All On Contract

Chapter 110 - It Will Be All Over Soon

Karla's P.O.V:
I stumble into my office before Jay follows me in and slams the door shut behind us. My heart bangs against my chest when he locks the door and closes the blinds. I stand in the middle of the room and cross my arms across my chest, waiting for him to speak but he doesn't.

I expect for him to start yelling right away or at least smash a few things, that's what he used to do all the time when we younger. He would smash or break anything in his way as he shouted when someone pissed him off.

"Rose...She...She means everything to me." He finally breaks the silence. I don't turn back to look at him or say anything. "Rose is the only one that's keeping me sane." He carries on talking. "If I lose her then I will lose everything I have." He half whispers.

"We think she's using you." I state.

"Using me?" Jay repeat in disbelief as he lets out a confused laugh.

"Yeah." I nod as I cross my arms across my chest and turn to face him. "Nick and I think that she's using you for the contract." I add.

"Think whatever you want." He says with a wave of his hand. "She can't know that I told you that she's one of the creators." He says as he makes his way towards me, making me slowly take a step back.

"Okay." I nod once.

"Okay?" He raises his brow.

"Okay." I shrug. "I promise not to say anything." I say.

"Slight problem here." He says. "I don't believe you." He shrugs. "Don't make me do something I don't want to, Karla. We've known each other too long to destroy everything." He adds in a warning tone that sends shivers down my back.

"Are..." I clear my throat when my voice cracks slightly. "Are you threatening me?" I ask in disbelief.

"Stay away from Rose, Karla." He says sternly. "It's your only warning." He adds coldly before he turns his back towards me.

"And what about Tessa?" I shout after him, making him stop in his tracks. "Don't you care about Tessa?" I ask.

"If I didn't then I wouldn't have come back to this dump that you call a home." He states.

"She needs Marshall-" I start and get cut off.

"No she doesn't." He says quickly.  "It will be all over soon anyway." He adds before he walks out the door, slamming the door behind himself.

Marshall P.O.V:
I place the contract down and look up at Tessa who paces up and down as she talks to herself quietly. Paul and Leroy talk to eachother in hushed tone as we wait for the interview to start.

It's our first interview on live television since the attack. I didn't want to do this and i'm not sure if Tessa wanted to do this but I have a feeling Leroy pushed her to do it, just like he always does.

She's nervous. You can tell from a mile away that's she's shitting it and I would be too if I didn't remember anything. She feels like it's out first interview together. She hates lying and she's bad at it too but to make everyone believe that this is real, she has to lie.

Tessa keeps pacing up and down as she runs her shaky fingers through her long dark hair. I look back at our managers as they walk out of the room, leaving us alone with the make up artist and Lilly.

"Can you uhr..." I say as I walk towards Lilly, making her look up at me. "Can you grab me a drink?" I ask.

"I got you one already." She states as she takes out a water bottle from her bag.

"I already have water" I state. "I need you to grab me a red bull can." I say and watch her as she places the water bottle back in her back before she picks up her jacket.
