Judie swallowed, feeling a twinge of nervousness. âAnd you made Fannie your agent to keep an eye on her for Bobby, right?â Mayer added.
Judie might be good at acting like they were a couple, but Bobby sucked. It didnât take long for Mayer to notice the truth.
Regaining her composure, Judie forced a smile. âAnd so? Iâm telling you, Bobby will do everything to win Fannie back. If you want to keep your career, leave her alone.â
Mayer snorted. He knew he had no match for Bobby, whose authority and influence could make or break anyone with a word. âYou donât need to tell me. But Iâll be keeping an eye on whether his tactics will work and how youâll deal with the consequences.â
His words and imposing gaze caused Judieâs retort to catch in her throat. This stubborn young man managed to intimidate a seasoned actress like her.
After being mercilessly kicked out of Fannieâs place a few days ago, Bobby had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Fannie was being so unreasonable and ungrateful, and he was very much frustrated by it.
Why wouldnât she like him back now that he could reciprocate the feeling? She kept avoiding him instead. Was she that afraid heâd hurt her again?
His intentions were crystal clear, yet sheâd continuously ignored them.
Early that morning, Bobby found himself at Katherineâs office. She had summoned him at his parentsâ request to talk some sense into him, as they were concerned about his troubled state.
Katherineâs maternity leave had ended, so she and Shawn were back at work. Though she was now a mother, Katherine had no plans on abandoning her career.
They hired enough help to care for the baby while she was at work, and her parents also pitched in. This allowed her to balance work and motherhood with ease.
She did nowâpumping breast milk in the lounge inside her office, a routine that had already ceased to be a novelty at the company.
Hands behind his head, Bobby lay on the sofa, his eyes on the office ceiling. âItâs obvious that I like her, but why the hell canât she see it?â
Katherine emerged from the lounge like she hadnât just pumped breast milk, her demeanor all sophisticated as the career woman that she was. âIâd probably ignore it too if I were in her shoes.â
Bobby looked offended as he glanced at her. âWhy?â
âYour rumored relationship with Judie is all over the place. Why would Fannie take your advances seriously with that information?â
Katherine rolled her eyes. âDo you ever think before you act? After giving the world the impression that you like Judie, now you say you have feelings for Fannie. No oneâs going to buy that, especially Fannie.â
