5 Her Story

"Sab, about the incident at the airport yesterday, I think I already know who's behind it," Kenzie said while twisting her fork in her pasta. Sabrina who was busy eating suddenly stopped upon hearing what her manager said.

"It's the company isn't it?" Sabrina asked. She already had a guess.

"OMG, how do you know!?" Kenzie exclaimed, but Sabrina just shrugged.

"Earlier, I called the agency of the reporter who tried to slander you yesterday and according to the person I talked to, the CEO of Crest Entertainment visited them 2 times and personally looked for the reporter," Kenzie said, "I don't understand why our boss would do that. She completely knows that you were personally invited by the director of this film. Why did she have to tell them that you did some underhanded schemes, it's not like you offended her. Wait, did you?" Kenzie suddenly asked. Sabrina just smiled at her.

"Want to hear an interesting story Kenz?" Sabrina asked, showing a small smile on her face. Kenzie was a bit puzzled but she still agreed.

"Sure," Kenzie answered.

Sabrina wiped her lips before she started talking,"5 years ago there were two people who were lovers, the woman was a newbie celebrity and the man was a successor. Their relationship was kept hidden to the public due to the woman's occupation as an artist and also because of the man's family because he was the son of a known businessman in our country. They were both deeply in love with each other, but the man's family didn't approve of it."

"The man's family didn't want the celebrity for their child because she doesn't match the man's status. But what they didn't know was that the woman was a child of an elite family, much more powerful than the man's family, but nobody knew this, not even her boyfriend. She wanted to keep it a secret to everybody to avoid rumors that may affect her family's name since she was a celebrity."

"And so the man was forced to marry someone else. Oh oops, I mean not forced," Sabrina paused then chuckled, "He was willing," she said.

"The woman was willing to do everything for him. She was ready to reveal her true identity to the man's family for them to approve of her, but it was already too late. The man had already agreed to the marriage. He didn't even attempt to fight for them, to fight for her. The man just agreed easily to the wedding, choosing power and status over her," there was a hint of pain in Sabrina's voice as she spoke.

Kenzie was picking up some information from the story but she was still confused.

"The man was married to a lady CEO of an entertainment company that was a daughter of a well-known business family that was good enough to match the man's status and boost their family's reputation. What's funny here is that the celebrity girl was signed under that entertainment company. Imagine the woman seeing the girl who the man she loved married every day. You can easily imagine how she felt every time she met her boss," Sabrina chuckled again then her face turned serious.

Kenzie who was listening displayed a face of shock. After analysing the story, she somewhat decoded everything in her mind. She already guessed who the people behind this story were.

"A few weeks ago, the man and the woman met again after a very long time. They accidentally bumped into each other at the workplace of the woman. Not wanting to see the man, the woman wanted to leave immediately but the man insisted that both of them talk. He dragged her to the fire exit to avoid people from seeing them. The man said that he was sorry, and that he still loved the woman, he even promised her that he'd divorce his wife now that he has the power that he chose over the woman," Sabrina smirked.

Kenzie couldn't hide her frustration anymore, "What a jerk! After leaving his woman for status and power, he had the guts to spit those stupid words!" she exclaimed. Sabrina laughed upon hearing her manager's reaction.

"The woman just laughed at the man's words but who would have thought that the man would suddenly kiss the woman. She used her strength to break free from the kiss but the man was stronger than her. And at the right timing, a person entered the fire exit, it was his wife. She caught her husband kissing one of her artists. She started throwing a fit in the fire exit, screaming unpleasant words to the girl who she caught being intimate with her husband," Sabrina suddenly displayed a look of disgust and disbelief.

She sipped some wine before she continued her story, "The man who was there suddenly didn't know what to do. Earlier he was so confident in getting his old lover back, but during the situation he chose to abandon her. He explained himself to his wife and blamed everything to the woman, saying that she seduced her and as a man he wasn't able to resist temptation. The CEO, who was clearly in love with the man believed his words and threatened the woman, she declared that she will use all her power to take down the celebrity who was at the peak of her career right now," Sabrina looked at Kenzie, "The end," she said.

"What a useless son of a pig! How shameless could he be!" Kenzie didn't bother hiding her anger anymore even though the people in the restaurant were already looking at her.

"Lower your voice, we don't want to be the center of attention here do we?" Sabrina said while chuckling at Kenzie.

"Sorry I just can't help but feel hate towards that man!" Kenzie reasoned, then she soon realized what the story contains, "This was your story am I right?" she asked. Sabrina nodded in response and didn't bother to hide the truth.

"I told you this because I feel that sooner or later, our CEO might do things that will affect the both of us greatly. In the past month that we've shared, you became one important person to me Kenzie. Right now I'm giving you the option to quit if you don't want to be affected by my personal issues. I don't want you to suffer with me," Sabrina spoke in all seriousness.

All that she said was from the bottom of her heart, being in the entertainment industry for years now, she learned how to read a person's character. She knew that Kenzie was a genuine person. She didn't want her to be implicated on her issues that she has nothing to do about.

Kenzie smiled after hearing Sabrina's words. She was touched to know that she held such importance to her artist so she answered, "Why would I quit? I'll fight beside you of course! I wanna see how you take down that bastard!" Kenzie spoke with so much enthusiasm and it moved Sabrina.

"Thank you Kenzie, you're like a big sister to me," Sabrina said.

Kenzie moved her chair closer to Sabrina and hugged her, "You're also like a little sis to me Sab. You know you can call me Sister Kenz if you want haha!" Kenzie jokes. The two girls laughed at each other then continued to eat their lunch.

On the other side of the table, there was a man who displayed a handsome yet a very serious face. His existence was surrounded by a cold aura that can be felt by the people passing by, making them feel intimidated by him.

The man who was sitting in front of him cannot help it but also tremble a little. He had seen his boss look scary and intimidating a bunch of times already, but this time was different.

This time was deadly.

Grey didn't understand why Alexander's mood suddenly changed like this.

"Grey," Alexander spoke in all seriousness with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Yes sir?" Grey answered.

"The report, I want it on my desk first thing in the morning," Alexander said. He wiped his mouth and called the waiter to check out. He stood up and left the restaurant immediately.

Grey, who was walking behind Alexander, wanted to cry by his boss' order. After this long day, he wanted to have a good rest.

But no!

He has to pull an all-nighter for today to be able to finish the report Alexander requested. He wondered why his boss wanted to rush the report, but he does not have the guts to ask him so he just sighed.

This was for sure, going to be a very busy day for him.
