I’m Dedicated To You

The lake gives the perfect feeling of serenity which gives you the feeling of absolute peace but the lady looking at it is not having all those emotions because she is troubled. She looked at the lake and thought to herself. “This is the perfect place to die”.

The girl sitting at the lake is Georgina Grey, one of the most successful actresses in the country.

She was catapulted into fame by a video of her serving a customer at a coffee shop she worked at and ever since then she had dominated the showbiz world with her impeccable talent and stunning beauty but all those hard work and achievement went down the drain just because of one scandal.

“You can’t just lay me down because of a scandal, ” Georgina yelled, at the man sitting on the CEO’s chair.

“You need to slow down your voice Gina and hell yes I could do anything to you,” Samuel the man I respected the most barked at me.

“But you know the scandal is not true. I can’t do it. I don’t even know how to drink so well but they say I am doing drugs isn’t that ridiculous,” I say, reasonably hoping that he will believe me.

“I don’t trust my mama so, you think I will trust,” he says with a questioning smirk and that’s when the realization hits me.

“This is not just about the scandal right,” I asked, with a questioning look.

“What do you mean,” he asked, avoiding my eyes.

“Of course, it makes sense Manager Bee calls me to the club that she is in trouble and immediately ends the call but when I arrived at the club she was not in and I immediately left there but after I vacated the club police raided it and I was reported to also visited the club even though I didn’t stay long in the club but I was still associated with the scandal so, will you still tell me that it was all a coincidence?”I asked him looking at him.

“Wow no wonder you are known as the genius star you definitely have something up there that’s why you shouldn’t have played with fire since you are so smart you know that,” he says playing with his mustache that I once found admirable but now it disgusts me. I thought about what Samuel says and I can’t help but think hard about the phrase “You shouldn’t have played with fire” and I don’t seem to get it.

“What do you mean,” I asked, confused.

“Wow I thought you are smart you should be able to get it but I am going to tell you anyways the young master of the Tukes family is the one behind it,” he says and that got me off-guard but I have never offended him in anyways except me turning down his advances towards me.

“But all I ever do is reject his advances towards me,” I say, not believing that the reason could be the catalyst of the set-up. I stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds before I recovered myself.

“Since it’s just a scandal I will just lose some commercials and movies till the scandal dies down, it’s fine I will just lay low for the time being,” I say with a hopeful expression.

“Yeah but I don’t think you will be making a comeback anytime soon because you are FIRED,” Samuel says, dropping the bomb that I suspected but I don’t expect it to be this shattering.

“You are firing me because of a scandal you can control,” I yelled.

“Calm down darling, it looks like you haven’t read the trending headlines today. You are the hottest topic on the internet and the whole citizens of Newtown are talking about you and I don’t think our company can control that damage so, expect to hear from our lawyer over the contract breachment,” Samuel says.

“Breachment of contract!” I exclaimed angrily “You guys are the one that is firing me but you are holding me responsible for the contract breachment,” I say with a dangerous glint in my eyes.

“You are the one that caused the scandal that we can’t protect you from, so you have to pay us for the damages,” he says, smirking wickedly. Why did I even think this man is trustworthy?

I felt like crying so hard to show how hurt I am but I am not going to do that because my 24 years in this world as an orphan has taught me to never let anyone witness my miserable side.

“Ok,” that’s all I say, leaving his office in a trance.

“She is such a beautiful and brave girl but I can always find another girl to replace her,” Samuel says after Georgina leaves his office.

I walk through Dream Entertainment which has been my home for 6 years but now it feels so strange, especially from the disgusting stares from the workers and some of the artists at the agency even though I heard whispers of people badmouthing me I still walk with my head high and acts as nothing bothers me.

“GG GG” I heard someone calling me by my artist name. I turned and saw one of the intern managers at the company.

“Kira, how are you?” I asked her, trying to form a smile even though I know I can’t do it.

“I believe you didn’t do it,” she says with clear eyes and I know that she is telling the truth.

“Thanks,” I say and she nods her head acknowledging.

“Can I please ask you where Manager Bee is?” She told me she is managing one of the new artists and they went to the Tukes group. I thanked her and was about to go and give the people who bullied me a visit but Kira called me back.

“GG it will be nice for you to take the back entrance because of the reporters at the front,” she says, and I smiled at her. I almost forgot about that, I quickly made my way to the back entrance with different stares from people that once admired me but such is life.

TUKES GROUP

I walked into the Tukes group through the back entrance and made my way to the CEO’s office but on my way, I attracted different stares from people. Of course, I am still the Georgina Grey of showbiz.

“Is the CEO in?” I asked the secretary that’s looking at me dumbfounded by my appearance but before she can get herself I already make my way to the CEO’s office and I met him with Manager Bee and a girl I don’t know sitting on the stupid young master’s lap, I think that’s the new artist Kira is talking about but I don’t care about the situation they were in, I walked towards the CEO’s sit and I gave the spoilt young master three resounding slaps on his face.

“That’s for ruining my life,” I said and he was dumbstruck.

“How dare you slap the CEO”Manager Bee yelled. I looked at her with fire in my eyes and she backed down when she met my eyes.

“Don’t push my limit Bee. I am trying everything possible to hold my fire in and you know I can be nasty when angry”. I say.

“Don’t you think you are acting high and might I still make you disappear from the face of the earth?” the spoiled young master says crossing his legs and I can’t help but shiver in fear which I didn’t let show.

“I will be waiting for your action, “I say.

“You don’t need to wait I am swift when it comes to something like this,” he says and I started making my way out of the office because I am done with his bulls**t but some policemen make their way into the office.

“You are under arrest Georgina Grey for drug abuse, “one of the policemen says showing me a warrant…
