HER VICTORIOUS SMILE

Meets

Chapter 4: Meets

"We will face it. I love you! I'm not afraid." he then said and hugged her tight to comfort her.

Lily Costa didn't do much as she only worked on some verses, went through some comments and laid on her bed to have a good bed rest.

Before she slept, she called her manager to inform her to be at alarm. After that, she slept so as to start fresh the next day.

CEO's office in Allen Empire

"Master, I have the full details." Shawn Dice reported as he walked into Ray Allen's office the next morning.

"Let me have it." Ray Allen responded as he close the document at his front and stretched his palm.

Without hesitation, Shawn Dice handed it over to him.

"Master, she's currently trending due to a feud she has with her ex fiance and her best friend."

"From now on, I want to know her every move." Ray Allen instructed and opened the file to take a look.

"Yes Master! If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Shawn Dice responded as he then bowed and left.

In the streets of New York City, Mark Twain and Rita Spence could be seen holding hands and walking side by side as fans stood by to take pictures.

The walked from store to store and purchased as many items as they could while acting lovey dovey.

After walking for a long distance, Mark Twain squatted down for Rita Spence and without delay, she jumped on his back.

The pictures and videos of their actions went viral with Netizens commenting on them non stop.

"Rita Spence is most shameless woman I have ever seen or heard of."

"Imagine flaunting a stolen man. He could get stolen again."

"These two are so jobless. I believe there's more to do."

"Mark Twain is mocking Lily Costa but regardless, Lily Costa remains my favourite."

"Lily Costa met the worst man on earth. Take heart Lily!"

"Like Mark Twain isn't the only man on planet earth. I believe there are better men out there."

Lily Costa mind blew hot when she saw those pictures. Holding in her anger, she pretended like she didn't see anything.

"This is so shameless. I can't believe this!" Kira Jones spat, almost fainted from anger.

Who did these people think they are messing with?

Flaunting their shamelessness in the public, how disgusting.

"They will pay!" Lily Costa muttered as she stood up and walked into her room.

When Lily Costa got to her room, she climbed her bed and dived under the bed sheets, curling up underneath.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she remembered her times with Mark Twain.

She remembered begging to be with him at night's only to get rejected.

She had always thought the lack of attention she had been getting was due to stress from work. Only now did she know it was about her best friend.

Rita Spence, her one and only best friend.

Lily Costa laughed at herself at the thought of Rita Spence.

She was the fool all these while.

She remembered Mark Twain always following Rita Spence everywhere even though she was busy with work.

She had no issues with it since he was the CEO of the entertainment company.

She then realized that she was nothing but a simple chip to Mark Twain and her best friend was actually jealous of her love life.

Pained, she forced her eyes close. She was tired of feeling the way she felt.

Somehow, she needed to pour out her frustrations.

Lily then thought of something and sat up immediately.

She needed to gather her strength. She had to be brave and okay.

Then her phone rang.

When she saw who was calling, she froze.

It's been ages.

Without wasting time, she picked it up.

"Hey Lily!" Booker greeted.

"Hi Booker! It's been a while!"

"I have been seeing everything that has been going on and so I decided to call."

"Thanks a lot for your concern Booker. I really appreciate it." her low voice sounded.

"Are you okay? Do you mind joining me on my concert tonight?" he asked her.

Smiling, "Sure! Tonight then. Just send me the address."

"Sure! See you then." he then said and hung up.

Lily Costa didn't know whether to cry or laugh as she stared at her phone.

Within two minutes, she got the message concerning the concert address.

She then stood up to rehearse a few of her songs.

Later that evening, Booker was performing his hit singles on the stage before his fans.

Fans were screaming in joy.

Their idol was really giving them what they wanted. When they thought that the fun was over, the stage lights came alive again and this time, it was so mesmerizing.

The crowd screamed louder at the appearance of Lily Costa. It felt like they were willing to die there if Lily Costa didn't stop.

Lily Costa smiled all through her performance.

She sang three songs. She expressed how shocked and hurt she was in the first performance, she then expressed strength in the last two performances, assuring her fans that she she would be alright.

After the performance, she went backstage to get changed.

"You were great today! How do you feel?" Kira Jones asked immediately Lily Costa got to where she was.

"Thanks Kira!"

"I'll drive you home."

"No, you really don't have to okay. Do have a wonderful night."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Lily Costa replied assuringly, hugged Kira and walked away.

Lily Costa's heart felt like it would jump out of her chest as Lily Costa tried her best to control her emotions.

The pains were really too much for her to bear. She was only acting strong, but she didn't feel the same.

She was hurt, she had to admit it.

Lily Costa kept driving all over New York City until she stopped at a very private bar known for always being dim lit inside.

Staring at the door, she came down from her car and walked into the bar.

"Master, one of our men just spotted Lily going into the private bar at the end of the City." Shawn Dice reported his findings.

"Get the car!" Ray Allen ordered without hesitation.
