Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law

Chapter 138 - You Are Putting Me In A Difficult Position...

After the two ladies walked away, the male washroom door which was by the side opened and the name of the person they just spoke about walked out of the washroom. he adjusted his blazer and looked at the back view of the two ladies and muttered.

''Why was my name mentioned when I don't even know what is going on?''

Lucas heard the familiar voice and turned. He saw Sebastian looking at him.

If Lucas had a matured look, Sebastian was like the boy next door. he was blessed with youthful looks and could pass off as a teenager. They were all in their early twenties and were all in the prime age.

''Hi, Lucas Biden'' Sebastian greeted first.

''Hi, Sebastian Bassey. Were you inside there?'' Lucas asked.

''Yes, but then I heard by name. who are those two ladies that just left?''

''That was Alice Jun and Zeya. We will be meeting with them at the script reading next week''

''I see, excuse me then'' Sebastian said before walking away.

''Sebastian Bassey, did your company hire a new brand ambassador recently?''

''I don't know''

….

''Alice, it's over. I am doomed'' Zeya said as they walked toward the pool area.

''Hey, relax. You are not the only one who is doomed. My reputation is at risk here''

''I shouldn't have run my mouth in such an arrogant manner. I am going to be totally embarrassed once Lucas finds out that I lied''

''Zeya… relax. I am going to talk with Mikael. He knows Sebastian. They went to University together; he will be able to help us''

''But, Sebastian hates me. He thinks I am a rude bitch'' Zeya said and looked up. She flushed and hiccupped when she saw Sebastian walking towards them. Her face became pale when she saw that Lucas was right behind Sebastian.

''Alice, I think my career is over. Sebastian Bassey is here and guess who is right behind him?... Lucas''

''Huh? Can your luck really run out that much?'' Alice turned and saw Sebastian. She immediately pulled Zeya towards Mikael and Natalie.

Lucas who was behind Sebastian saw them and smirked. He knew those two were just bluffing.

Alice stood next to Mikael and spoke in a soft tone, ''Mikael, let's talk''

''What mischief are you up?'' Mikael asked as he looked at Alice.

''Alice, what is going on?'' Natalie asked.

''Sister Natalie, this is about me… I lied about something and I think my whole career is about to crumble in front of everyone'' Zeya said as her eyes watered.

''Zeya, calm down and tell us. What's wrong?'' Natalie said calmly.

''This is the thing…'' Alice started explaining the situation to them.

''Wait! So, to piss off your ex-boyfriend, you lied that you were going to be signed under AGATHA Clothing? And now, you and Sebastian are also enemies, so getting signed under his family company is a no-no'' Mikael asked and chuckled.

''Well, we are not exactly enemies, but we are not friends either. He doesn't have a favourite impression on me. I think he will not hesitate to disgrace me in front of everyone here''

''Well, I interviewed him once, he really has a sharp tongue'' Xia shook her head.

''God! I shouldn't have said anything to Lucas''

''Mikael, you are friends with Sebastian, can't you help Zeya out?'' Natalie asked.

''Sebastian don't do things for free. If I ask him to do me this favour, he will want something in return. That boy has a weird fetish''

''I will do anything he wants. Lucas is the last person I want to show my weakness to. He will only glory in it and use it against me''

''Mikael…'' a familiar voice said making the entire table turn. Sebastian looked at the ladies. He frowned when he saw Zeya.

''Sebastian'' Mikael shook hands with him.

'Don't tell me all these ladies are yours?''

''My wife, Natalie. You already know Alice, Xia and Zeya. I am just protecting them while their men are busy somewhere''

''I see. Hi, Natalie. I am Sebastian'' Sebastian was about to shake Natalie's hand when Mikael stopped him.

''No need to shake his hand'' he took Natalie's hand.

''So protective'' Sebastian turned his gaze to Alice and Zeya. He studied their dresses and asked.

''You two were really loud at the hallway. Did you think the place belonged to you?''

''This place belongs to my best friend's boyfriend, so technically yes, it belongs to us'' Alice replied.

''Reporter Kim and Connor are dating? Why didn't I see this coming?'' Sebastian turned to look at Xia.

''Sebastian, let's talk over there'' Mikael pointed at a corner.

''Why?'' he turned to look at Zeya. ''Are you going to ask me to save her face? She told such an audacious lie back there, shouldn't she be made to pay the price?''

''You heard us?'' Alice asked.

''You two were so loud inside there. I was sitting on my ears''

''Sebastian, let's talk!'' Mikael pulled Sebastian aside.

''Alice, what do I do? Should I leave this place right now? I think that my retirement is getting closer''

''Zeya, relax. trust Mikael, whatever conditions he makes, he won't be able to say no to my husband''

''I see you all have become BFFs so fast'' Mimi walked over to them.

''Why? Do you want to join? Sorry, applications are closed''

''What about me? Are applications closed for me too?'' Gilda Swift asked.

''Mrs. Swift…'' Natalie looked at the woman with a warm smile.

''My husband is having a little chat with Mr. Cobbs and Mr. Song. I didn't want to be the odd one, so I came here''

''You are welcome to join us, Mrs. Swift. The application is only closed to some people'' Alice stated.

Mimi glared at them before turning away. She didn't bother with them anymore.

….

''Why should I do that?'' Sebastian asked as he turned to look at Zeya who was equally looking in their direction anxiously.

''That girl is a white lotus. She is mean and nasty. My family hates her because of what she did to my cousin. Do you think they would agree to it if I suddenly turn this girl into our brand's representative? The only thing she has going for herself is her pretty face. Nothing more''

''You didn't give me any wedding gift. Take it as you giving me a gift and help save her face. She is a changed person''

''Mikael, you are my friend. We've known each other for many years. I would agree to anything else but this one''

''You always wanted to be the main lead right? I will make you the male lead for the drama''

''The casting has been done already. Your sister in law and Lucas are playing the male lead''

''That is an unofficial announcement and can be changed anytime''

''What crazy thing are you planning to do, Sun?''

''How about I make you and that girl the two leads? You will get a lot of time to interact with her. She is actually a decent actress if you ask me and since she started getting close to Alice, she is becoming different. Why don't you give her the benefit of the doubt?''

''You are putting me in a difficult position, Mikael. My parents are going to go wild when this information gets out. If she wants to brag in front of her boyfriend, why did she have to pull me into it? Does she think I am that easy?''

''He is her ex-boyfriend and she is actually scared right now''

Sebastian frowned deeply. ''Will you really be able to make me the male lead?'' he asked.

''Don't you trust me?''

''Prove it to me then''

Mikael smiled and removed his phone. He dialled a number and waited for it to connect.

''Hello, Mrs. Paige Thomson'' he kept it on loudspeaker.

''Yes, Mikael, speak son''

''You haven't made an official announcement about the male lead for your drama. I have someone to recommend''

''Who? I am interested in this''

''How about you try Sebastian Bassey? He is a new face and will definitely attract a lot of viewers. You know he just won new actor of the year, right? it will be a change if you put him on the male lead''

''You… you always do this each time I want something from you. Will you take part in the photoshoot if I agree to this?''

''Why not?''

''Okay. I will do that''

''Thanks, I will visit you tomorrow'' Mikael said and hung up.

''Whoa! How did you do that? That woman is known for being stubborn like a bull''

''Oh, didn't I tell you something else? She is my mother's best friend. I stayed with her during the time I fought with my father and left home. She introduced me into acting''

''You win. I will just save the damsel in distress tonight but I will have to convince my parents before anything official can happen''

''I knew I could count on you'' Mikael patted Sebastian's shoulder before walking away.

Sebastian removed his phone and made a call to someone. ''I want every information on Zeya, let it be on my desk by tomorrow morning''
