"Beautifully done Angel face"
"Don't call me that!" I shout out before realizing what I was saying I cover my mouth suddenly surprised at myself and embarrassed.
"I am sorry please forgive the rudeness it's just that there is only one person allowed to call me that." I close my eyes bowing my head. "I ask you to please not call me angel face or any other endearments." I say it straight and apologize. He is smiling at me even still, I feel his eyes staring, It's so uncomfortable. I glance back and notice Maliki has Ren by the shoulder. Is he holding Ren back? I begin to feel panicked but I can't just walk away if I insult him then I'll bring trouble for Ren.
"Are you dating anyone?" Shocked by the question I look back at the President. Is he seriously asking me something so personal when we don't even know each other.
"Ye..., yes I am." I stammer; it's just a little lie. I shift uncomfortably as he watches me.
He smiles still at me, his eyes not wavering from me, I wish Ren was standing next to me.
"Well that doesn't mean we can't go have dinner for one night, does it? I can by you whatever you want just have a good time with me?" His voices tone becomes smoother as if he was trying to seduce a kitten but I'm not a kitten any more. I become annoyed at the way he was talking to me. Stupid prick thinking I will bend to his pretty face and money. No one compares to the man that waits behind me.
"Look here scumbag your wrong if you think I am that type of woman. I would never betray the person I hold dear like that, and if it wasn't made clear this clip was to try and fire up Miss Lane with her job on the line so she would want to work and regain her professionalism so don't even think of using it." I whisper while glaring at this man who doesn't even seem to flinch even a little if anything he looks more eager. I turn to try and leave I can't play nice anymore, but his hand grabs me by the wrist refusing to let me leave.
"Have dinner with me and I will consider letting her reclaim her position in this roll." His smile turns dangerous as he pulls me to him his hand wrapped around my waist. This bastard is persistent I struggle to push him away. No one on staff seems to even pay mind as a look around for help. No one is going to speak up. His hand slips down my thigh as it starts to stray and caress my ass, unable to take it I knee him between the legs before thinking it through I was so pissed. "I hate men like you." I say as I make contact. He releases his grip but doesn't make much sound as if trying to keep composer in front of the others.
"Excuse me, Miss Darkz; Mr. Hashiro told me to fetch you, he has already headed out to the car that is waiting." Maliki had come up behind me placing his hand on my shoulder to guide me away from the president his shoulders stiff as if trying to stifle a laugh.
"Thank you, Maliki, let me change and we can go." Looking back, I see the president glaring at us as we walk to the changing room. Maliki waits outside the room so I can leave with him without further interruptions.
"President please let me fill the roll." Tara begs to keep her job and asks for a start over. The presidents' hands were tied anyway and had no choice as the project manager said the clip from before was no good because during the scene where Anna looks right at the camera instead of her eyes looking dead and sad they look seductive it doesn't fit the idea of the scene. Curious about the moment that the scene was taken what might have caused that effect that reaction from her he asked the camera man.
"When she looked this way, let me think, Mr. Hashiro was standing here watching her." The camera man had explained the situation as well as lighting, and music chosen.
"Is that how it is? Intriguing." The president smiled and left the recording studio.
Back in the limo Ren won't even look or talk to me he looks pissed puffing on his cigarette. Maybe I screwed up big time and he's pondering how I am to make a mend for his contract with 2 Love cosmetics. It's hard to even look at him.
"I am sorry Ren," I stammered,
"I wasn't trying to screw up your contract when I denied him so sharply he just made me uncomfortable even more when he touched me, but if I need to fix it, give me the number and I will apologize and agree to go for you, if it's your order I'll do it." I take out my phone to show I am serious.
"Put that fucking phone down, if you call him even for an apology I will murder you here and now." His big hand clasps around my phone and part of my hand squeezing it hard.
He was for sure angry I look down at my feet, I don't know what to do. We return to the company in silence but when the car stops Ren's business face is back. I have trouble trying to reclaim my composer.
Ren stops before getting out of the car. "Listen it doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing, hurt or troubled you never let it show to anyone do you understand." Ren points at me sternly this wasn't the Ren Hashiro before me, this is an order from Lord Feng. I don't know how but I can tell.
"Yes, my lord." I force my best smile on, taking Ren's offered hand as I get out and stand next to him I notice Maliki smiling at me. As we walk by a whisper catches my ear.
"Sharp little thing." I didn't understand what Maliki meant but, I assume from his expression it was a complement.
