One Wild Night Chapter 529 Don’t Tell

Sonia walked into Bryan's bedroom and saw him seated on the bed with his phone to his ear, speaking with Jeff.

"Alright. You don't have to co over. I need to leave the house anyway, so I will et you both instead," Bryan said and turned to look at Sonia.

"It's Jeff," he inford her and then chuckled at sothing Jeff said.

"I believe she has forgiven you. But you'll have to confirm for yourself when you see her," Bryan said and then paused as he listened to Jeff again.

"Alright, sure. I will try to see if I can convince Samantha to prepare so for you both," Bryan said before hanging up.

"Jeff sent his apologies, and Mia sent her love," Bryan said as he scrolled through his phone for Samantha's contact.

Sonia smiled at the ntion of Mia, "Is she living with Jeff?" Sonia asked as she went to sit beside Bryan.

"Yeah. Didn't I ntion that they will both be sharing Tom's apartnt? I an the one beside Lucy's apartnt," Bryan said as he dialed the number, and Sonia shook her head.

"Maybe you did, and I forgot. Is everything alright?" Sonia asked curiously since the tone of the conversation from Bryan's end had been serious when she walked in.

"Give a second," Bryan told Sonia when Samantha received his call, and he quickly requested for her to pack a al for Mia and Jeff.

Once he was done, he faced her again. "Everything is okay. Jeff called to report the expected issues following the interview. Paul had been breathing fire initially but seeing how the agency's stocks keep plumting. He is now wanting to reconcile. Unfortunately, he can't get through to anymore, so he is bothering Jeff and Mia," Bryan said with a sigh.

Jeff had started buying out as many of the shares as he could get the mont the stock began to fall. Bryan had done his best by trying to warn Paul that Tom was involved and he was a little fish in the ocean filled with sharks, but Paul had not paid heed to his advice. Now Paul was going to lose Golden Star, and he would have no one to bla but himself.

"Do you feel bad about it?" Sonia asked as she studied his expression.

"No, I don't. His greed and ego put him in this situation, not . Derek, on the other hand, is threatening to take Jeff to court for using him and tarnishing his image in that manner. And there are a couple of calls from producers and companies who want to et with to discuss movie roles and endorsent deals," Bryan summarized, and Sonia smiled.

"It's all good. I know you can handle all of it," Sonia said confidently, and Bryan nodded.

"Yeah."

"So we are going to see them?" Sonia asked, and Bryan looked at her with an unreadable expression.

"I'm going to see them, but you are welco to go with if you want to," he said, and Sonia rolled her eyes.

"Did you have to say it that way? Sounds like I'm actually not welco to co with you," she said, and Bryan shook his head.

"No. That is saying I can't dictate for you or us. I'm leaving you to make the decision to co with on your own. You could have made other plans to hang out with Lucy or Jade or even to write," Bryan said, and Sonia sighed.

"Alright. I've heard you, and I'm coming with you. I don't think I have other plans. I'm not sure I will be setting eyes on Lucy today. She already made it clear she belonged to Tom for the whole of the day. The house will be boring without you. Jade is busy. Candace and Jamal should have left for Harry's by now. And your parents and the Perrys are busy with their own stuff. So you see? You are stuck with , my dearest boyfriend," Sonia said with a grin as she placed both hands on his cheeks and pulled them together to make a funny face.

Bryan chuckled, "I guess this is one reason people go into relationships. They want soone who will be with them when all their friends are too busy to hang out," Bryan said dryly, and Sonia shook her head.

"No, I don't agree. Or maybe I agree, but only partially. We go into relationships because we want our own person. Soone who can fulfill so, if not all, of our emotional needs. Soone we click with both physically and emotionally. Soone who I expect to cuddle and kiss my shoulder or neck or forehead or knuckles whenever we make physical contact," Sonia said as she stood from where she was seated and sat on his thigh, making Bryan laugh.

"Like this?" he asked as he kissed her shoulder.

"Yeah. Soone whose presence makes our eyes light up. Sotis you get tired of just fucking and want soone you can make love with. Soone who makes us feel at ho like you make feel," Sonia said as she gazed into Bryan's eyes, and he held her gaze.

"Do I really make you feel that way?"

"Yes, you do, baby. And that's why you are stuck with ," Sonia assured him, and Bryan grinned.

"You are stuck with too," Bryan said, and then he kissed her.

"I was going to ask, is Lucy the only friend you have? I've never heard you talk about anyone else," Bryan asked after he broke the kiss.

"Not anymore. I have Jade and Candace now, while Lu remains my best friend. Although before now, I had other acquaintances, yeah. But Lucy used to be like my only friend. I was her only friend too," Sonia explained, and Bryan nodded.

"What about you? Is Matt your only friend?" She asked, and Bryan shook his head.

"No. I used to have a lot of friends, but because of my career, I couldn't always keep up. It's easier to be friends with Matt because we share the sa career," Bryan explained and then glanced at the wall clock.

"I should probably go see Jade now concerning Derek's lawsuit threat," Bryan said as he attempted to rise, but Sonia held him back.

"Derek is not going to do anything. He's rely barking, so let's not give him any more attention than we have already..."

"And what if he goes ahead to do it?" Bryan asked, and Sonia shrugged.

"Then I hope you don't mind others seeing the nude pictures he sent to you 'cause I'm going to sue him for that," Sonia said, and Bryan shook his head.

"Nah. I don't want that. Not because I'm ashad or anything. I just don't want your business out there more than it is already. I won't let things get to that extent," Bryan said, and Sonia sighed.

"Alright. But you have to wait a bit before eting Jade. She is distracted right now. Her mind is filled with thoughts of Harry, and they're probably still talking over the phone right now, or she might be getting ready to go over to see him. He sent her flowers and chocolates just to say good morning. It was so beautiful and heartwarming to see her speechless after fuming only minutes before," Sonia said with a grin, and Bryan chuckled.

"Flowers and chocolates?"

"Yep. And a handwritten note. It was such an old-fashioned and sweet gesture. We were all touched. By we, I an your mom and Janet included," Sonia said, and Bryan made a ntal note to do that for her soti in the future.

"I see. Let's get ready to leave, then. I can talk to her on our way out," Bryan said, and they both rose and helped each other undress before going in to shower.

They were still in the shower when Bryan's phone started ringing, and Bryan quickly finished up and left Sonia in the shower to get his phone.

Bryan quickly covered up in his bathrobe before reaching for his phone, and he received the call imdiately he saw that it was Matt.

"What's up, man?" Bryan asked as he sat back on the bed.

"Read you showed up like a fool with flowers to surprise Sony but ended up getting surprised," Matt said in amusent, and Bryan chuckled.

"It's good to see you've finally learned how to use your phone, dumbass," Bryan fired back.

"Seeing how lively you sound, I take it you and Sonia are cool now. You're no longer sulking like an idiot," Matt taunted.

"You're such a bastard. How was your date last night?" Bryan asked when he recalled that Matt had ntioned sothing about a date the previous day.

"Man, I don't want to talk about it," Matt said with a groan, and that piqued Bryan's curiosity even more.

"Did sothing happen?" Bryan asked with a grin, eager to hear it so he could taunt Matt.

"Not exactly. I found out she is a weightlifter," Matt said in a tone that made Bryan sputter with laughter.

"That was not supposed to be funny," Bryan said as he tried to compose himself while Sonia, who had just stepped out of the shower, looked at him with interest, wondering who was on the phone.

"Well, it isn't. I'm just not cut out for being with soone that could sweep off my feet literally," Matt said dryly, and Bryan chuckled as he watched Sonia move around as she dressed up.

"Can you believe she asked how much I weighed? She kept going on and on about how people never believed she was a weight lifter because of her physique, and she even joked about lifting from the restaurant door to my car at the end of our date," Matt said, and Bryan laughed harder.

"Well, look on the bright side. On your wedding day, you get to try sothing different. The bride can lift the groom bridal style," Bryan said with laughter, and Matt found himself chuckling too.

"I'm really not against her hobby, career, occupation, or whatever she chooses to call it. But I'd rather be with a feminine woman. You know, soone who can rely on for protection and who will call to help her lift stuff and open jars or containers. That sort of thing," Matt explained.

"Yeah, I get what you an. So how did it end? Did you let her lift you to your car?" Bryan asked in amusent and reached out to slap Sonia's ass playfully when she walked past him.

"Of course not! Paul called for an impromptu eting, so we had to call it a night. I dropped her off at her apartnt, but I never looked back after I drove off," Matt said, and Bryan raised a brow.

"You didn't kiss her goodnight or go in for coffee?" Bryan asked, and Matt chuckled.

"She offered, but I told her I was in a hurry. There was no need to lead her on," Matt said with a sigh.

"So about Paul," Matt continued.

"Paul?"

"Yep. I told you he called for a eting last night. That brings to the second reason I called..."

"You don't intend to ask to settle with Paul, do you?" Bryan asked with disapproval.

"I would be an idiot to do so, considering all he has said and done. Paul is desperate, and everyone at the agency is worried. I've received quite a number of phone calls this morning. One thing I know for sure is that Paul didn't expect you to do that interview or sell him out that way. You can't imagine the effect your action is having on the stock," Matt said, and Bryan shrugged.

"I warned him. What about you? Why don't you jump out of the sinking ship and join I-Global entertainnt?" Bryan offered.

"I was going to get to that later. I overheard sothing disturbing. Sothing about Paul taking pictures of you and Sophia in compromising positions," Matt said, and Bryan raised a brow.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Paul's office. He was inside the office talking with Sophia when I arrived. It's the weekend, so his secretary wasn't around. I overheard them before I could make my presence known," Matt explained, and Bryan shook his head.

"He's never going to stop plotting, is he?"

"Well, I confronted him. I couldn't just pretend I didn't hear anything. I just called to be sure you had nothing with Sophia," Matt said, and Bryan smiled.

"I didn't. The funny thing is I suspected it. I told Sonia there was sothing suspicious about Sophia the last ti I saw her. She was all over , and that was weird," Bryan said, and Sonia paused to look at him.

"Well, I guess he is only trying to desperately reconcile now because you caught him. I'm done with him."

"I'm done too. I let him know I would be leaving Golden Star as soon as I was done with my pending assignnts. I can't keep working with soone like him," Matt said, and Bryan laughed happily.

"I love this. I will let Jeff and the others know about this. We will be looking forward to having you here."

"I'm beginning to look forward to that too. Give my love to Sonia. I have to go now," Matt said before hanging up.

"What was that about?" Sonia asked curiously, and Bryan told her all they had discussed.

Sonia smiled, "I'm glad his date didn't work out. I want things to work out between him and Candace. And with him coming down here, I think there is a chance for them."

Bryan angled his head as he thought about it, "Oh, shit! Now he's going to have to deal with Harry and their dad too," Bryan said, and Sonia giggled.

"How I love Ludus," Sonia said as she picked up her phone to text Candace to let her know it didn't work out between Matt and his date. Although Candace didn't ask her for such information, and Candace denied being interested in Matt, Jade had told her about their agreent. So Candace could try again.

​ Bryan glanced at his phone when it started ringing again and raised a brow when he saw it was from Matt, "Did you forget sothing?"

"Yes. Please don't tell Sonia about my date...."

"You called too late. I already did," Bryan said apologetically.

"Can you ask her not to tell your sister or Candace about it?" Matt asked hopefully. He didn't want Candace to know. He had deliberately told them he was going on a date because he wanted her to know he had moved on. He would feel too embarrassed if she heard of it.

"Sure, I will. Take care," Bryan said as he hung up the call and turned to Sonia.

"You're not to tell.... what are you doing?" Bryan asked when he saw she wasn't listening.

"I just sent a text to our girls' group to let them know Matt's date didn't work. Now Candace can try to get him," Sonia announced with a grin, and Bryan groaned inwardly.

"So what were you saying?" She asked with a wide smile.
