CHAPTER NINETEEN

Vincent's Pov

"Ouch!" Phoebe exclaimed causing my heart beat to increase as I stylishly peeked to see if she was seriously hurt, but I caught her pouting slightly while glancing through the contract with a wronged look on my face.

Staring at her, I felt my face grow hotter than it originally was, and some other part of my body, I used my hands to tap my cheeks trying to stay calm, and started reciting Pi numbers, what the hell is wrong with me?

When I was finally calmed, I looked back at Phoebe to see her staring at me with a strange look in her eyes, oh shit!

ARIEL'S POV

When Vincent applied balm on my hands I felt he was acting strange than what the news and people portrayed him to be, was he some kind of womanizer? I wondered as I tried to concentrate on the file I was reading.

I was finally done and looked up to Vincent prepared to ask a question only to see him patting his cheeks like a girl applying face powder and his eyes closed tightly looking like someone reciting some sutras.

By the time he finally opened his eyes, he was met with mine staring at him intently, yep it is certain, Vincent had a knock somewhere in his head, I hope it's not generic, I don't want my poor baby Jason catching it too, i was itching to ask, i wanted to know.

Would there be a cure? Could it be managed? "Miss Phoebe?" Vincent called out snapping me out of my thoughts, "Sir." I replied as much as possible not to have a breakdown.

"Have you decided yet?" He asked clearing his throat in order to ease the tension in the air.

"Ah! Yes! I see that in the contract it talks about me signing with Maximum entertainment instead, and speaks nothing of the movie." I remembered my earlier question which I wanted to ask.

"Your acting skills is flawless, I think it's best if you are signed to Maximum entertainment, so such talent would not be wasted, so sign the contract first and then later we'll talk about the movie." He explained, with his demeanour of a CEO bursting out immediately, but the threat in his words were not hidden.

In other words he meant, if you don't sign the contract then forget about the movie, tch, how shameless.

This is one me getting one goal down, it'll be easier to strike, "fine." I said simply reaching out for a pen laying on his table at the same time as him.

Shocked by our skin contact, My hands shook and let the pen fall to the ground.

What the hell was that electrifying feeling? "I'm sorry." I quickly apologized, going round the table to pick the pen up.

"You don't have to pick it up I'll do it." Vincent said bending down causing our head to bump into each other, what the hell is going on? Why does it feel like I am in one of those eccentric billionaire movie with a powerful CEO and a weak maiden in distress.

"What's going on here?" I heard a familiar voice shriek out in anger, a voice i would recognise no matter what, it is Mirabel who just walked in to me and Vincent staring at each other, how great!

I immediately picked up the pen and went to the corner to sign the papers, Mirabel was going to be Vincent's headache, since she obviously came for him.

"Why are you here without calling?" I heard Vincent ask with a cold voice, seems they already knew each other from before, I thought meaningfully.

"Vincent how can you say that, I am the mother of your child." Mirabel cried and my hands that signed on the papers paused, could it be that the girl I saw earlier was Mirabel and Vincent's child, but how could that be?

The director didn't tell me this, was that why he enrolled Jason in that school too? Many questions ran through my head at the moment as I tried to process the news i just heard, not noticing that Mirabel was already standing before me with an angry look on her face.

"Vincent is not a man of your league and he has a child so have some dignity!" She yelled at me, of course he had a child, Jason! I thought to myself secretly rolling my eyes at her.

"Miss is not what you think, please now, get out of my face." I responded her shutting the file with force since I was done signing it anyway.

"I will like to request from you sir, your baby's mama should be in check, so she won't go about attacking the innocent." I snorted slamming the file on his desk and I walked out fuming with anger for some reason.
