CHAPTER 79: I MISSED MY WIFE
“Ok let’s get ready for scene 21″producer Pedro yelled and some of the supporting actors gathered trying to get a glimpse of me and Bernard acting.
“Where is Jessie because she is also going to appear in this scene” producer Pedro asked looking at me.
“I told her to go home, “I say frankly not giving any explanation and I can see that they weren’t really surprised about that.
“We can just use someone for her scene, “I say looking at the supporting actors, and my eyes land on a cute girl with a waitress uniform.
“What about her, “I say pointing at the girl was surprised and I heard gasps frothehanother cascastsThat’s fine you guys should help her go change,” director Reynold says not bothering about the girl’s acting skills.
After shooting for some hours the sky started to get dark and the crew started packing since we don’t have any night scenes.
“GG” I heard someone calling while I was making my way out of the building and I and Kira turn around.
“Thanks a lot for today, “the girl I choose randomly to take Jessie’s role says.
“It’s fine you are a good actress so you deserve what’s your name?”I asked.
“Becky” sh, e says smiling with all her teeth and I just smile at how cute she is she told me how I am her role model and lots more but I just kept smiling all through because I have been noticing Bernard’s eyes on me the whole time and my palm get sweaty at that but after some time, he left the place and I sigh in relief and I excuse Becky saying I am tired.
“Kira, did you notice Bernard staring at us?”I asked and Kira says no and I wondered if maybe I am just being paranoid.
After Johnny dropped me home I looked at the big mansion in front of me which feels empty to me because someone is not home.
“Bradley Hale you this jerk” I cursed after checking my phone and I still didn’t miss any call from him…..
********************
“Achoo” Bradley sneezed heavily wondering if he had caught a cold.
“Don’t tell the unstoppable General Hale has caught a cold just after 3 days in the woods”Douglas says sitting down beside his friend who is sitting down looking at the dark sky Frederick also joined and the three men stare at him. the dark sky after some time silence reigns.
“I miss my wife,” Bradley says out of nowhere.
“Wow, I don’t know you could be a sissy just because of a girl you kind of liked as a child, d or are you perhaps a pedophile?”Douglas asked teasing his friends but Bradley just glares at him.
“You are wrong I didn’t like the little Georgina but the full-grown Georgina,” Bradley says smiling over nothing and Douglas looked at him confused.
“You guys already had an encounter before you get married?”Douglas asked and Frederick also looked at his friend.
“Yeah two years ago at a gala,” Bradley says, remembering the past…
FLASHBACK TO 2 YEARS AGO
Inside a luxurious conference hall, red wine glasses are stacked up, different aristocrats could be seen socializing with each other and some couples could be seen scattered on the dancing floor moving slowly to the melody of the music playing in the background.
Bradley walked into the party and most of the socialites walk towards him trying to acknowledge themselves with him but he wasn’t interested in any of their fake acknowledgment.
“Mr. Bennett my father sends his regards and I must say this is a good party” Bradley complimented and Mr. Bennett was smiling ear to ear like a girl who gets complimented by her crush. After exchanging pleasantries with some people I decided to find a cool place to sit because I am tired of different men introducing their daughters to me.
I got myself to a table and I decided to just stay for a few minutes but something caught my attention.
I saw a beautiful woman with long silky brown hair with deep brown eyes that kept drawing you in. She was dressed in a blue silk evening gown that had a slit cut at the front but what drew me to her was her nonchalant behavior despite the buzzing atmosphere.
I kept looking at her and her every silly action didn’t escape my eagle eyes and I saw her breathe a sigh of relief when she saw a lady they both talked for a while before the lady excused herself and I followed her without thinking twice. I was even surprised that I did that.
“I don’t even know why I am at this party in the first place”I hear her mutter looking at the dark sky.
“It’s beautiful”, she says, complimenting the sky.
“Yeah it’s beautiful, “I say but I wasn’t complimenting the sky. She looked at me at that time and she had a smile my way and my heart skipped a bit.
“Good evening sir” she greeted me looking at me and she started walking out of the place. I was shocked because that was the first time someone walked past me without looking back.
Everyone that walked by me always wanted to seek benefits but she was different and she somehow tugged at my heart that night.
Back to the present.
“Wow that was the shortest interaction I have ever heard before”Douglas exclaimed after Bradley finished narrating his first encounter with Georgina Grey.
“So, after that did you go after her?”Frederick asked and I shook my head, not bothering to give them the reason why.
“I bet she was just shy that day because who wouldn’t want to be acquainted with one of the richest men in the country, “Douglas says and I pondered on what he says because Georgina clearly didn’t remember that interaction because she doesn’t even know who I was the day we met at the hospital.
“But I bet that she didn’t know who I was that day and also the other time”I muttered slowly and I wondered what it could be…
“What are you saying Brad?” Frederick asked but Bradley said it was fine.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Did you guys still remember the first time we met in the military camp?” Douglas says laying on the floor and his other friends joined.
“Yeah, I remember because Bradley’s cold attitude isn’t what I can forget,” Frederick says and they all started reminiscing.
