Chapter 42 No One Will Trouble You Again
Back at Don Entertainment, Angela and the team had a successful day shoot. Angela was unaware of what had transpired at the office, and nobody called to tell her anything. With how she kept getting into trouble anytime Susan saw her with Bryce, she decided to find another way to work with Bryce.
The scenes of the male lead were shot again with Alexander Green and Ms Caroline. The production team liked the act better with Alexander and Caroline. Aaron was good, but he was too rigid with the character. Alexander was very natural.
"With funds available and a great committed team, we should have this movie read in sixty days," Don said to Angela.
"Yes, that is possible. I will get the marketing team onboard once we are halfway through the shooting, so we can have some scenes to create teasers that will hype the movie. I am confident this would be a step into greatness. Don Entertainment will be in the news soon for its achievement. We are changing the story," Angela said with so much confidence.
"I pray so," Don said, not at all enthusiastic about it.
They had shot so many good movies, but it got them nowhere because no celebrity wanted to feature in the movies from their industry. He had put his best into this new movie, too, but they couldn't get any of the star celebrities to feature in this one too, despite how great the story was. The cast are all unknown actors, and that was why Don was worried.
"Look, the storyline is great. All we need to do is get people to watch the premiere, and we will sell," Angela encouraged.
Don knew she didn't have any experience in movies, but still decided to allow her confidence to keep hope burning inside of him that his company would soon be well known.
It was five minutes to the hour, five in the evening, and Angela and her team were wrapping up for the day to continue the next day from noon to midnight to shoot the evening scenes.
Bryce arrived at Don Entertainment and proceeded to the place where the movie scenes were shot. He had tasked Bernard to find a replacement for Susan and Eva. He intended to officially announce the exit of Susan and Eva from the company with the announcement of the new HR manager.
He entered the room, drawing attention to his commanding presence. The people at the back turned, but Angela was too engrossed in what she was doing, so she didn't realise Bryce was there, and Bryce also asked them to continue with a wave of his hand. He proceeded to the top to watch everything from there.
"Okay, that was perfect," Angela said after the scene was done. "You have all done very well today. Remember, this is our movie, and we want the world to see how good we are. The story is great, put your heart into it. You all be soon known and loved by all. You are the next celebrities," she added, and the people cheered.
Bryce sat in the front-row seat at the top, watching everything from there. He heard words of encouragement from Angela and admired her commitment to the work she was doing. He had employed her for her skills and had only married her because she took his virginity, but something about her was making him like her. He saw her pack her stuff, ready to leave.
"Let her wait for me in the car. I need to speak with Don," Bryce said to one of his guards standing with him, and he immediately left to carry out Bryce's orders.
Bryce waited for everyone to exit the hall before he went down with his remaining guards. He exited the empty hall and went straight to Don's office.
"Mr Moore, thank you so much," Don appreciated once they were both seated inside his office.
"I am glad you have your daughter back," Bryce said. "How is everything going?" he asked.
"Good so far. Aaron was picked up by the police, and I am sure he is going to spend some time in jail," Don replied.
"Okay. Just so you know, I will not tolerate any disrespect to me. Any disrespect towards my secretary is disrespect towards me. Remember, she represents me here," Bryce said.
"Understood," Don acknowledged and turned to leave.
He came here just to tell me that? Don thought as he followed Bryce out of his office, wondering who Angela was.
Meanwhile, outside, inside the compound, Angela was patiently sitting in the back seat of the car. One of the guards approached her as soon as she exited the building and informed her that Bryce wanted her to wait for him in the car.
After what seemed like forever, Bryce finally exited the building in the company of his guards and Mr Don. He proceeded to his car with the guards leaving Mr Don at the exit.
The back seat door of the car opened, and Bryce got inside. Angela shifted to the other end of the car as Bryce got inside.
"I have heard of your good works. Well done," Bryce said in his deep but calm voice.
"Thank you, Mr President," Angela appreciated, and the guards entered the car.
The car was soon in motion, going out of the company's compound. It was a silent drive to the estate. Once the car was parked, Angela got out of the car, opening the door herself. Bryce's side of the door was opened by one of his guards, and he got down.
He saw the back of Angela as she hurried her steps towards the front door. Bryce walked majestically towards the front door and was soon inside. Angela was nowhere to be found. He knew she would be in her room.
He went upstairs and headed for his room, which he had given to Angela. He knocked and entered without waiting for her invitation.
"Are you scared of me?" Bryce asked as soon as he entered the room.
Angela was still in the dress she had taken to work. Her bag was hanging on the stand, and her phone was lying on the bed. She was holding a bathrobe in her hand, indicating she was about to change and hit the shower.
"No," Angela replied, keeping her head down just to avoid his irresistible gaze.
"So why are you distant from me?" Bryce asked, and Angela was surprised.
They have always been distant, so what was he talking about? Angela raised her head briefly and lowered it again.
"I always find myself in trouble anytime, Ma'am Susan, see me around you," Angela said, drawing Bryce's attention to the before and after of most incidents that happened in the office.
It was always after Suasn had walked in to find her in his office. Bryce understood what Angela was doing. She was reporting Susan to him, but indirectly. He took a couple of steps and stopped right in front of her.
"From today, no one is going to trouble you again. Go ahead and do your work without restriction," Bryce said, and Angela raised her head, wondering what he meant.
"I know Susan was the one behind all your troubles. I terminated her contract alongside her accomplice Eva. They won't bother you again," Bryce informed her.
"You are free to work, but I don't like the relationship between you and Bernard. You are my wife," Bryce said.
"Thank you, but nothing is going on between Bernard and me. We are just working colleagues. I don't even consider him a friend yet," Angela explained and wondered why she was even explaining herself with such details to Bryce.
"So you have not given your body to him?" Bryce asked, his expression a little serious.
"No!" Angela rejected immediately, and thinking about it, she got angry. "Is that how little you think of me?" she asked with a frown.
Bryce watched her reaction and was suddenly aroused watching her get angry. He took another step, and Angela pushed him away. He tried to hold her, and it became a struggle between them as Angela didn't want him to hold her. He eventually put both of her hands together and held them above her pining her to the wall.
"Let go of me," Angela said angrily as she tried to wiggle herself free, but Bryce just kept staring at her.
"I want to find out myself," Bryce said, staring at her face, still holding her hand above her.
"Is that an excuse just to go to bed with me?" Angela questioned, still trying to free herself.
"No," Bryce said, not sure why he was so attracted to her. "You are my wife legally. I don't need an excuse to go to bed with you. It is your responsibility to satisfy my needs," he said, still staring at her face.
"I am not in the mood," Angela said, knowing she would not be able to resist him if he should attempt anything.
"Moods and responsibilities are two separate things. Responsibilities are things you carry out whether you are in the mood or not," Bryce said and captured her lips in a kiss.
Angela only protested for a while, and she yielded to him, feeling his gentle touch under her skirt. She found herself parting her legs to grant him access to her lady, where he kissed her neck. He let go of her hands, and she wrapped them around his neck, closing her eyes and enjoying the pleasure that was consuming her. He kept teasing her until Angela couldn't take it anymore.
"Please," Angela found herself begging.
He wanted her, but he had forced himself on her the previous times, even though she gave in and they both enjoyed each other. This time, he wanted her to desire him before doing anything with her.
He was satisfied hearing her beg, but he decided to tease her a little longer.
