Chapter 460 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

“Thank you for giving me this opportunity, sir. I promise not to let you down,” Sophia said with a smile of gratitude as she rose to leave.

Although she liked and admired Bryan very much, advancing in her career was more important to her. So if this were the only way she could make it to the top and become an A-list actress like some others who made their way to the top by sleeping with movie producers and directors to get special roles in movies, then she would do it, Sophia thought as she walked out of the office.

Once she left, Paul rang the intercom of his assistant, and almost immediately, she joined him in his office, “You called.”

“I want you to dig up all of Bryan’s past scandals. I want the names of every single female celebrity he has ever been involved in a scandal with, whether it was mere speculation or an actual fling. Make sure to highlight the names of those of them that are golden star celebrities,” Paul instructed, making her look at him with a slight frown.

“Can I ask what you want to do with the list?” She asked carefully.

Although she wasn’t ignorant of what had transpired between Paul and Bryan, she was curious to know what he was up to. Paul often allowed her to share her thoughts, and she felt there was a need to dissuade him from doing anything stupid that might cause harm to Bryan. He didn’t have to completely ruin his relationship with Bryan simply because he no longer wanted to be managed by him. She believed they should part ways on good terms.

“I was the one who took care of those scandals in the past because he was my golden star, wasn’t I?” Paul asked, and her frown deepened.

“So you want to bring the scandals back to light now because he’s no longer your golden star?” She asked in confusion, looking at him like he had lost his mind.

“Instead of standing there and asking me questions like you’re my employer, why don’t you go and get your damn job done? Do I pay you to ask me questions? Or do you want to quit as well?” Paul snapped at her, and immediately she hurried out of the office.

Paul had a scowl on his face as he watched her leave. Bryan Delgado. He wasn’t going to be hasty in dealing with him. He intended to exercise patience and see just how far Bryan could go without him. He would make sure to not only destroy Bryan’s career but he would also destroy that relationship that seemed to be so precious to him.

He had made him a star, and he would also make him a nobody. That would teach every other star in the agency not to go against him or mess with him. Bryan, who was his most treasured star, would become the scapegoat for others to learn from.

Bryan’s foul mood evaporated the moment he walked into his bedroom and saw Sonia standing by the bathroom door, wearing nothing but a black G-string.

“Took you long enough to get here,” she said with a sultry smile as she motioned to him to come to her, with her forefinger.

“What if my mom had been the one who came in?” Bryan asked in amusement as he shut the door behind him, and took off his shirt.

“Then I would have asked her to join me in the shower. I told you I dig girls too, right?” Sonia asked with a wink, and Bryan chuckled.

“And if it was my dad?” Bryan asked as he took off his wristwatch and dropped it alongside his phone on the dressing table.

“Surely you know I have a thing for older men, don’t you?” Sonia joked, and Bryan eyed her with disapproval.

“Is there anyone you don’t have a thing for? You probably have a thing for kids too,” Bryan said, and Sonia giggled.

“Why else do you think I’m with you, baby?” She asked with a sweet smile as she fluttered her lashes at him, making him chuckle.

“How did it go over there? Are you okay?” She asked with concern as she walked over to where he stood and helped him take off his belt, before unzipping his jean, and helping him take it off so that he was left in just his briefs.

“I don’t know. I’m not sure. What about you? How are you feeling? Have you taken your medication for the afternoon?” Bryan asked, watching her suspiciously since he had called to remind her to take it while driving back home.

“If I say I haven’t, are you going to punish me for being a naughty girl?” She asked in a sultry voice and wiggled her ass at him like she wanted to be spanked.

Bryan chuckled as he pulled her to himself and kissed her forehead, “You can be so silly at times. Thanks for brightening up my mood.”

“I guess it’s working?” She asked hopefully as she pulled him to the bed and made him sit on it.

“Sure, it is. I was in a really foul mood earlier,” Bryan confessed.

“I know. Why don’t you tell me all about it?” She asked as she sat down beside him on the bed.

Bryan told her everything that had transpired between him and Paul, and how Paul had threatened to destroy his career, “I’m not worried about his threat, though,” Bryan assured her, but his brows pulled together when he remembered Sophia.

“What is it?” Sonia asked when she noticed the change in his disposition.

“I don’t know. Something weird happened on my way out of the agency. Do you know the teenage actress, Sophia Reed?” He asked, and Sonia gave him a nod.

“Wasn’t your scandal with her the reason you proposed to me?” Sonia asked, and Bryan gave her a nod.

“Yeah. I ran into her at the agency, and she said Paul recently signed her,” Bryan said, and Sonia nodded.

“So? What’s weird about that? Do you have a problem with her being signed by Paul?” She asked, wanting to know why it bothered him.

“Not exactly. But she was unusually touchy-feely with me today. She embraced me, pecked me, and she even held my hand,” Bryan said thoughtfully.

“Is that supposed to be a big deal? You both have been on set together and you’ve even kissed her,” Sonia said, and Bryan shook his head.

“It’s different. Maybe I’m overreacting, but I have a weird feeling about it. Also, I’m letting you know about it just in case someone captured us together. I don’t want you misunderstanding me because of stuff like that,” Bryan said, and Sonia grinned.

“So are you going to tell me every time another lady gets too close to you or touches you off your movie sets?”

“You don’t want me to?” Bryan asked, and Sonia shrugged.

“I don’t mind you telling me about it, as long as you remember to tell me their names and give me their home address so I can fuck them up afterwards,” Sonia said with a grin, and Bryan chuckled.

He paused when his phone started ringing, and he went to pick it up from the dressing table. It was a call from Jeff.

“Are you calling because you miss me?” Bryan asked dryly once he received the call.

“I just received a call from Paul’s assistant. She said Paul asked her to dig up all your past scandals, and she asked me to tell you to be careful,” Jeff said, and Bryan felt a tinge of guilt concerning the manner he had ignored the lady earlier.
