章節 33: We meet again

"You're too shabby, you know."

"Huh?", Amy scrunched her brows softly.

Alice pulled out an outfit from the collections & shoved it into her hands, "Go try this." Amy looked at the outfit in her hands before she followed the salesgirl into the trial room.

Alice's fingers rhythmically tapped on the counter as she waited for the girl. Moments later, the girl stepped out & stood before her. Alice looked up & said, "Great! Let's go."

...

Alice was about to get into the car when she heard the noise. Even, Amy was missing. She followed the noise & saw a boy forcefully grabbing Amy's hand, "So? Got a sugar daddy?"

"Let go!", Amy tied to push him away.

"Why in a hurry? Afraid you'll be pushed away by a sugar daddy?"

"Nope! She got a sugar mummy!", a voice was raised.

Lily & the boy raised their heads towards the direction of the voice. They saw Alice walking towards them. When she stopped near them, the boy looked up to her in amazement. She was almost a head taller than him. She slapped his hand away & turned toward Amy, "Sit in the car."

Amy nodded & turned to leave, but the boy caught hold of her, "Miss, the matter is between us."

The boy could say that Alice was no ordinary girl. So, he chose his words carefully, "Miss, she's my girlfriend. So, you can rest assured."

"Girlfriend! My foot", Amy yelled.

Alice moved a few steps back as she pushed up her jacket sleeves. The next moment, an elegant kick landed on the boy's hand & stumbled on the floor. He was stunned.

"Don't you dare misbehave with girls in front of me!",Alice spoke calmly in an emotionless manner. She then turned away, "Let's go!"

Amy nodded and followed behind.

Hotel Moore

"Alice Buds? That's great!", the music director was impressed.

"No wonder, her first album was released a few days back & it already crossed 600 million views",a young boy in his twenties smiled.

"I know!" ,the music director smiled.

"Are you sure?", the young boy twirled his wine glass as he spoke to his manager.

"Yes!", the manager's face lit up, "Her manager told me himself."

"So, she's ready to record the playback with me?"

"Yes, Zach, your chance finally."

"I know. This time, I won't lose", a thin smirk played on his lips.

Alice, I'm back!

...

Alice drove into the parking lot of the Hotel Moore. She was supposed to meet up with Zach Schultz, the infamous singer. It was rumored that he lived a very private life & no one knew who he was. Because only his voice was enough to set the stage on fire! It was also rumored that he's devilishly handsome. She didn't think about it that much because her only goal was to be famous & stand beside Daniel in all aspects.

She walked in with Amy beside her. An attendant took her in where she was supposed to meet the legendary Zach Schultz! It was rumored that even the singers who collaborated with him never saw his face. So, she never expected to meet him in person.

She was soon led into a room. A devilishly handsome man was seated on the sofa. He smirked evilly, "Hello! My beauty! We meet again!"

Alice's eyes darkened quite a few shades when she saw who it was. She was emanating a murderous aura that made Amy & the manager shiver in fear. Only, the devil kept his smile intact.

Jake's Mansion

Olivia's room was upside down. Her floor was scattered with clothes, books & shattered pieces of glass. The maids had tried all the tricks to calm her down, but all in vain. Her face was disheveled. Disheveled, because? Because Jake never returned last night. Even, her plan to abduct Eddie had failed miserably. Her thugs ventured into the hospital only to find that Eddie had disappeared into thin air. The rabbit never ended up in her cage & she failed to attract the attention of her so-called male counterpart.

Just then her phone rang. She glanced at her phone & she shrieked in fear. The maids entered into panic mode again.

"It's a call from the old man. Shhh...", Olivia calmed herself down.

A hush fell over the room. She calmed her palpable heart & answered the call, "Hello? Grandpa?"

"Is Jake back?",the old man's stern voice was heard. It seems like he was really angry.

Olivia gulped, "Yeah...Grandpa...he came back...last night."

"Is that so? Come down. I want to talk to him."

Meanwhile in Black Villa

Eddie's condition was improving. The doctor had just left after checking on her. Currently, Jake sat there caressing her cheeks, deep in thoughts. He must find a way to expose Olivia in front of the old man. And all these must end before Eddie wakes up.

He was well acquainted with the threat queen Alice. She was the only one who can help him solve this great problem. He must get rid of this wicked Olivia. The evil vixen has tricked his Grandpa into promising the alliance. He glanced down at the recorded evidence in his hands & an evil glint flashed in his eyes.
