The interviewer who still had a lot of questions to ask, felt her lips curve in a smile as she watched them. Why did they seem like they were at the early stages of falling in love? She hated to interrupt their moment of intimacy, but she needed to continue with the questions.
“How long have you both been together?” She asked, making them both reluctantly look away from each other and then back to her.
Bryan opened his mouth to speak, but Sonia placed a hand on his leg to stop him, “Not for long, yet way too long,” Sonia said, making the interviewer look at her in confusion, while Bryan’s lips twitched in amusement.
“That is quite an ambiguous statement,” the interviewer said with a confused smile.
Seeing the confusion on the lady’s face, Sonia smiled, “Well, what I mean is, some days it feels like we have known each other for days, and then other days it feels like we have been together for months, and then sometimes it feels like years since we have been together. Isn’t that how you feel?” Sonia said with a wide smile as she turned to Bryan.
“Yeah. Some days it even feels like hours since I’ve known you. And that’s because there are times I feel like I know so much about you, and at other times I feel like I don’t know enough yet,” Bryan said, and Sonia nodded enthusiastically.
“That’s how I feel too,” Sonia said with a big smile as she turned to the interviewer, “Do you understand that feeling? Like, have you felt that way about a person before?” Sonia asked the interviewer who looked slightly flustered by her question as she was used to asking the questions and not being questioned.
“I’m not sure I have, but I can tell it’s a beautiful feeling seeing how happy you look together,” the interviewer said, wanting to turn the table to them once again.
By the time they were done with the interview, everyone else in the room was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that both Sonia and Bryan were head over heels in love with each other, even though the two persons involved had no idea that their growing feelings for each other were mutual.
“Now that we are done with the interview can we change into something simple? This celebrity lifestyle is not for me,” Sonia murmured to Bryan as she took off the earrings while the others were busy looking at the interview video.
“What celebrity lifestyle?” Bryan asked curiously.
“I mean, I can’t just sit around wearing expensive stuff like this when I’m not going anywhere,” Sonia explained distractedly while Bryan watched her as she took off the earrings.
“Here,” she said, handing the earrings to him.
“What for?” Bryan asked as he continued to watch her.
“You gave them to me for the interview show, and now that we are done with the interview you can have them back,” Sonia explained as she waited for him to take the earrings from her.
“That was a gift from me to my fiancee, I can’t take it back,” Bryan said with a shake of his head.
“I thought that was for the benefit of the camera,” Sonia asked in confusion as she looked at the pair of diamond earrings which she knew must have cost a fortune.
Bryan was almost tempted to tell her that nothing he had said or done was for the benefit of the camera, but he reminded himself that he needed to keep that information to himself until he knew what she wanted from him, “It wasn’t. Feel free to go change into something more comfortable while I have a word with the producer,” Bryan said, jerking his head in the direction of the bedrooms so that she would leave.
Sonia looked at him like she wanted to argue but after a while, she gave him a nod, “Thanks,” she murmured before walking away from there, while Bryan followed her with his eyes.
“Is there something you want to tell me?” Jeff asked as he sat down on the spot which Sonia had just vacated.
“Something like what?” Bryan asked as he met Jeff’s gaze.
“I’ve known you long enough to know that you don’t look at ladies that way. You are falling for her, aren’t you?”
“What are you talking about?” Bryan asked, pretending not to understand what Jeff was saying.
“Don’t even think about lying to me. Does she know how you feel about her?” Jeff asked, making Bryan raise a brow.
“I still don’t know what you are talking about.. Please get me the wheelchair, and inform the producer that we would be changing out of this outfit into a more comfortable and homely wear,” Bryan said as he shrugged out of the suit jacket.
Once it was time for the lunch break, the private investigator placed his camera in the pigeonhole compartment of his car and picked up a brown delivery envelope from the backseat of his car before stepping out of the car.
He walked into the company and made his way towards the cafeteria where most of the staff were heading to. He looked around the place casually as though he was trying to find someone.
“Hello, young lady!” He greeted politely, stopping a young lady who was walking in the same direction with him.
“Hello, sir!” She responded, looking at him curiously.
The private investigator smiled at her, “My name is Ralph. I’m a cab driver. I dropped off a young man here sometime this morning and he seems to have forgotten this parcel in my vehicle. I would love to give it back to him, but I don’t know anything about him apart from the fact that this was where I dropped him,” the man said with a polite smile.
“I don’t suppose you know his name?” The lady asked, looking from the envelope to his face, and the private investigator shook his head with a slightly distressed frown on his face.
“Unfortunately I don’t know his name. But he is this tall,” the private investigator said, raising his right hand slightly above his head to indicate how tall Benne was, “He had an earring on, and his hair was colored…”
“Copper brown?” The lady filled in for him as Benne was the first person that came to mind with that description.
“Uhm, I’m not sure,” The private investigator said with a slight frown. Although that was exactly the color of the person’s hair he was enquiring about, he wanted to be able to leave without having the lady inform Benne that someone had been asking questions about him, “Does this person you are talking about work here?”
“Although I don’t know him on a personal level, he is one of the company’s drivers,” the lady explained.
