Me
Love you.
Ari responds immediately.
Ari
Love you too.
I’m so pumped I accidentally drop my phone onto the floor earning another groan from Jay, yeah he might just put that pillow over my face any minute now.
“Sorry.” I whisper and put my phone down gently on the nightstand and turn on my side falling into a deep sleep with a smile on my face.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Ari
I sleep like hell.
I missed having him in my bed, and now I know I have to go try to convince Director Simon.
I try to gain my courage, grab a protein bar, and at six in the morning go to the production studio on property and knock on the door. Director Simon is in a beanie, a gray sweatshirt and black sweats staring at the screens editing.
“Hey.” I come sit next to him. “Can we talk?”
“I already know,” He doesn’t even look at me, his dark hair’s pulled out from his gray beanie and he’s smiling so huge at the screen that I’m afraid to look. “You want me to cut out what Iseul said?”
“Yes.” I take a deep breath. “Legally, this could destroy not only the group but the company.”
“Interesting that you say that.” He still doesn’t look at me, he just keeps editing on his keyboard. “Since you’re so involved.”
My heart almost stops. “What?”
“You.” He keeps tapping the keyboard and finding the mouse. “We’ll see how it turns out, for now, I’m willing to take out that confession based on one that just got sent to me a few minutes ago. Tit for tat, that sort of thing. I mean if there’s more drama why would I even air this.”
Okay, he’s an evil asshole. “These are people’s lives!”
“Mine too. And we live for the ratings so if you’re not comfortable with it, I’d take it up with the label who put two of the hugest K-pop groups on the map then sold them for more money.”
My stomach sinks. I have a bad feeling right now but I don’t want to panic Sookie so I say nothing. I force a smile. “Well, as you know my job is to protect the boys.”
“And…” He clicks on the laptop harder. “You do that well, so I think we’re good for now, I keep the edit out, and wait for something juicier, imagine what that could possibly be?”
I know we haven’t been caught so I just shrug. “No clue, but let me know when you do so I can make sure to do the proper legal documents for the individuals so your ass doesn’t get sued.”
Our entire conversation feels off when I leave his temporary office and walk toward the pool at the girls mansion. Music is blasting, drinks are flowing, and food is on every table.
Even better, the girls are all showing off their best assets in their swimsuits, while most of them went for something semi conservative, Iseul looks like she could walk for Victoria’s Secret, the fact the triangles even cover her boobs is astonishing, and her bottoms aren’t much better.
The suit is a nice white that looks good with her body and I kind of hate her for it as I stare down at my outfit. I look like I’m in the office and she looks fun.
What am I even doing here?
I get ready to leave when Sookie comes out with no shirt and the same white board shorts.
My mouth actually waters.
