Pity

"Take it easy, Sammy. I'm sure everything will die down soon. You just need to stop reading it." Tara, who was Sammy's manager said.

Sammy continued fuming and couldn't calm down. She adored her name so much that she doesn't like the stain that it's getting.

After this fight, the shipping would definitely stop. It aids her popularity and now it's on the verge of ruin.

Her gaze suddenly turned sharp. She knew what to do.

There's no way she would be letting that new actress take things from her.

"What has Charlotte been up to, lately?" Sammy asked, thrashing her laptop on the floor.

"She just secured an endorsement project with the kairon brand. The one you rejected." Tara said, because those people had come for her, but she felt like she was above such company.

Moreover, her schedules are full.

"Contact them and inform them that I'm taking it." Sammy said and Tara shook her head.

"That's not a good idea. Charlotte would rebel and she's not an easy one to deal with." Tara said.

Sammy frowned. "Shut the f*ck up and do as I asked!" Sammy screamed.

"No. We would think of something else, just…. not that." Tara said. She was used to Sammy.

"You! I will fire you!" Sammy glared at her.

"You won't. Stop letting this get to you. I will take care of your fans, but we can't do it so fast. If we tell them to stop now, they would suspect you.

Give it time. Maybe a day or two and they would have gotten half tired. They would listen to reasoning, then. 

If you take the project from that girl, Charlotte is cunning. She would reveal it and make things get out of hand than it already has." Tara explained.

"Then, kill her! I don't want her near Brian. Kill her." Sammy growled.

"That's a possible solution. I will see to it." Tara replied calmly.

Sammy looked like she had lost a lot of weight within two days. She couldn't believe that things turned this way, because of a poor girl that could be killed with a snap of her finger.

....

Brian was seen inside his villa.

He was in his living room, which was themed white as usual.

Beautiful artwork hung on the wall, the same as his pictures. 

His leg crossed and his golden orbs looked cloudy. A frown marred his facial expression and his lower lip being bitten by his teeth.

His upper body hugged by a white long sleeve transparent shirt, that see through his beautiful skin tone and accentuated his abs, as it looks like it melted to his body.

During the shoot, Olivia didn't only wink at him.

To make it simple, she was harassing him.

When she was asked to hug him, she used her fingers to tickle his back and secretly lick her lips seductively when they were meant to gaze into each other's eyes.

He felt that the girl wasn't the same one she slept with. People change, but that change was too drastic.

Michael told him how Emma looked embarrassed and couldn't look at him in the eyes, during the meeting.

Brian summed up the equation, including her behavior when she showed up in his hotel room in his math.

His result was that Emma was just a simple girl that was following her manager's words.

But he was proved wrong with the new character. Something was definitely not right.

He would have gotten angry in most cases, but he couldn't bring himself to. He really blamed himself.

He could have resisted her till the end. The prop gun he used to scare her away after the deed, could have scared her before the deeds as well.

He knew that he messed up. He messed up his own heart, because he doesn't let things go easily.

He didn't want to pity her, but he still did. The image of the scene never left his mind.

Perhaps if she gains fame from the movie, Brian would set his heart free from guilt. He would be able to let go and know that she has gotten something worthy as what he took.

It was worth more than that, but since it was what it meant to Emma then he hopes that she gets it in plenty.

The opening of the door made him return to his senses. His head snapped towards the entrance and Michael's figure came into view.

He was holding a bouquet of lily flowers in his left hand and rose in the other. 

He had a soft smile on his face, as he approached Brian.

"I'm not confessing love to you. I was delivering it on your fans' behalf. There are lots of gifts and apology letters, delivered." Michael said, making Brian raise his brow.

"Who offended me?" Brian was confused.

Michael suddenly burst into laughter. It was so loud that Brian had to throw a pillow at him, before he chuckled and held his stomach.

Brian wasn't in the usual mood, where he would look icy cold and wear the 'don't come near' aura.

When he's inside his room, he's just a simple guy and Michael is just a manager that's like a family to him.

"I'm afraid of you, Brian." Michael said and narrated everything that happened to Brian, who just listened without a change in his expression.

How his fans claimed that someone tried to taint his name.

"I think those people would support you if you want to rule the world." Michael added, still laughing.

Brian wasn't very moved, because pity was included in his fan's love for him.
