2 This dummy will not hold back anymore

This was just the beginning. After hacking into the website, she hacked into the account of Rose on the server. It was just a matter of seconds. She logged in & found herself in the news-feed. A glee smile forced through her petite, little face. She very shamelessly & mercilessly typed a post through her account, "Hello my dearest fans of BLISS. As I announced earlier, the new song will be released on our next fan event. But, a recent error occurred, i.e, our dearest lyricist ran away with the new draft of the song. Very sorry for the inconvenience. 😞 "

Then she clicked "post". Very soon, many angry & confused reactions landed on the post. Shares & comments were exploding!!!!

"What's wrong? Is our Rose not the lyricist herself?"

"Exactly! Why did she type such a post?"

"Whoever's this damned lyricist?"

"This website can't be hacked, right? So, how did this post appeared?"

Alice clutched her stomach & rolled on her bed, laughing. She sat up & opened her fake Facebook account & typed in a comment.

"Who knows this is the reality? Our Rose darling is such an honest person."

Post!!!

Very soon, her comment gained likes & reactions & it reached the top comments section. After navigating through most of the comments, she stretched her hands over her head, "My dearest best friend Rose, this dummy will not hold back anymore."

Amnesty Entertainment, CEO's office

"CEO Adley, are you sure you want to call Miss Buds, despite the rumors?", his assistant asked him one last time.

"Just rumors, isn't it?", Daniel said without moving his eyes from his laptop.

"Yes, CEO."

"Call her now", Daniel added sternly. As soon as the assistant left his office, Daniel closed his laptop & moved towards the floor to ceiling window. His facial features were handsome. Thin lips, perfect jawline & a chiseled nose, his eyes were hidden under his long lashes. He shoved both of his hands in his pockets & stared at the wide cityscape. His thoughts wandered back to the sweet moments from 6 years back. The girl used to run away whenever he tickled her & used to close her eyes & stiffen like a statue whenever he kissed her. Back then, when she left him without saying, he thought that she ditched him. But, when the girl reappeared a year later as a leader of a girl band & was soaring high, he realized she was fulfilling her Dad's dream & felt happy for her. When he took over this agency from his father 3 years back, he wanted to take her under wings, but she's already signed under another agency. His desire had already reached its limit & the recent scandal made his desire stronger. He sighed & his phone rang. He answered it immediately.

Back at home, Alice was resting in her bed, her phone rang & an unknown number flashed on the screen. She furrowed her brows. After giving it some thought, she picked up her phone.

"Hello?"

"Am I talking to Miss Buds?"

"Yes, may I know who's speaking?"

"I'm from Amnesty Entertainment."

Amnesty Entertainment? The words struck her. Wasn't that the leading agency in the entertainment industry that produced many stars-for-life?

"Excuse me?"

"I'm from Amnesty Entertainment. Am I talking to Miss Alice?"

"Yes, it's me. May I know the reason for your call?"

"Our boss wants you to sign a contract with us & terminate your contract with Starlet Super Media", the assistant went straight to the point without going round in circles.

"Huh?", her eyes had already gone wide when she heard 'sign a contract' & it was at the point of bursting.

"I request your presence at the Hotel River Flint. Thank you", the call ended without her response.

Toot-toot-toot

She was still holding the phone to her ear when she heard the familiar toot-toot sound. Was she hearing things? That didn't sound like a scam. That hotel...Hotel River Flint, right? It was under Amnesty Internationals, right? How did things turn out like this?

On the phone

"CEO Adley, she'd been contacted. She'll be present at the Hotel River Flint."

"Good. Arrange the car."

"Yes, CEO."

Daniel clutched the papers he prepared from the table & hurried out of the office. Many people saw their boss flying out of the office before noon, which was a rare occasion for them. He used to toil all day in the office which made this agency soar high in the skies.

Hotel River Flint

Daniel reached early as usual. It seemed he was here to meet an important client. But no! That's not it! The floor at 5th was completely booked & no one was allowed to enter. By the door, stood the quiet assistant while his boss was inside & was now heading near the floor-to-ceiling window. He shoved his hands into the pockets like he usually did. From there, he saw the fragile looking girl entering the Hotel campus. A memory clouded his mind.

"Dan, please. Stop tickling", the girl looked amused in his arms as she glanced back at him. Daniel simply smiled as he leaned forward to kiss the girl in his arms. She shut her eyes tightly, anticipating a kiss. He smiled before his warm lips colluded on her soft ones & melted away.
