The Scripted Love

I am struggling in the darkness, Swallowed up by the dark times but this isn't the same every time you're present. I feel home, peace and safe in your arms .Scripted or not, I need you here. January 2017, The CEO's office Masters Wrestling Company's building... Josephine Ani didn't think she would see him again after many years. “Maybe she did” . Though not certainly as the arranged lover she was supposed to work with. After all, he was now a big wrestling star. Why would he even agree to this arrangement? She had moved to New York with the hopes of becoming bigger. Having done everything humanly possible to be on the path. However, as she listened to the voice of the other man sited in the office, she cringed, holding the door knob. “Come on in, you're just in time” , the CEO beckoned to her. The other man in the room slanted his head slowly towards the door and gasped as he recognized her. ...You, He looked at her with disbelief. He then turned to his boss and added “If I am not mistaken, the script clearly said a wrestler ? “She is our newest member, a skilled and fine star” , The CEO praised her . “Bad for you Damien, I became a wrestler”, She taunted him. “Yeah, that's surprising. Who knew you had a fighting bone inside” . Damien paused and decided to add to his mischievousness “Congrats though” . He stretched out his hands to her but was met with a cold stare from her. Josephine rolled her eyes at him. He was clearly mocking her, he thought she wasn't capable. She clearly won't be able to go through this deal with this man and remain intact. “Keep it to yourself, I don't need it”, She looked away from the outstretched hands towards her. Since both of you are here now, let's proceed with signing the contract . You understand the clause written here that states you are to remain exclusive with each other, only following the set plans of dinner dates and outside gatherings. Damien looked closely at the woman beside him and disgust filled him. While, should he be involved with her when the only reason she probably got accepted into the company was, of course, with her daddy's help. He wouldn't allow her to use him to climb to the top. If she wants to be on top, she has to do it by herself. I would not be signing the contract today or any other day , he spoke briskly and made to exit the office. She just got here and should not be given any special treatment because of any one. “It's nobody's fault that no one cares about you to the point of giving you a special treatment . Josephine added to her earlier statement, “Oh please, like I'm head over heels about spending my precious time with the likes of you. I too refuse to sign this contract . She looked at the CEO as she said this” . “Hmm…Brave of you to think it's not obvious that you have gotten this opportunity from your father's connection” . She ignored his accusations, only smiling at his assumptions. “You should try something on your own for once”, Damien advised her. Josephine looked at him and her features tightened, her face unsmiling and her fist clenched as she heard that. “I would have said not having a responsible father have made you this bitter, but, I wouldn't . I 'l' ll ignore the fact that you just said that rubbish”. “Enough, both of you, the elderly man shouted. My office is not a battle field and I won't hesitate to have you thrown out of here” . Seeing the startled faces staring at him, he decided not to give them a chance to continue, I don't care about what either of you think about each other. In fact, I am glad you two know each other. “Also, Let me remind you that this is my company. I run the show and the people in the show. So sort all these out and get ready to be together in a month or you can hand over your resignation letters to me” .
