" 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 ."
