Saving The Billionaire Actor

Chapter 5

I sat the small kitchen counter with a plate of scrambled eggs and some freshly made orange juice. My shift was going to start a bit late today so I had a few hours to spare. I scrolled through my notifications looking for the latest _which of course had everything to do with Cairo_ while I chewed on my breakfast. Not that I was hoping to see more embarrassing videos of Cairo that had surfaced, no , I just had a habit of checking up on him. I didn't have his personal phone number _which even if I did, I’d never have the courage to call _ or anything so I obviously relied on the media to provide me with news about him.

There were no new videos about him and I was thankful for that .Everything that people were going off on was old news but even though there was nothing new , people still talked about him and started challenges to mock him even more .

However, it seemed that Cairo had fallen off the grid because it had been weeks since the media released something new.

Before everything started, the paparazzi used to talk his every movement, whether he was grabbing a quick bite, going for a jog or whatever. Even with his tight security, they always found a way.

Heather ,the girl who was lucky enough to work in one of his apartments and some times gave us the latest , was relieved of her job a few days ago.

Imagine my shock when it hit the news that Jared, his stepbrother and girlfriend were going out. I would’ve never thought that they'd do something like this. I guess they had us all fooled and to think I shipped Serena and Cairo so hard .

As if that wasn’t enough , just a few days ago , Cairo’s entertainment industry was transferred to Jared in an elaborate event in one of the most luxurious hotels here in California.

Everybody knew how much Cairo loved that agency. He built it on his own _ with his own money. There’s was absolutely no way he’d transfer something he worked so hard for to brother. They didn’t have any bad blood or anything but it just highly unlikely.

If something smelling fishy before, well it definitely was now .

I didn’t have any means of communicating with Cairo and I knew I could ask Ira for his number

But I was too shy and I probably would never call. Plus I doubted if he remembered me _ the timid girl from high school . People like Cairo met a lot of people on the daily .

I was left with only one option ; to sneak into Cairo’s mansion

Yes I was going to sneak into Cairo Rodriguez ‘s home

It was weird how instead of being nervous

I was rather giddy with excitement

This was going to be the first time I was going to be seeing him face to face in a long time and no I wasn’t going to confront him or anything. I was just going look at him from the shadows like always only this time I would be much closer.

They say love makes you do crazy things and I was the living proof of that statement because what I was planning to do was completely reckless.

But I wasn’t thinking straight enough to see that

I rushed up the stairs and into the building immediately I got out of the cab.

I quickly made my way to the signing room to sign in before going to the locker room to change . I already knew my schedule for today.

After making sure that I was finished with everything , I headed off to the parking lot to join the bus. Yes we had buses which took us to and fro.

I sat by the window and adjusted myself into a comfortable position . Outside, I saw one of the girls _Sarah rushing towards the bus . It wasn’t even about to move so I didn’t understand why she was hurrying towards it. Anyway it had nothing to do with me so I plugged my earphones in and scrolled through my playlist .I was just about to tap on a song which had recently become my favourite when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Sarah in front of me trying to catch her breath .

I removed the earphones .” Hey Sarah, what’s up ? “

“H-hi Uh Blaire ,Mrs . Roland would like to see you “ , she said in a breathy voice.

“Uh why ? , have I done anything wrong ? did she say why ? “, I asked in a panicked tone. The only times I met Mrs Roland after she hired me were the times we were called for a general meetings or announcements so why would my boss want to see me out of the blue?

Schooling my face onto an expressionless one even though I was shaking inside , I followed Sarah out of the bus.

With a gentle knock on the door and an equally gentle voice asking us to come in ,we entered.

She was on a call so we waited while she finished.

While I waited , I looked around the office. Like even room in this building ,her office was painted white except there were gold accents here and there. There was a large fancy looking brown rug underneath the desk area.

Large windows to the side and some abstract paintings hanged on the wall .The cool A.C air filtered about in the room spreading the sweet lavender and coconut scent form the scented candles placed about. Behind the huge oak desk sat Maryse Roland . The owner of this establishment.

She was a beautiful woman in her late thirties with onyx black hair that was tied in a sophisticated bun today

Her heart shaped face was in great concentration as she listened to the person on the other end of the line. A pair of cute little glasses which framed her warm brown eyes were perched on her small upturned nose. Everything about her screamed elegant and feminine as it should I mean, she was the wife of one of the known millionaires in the country . Her husband Mr. Roland owned mining companies around the world. They had two children, a son and daughter. I didn’t know much but I knew that their daughter was in her last year of college and their son was working in his father’s company

My thoughts were brought to a stop when I heard Mrs Roland ending her call .

She closed the book she was writing in and place it aside .Meaning she was going to give us all her attention . If I wasn’t scared before , I was now.

“Thank you Sarah .You can get back to work now “ she said gently .

“Sure Mrs Roland .” ,Sarah said and turned to leave ,before that, she leaned in close to me and whispered good luck with a smile on her face.

“ Well have a seat Ms Reynolds .I know you must be wondering why I called you here “. She started and I shifted and made myself comfortable in the soft cushioned chair . Might as well enjoy it

“Anyway ,it’s nothing to be worried about and I assure you, you are not in any trouble .

This is work related actually . A client requested for our services but this time it’s different” .

I spent the next few hours listening to Mrs Roland with all my attention.

I couldn’t believe what she was telling me .

Ever since I started working here , there never been an arrangement like this and as I went about my work the whole day, I couldn’t help but wonder who the client was.

Who requested such an arrangement ? .
