Chapter 19 - let her go

Dean wakes up to find Carly staring up at him, he strokes her face gently before asking softly

'Be with me'

Carly giggles, thinking Dean must be joking

'You love Shayla, I'm not and never will be her'

Dean is thinking clearly though, after their passionate night together and yesterday's disastrous events, he has realised what's done is done! His lost Shayla for good! Carly has always been good to him, she may be his second choice but he can't lose her too!

'I know carls, I don't want you to be Shayla! I'm done with her!' Carly's eyes light up in curiosity as she asks skeptically

'Do you, do you really mean that?'

'I do, I should have chosen you along time ago' Dean whispers before placing a dominating kiss on Carly's full lips, causing her to moan. Her moan makes Dean lose control of himself as he takes his new girlfriend, their movements this time are soft and gentle.

Making love, instead of just fucking!

When a man looses control of everything he will try to take hold of something, anything, to regain his sense of stability!

The couple's passion soon comes to an end, Dean has always struggled with his stamina.

'Sorry, I couldn't hold it'

'Don't worry about it' Carly says, finishing herself off.

By the time she's finished Dean is dressed, he grabs a granola bar and his bag from the kitchen then goes back to the bedroom, finding Carly panting from her comedown.

'I'm off, I have to get rid of Shayla, then I'll be in meetings until five so you can stay here today if you want, I wouldn't mind coming home to you'

Dean says seductively from the doorway.

'I'll see you tonight then' Carly purrs from her spot on Dean's bed.

Dean smirks then leaves, heading off to work.

The drive doesn't take to long, rush hour is over, as his intimate moment this morning has made him late, instead of turning up at 9am, he arrives at 10am.

Dean walks into the building and goes straight to his office.

His new assistant will be here soon. He had to give up on Tonia coming back, she had sent her resignation through the evening she left. After what she had seen, he couldn't blame her.

Dean works on his computer, emails fly back and forth between him and his lawyers, Shayla's contract termination seems to be harder to deal with, than he had expected.

The first contract cancellation was revised, for a new one, last night!

At three in the morning he had received a new cancellation, with a compensation claim added!

He was furious when he received the email!

This was his thought turning point though, he knew he had lost Shayla and he knew the SHARK potentially could be after her.

Considering the way the SHARK had made a fool out of him, he could only wonder what the fate for Shayla would be.

He loved her but he couldn't keep her!

Sometimes you have to love someone from afar!

If the person you love would be happier without you, you should let them go.

Meanwhile Leroy had chosen to work from home today, after he spent most of the night exploring and pleasuring his wife, he was tired.

Leroy had messaged Lewis at 3:20 in the morning, after he had asked his lawyers to change Shayla's contract termination, informing him of his absence today.

Lewis had no choice but to take on the responsibilities of Leroy, at the office today!

Like his own work wasn't enough to handle!

Lewis liked seeing Leroy be spontaneous but he wished someone else could take charge in his absence.

Maybe one day Shayla would hang up her heels to step in for her husband.

Leroy had given Lewis extra tasks today, the main one would be to pass Shayla's details over to Dots, if they were happy with his alternative arrangements then he would have another conference call with the brand representative.

His artists all had jobs lined up elsewhere while three of his artists were already doing the dots show, there was no one else he could possibly get in at such short notice.

So why not send Shayla?

Leroy wanted to boost his wife's career while also pleasing the client. It was a win-win situation.

By performing in such a luxurious show, Shayla would get exposure to new clients. Once her runways and magazine shoots increased, Shayla would be able to upgrade to an A list model.

To receive awards, an artist must truly shine!

Shayla had done this before, so why couldn't she get to the top, again.

Leroy had already decided Shayla was going to his agency! Just because the agency hadn't signed her yet, didn't mean she wasn't going to become part of Scope enforcement.

Once Shayla became an A list model she could step all over Carly, Leroy wanted the woman to suffer! She thought to highly of herself.

So when his wife pokes her head into his office, it was the time to tell her.

Leroy rises from the chair and makes his way to his woman, opening the door fully, placing a gentle kiss on her bruised lips while snaking his arms around her.

'Sweetheart, I need to tell you something, but hear me out before you burn up, okay?'

Leroy looks down at his delicate wife, her eyes look up at him softly 'I'll try'

His wife's response is vague but he still speaks

'Considering the fact that President Ridge will be approving your contract cancellation, you will need to find a new agency'

'I want you to come to Scope'

Shayla's face drops in shock! Scope entertainment has no B list models...

She would be the first!

Leroy can tell she's shocked but he needs to get this over with.

'One of my artists, poppy, was supposed to do the Dots show in Milan. You've probably seen this advertised in all those magazines you read.'

'Anyway, Poppy has been disengaged during the shows rehearsals, then she decided to go out and went missing for three days.'

Shayla's eyes open wide at this, she's heard of artists pushing the boundaries but not anyone that comes and goes when they please.

'She went out partying, Dots gave her the chance to do the opening, now she's on her way back!'

'Dots have asked me to send a different model, via scope, so pack your things' Leroy watched his wife closely while she processes this information.

Shayla soon gets over her shock and launches her lips forward, placing a fiery kiss onto her husband's lips. 'Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou' she shrieks when she pulls away.

Leroy can't help but chuckle as he now pulls his wife through the hallway to have lunch together.
