Novel Full 257 257. She is talking about me
“You may see that yourself. But I guess you have already seen him. In fact you have worked with him before.” Kizy said, making Nicole even more confused.
“I saw him? I don’t think-” Nicole was still speaking when someone interrupted.
“She is talking about me.” A calm and masculine voice was heard from the entry door, while a tall and well built figure entered.
Nicole had to focus her eyes properly as the man was walking against the light on entry, making his figure look darker against his bright background.
“Victor?” She finally said once he was nearer, set lights illuminating his chiselled face.
“Hi.” Victor said curtly before going towards Kizy.
Victor was not ready to take this role, but Kizy forced him a lot. Eventually he could not say no to this second sister of his and ended up accepting it.
Kizy had not asked Jason for this role because she knew how Rose felt about him. Plus if someone was to recognize Jason through the advertisement then it would be a huge problem.
Victor and Harry had less exposure to others, hence it was very difficult to recognize them, that too when they were not revealing their face.
But Harry’s short height along with his immature aura would not have suited Nicole for the commercial.
Other than these three, Kizy only knew Jack, Alex and Andrew. And she could not ask anyone out of these as they were Markus’s men and friend respectively.
Thus Kizy ended up asking Victor, who was calm, mature, mysterious and well built, perfect for a tall and bold woman like Nicole.
“Wrap it within one hour. I need to be somewhere else.” Victor said, looking all serious.
“Go change first.” Kizy said before showing him direction for the changing room.
Nicole was playing a rich heiress, who owned her own business. Whereas Victor was acting as a young business tycoon. Both of them come together for a business partnership and end up falling for each other – this was a simple love story script that Kizy had written for Nicole and Victor.
It consisted of dialogues unlike the story of Joel and Nina.
Nicole was practising her dialogue when she heard the director praise.
“This suit looks so perfect on you. Seems like it was made for you.” The director said, genuinely praising Victor, who looked like a CEO walking right out of some fiction novel.
She turned around, and found herself nodding her head to the director’s statement.
Victor, wearing a whole black suit, including black shirt, pants and blazer, with his hair gelled and swept slightly backwards, was enough to make any girl’s heart skip a beat.
With those sharp eyes, thin lips, pointed nose and that musculine body, he was every woman’s dream come true.
“Should we start?” The director asked Nicole, who was still dazedly looking at Victor, who was now walking in her direction.
Nicole had brought her own outfit. She was wearing a pastel blue dress ending at her knees, while a long white blazer was placed over her shoulder, showing a little of her bare shoulder and neck skin. Paired with them were white heels and pearl earrings.
Her shoulder length hair was straightened, giving her a mature business woman look, the one she was enacting.
“Shall we start?” Kizy asked while giving Nicole a nudge, who finally responded.
“Yes yes. Let’s begin.” Nicole said while walking towards the stage, a little embarrassed for staring at Victor like that.
Director gave them two minutes to get comfortable around each other before starting the shoot.
Both of them sat on the sofa, sitting opposite to each other. A document was seen on the table placed between them. With the director’s signal, they started shooting.
“We look forward to working with you.” Victor said, with his back facing camera while he shook hands with Nicole.
“Me too.” Nicole said with a polite smile, the one that she had mastered over years.
Her face was directly facing the camera, capturing every single expression.
With that both of them got up. Nicole turned to leave the room while Victor just kept standing there.
“You are not coming?” Nicole asked when she reached the door, noticing that Victor wasn’t following her.
“I have some other stuff to do, so I will stay here for some more time.” Victor said.
“Okay.” Nicole said and was about to exit when she suddenly paused and turned again.
“Anything else?” Victor asked, as he was still watching Nicole.
“I was about to forget this again. This Saturday is my birthday. All my partners are invited to the party. This is the invitation card.. It will be my honour to have you as my guest.” Nina said, though polite but her tone was cool and dominant.
“Ohhh.” Victor paused.
“I will definitely attend-” Victor was still speaking when he heard a sneeze.
“Aachhoo!” Kizy who was sitting beside the cameraman, watching this perfect scene being played suddenly sneezed, gaining all the attention.
Victor instantly walked towards Kizy in large strides, before removing his blazer and putting it on Kizy’s shoulders.
“Why are you wearing so little?” Victor asked, his tone reprimanding, but worry and affection could be seen in it.
“Take this back, you need it for the shoot.” Kizy said, trying to distract Victor so she won’t get any scolding.
Both she and Rose were prone to cold. Thus all three males in Black command always paid attention towards this point. The girls were always given rooms with the most tolerable cold temperature even when they were on missions.
In an attempt to distract herself from thinking about Markus, Kizy had started taking her laptop on the balcony and working there for late hours at night.
Their bedroom reminded her of Markus, and she no longer wanted to sit still and do nothing while Markus was facing unknown dangers alone.
Thus she decided to work hard for the company, and strive to take it to new heights, even at the sake of compromising her health in between.
“I will get another blazer for myself. You keep this on.” Victor said before turning towards the director.
