"I don’t think there’s a need for that. Your apology is more than enough," she replied, her smile widening even more on her lips which had Kace be amazed by it.
He immediately shook his head as if there was a bee flying in circles around it.
"Alright, if you say so."
More days passed with Xavier sending a food truck to the set to serve food to Selene.
Michelle bore witness to everything just like the other colleagues and her jealousy was about to fire bullets at Selene if they could.
"Selene is so lucky, she had Xavier Wace bring her lunch to the set every day for almost a month now. Are they dating?" One of the actresses asked another who was seated beside her as she scooped a spoon filled with ice cream and ate it.
"Isn’t it obvious? I mean he always brought food trucks to the set every single day. And when he’s able to make it here himself, he will bring flowers along," the other one replied.
"But how do you think they met? I mean, Selene is a newbie actress who hasn’t gained much poprity yet but she has already caught a big fish like Xavier Wace."
"Didn’t you see her at the birthday party of old Wace? She was there. That was where I first saw her and perhaps, that was where they met," said another.
"Oh really? Wow, she’s so lucky."
"I bet she warmed his bed," said one who had just taken a seat beside the two who were chatting among themselves.
"I don’t think so."
The bitter one chuckled slightly. "Isn’t it obvious? A newbie actress debuted barely a month ago and she already had Xavier Wace sending food for her everyday. She’s warming his bed for him every night."
The two actresses who were first discussing earlier nced at each other before shrugging their shoulders nonchntly. They didn’t know exactly the kind of rtionship they shared since Xavier had not revealed anything about their rtionship. And when they tried getting the truth out of Selene, she simply said they were just friends.
Unbeknownst to them, Michelle had been listening to their conversation from start to finish. An evil smirk appeared on her lips, a nasty idea being born in her mind.
"Mia," Michelle called her assistant. "I have something I want you to do for me."
Michelle brought out her phone and took a picture of Selene who was eating an ice cream.
"I’m sending you this picture and I want you to release something when it’s nighttime with a different ount," she ordered.
Mia who was behind her nodded, with a simr evil smirk on her lips, already having an idea of what Michelle was going to instruct her to do.
Back where Selene and Kace were seated, Selene scooped a spoon of her ice cream as her thoughts wandered.
"Why do you think Xavier is doing this?" She suddenly asked, shocking Kace who thought she already caught the hint Xavier was trying to pass to her.
’Are their EQs equally low?’ Kace couldn’t help but wonder.
"I mean, you know your brother way better than I do, so why do you think he’s acting this way?" Selene added, staring at Kace for an answer.
Kace had always been beside her and he was already turning into her bestie, since they would talk about random things and make each otherugh until she was entirelyfortable around Kace. She believed she could share her thoughts with him.
She also noticed how different he was from his other two brothers. While Richard was the deadbeat and Xavier was the workaholic and always being the most serious one, Kace waspletely different. She didn’t know exactly what he did for a living but his jovial personality made her to be able to associate with people even more.
"It’s either my brother is doing this because he loves you or because he hates you," he blurted out whatever came to his mind without minding.
"Huh?! What’s that supposed to mean?" She questioned, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "I asked you a simple question and you replied with such a riddle."
Kace resisted the urge to facepalm his forehead at the moment.
He simply sighed.
"You asked me a question and I’ve replied to you, Selene. You can go ahead and pick whichever answer you want from the options I’ve given to you."
Selene frowned, before sighing as well.
"By the way, how old is Xavier?" She suddenly asked.
"He’s thirty-three," Kace replied.
The ice cream cup that was in Selene’s hands dropped.
"He’s thirty-three? He’s nearly a decade older than me. He’s nine years older than me," she nearly screamed.
"Will you calm down? It’s just a small age gap."
"He’s nine years older than me," she repeated, as if in a trance.
