Beginning of Something New

*Sophia's point of view*

One week has passed since I had that dinner with GD, one week since I last saw that jerk Ethan, one week since GD made any calls to us.

" What's taking them so long Carl, I mean they were in such a hurry to sign the buy-out contract and now I'm just sitting at home jobless".

" Sophia it's been one week, just one week since you became an official member of GD, they're definitely still sorting things out and that said one week isn't enough time for you to get worried about being jobless. After all I thought you hated your job".

" Well no, I've always had a passion for acting, I love my job but my problem is the stress and sometimes unwanted attention that comes with it. The lack of privacy is mind blowing".

" I hear you".

" And what are you even doing here, don't you have your own house Carl?".

" Well apparently I work for someone who has no friends, has little to no social skills when it comes to dealing with celebrities and is a prominent candidate for a sociopath, I think that question answers itself".

" I'm bored".

" Try watching a movie or something, maybe something from your favorite actress".

" Sure but I haven't decided which of her works I'd like to watch, maybe I'll watch " Diary of a night watchman".

" Whatever rocks your boat princess".

Carl cut short when his phone rang and rang and he looked at me smiling.

" What, what is it?".

" It's GD, guess they've been thinking about you too".

He took the call before it ended and all he said was, " yes, okay, understood, of course there's no issue at all, I'll take her there right now, thank you so much for this".

" What is it, come on spill".

I moved from one end of the bed to the other in anticipation until he spilled

" They've got a script they know you'll love".

" Yesssss".

Jumping up and down on my bed screaming finally like a little kid, what is wrong with me.

" Get dressed, I'm meant to take you to GD so hurry up".

*Ethan's point of view*

I feel.... exhausted

" Your brother has been discharged from the hospital, so why isn't he here, are you planning on taking my advice on dumping him somewhere?".

" Hell no, it's just, I feel exhausted, don't know why I've been feeling this way lately, I just need a little bit more time to rest, I'll bring him home soon".

" I care for your mental health and trust me at this rate you might not live long enough to get married, mental exhaustion and being an everyday something at that isn't a good sign you know".

" I'll be fine Daven, you worry too much".

Daven received a call which he took, and a gave a forward response.

" Okay, we'll be there soon".

He looked at me and I knew it was a call from GD.

" What's wrong now?".

" Nothing, apparently they have a script they know you'll love, pull yourself together, let's go".

I got up, changed, put on a more charming look and we left for GD. Good thing there was no traffic cause we arrived sooner than usual or I'm I just the one overthinking things. Walking down the hall we heard someone screaming, people gathered murmuring and I saw the security throwing a woman and her son out, but I didn't intervene, I just walked away with Daven by my side.

" What do you think is going on over there?".

" What do you think I am Ethan, ominiscient".

I just rolled my eyes, we arrived at the office and we saw Daniel standing outside, Stella' manager.

" Daniel, what's up, what are you doing here?".

" I came to get a script for Stella, the Director of Talent has one for you too, seems you'll be working with Sophia Yvette again, I guess you guys are destined to be".

He gave a weird laugh and buzzed off.

" How does Stella keep up with that guy, I can't stand him".

" Ethan you can't stand anyone that's not me, let's go inside".

Daven followed me into the director' office, and he smiled at us warmly.

" Good day sir, you called".

" Yes Ethan, have this".

He passed the script to his secretary who passed it to Daven.

" Well thank you__".

" It's a script for a movie on psychological healing and evaluation, it'll be the first time you'll be acting on a project like this but something in me knows that you're the best fit for the job, besides you've been quite inactive in the movie sector of the industry, a script like this is all you need, that's why I took the initiative to get the script myself, you'll be playing lead roles with Sophia Yvette, I think you both have good chemistry that viewers would love".

Sophia Yvette again, I sighed inwardly but expressed gratitude in his presence.

" Thank you sir, it's an honor that you chose this script yourself, I'll go through it and give you my feedback on whether I actually like it or not".

" Of course, I can only propose an offer, I can't force you to take it".

I bowed my head and left, I heard footsteps on the stairs and something told me it was her, Sophia, and I was unfortunately right.

*Sophia's point of view*

Going up the stairs with Carl behind me I bumped into Ethan and Daven, he looked as sophisticated and dreamy as ever, total hot catch if it wasn't for his obvious bad attitude. I saw a script in Daven' hand and my heart sank, it was like a staring contest with no one wanting to be the loser, that was until he rolled his eyes and walked down the stairs without saying a single word, rude.

I took a deep breathe before walking to the director's office and he smiled on seeing me, I'm sure he smiled when he saw Ethan too.

*Ethan's point of view*

" Tell me Daven is the universe against me, is it that my stars don't align properly, did I offend anyone and they cursed me, cause why I'm I always having more reasons to be exhausted, from my brother to my career and now I'm being paired with that.....woman".

" It's good you said woman, and not something degrading, stop whining like a baby, if the director of talents feels it'll work out then it'll work out, besides I've always advised you against mixing up your personal life with your professional life".

" I don't know, it's just__".

I heard someone crying at a corner and went to check with Daven, the same woman who we saw inside, she held her little boy, he should be around nine years old from his look. The woman saw us and wiped her face and bowed in greeting.

" Good day sirs".

" Good day ma'am, why are you still here crying, didn't the security throw you out?".

Daven gave me a " you didn't just say that look" mixed with a face of " I'm tired of you Ethan".

" Well they kept us here, they said when we're tired we'll leave".

" Well that's embarrassing, why are you here, what's the problem?".

" We stay in on a land owned by a celebrity that works here, apparently he wants to demolish the building on that land and he didn't give us any prior notice, bulldozers are all over the place, my husband is late and I have no one to turn to, I haven't even fed properly and now a roof over our head is about to be a problem".

" What's the name of the celebrity?".

" Ryan Foxx".

" Oh Ryan, that bastard, I thought I was heartless until I met him, isn't he like Stella's best friend".

" Friends or Friends with benefits?".

" Whatever the situation they are close, how old is your son".

" He's eight, he has dropped out from school, I can't fund his fees".

Shoot and I said nine, I was so close.

" Do you have any certificates, job experiences, anything at all?".

" I worked as a cleaner all my life, that's the only job experience I have, and I'm not educated".

" Alright then, how would you like to work for me, as a cleaner of course, I'll pay you well, you'll have a magnificent roof over your head and I'll train your boy in school".

She practically wanted to kiss my feet but I stepped back, she was in tears. Daven pulled me to a corner.

*Sophia's point of view*

" If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't want to disrespect the director then I would have rejected this script, working with that jerk is a big no for me".

" Chill out Sophia, calm down".

I saw Ethan and Daven discussing by a corner with a woman crying close to them, gosh, does he go around humiliating poor people too, I was walking up to them about to give him a piece of my mind with Carl trying his best to discourage me when I heard their conversation.

" Listen I know her story sounds pitiful and all but you can't just bring a stranger into your home, you've even offered to train her son, that's more than enough, we don't know who this woman is, you're a celebrity, even an average human shouldn't live such a carefree life, humans are dangerous remember".

" Yes I remember, honestly I can never forget, but there's something about this lady, I have a hunch that I'm doing the right thing, let's just go with the flow".

Daven still looked skeptical but Ethan's mind was made up, they went back to the lady and Ethan offered her his handkerchief which she took and wiped her tears, Daven helped her get up and Ethan took the boy's hand.

This is Ethan Wyatt, the same man who acts so rude and disdainful, my mind flashed back to when I saw him at that orphanage, does he have a split personality disorder or what, I can't wrap my head around him, he looked at the boy with so much care that my heart raced.

His phone rang and he handed the boy over to his mother, Daven took them to his car and he stayed back to take the call, due to the noise in the area he put the call on speaker, I moved in closer to hear what was going on out of plain curiosity.

" Sir, your brother's acting up again, he's throwing everything in his sight, Fallon has been injured as well, he keeps screaming and asking for you".

" I'm coming".

What did I just hear, his brother is acting up, Ethan Wyatt has a brother, what the hell is going on with this man.
