Chapter 6 - 6

" Just let go !"

It was the number my brother had written .

Liam started to rub his thumb on my palm to rub it away .

" No !" I shouted .

" It's him from yesterday, isn't it ?," his voice was trembling now .

I closed off my palm ," That is again none of your business."

" Who is that guy ? Did you know him before ?," there was an urgency in his voice .

For a second I wanted to tell him about my runaway brother.

' But what if he calls my dad ? What will happen to Jasper , then ?'

A voice told me inside my head . Then again , did he really need to know ?

" How long has it been going? ," he urged again . He was pulling hair from his face to above his head , exposing his forehead .

He was angry . Even his anger looked handsome .

No ,no , brain , please concentrate on the important stuffs first .

" For your information he is not someone dangerous ."

" You say that after he hit me and took you away on a bike ? "

" I told him to take me away ," I snapped ," He is a way better company than you and your family. "

" Is that why you decided to cheat on me ? ," Liam asked .

I slowly turned to look at him ," What did you just say ?"

" I am asking if the reporters are right !," Liam hissed ," If my wife is really cheating on me !"

The audacity this man had .

" So you are the only one in the marriage who is allowed to cheat huh ?"

" What ? No , I said that I will explain -"

" Why ? Is it because your family bought me to be your wife , and am I supposed to be your slave or something ?"

" Stop twisting things . There has been a circumstance ."

" Oh my ! What could be the circumstances for cheating ?"

" You are mad at me ? Here I thought that you will not even care if I take some girls to my bed ," Liam was laughing in anger and wonder too ," Of all these years , you have never cared -"

"Am I allowed to even ?," I sighed ," I am tired here , let's break up Liam ."

The words blurred out before I could stop it . I knew that I would regret it but I had to pull out the thorn sooner or later , no matter how much it hurted .

I had underestimated myself . The tears rushed on my eyelashes . I looked down , covering my face .

" Julia , Julia ? Are you crying again ?"

I could not look up .

There was a knock on the studio door .

" Liam , are you here ? "

I turned my back at the door ,from the corner of my eyes I saw Liam standing before me trying to cover me up through his back .

" Good evening , are you talking to someone?," there was a woman's voice .

I peeked from behind my husband. It was Mira Palmer , she was wearing a blue skirt and white blouse with a pearl necklace and golden hoops for earrings , her hair came to her shoulders which was dyed brown .

" Is that you ," her voice was full of surprises," Autumn Dane ? "

" Yes Miss Dane used to be my senior in my previous agency , " Liam explained politely ," She has come to ask for my advice for the recent incident."

Hearing Anderson call me ' Miss ' was breaking me into pieces .

" Yes , I saw the news ," Miss Palmer noded ," But you two must be really close to discuss your problems ."

" Not at all ," I shook my head ," It is just in this industry, everyone knows everyone, right ?"

" Right ," Palmer noded , smiling .

" Well , enjoy your evening ," I walked out of the studio , a part of me hoped that Liam would follow me but he never did .

In the parking lot Seymore was waiting for me .

" Mr.Anderson messaged me ," he said ," But I was waiting for you anyway ."

" Take me to the dorm ," I said.

I had a long day . I needed to see my friends .

I had been in the XO Agency since I was twelve years old . Except the typical food and dating restriction, it had treated me wayy better than some other agencies around .

That was probably because they knew about my connection with Sunshine corporation. But except for the CEO , some trusted members of the board , our manager and my own team - nobody really knew about my marriage life .

" Our CEO was asking abou what Sunshine corporation has to say about your scandal but I told him that you will address the matter tomorrow. You need rest now ," Seymore told me in a gentle voice .

I thanked him weakly, he was always going beyond his duty to look out for me and the girls . He had been with me since I was twelve , he would say I reminded him of his daughter who was living abroad .

But these days , he did not really talk about his wife or daughter.

" Autumn ...can I ask you for a favour ?," Seymore almost whisphered .

" Anything for you ," I was surprised since Seymore barely asked me for anything.

" Can you talk to Winter when you are in the dorm ," his voice was worried," Yesterday I caught her talking with a guy -"

" Is she dating ?," I sat up .

Winter Wade was the youngest member of our group . It was understanding that Seymore was worried about her .

" Do you think that it has been going on for a while ?," I asked again.

" Well , she sneaked out on Valentine this year -"

" Oaah she is all grown up ," I smirked .

Seymore stopped the car ," Autumn, look , if she wasn't an idol , I would not be worried like this ."

" So you want me , an idol who is married to talk to her ? "

" You know the pro and cons , right ?," Seymore shrugged ," It has been just four years and our group did not really -"

" Have a flowery path ," I finished his sentence," And with me in the group , it is already like having a ticking time bomb , right ?"

Seymore turned towards me and grabbed my hand ," Atleast you have Sunshine Corporation backing you up but for Winter -"

" We do not know who she is dating ?," I asked .

" I looked him up , some University student , two years older . The guy is Reynolds Rosain , 25 years old , doing some biometric degree , still without a job."

Seymore sometimes worried like he was the father of us .

I liked that side of him .

" Autumn , I know that you are going through a lot , but I doubt anyone else will be better than you to talk to her . Besides Winter likes you the most , right?"

I smiled at his words .

" Don't worry , I will talk to her today , it can not be that bad ."
