Day Sixty-Two…
~~*****~~
With his remaining rationality and self-control, Alexander pushed Helena away as he stood up, maintaining a distance from her. He couldn't afford to have sexual activity with Helena otherwise, his alliance with Vincent would be void! For goodness' sake, he wasn't the kind of guy who would sleep with a stranger.
Helena's giggle bubbled up inside the room. Though Alexander refused her, she could see how his body was reacting to her. She took pride in that.
"You are no fun at all." She mocked him. "This is so boring."
Alexander was offended. But it was better than letting himself be controlled by this woman's seduction.
Ding! Dong!
The ringing sound of the doorbell served as his saving grace. Alexander heaved a sigh of relief. He was the one who walked toward the door to open it and welcome the newcomer.
Alexander froze in his spot when Abigail was the one who greeted his sight. He turned in Helena's direction, giving her a questioning gaze. But Helena just giggled while shrugging her shoulders.
Abigail was also surprised when she saw a handsome stranger inside Helena's hotel. She was expecting to see Vincent. Abigail received a message from Dave. She was inviting her to meet with Helena today.
"Miss Abi," Alexander called her name.
"Do you know me?" Abigail asked him in surprise. Abigail couldn't remember Alexander.
Alexander frowned because Abigail didn't recognize him. Was she just pretending?
"I'm Alexander, the sponsor of your new movie. Of course, I know you. Have you forgotten me already?" Alexander didn't know if he should feel bad or not.
Abigail immediately bowed her head and apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Alexander. I had an accident, causing me to lose some parts of my memories."
Helena wasn't surprised. Dave already mentioned this to them. She approached them and held Abigail's hand. "I'm glad you make it here. Dave will be coming over. Come inside first."
Helena guided Abigail inside. Alexander could only watch Helena suspiciously. He didn't know that Helena invited Abigail today. Was this part of her plan?
'Damn. I can't figure out what she is thinking.' Alexander complained in his mind.
"Do you know each other?" Abigail asked Helena and Alexander.
"Yes. He is Vincent's business partner. I entertained him since Vincent is not yet around," Helena said, smiling innocently.
Alexander lifted his eyebrow. Helena's personality turned one hundred eighty degrees. She was different from the woman who was trying to seduce him a while ago.
'She is the best actress. She knows how to pretend and hide her true colors.' Alexander eyed Helena in disbelief.
"Alexander, just wait for Vincent. He is arriving soon. I will just prepare snacks for my special guest. Talk to her and introduce yourself again since she can't remember you," Helena said to him meaningfully. She even winked at him when Abigail was not looking.
Alexander sat down next to Abigail. He didn't know what to say. It felt strange because Abigail couldn't remember him.
"The shooting for your movie hasn't started yet. Are you free now?" Alexander finally broke the silence.
"Yes. I would love to. I can't wait to start making movies again," Abigail responded with enthusiasm. She missed working.
"Good. We can schedule it for next week. I'll tell the director." Alexander smiled at her faintly. He planned on visiting her every day on the set.
"Though I forget, I would like to grab this opportunity to thank you for choosing Star Corp Entertainment and for investing in this movie, Sir." Abigail expressed her gratitude towards Alexander.
"No need to thank me. I know I put my investment to the right person. I have high expectations for you. This movie will be a blockbuster hit. Then I will get more. This is a win-win situation for both of us," Alexander said with certainty.
Abigail let out a soft chuckle. "You think so highly of me, sir. I'm afraid I will not meet your expectations."
"Believe in yourself. Just do your best. By the way, just call me Alexander. Don't call me Sir. That's an order." Alexander could feel the difference between the Abigail he met before from the Abigail in front of him now. Was this the aftereffect of her memory loss?
'This woman is very polite to me, unlike before. Her aura also changed from fierce to gentle and friendly,' Alexander thought to himself.
'But she is easy to talk to,' he added in his thoughts.
Soon, Helena returned, holding a tray of juice and a plate of desserts. Alexander felt awkward around Helena. Her presence was making him uncomfortable.
Helena took the spotlight once again as she began talking to Abigail. Alexander just chose to stay quiet, listening to them. He just discovered that Abigail and Helena were friends. She visited Helena and Vincent at Country R together with her boyfriend, Dave.
After twenty minutes of talking, Helena reminded Abigail about Dave.
"Where is Dave? He is late again. How are we going to catch up without him? Can we call him? " Helena urged Abigail to call Dave.
"Okay. Let me check," Abigail said, picking up her phone. Dave was on duty today so he told her he would be late. But he would try to come.
Abigail dialed Dave's number. It rang several times before the call was answered.
"Hello, Dave, are you done with your work?" Abigail asked him.
But Dave didn't respond right away. Instead of Dave's voice, Abigail heard some faint noises from the other line. It became louder as the second passed by.
"Dave? Is that you?" Abigail asked again, her eyebrows drawing together in a deep frown.
She heard someone panting and moaning from the other line.
"Ha~Ha~ Ha~"
"Dave??? Are you okay? What is happening there?" Abigail began to worry. She didn't know what was happening there. Dave wasn't even answering her.
Alexander just watched her in puzzlement while Helena smiled inwardly.
'The show has started,' Helena thought to herself with a sly smirk.
The sound over the phone was becoming clearer and clearer. She could hear a woman's voice. Not only her voice but her moaning sound.
Abigail was shocked beyond belief. She checked her phone screen just to check if she dialed the correct number. Was it really Dave's number?
Abigail didn't know what to feel after confirming that it was Dave's number. Her hand was trembling when she tried to place the phone near her ear. She tried to listen again.
The next thing she heard made her world crumble.
"Oh, yes~ Dave! Harder~ Take me harder… Aah~ Aah~"
Abigail dropped the phone as her body froze. The realization finally came to her. Dave was currently having sex with a woman. Who was that woman?
Helena picked up the phone and asked her, "What's wrong?" She tried to listen and pretended to be shocked.
Alexander just watched the two ladies confusedly. Abigail's face became pale. He didn't know what she heard over the phone, making her astounded.
"Let's find Dave!" Helena immediately grabbed Abigail's hand, motioning Alexander to follow them.
Abigail was too shocked to say a word. She just followed Helena with a blank expression. Her mind was still trying to digest what she heard. She was still in a state of denial.
'No way. The guy is not Dave. He won't betray me. He won't!' Abigail kept convincing herself.
Lots of things kept coming to her mind. She didn't even notice that she was already riding Alexander's car. Helena was talking to Alexander but Abigail was no longer paying attention to them. She wanted to cry but she tried to hold her tears.
'Don't cry, Abi. You must talk to Dave. This might be a misunderstanding!' Abigail wanted to trust Dave.
Before she knew it, they had already arrived at Dave's apartment. Helena stepped out of the car first, opening the car door for Abigail. She was in a hurry as if she was chasing after someone. She pulled Abigail toward the front door.
Without ringing the doorbell, Helena opened the door, pulling Abigail with her. From the door, they could already hear the moaning sound and groaning sound inside the bedroom.
Abigail was afraid to step forward. But Helena forcefully pulled her hand as she led her to the bedroom.
Bam!
Helena slowly pushed the door open and they saw a naked woman riding a man who was lying on the bed. They were having sex.
Abigail gasped, covering her mouth when she saw Dave's face. He was not looking at her. He was engrossed with the woman riding him on top. His hands were holding the woman's waist.
Abigail hastily turned around and stormed out of the room. Helena smiled triumphantly and glanced at Alexander. "Follow her! This is your chance."
Alexander just frowned but he eventually chased after Abigail.
When Alexander and Abigail left, Helena glanced at the naked woman and Dave. She gave her thumbs up. "Good job, girl! Just continue." Helena winked at her and left the room.
"Breaking her heart? Haha Yes! Mission Accomplished."
