His bitten lips and his frowning brows made the crowd curious until he lifted his head again and looked into the cameras confidently once again.

"Yes! There is such a person who became a source of inspiration to me and made me into who I am today. And you know that person by the name Natalia Carlisle. She has been a major part of my success. She is my motivation, my inspiration, and everything that I am now." He said in a voice so smooth and honest that the audience melted at the spot and wished that there was someone who would speak of them in a way he spoke of Natalia.

While the interview was still going on there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, causing the attention of many to divert from Oz and towards the sudden uproar that came from behind them.

"It the Chairman of BlackStone Group, Some whispers crawled amongst the crowd making Oz tilt his head curiously as the words BlackStone reached his ear. He was sure he had heard that name and knew for sure that he was a big deal. Some reporters who were not convinced that the Chairman of BlackStone Corporation would be in a place like that was just a blind man's dream turned away and slowly it was confirmed that it was just false news and that there was no such thing as that. The questioning continued and another reporter who was seemingly related to the entertainment world asked curiously.

"According to our sources we have found out that you have invested in "Love Under the Moonlight'' With a request of making Miss Natalia the leading role, is that news true, and what is your reaction to the fact that she hasn't been chosen for the role." HE asked, thinking that Oz was aware of the fact that Natalia had been rejected despite having invested so much money into the movie just so he could make Natalia happy. Oz looked confused and glanced at Caser who was equally unaware.

"Firstly, YEs I did decide to invest in the movie as it seemed like a promising investment plan, Secondly I did put forward the request of making Natalia the leading role and why not because as a businessman I have to choose what I see fit for business and making Natalia the lead would make the movie a success without a doubt." HE said confidently not caring about the fact that reporters would talk about it the wrong way.

"And about the last question, as to how I feel about her being rejected… This hasn't yet come to my notice, so I can't comment on it. I hope that was enough for today." He said those last words and got up. The reporters who were holding the theses length questions in their hands seemed reluctant of letting them slide away and they started to pour onto him with mikes but the guard and Caser sacrifice themself so that Oz could walk out of this place untouched and unharmed,

The moment he got out of the crazy madness the first thing he did was to call Natalia. He knew how bad she wanted to play that role and was disappointed as well as heartbroken by the fact that he couldn't give her what she wanted so badly.

HE took the phone to his ear and took the elevator to the parking lot. The phone rang and Natalia didn't pick up the calls. The doors of the elevator opened and he got out of it to see where his car was while calling her again and again. HE pressed the button on the key and his car made a beeping sound in the distance. While he walked towards it, his attention was caught by a long line of men in black standing behind a tall man in a black suit with a trench coat hanging down his shoulder. HE seemed to be talking with someone who was hidden behind his tall figure. Oz, who had never been interested in other people, felt a sudden urge to look at who the hidden person was but before he could get a glimpse, Natalia picked up the call and distracted him.

"Why haven't you been picking up my calls? Are you alright?" HE asked with concern and unlocked his car before taking a seat.

"Yes, I am okay…" She sounded sick.

"You don't sound okay, Did you catch a cold? Have you eaten yet?" HE asked with concern and started the engine to drive away, And while he wasn't paying attention to the men besides his car the crowd started to disperse revealing a tall woman with serene yet cold eyes looking blankly at the man in front of him. Her long straight black hair reached down to her hip, resting peacefully behind her. Her dusty rose suit made it seem like she was attending a business meeting. And just a few moments later she turned away from the man and got into the car behind her while a man in a suit held the door for her.

"I just caught a little cold nothing else." She coughed lightly making Oz nod and drive off the parking lot while saying. "I will be at your apartment in no time. Do you want to eat something? I will get it for you on the way home." HE asked to which Natalia chuckled. "If you are willing to cook I am ready to eat anything I am given." To which Oz agreed. "Alright then, I will be there in no time." He said and ended the call, HE gave out a disappointed breath and muttered to himself. "She won't tell me that she is sad and she had cried will she?" He seemed disappointed.

He punched the steering wheel annoyedly and drove as fast as he could to get to her. In just a few moments he reached the building where Natalia's apartment was and rang her doorbell hastily.
