People in low class

Shuffle Playlist: Never Been In Love by Lauren Spencer Smith.

San Francisco

Celia's mansion.

''Celia, you need to see this. '' Celia's assistant, Amanda ran into the hall where Celia was seated, having her breakfast.

''What is it, Amanda?'' Celia wiped the bread crumbs in her hands with her a piece of tissue before taking the iPad from Amanda.

''Mr. Maraj has released a statement that the engagement between you two is false news and that he is planning to sue TMZ and the blogs that sent out the news.'' Amanda said as she panted for breath.

''How can Vincent do this to me? Didn't we discuss this already?'' Celia stood up and held the iPad tightly as she scrolled through the information.

''Celia, isn't he putting you in a tight spot by doing this? Both families already agreed to it but Mr. Maraj is still refusing to accept it. Could it be because of that woman?''

Celia turned and looked at Amanda. ''Sabrina?''

''Yes. Didn't you already find evidence of them going to Milan together? In the past, even if rumors of you and Mr. Maraj circulated around, he didn't react this way to it. Why is he suddenly coming out to debunk them? Isn't it because of that woman? He doesn't want that woman to misunderstand him. I thought that when he gave you the role of the female lead, everything was cemented about your relationship but this bitch had to come between you two again.''

The more Celia listened to Amanda's words, the more she was certain that Vincent is clearing up the rumors because of Sabrina and it made her agitated. She yelled and threw the iPad on the floor.

''I am going to get that woman. Vincent is my man. He is mine. He can only belong to me. I didn't lose to that woman and finally got rid of her. I didn't do all that for Sabrina to come and take Vincent away from me.'' Celia blurted out and her face changed.

Realizing she had blurted out something sensitive, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth and looked around.

''Celia, don't worry. I've asked all the servants and the housekeeper to leave before coming in. Tell me, how do you want to deal with that Sabrina?''

Celia's face turned into a sneer. She let out a hysterical chuckle and moved to sit back on the chair. ''Aren't we beginning filming in a few weeks' time?''

Amanda smirked. ''I understand. We will use the same method we used on Miss Yvette.'' Amanda replied and gave Celia a knowing gaze.

….

Luna Estates.

''What game is Vincent playing? Two days ago, he was engaged to Celia. Today, the news is false and he is even suing TMZ? Why didn't he say so from the get-go?'' Tia looked up from the iPad and at Sabrina.

Sabrina was having her breakfast. She didn't seem bothered by the news as she ate her food.

''Darling, why are you so quiet? This is good news.'' Tia asked.

Sabrina shook her head. ''I don't know how to feel about that. I just want to stay far away from that man. He isn't someone I want to be close to anymore.''

''Why?'' Bia asked. ''Is it because he saw you in that state yesterday?''

''No! Well, that is also a point, but I just don't feel like getting mixed with him anymore.''

''But you like him. What if this is your sign to start a relationship with him?'' Tia placed the iPad aside and looked at Sabrina.

''Do you know what happens when a girl is rejected? I gave him a chance to explain but instead of doing that he got angry with me and spoke to me condescendingly. Tia, I could have sworn I felt a connection between us when we were in Milan, but what did he do? He dismissed it.''

''Really?''

''Darling, I swear he heard it that night when I suddenly blurted out that I liked him. He was so good to me. I thought we were at lease friends, but he didn't even see the need to explain the rumor of his engagement with Celia. He hurt my pride and that is my bottom line. I will never be with a man who disregards my feelings in such a manner.''

''But he is Vincent Maraj, he is a man in his own league.''

''Darling, why do I feel that you are finding excuses for him?'' Sabrina frowned.

''I'm just saying that, he might have addressed this issue because he wanted you to know he isn't engaged to Celia. If not, why would he suddenly clear it up after seeing you yesterday?''

Sabrina sighed. ''I don't know. I'm just angry. Anytime I think about how he spoke to me in the car and tried to gaslight me, I feel angry and disappointed. The only contact I will have with him is going to be through this project. I just want to stay away from him.''

''Aunt, whatever you decide to do, I will support you.'' Bia placed her hand on Sabrina's shoulder.

''Thank you, my love.''

…..

Tyme Magazine.

CEO's Office.

After signing a few documents, Vincent handed the file to Georgia before asking. ''Send the contract out to the actors that qualified. Once they confirm and send back the signed contract, we will proceed with scheduling the day for the script reading. Meanwhile, contact Director Eric and tell him to go ahead with the selection of the production crew members.''

''Yes, CEO, I will get it done right away.'' Georgia turned to leave and Vincent spoke again.

''Georgia, bring Sabrina's contract to me and tell her to come to the company and sign it personally.''

Georgia smiled and nodded her head. ''Yes, CEO.''

Vincent removed his gold rimmed glasses and massaged the space between his eyes. He stood up and walked to the tinted glass window and lifted his hand. Even though it had healed, the scar was still there.

Vincent smiled, reminiscing on the day he saved Sabrina. He remembered how careful and worried she was about his health. A rare smile appeared. He realized that he has been smiling more than usual since her appearance.

A phone called jolted him back and he turned to the table. When Vincent saw the call from his mother he sighed before picking up.

''Hello, mum.''

''Vincent, come home after work tonight. Why did you put out that statement? Do you know how angry your father is?'' Mrs. Maraj asked over the phone.

''He shouldn't have gone ahead to send out that information without my consent. Does he even consider my feelings?''

''Vincent, your father is doing what's best for you. You are our only son; he just wants you to marry someone who can support you in the future.''

Growing up, his father had always tried to take control of his life and make decisions for him. Vincent wasn't going to allow that happen especially when it concerned choosing a life partner.

''I still have work to do. Let's talk when I come home.'' Vincent hung up and turned to face the window once again.

….

Later that evening.

Ground Pavilion- Maraj mansion.

As soon as Ben Maraj saw Vincent entering the hall, his countenance changed. He was still angry at him.

''Mum, dad, I'm home.'' Vincent announced his presence and sat at the hall.

''Vincent, you are here. You are just in time for dinner. Let me bring you some fruits to eat first.'' Mrs. Maraj juggled between the kitchen and the hall. She was preparing dinner with a servant.

''Mum, no need to bring me fruits. I have dinner appointment with someone. I only came to see you and dad.'' Vincent stopped his mother from bringing him the fruits. He just wanted to talk to his father and leave the house.

''Dad, I'm here.'' Vincent turned to his father.

''You are determined to go against me, right? Vincent, why can't you see the hard work I am putting into your marriage with Celia? She is the only daughter of her family and you are our only son. Once you get married, everything she has will belong to you. Why can't you understand the sacrifices I am making for you?''

''Vincent, do you know how angry Celia's parents are because of this statement that you put out?'' Mr. Maraj Senior asked.

''That is why you shouldn't arrange my marriage for me. I am a grown man and I can do whatever I want. I have the right to choose the woman I want to marry.''

''The last time I gave you the chance to choose, what happened? You went for that Yvette and how did that end?''

'Didn't she commit suicide at her workplace to attract sympathy and put you in a difficult situation? That is why you shouldn't mix with people in low class.'' Ben Maraj spoke with contempt.

''Father, you are crossing the line.'' Vincent became agitated and yelled.

''What? Did you just yell at me?''

Vincent stood up. ''You don't have the right to mention Yvette's name after what you put her through. Also, I will never get married to Celia. I do not love her and I never will.''

Ben stood up and picked a brown envelope from the side. He tore it open and threw the pictures at Vincent. ''I see you messing with another actress, this time is a voice actress. You even took her to Milan with you. Vincent, why won't you ever learn that these kinds of women only want what they can get from you?''
