Chapter 184 - One Hundred And Eighty-four: Hack Her Bodyparts (2/2)

”Who are you? ” I asked, safety-conscious.

”I'm Camille,” she replied.

” How do I know you and what do you want from me?”

”I'm your manager and Eden sent me ”

Manager? Eden? Ah right, I forgot I had signed the contract documents with Eden's agency and as custom demands, would be provided a manager.

I opened the door and ushered her into my flat, ”Please, come in”

The pretty blonde woman walked into the house with a curious gape and she looked quite familiar even though I can't place my finger where I had exactly seen her.

”I apologize for the interrogation but this district is not exactly crime-free” I lied to her.

Well, what was I supposed to say? I can't specifically tell her that I'm escaping from a creepy mafia lord who's insisting on having dinner with me - the girl he's intent on killing.

Who knows whether this is Sakuzi's ploy to make me lower my defenses, so they can drug me through the meal and when unconscious, they would send my body to a secret butchering house at night. There they would hack it to pieces and send my decorated body parts to various members of Spencer's family as presents - what a vicious man!

I refuse to play right into his hand, so I would avoid him at all cost. But what if he barges into my place- he has the power to do so - what would I do? I had no backer anymore.

Well, I would think about that later, Camille doesn't have all the time in the world.

”No worries, I understand. But you don't need to worry, your housing is being arranged as we speak” she notified me.

Oh, I was surprised, that fast? I'm going to miss this apartment which had journeyed with me throughout my impoverished years. Thanks a lot, buddy.

”I'm not trying to pry or something but have we met before?” I couldn't hold back my curiosity anymore.

Camille chuckled, ”I was beginning to wonder when you were going to ask that ”

My brows furrowed and I pointed to my chest, ”You know me?”

”Yeah, we met during the Spencer Group gala event, I was Niklaus' dancing partner- briefly”

”Oh,” I nodded. For a minute, hearing her say she was Niklaus' dancing partner made me a bit jealous until I heard the ”briefly”

You wouldn't exactly blame me for being jealous since Camille was quite beautiful with her blonde hair, charming hazel eyes, a normal breast size, a few inches taller than me and she had a qualified backside- if you know what I mean.

”Your boyfriend Niklaus' was so jealous that you were dancing with Eden so I came up with a plan which made you switch partners with me”

Now I remembered, it was that time Niklaus cut in on my dance with Eden, so it was her.

She continued, ”I don't care what the rumors say about you but I'm one hundred percent sure that Niklaus loved you. You are not a relationship wrecker”

Wow, good to know that my manager is a fan.

”Alright, back to business,” she said and made herself comfortable on my couch and started.

”It's quite a relief that Lisa got the lead role instead of you else there would have been a huge delay in shooting”

Oh, that scaredy-cat got my role, congrats to her.

”When are you going to be verified healthy by the doctor?” She asked, taking a bite out of the biscuit I served her.

”In two weeks, I'll be going for a check-up but the doctor says I'm free to go about my activities normally as far as I don't do anything extremely strenuous”

”Alright, I'll draft up a schedule for you then,” she said, putting down some stuff into her tablet.

”And again” she bit on her lips nervously, ” I did some sort of survey,” she said, bringing out a sheet of the document from the file holder she was carrying.

”I'm not going to lie, Maya. Your fate in this industry is not looking bright, you're one of the most hated upcoming actresses of all times”

”That got to be an achievement, right ?” I attempted a joke which didn't elicit the desired effect.

”Your accident bought a few sympathetic fans but that's akin to your life hanging on a thin line. I'm sorry to say this but if you encounter one more scandal, you might have to kick your acting career goodbye”

Wow, this just keeps getting better.
