I Am Not Into Plastic Dolls
I Am Not Into Plastic Dolls
Jack took out a chair and sat down just as Lily said, "Hi Jack, it's nice to have you here.
Where is Cindy? I was looking forward to seeing her."
Jack observed her for a while and said, "Cindy has more important things to do."
She nodded her head thoughtfully and said, "I am so sorry that Chris isn't here. He so badly wanted to come but he had a running stomach and wasn't able to leave the house in his condition."
"Why didn't he reschedule?" Jack asked. "If he had told me that he had such a setback, I would have fixed another date. It's something that can happen to anyone so I would have understandably fixed another date."
"I know that, Jack and I am sorry we didn't inform you before you got here but it happened at the last minute and Chris was worried that since you are a busy person, you may have put aside other activities for this meeting.
He won't be in London for long and he wanted to take care of this before leaving, that's why he asked me to come in his stead.
I am not just his sister but also his manager. So whatever I say here is a representation of his thoughts.
Here is a list of Chris's terms. You can look at it and give your opinion or objections. I'm very sure we will eventually come to an agreement.
Jack flipped through the documents while Lily called for a waiter to take their order. The menu was handed to Jack by the waiter but he said he was good. He already wasn't feeling too well so he didn't want to drink or eat anything outside.
Lily ordered a bottle of wine and quickly poured a cup for herself. She offered Jack a glass but he politely declined it.
After going through the files she had given him, Jack felt that the terms were good enough for both of them because Chris Belov was an international star.
He handed it back to her and said, "I accept your terms and since Chris isn't well, I will draw up a contract and forward it to his mail so that he can sign it.
Just send all the necessary details to me including his email address. This is my card. It has my email address behind it so, you can forward all the information to my mail."
Jack stretched out his hand to give his card to Lily but noticed that she was clutching her stomach in pain.
He stared at her in surprise and asked, "What's the problem?" but she ignored his question and struggled to dial a number with her phone.
When the call went through, the person on the other end quickly answered and Lily who was now crying said, "Doctor, the pain is back. Please come to my room."
The person who was supposedly a doctor replied, "Just stay strong. I will be there in thirty minutes," after which, he hung up.
Lily stood up from the chair leaving her bag and the documents on the table. She tried to walk into the hotel but fell on the floor and cried out in pain while still clutching her stomach.
Jack who didn't understand what was happening, kept looking at her in surprise but, she stretched out one of her hands and said, "Please Jack, help me to my room. I am begging you."
Without thinking too much about it, Jack took her bag and the documents from the table before walking over to her. He helped her up and supported her with one hand as they both went inside the hotel.
Lily kept crying and wincing in pain until they got to the room number which she said was hers. Jack opened the door with her key card and took her into the room.
He placed her on the bed with her bag and documents beside her and turned to leave but Lily called out to him and said, "Please stay with me Jack until my doctor arrives."
Jack stared at her for a while and replied, "I'm sorry, I can't do that"
He wasn't going to help her any more than it was necessary because she had once turned her back on Cindy when Cindy needed her the most.
Jack had only gotten to the door when Lily stood up from the bed and wrapped her arms around him from behind.
He was very surprised and immediately pushed her away. He stared at her in shock as he couldn't seem to believe that everything she had done before was an act.
Anyways, her brother was an actor so he told himself that he shouldn't be surprised. Her brother must have carefully scripted this act for her so they could discredit him before Cindy and then she would end up with Chris.
"You are such a bitch!" He told Lily but then she threw herself at him again and said, "You are so hot Jack. I want you so badly."
Jack flung her again from his body and this time she ended up on the floor. He pointed at her and said, "Tell your brother that my agency doesn't need him anymore. And remember this, I am not into plastic dolls."
After speaking, Jack opened the door and walked away. However, just as he walked a little bit away from the door, someone struck his head with an iron, causing him to suddenly feel dizzy and collapse on the ground.
Two men came to his side, dragged him back into the room, and locked the door.
Cindy called Jack's number repeatedly but he did not answer. She knew he must have been done with his meeting but decided to wait for him.
She ended up waiting throughout the night without any sign of Jack.
Jack opened his eyes and felt disoriented for a while. He looked around him and realized he was at the Blue sky hotels and suites.
He was sitting on a chair and there was a table in front of him. He tried to recall how he had gotten here and remembered that he was supposed to have a meeting with Chris Belov in this hotel.
He also remembered that he had arrived and met Lily Belov at this table but she wasn't here right now and his memory was a little foggy so he could not exactly recall what had happened after he met her.
He took out his phone from his pocket and saw so many missed calls from Cindy but what shocked him, even more, was the date on his phone.
He checked the time and realized it was seven in the morning. He vividly remembered that his meeting was meant to be at five the previous day so why was he here?
Did he spend the night here? Was that why Cindy gave him so many missed calls?
He quickly got up. His face and head were throbbing with pain but he was more worried about what Cindy was thinking right now.
She had so badly wanted to come with him yesterday but he had refused. What was he going to tell her now?
He checked his other pocket and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his car keys.
He took the keys out, ran to his car, and tried to call Cindy but she wasn't answering her phone.
He drove, parked his car in front of Cindy's house and quickly knocked on her door.
Cindy opened the door and let him in but stared at him in disgust.
"Where have you been, Jack?" He looked at her and said, "I know how this will sound Cindy but I don't remember what happened to me."
Cindy smiled and replied, "Let me give you a mirror to jog your memory."
Cindy handed a mirror to Jack who still stood by the door and he opened his eyes in shock when he saw his face.
He had lipstick stains on his face and collar and there were also scratch marks which seemed to have been made with fingernails on his face.
What surprised him the more was that he reeked of alcohol even though he could not remember putting any in his mouth.
He was still staring at Cindy, unable to make any explanation when they heard a knock on the door.
Cindy opened the door and was horrified when a group of police officers showed her their ID, three of them quickly barged into her house while the other two stood outside.
They walked straight to where Jack stood and one of them took out a handcuff and secured both sides around Jack's wrists.
Jack was about to ask what was going on when the officer said, "You are under arrest Jack, for sexually assaulting Miss Lily Belov.
You have the right to remain silent as anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney and if you do not have any, the state would provide one for you."
Cindy stared at Jack as tears dropped from her eyes. As he was being taken away, Jack turned to look at Cindy and the only thing he said to her was, "I didn't do it."
