I’m Dedicated To You

“Seduce Mr. Hale”I heard Olivia say and I got stunned because what makes her think of something so stupid like that I am so grateful that no one is here to witness those kinds of humiliating words Olivia just spouted.

“What are you saying Ollie?” Victoria questioned her with her mouth wide open and I am very sure she was as shocked as me because what in the world is this girl thinking with her fish brain?

“Mr. Hale pampers you so much don’t you think it’s a plausible reason that he may like you,” Olivia says and I concluded in my mind that you must have lost her mind real big.

“Ollie are you sure you are not losing it and why will you think he likes me when all he has done is just accommodate me,” I say lazily but Olivia is not having anything of it because the look in her eyes shows she still has something to say.

“Best have you seen your dressing room,” she asked and I shook my head.

“Then you will know my claim might be right because of how he set up a dressing room for someone you just met”.

“Does this room have a dressing room?” I asked oblivious to the knowledge about the dressing room.

“You haven’t seen it, it’s huge, “Victoria says in astonishment and I believe Olivia may be right about the dressing room.

“I will check it later then”.

“There are so many designers there ranging from Gucci, LV…..” Olivia was saying but she was cut off by Victoria.

“How are you faring now Gina? ” Victoria asked, sitting beside me on the bed and I smiled at her. She is always the considerate one among us.

“Oh my bad how are you doing now? Best, I heard from grumpy Mr. Hale that you caught a fever,” Olivia says and I hope her mouth won’t implicate her one day.

“I am doing great thank you, “I say, eyeing Victoria because of her choice of words but she rolls her eyes at me.

“Sister Rachel asked after you,” Victoria says, adjusting my pillow so I can sit up on the bed.

“Ohhh missed her to send my regards”.

“So, Gina are you ok now, “Olivia asked in a suspicious tone and I suspected she was asking because of something work-related.

“This is not the time for an interview so, stop giving her that look, “Victoria says.

“But don’t you think you need to clarify the rumors? I am sure many people are curious about what happened and I think they deserved to know,” Olivia says.

“Is your boss disturbing you?”I asked Olivia because I know that might be the case.

“Yes my team leader has been buzzing my phone up lately and even though I don’t have a lover I will get a message on my phone in just a minute and this is an example of it, “Olivia said raising her phone and we saw her boss messages and me and Victoria can’t help but burst into laughter.

“Ok Ollie I am going to help you keep your job but I won’t have an interview with a cast in my hand so, you will have to wait until I remove my cast I don’t want to look like a pitiful lamb on the screen,” I say and I can see Olivia’s face beamed.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“As my scandal died down a little, “I asked.

“Yes,” Victoria answered, avoiding my eyes.

“Are you sure because I want to go home now I don’t feel comfortable milking Mr. Hale’s kindness like this”?

“I think you have to milk Mr. Hale’s kindness for the time being because your scandal hasn’t died down yet because new rumors keep coming up and it’s ruining your image,” Olivia says frankly.

“New rumors,” I asked and Olivia nodded to her.

“Look at this”Olivia says handing me her phone. I looked at different rumors that have come up against me and I wondered if someone else is using my body to commit these atrocities.

“Are you sure this is all about me?” I asked not to believe the rumors.

“Yeah and the one that came up this morning is one that Manager Bee accused you of bullying and being disrespectful to the staff at the agency” Victoria joined in explaining the situation to me.

“These people are not joking when they say I won’t be able to make a comeback soon but what to do I can’t be easily bullied, “I say with a dangerous glint in my eyes when I remembered that I still have an offer that can turn this all around because I believe in an eye for an eye.

“Do you have a way to get back at them because we will be sure to h? help?” Victoria asked me.

“I don’t know if the offer still stands but I will be sure to take a gamble. I will make sure I get back at them for ruining my character like that when all I ever did is to be good to them”.

“This person that you are going to ask for help from, do we know him, “Olivia asked suspiciously. I just laughed and didn’t answer but I think that is the clarification that I need.

“He is a businessman, did you think he is going to agree to use him?” Victoria inquired and as always she is always quick to catch on.

“How does Mrs. Hale sound,” I asked them with a cunning smirk and they looked at me dumbfounded, not believing what they were hearing.

“Are you going to give him your body?” Olivia asks with these but I can also sense the excitement in her voice too?

“I will give him my last name, and also my status but as for my body, I don’t know, “I say winking.

“Wow Georgina Grey is on fire but did you think he will accept the proposal,” Olivia says, quickly adapting to the situation of asking Mr. Hale for help. That’s the advantage of growing up as an orphan; nothing seems strange to us as long as it’s for survival.

“He already proposed it to me before,” I say and the look of disbelief on my friend’s face and I think I have a lot of explaining to do.

“I will let that betrayal go under because you are still recovering but that doesn’t mean it’s forgiven,” Victoria says.

“But it’s really funny how we promised ourselves that we won’t get involved with the high society but now one of us is thinking of getting married to one of the richest men in the country, “Olivia says bouncing her back on the bed facing the ceiling and the flash memory of when we are 17 years old making promises of not to get involved with the high society crossed my mind.

“I know right but we were young back then and we are not frustrated to know that we need the power to survive,” Victoria says, shaking her head, maybe mocking her stupidity back then.

“If I didn’t do anything now I may get buried with my career and I don’t think I want that that’s why I need Bradley Hale right now”.

“But don’t you think marriage is extreme?”Victoria questioned and I also thought about it too.

“When you are left with nothing even if your enemy offers you a hand you should take it first to survive,” I say.

“Wow, you sounded like a Mafia lord, where did you learn that?”Olivia says jokingly and the once solemn atmosphere turns back to normal.

“I don’t know, maybe because I escaped death I became more mature”.

“So it’s an operation asking Bradley Hale for help”Olivia and Victoria chorused.

“Yes,” I say.

“And here comes the Golden man of the year”…
