"Eh? Bulldozer?" Kace was speechless as he stared at her and called his black leather boots bulldozers.
"Of course they are bulldozers, that’s the perfect na to call them. And after you stepped on , you didn’t even apologize to even till now," Allison continued.
"Eh?"
Allison turned even more annoyed with Kace not saying anything except eh so she turned to leave but he stopped her again.
"I’m sorry for stepping on your feet and spoiling your sandals," Kace apologized.
Allison’s eyes narrowed at Kace, finding his apology a little suspicious.
She had thought he was going to argue with her but he gave in quite easily, surprising her.
"I had no idea I stepped on your sandals. If I had known, I would have apologized to you. I’m sorry again, miss," Kace added.
Allison sighed, her eyes softening as she smiled at him. "It’s a good thing you are not a spoiled brat as I thought you were, and I’m sorry for calling you one too," she said.
"Let make it up to you by buying you sandals," Kace offered but Allison imdiately objected to the idea.
She found it weird and inappropriate if he bought her sandals just to nd a mistake he had already apologized for.
"I don’t think there’s a need for that. Your apology is more than enough," she replied, her smile widening even more on her lips which had Kace beco amazed by it.
He imdiately shook his head as if there was a bee flying in circles around it.
"Alright, if you say so."
More days passed with Xavier sending a food truck to the set to serve food to Selene.
Michelle bore witness to everything just like the other colleagues and her jealousy was about to fire bullets at Selene if they could.
"Selene is so lucky, she had Xavier Wallace bring her lunch to the set every day for almost a month now. Are they dating?" One of the actresses asked another who was seated beside her as she scooped a spoon filled with ice cream and ate it.
"Isn’t it obvious? I an he always brought food trucks to the set every single day. And when he’s able to make it here himself, he will bring flowers along," the other one replied.
"But how do you think they t? I an, Selene is a newbie actress who hasn’t gained much popularity yet but she has already caught a big fish like Xavier Wallace."
"Didn’t you see her at the birthday party of old Wallace? She was there. That was where I first saw her and perhaps, that was where they t," said another.
"Oh really? Wow, she’s so lucky."
"I bet she ward his bed," said one who had just taken a seat beside the two who were chatting among themselves.
"I don’t think so."
The bitter one chuckled slightly. "Isn’t it obvious? A newbie actress debuted barely a month ago and she already had Xavier Wallace sending food for her everyday. She’s warming his bed for him every night."
The two actresses who were first discussing earlier glanced at each other before shrugging their shoulders nonchalantly. They didn’t know exactly the kind of relationship they shared since Xavier had not revealed anything about their relationship. And when they tried getting the truth out of Selene, she simply said they were just friends.
Unbeknownst to them, Michelle had been listening to their conversation from start to finish. An evil smirk appeared on her lips, a nasty idea being born in her mind.
"Mia," Michelle called her assistant. "I have sothing I want you to do for ."
Michelle brought out her phone and took a picture of Selene who was eating an ice cream.
"I’m sending you this picture and I want you to release sothing when it’s nightti with a different account," she ordered.
Mia who was behind her nodded, with a similar evil smirk on her lips, already having an idea of what Michelle was going to instruct her to do.
Back where Selene and Kace were seated, Selene scooped a spoon of her ice cream as her thoughts wandered.
"Why do you think Xavier is doing this?" She suddenly asked, shocking Kace who thought she already caught the hint Xavier was trying to pass to her.
’Are their EQs equally low?’ Kace couldn’t help but wonder.
"I an, you know your brother way better than I do, so why do you think he’s acting this way?" Selene added, staring at Kace for an answer.
Kace had always been beside her and he was already turning into her bestie, since they would talk about random things and make each other laugh until she was entirely comfortable around Kace. She believed she could share her thoughts with him.
She also noticed how different he was from his other two brothers. While Richard was the deadbeat and Xavier was the workaholic and always being the most serious one, Kace was completely different. She didn’t know exactly what he did for a living but his jovial personality made her to be able to associate with people even more.
"It’s either my brother is doing this because he loves you or because he hates you," he blurted out whatever ca to his mind without minding.
"Huh?! What’s that supposed to an?" She questioned, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "I asked you a simple question and you replied with such a riddle."
Kace resisted the urge to facepalm his forehead at the mont.
He simply sighed.
"You asked a question and I’ve replied to you, Selene. You can go ahead and pick whichever answer you want from the options I’ve given to you."
Selene frowned, before sighing as well.
"By the way, how old is Xavier?" She suddenly asked.
"He’s thirty-three," Kace replied.
The ice cream cup that was in Selene’s hands dropped.
"He’s thirty-three? He’s nearly a decade older than . He’s nine years older than ," she nearly scread.
"Will you calm down? It’s just a small age gap."
"He’s nine years older than ," she repeated, as if in a trance.
