Chapter 510 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

“I don’t think cute is a word that describes us. We are both crazy,” Sonia pointed out jokingly.

“That wasn’t what I meant,” Bryan said, with the same serious gaze, and Sonia blinked at him as she replayed what he had said in her head, and then she smiled.

“Oh! You mean you want us to grow old together, right?” She asked, and Bryan gave her a nod.

“Yes. I want it all with you, babe. A home. Kids. Family. Everything. But I’d rather we don’t rush into it. We both have our careers to build right now, and I would love us to give it our best shot,” Bryan said, and Sonia sighed.

“I guess you’re right. Let’s focus on building our careers and our relationship,” Sonia said, and Bryan nodded.

“So back to your story and the conflict…”

“I was just thinking that if I’m unable to come up with something I might have to rewrite the first couple of

“Focus on the other characters, while I try to work out some conflict for our story,” Bryan said, and Sonia looked at him suspiciously.

“What kind of conflict? Don’t try anything crazy,” Sonia warned, making him chuckle.

“If it’s not crazy it’s not us, you know that, don’t you?” Bryan asked as he leaned forward and kissed the sensitive spot on the crook of her neck.

Sonia moaned softly as she reached for the back of his head, but Bryan was quick to roll away from her, and she glared at him while he laughed, “You want conflict? I’m going to give you lots of it,” Bryan promised, and Sonia nodded.

“Alright. There’s something else I want to talk to you about,” Sonia said when she remembered that she was yet to tell him about terminating her contract with her editor and her new plans for her career.

“Okay. Tell me,” Bryan said as he returned to sit on the bed, and he watched her curiously.

“I have decided that I’m no longer going to work with my editor. His action hurt me, and it showed that he doesn’t trust me. I see no reason why I should work with a person who can’t vouch for me. I feel hurt that someone I worked with for years could easily believe everything he read, whereas Celsie’s secretary who barely started working with her trusted her enough to stand by her,” Sonia said, and Bryan nodded.

“Okay. I think I understand how you feel. Have you discussed this with him yet?” Bryan asked, and she shook her head.

“I intend to tell him that when we go over there for me to sign the contract with the movie producer,” Sonia said, and Bryan gave her a nod.

“So what is your plan? Do you want me to find you a new editor and manager?” Bryan asked, and Sonia shook her head.

“No. I want something even better now. I want to start my own writing brand. I will start by creating a writing site where I post

Bryan grinned, “I think it’s a good idea. I could be your partner. I’m sure Benne wouldn’t mind investing in it and being a shareholder,” Bryan said, and Sonia grinned.

“You can both invest in the future. For now I have more than enough money to start up on my own,” Sonia said, and Bryan nodded.

“One more thing,” Sonia said, and Bryan looked at her curiously.

“I want to visit my mom. I didn’t attend her funeral,” Sonia said quietly, and Bryan moved closer to her and embraced her.

“That’s good. I will go with you,” Bryan promised as he kissed her forehead.

“Thanks,” Sonia said, glad that he had offered to go with her.

“Any other thing you want to talk about?” Bryan asked, and she shook her head.

“Good. Since I’m done with Paul, tomorrow we will leave with my parents, so we can settle things at your end, and then after that we visit your mom’s graveside, and then we can return to Serenopolis,” Bryan said, and Sonia nodded.

“We will both be starting over in our career,” Sonia said with a small smile.

“Do you want us to get our own place or live with Benne?” Bryan asked, and Sonia shrugged.

“We could live with him for the time being. That way I get to always see Celsie too,” Sonia said, and Bryan smiled.

“That’s settled then.”

“I can’t wait for us to return so I can watch that witch and her family burn. I hope they let me write the questions for the interview for myself. I want them to take a lie detector test too. They wouldn’t know what hit them.,” Sonia said, and Bryan chuckled.

He couldn’t say he felt sorry for the Miller family.

Amy rolled her eyes as she watched Miley give instructions to the girl who was styling her hair. If anyone walked into the salon, they would think Miley was a professional hairstylist or something.

“No. Not there. Yes, right there. Good. I look better from that angle,” Miley explained as the girl parted one side of her hair and rolled it up with Brazilian rollers so that when she let down the hair, some of it would fall in curls and cover the right part of her face.

“Can you just let her do her job?” Amy asked, and Miley shook her head.

“No, I can’t. I paying her to make me look irresistible so I have to get my money’s worth. Don’t I, sweetie?” Miley asked the hairstylist who giggled.

“Absolutely,” the girl agreed, and Amy rolled her eyes.

“You are so annoying. If I were your stylist I would leave you to fix your hair yourself,” Amy said, making both Miley and the stylists laugh.

“Good thing you’re not my stylist. They’re more good-natured and well-mannered than you,” Miley said with a sweet smile.

“Whatever. But on a serious note, I see no reason why you’re dolling up or having me do the same when it’s just dinner. It’s not like you’re going on a real date with your boyfriend or anything. We should be at home having a good rest instead of doing this,” Amy complained.

“That is why you are still single and untouched. If you dress up and go out more often, you’d have men standing outside your door and waiting to eat out of your hand,” Miley said with a superior air.
