Chapter 59: Chapter 59
“because you don't like the girl. Why invite you to a party when you dislike the celebrant?”
I walked to my bar and took a bottle of red grape wine. I poured it out into a glass and dropped the bottle on the bar table
“what is going on between you and that girl?” he asked with a glare
“she's my girlfriend” I proudly replied and his eyes widened. He stared at me for like forever then turned to go
“Eduardo” I called him back. He turned and looked at me with cold eyes
“what has come over you?” I asked and he scoffed
“does your girlfriend know that you are a...”
“Eduardo stop! Stop it!” I ordered and he smirked
“you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into” he stated
“okay... You've always been a jerk and a pervert but with the way you're acting now, I think I'm going to add psychopath to the list” I said and he just laughed and walked out.
I was so confused. Something isn't right with him. He has never acted this way despite the fact that he's always bossy and trying to be lord over me.
And what does he mean by ‘you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into’?

I knocked on the door gently and she opened almost immediately. She was wearing a large smile
“hey” she hailed at me and I smiled
“hey”
“you came late” she said as she opened the door wider for me. I entered and she closed it
“I'm sorry. I had to make some arrangements with my manager and I ate into the time” I answered and dropped the big bag I brought on the table
“I hope you're not stressed” she said and walked to me
“not anymore. I hard a long soothing bath before coming here” I said and sat down. She sat beside me and won't stop smiling
“what?” I asked
“thank you for the phone Will” she said gently and with gratitude in her voice
“I don't think you have to thank me for that. That was my duty” I said and she laughed out loud
“duty you said? You're just a boyfriend, not a father. That's not your duty but you still did it. I really appreciate that. And you have to thank Wini and Dani and your elder brother, also Jay for giving me presents” she said and I nodded
“I brought some stuff. I hope you haven't had dinner” I asked
“I already have. What did you bring?”
“well, some food and snacks” I said and pointed to the big bag. She sat down on the floor and opened the bag. She brought out the pizza box, McDonald's paper bag, popcorn, chicken wings, a big can of creamed yoghurt, two small bags of chips and finally two cans of Pepsi
“seriously? How can we finish all of these?” she asked and I chuckled and sat on the floor too
“let's give it a try. Come on” I nudged her and she chuckled
“so which should we start with?” she asked and I picked up the pizza and opened it
“I'm supposed to be on a diet but for today, I'm getting my producers pissed” I said and she laughed. She picked up one slice of pizza and just as I was about doing same, my phone beeped. I brought out the phone and it was an email from my manager. An email saying I have been hired to play the lead role in a Hollywood movie. The name of the movie rang a bell in my mind.
It then suddenly dawned on me that, that was the same role Eduardo lost two days ago. He was texted and said to be too tall and dominating in his looks and couldn't play the part they wanted him to.
So I'm the one who took that part from him? I don't think he's ready for the realization that I just replaced him
