walked out of the restaurant slowly. She held her phone and looked around trying to find connection.

She walked further trying to look for connection.

"Ughh!! Why are connections so slow, GOSH! I have to call Shelby!" She muttered.

She turn around to check the other side instead her arm hits someone passing. Her phone fell down and broke badly.

"Oh my gosh!!"

She bent to pick it up.

"Are you okay ma'am?" She heard a masculine voice. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. She looked up and the sun beamed in her eyes. She wasn't able to see the man clearly.

"Are you okay?" The man asked again.

She blinked twice and everything became clear.

She saw the man looking at her with care, he wanted to help her.

Instead of taking his lending hand, she became lost in the beautiful figure talking to her.

She locked eyes with a set of beautiful green eyes, curvy pink lips, pointed nose, well-shaped jawline

She has never seen anyone as beautiful as this guy standing before her. The guy was wearing a hoodie which wasn't revealing his hair

The guy quickly grabbed a mask from his back pocket and covered his face with it.

"Hey," the guy called snapping her out of her fantasy.

"Um, um?" She answered blinking her lashes rapidly.

"Are you okay?" He asked again.

She looked at her phone and her face formed a terrifying expression.

She got lost in some guy handsomeness that she forgot about her broken phone.

"No I am not!!" She exclaimed standing in such a rough way that even her head hit his nose.

"Ow!!"

"I am so not okay. You broke my 100 dollars phone, I am but okay, till I get my compensation,"

"But you were the careless one. You weren't watching where you were heading to,"

"Oh! Now you are blaming me?" She asked pointing to herself.

"I am not blaming you, I am just advising you to be careful next time, that's it,"

"Be...be careful next time?" She scoffed.

"Yes, I think that would be helpful,"

"How dare you," she scoffed at him again.

She could swear she knew his face somewhere. Somewhere she couldn't remember.

"You will have to compensate for the damages you cause,"

"Damages?" He scoffed.

"Yeah, the damages of my phone. Common pay up,"

"I have no cash on me," he said wanting to get away.

She quickly held his clothes not allowing him to leave.

"You are one strange girl," he muttered.

"Oh, you wanna see strange?" She asked holding his shirt tightly.

The people walking were just staring at the two people doing their madness on the streets.

[Are they couples]

[Gosh, the man is so shameless, he should give the woman what she wants]

[I pity the man]

The people passing by were giving comments but this stubborn girl wouldn't just let go,"

"Oh please, let me go,"

"I want my compensations,"

"But I have no cash on me," he cried.

"That's non of my biz!"

"Wait, isn't that your money on the floor," he pointed to the bare floor. He was trying to escape the crazy girl.

He ran away Immediately, the minute Paige saw him running away, she also pursued him.

"Hey, come back here and let me know you!!!" She yelled chasing after the man who didn't give up on running.

The man stood for a while to breathe in and out after so much running.

He saw the witchy girl still running after him.

"Ugh! Doesn't she gets tired?" He groaned and continue running.

"Come back here for my compensation, and let me Jill you already," she ran after him. The two of them picked up a hot chase.

After some minutes of running, she finally gives up.

She sat on the floor breathing in and out.

"I so remember your face, I will make sure you pay for my broken phone if you like it or not." She said tightening her fist.

_____________

"Some guy did this to your phone?" Shelby asked her friend in shock.

"Yeah and he didn't even compensate for it. He just ran away and made me run after him, but I swear if I catch him, I will make him pay, I will squeeze his damn handsome face and make sure to burn it,"

"Handsome?" Shelby squeaked.

"Yeah hand...wait a minute, what do you mean by !handsome! with a squeak?" She asked folding her arms furiously.

"You know how much I love handsome hits," she said and Paige hit her arm.

"Concentrate here Shelby, I am talking about a guy who shamelessly made a girl run,"

"But the main thing is, he is handsome,"

"Shelby!!!"

Shelby raised her arms up surrendering to her friend.

"Sorry."

"And what did you do," Aaron asked with a giggle.

"I ran for my life, she is like a lioness running after me,"

"So, you made a woman run,"

"Yeah. If I had to wait, she would had embarrassed me and probably take off my disguise,"

"And you will be bursted," Aaron said giggling.

"Stop giggling,"

"First day you talk about a girl with great seriousness. Is she pretty?"

"Pretty!!!" He groaned "yeah, yeah, sure she is pretty and also a lioness,"

"You should have given her what she wanted,"

"How can I give her money? Should I just go to her by saying 'hey don't worry, I can report your phone, here is my black card' maybe then I could be bursted!"

"You did the right thing by running,"

"Thank you,"

Ryan sat on the couch with his arms folded.

"So, are you still going back to the place?" Aaron asked smiling at his brother.

"No way. I don't want to make encounter with a beautiful witch in disguise,"

"So... you won't go to town?"

"Yeah, for a while after making sure she is gone completely,"

"Big brother...." Aaron sat beside him smiling like an idiot.

"What did you want Aaron?"

"The files. You would be staying at home for some time which is good, you can also help me with the documents."

"Not gonna happen,"

"Oh please, I want to make it up to my girlfriend and I really needed the greatest time I could get."

"Oh, little miss sassy. You wanna make it up to her by you what? Smiling widely at her or giving her houses?"

"Yes, that's a great idea. She would forgive me if I give her two to three magnificent houses,"

"You are so stupid,"

"Do not blame me, I am like my brother, so, will you help me,"

"That's still a no,"

"I know you are just kidding,"

"I am not,"

"The documents will be in your cupboard, don't tear it off like you did the last time,"

"Watch me,"

The telephone rings and Aaron ran to pick it up.

The next day....

Paige buttoned up the shirt of the uniform. She sat on the couch and picked up her flats. She wore them and stood up on her feet.

She loosened her hair flipping them aside in a beautiful way.

She applied her lip gloss and powders on her face before picking up her bag.

"I am ready for some work," she said to herself.

Her phone rings twice. She checked the caller's ID before picking up.

"Hey darling," she heard Shelby's soft voice.

"Shelby?"

She looked at the digits on her phone and placed the phone on her ear.

"Is this your new number?"

"Yeah, it's mine." Shelby replied softly.

"Hold on a second, are you still on bed?"

"Yeah, I am f*cking tired," she muttered.

"But it 8:19 in the morning,"

"Yeah, that's the problem. It's still so early,"

Paige sighed softly.

"You preparing for work," Shelby asked slowly.

"Yeah, already prepared."

"Want me to pick you up?"

"No, I'll take a cab,"

"Sure, video call, I need to see your face,"

Paige cut off the call and put it on video call.

She saw the sleeping girl on the bed.

Shelby eyes suddenly widened.

"Why, what happened, what's with the shocking expression.

"Wow girlfriend, I am so jealous of your face,"

"Uh, what, what do you mean by that?"

"Girl, you are beautiful!"

Paige chuckled.

"I am damn serious, you are one hot girl, but Madame won't allow all these,"

"But I didn't apply so much make-up, just some powder and lipstick, that's all,"
