I got out of the car wearing only a pair of shorts with a cool shirt and my sunglasses. It was a glorious mid-day in mid-May and the weather strangely in London felt like summer. It had been exactly one week since the exclusive teaser trailer of Bohemian Rhapsody and just today would be the global release, I felt a little nervous about the reaction of the general public. The bohemian journey was becoming real.
And it had also been exactly a week since I had seen Rami and I missed him, seeing him again had only made me miss him more.
I waved with my hand when I saw Brenda sitting in the French-style restaurant, she had invited me to a brunch before my meeting with the FOX executives for the discussion of BoRhap's calendar
- Hello you - I said as I approached kissing her cheek and to sit in front of her
- Lucy - I try to smile, usually Brenda my manager was very confident and could even be a pain in the ass but at that moment she looked really nervous
- What's wrong? - I asked feeling anxious, what was happening now? Another article where they denigrated me? Something about the movie? about Rami?
- I want to be honest with you ... Nick has told Rami so soon one way or another you'll know ... - her faltering voice
I was shocked to see Brenda act like this, it was the first time in all these years
- What are you talking about?
- I know that I don't have the slightest right to get into your private life but at that moment it seemed like a good idea with everything that was happening ...
- What?
- When everything started to get complicated, when the media finally started talking about you but not in the way I wanted to, I just went into the panic, Lucy. And suddenly I thought somehow that the presence of Rami was the culprit of everything
I frowned, what the hell was she talking about?
- And on the other hand, Nick thought the problem was you - she continued
Nick? The manager of Rami? What did she have to do with all this? And what was it all about?
- So we conspire to manipulate you both ...
Suddenly all the times that Brenda made derogatory comments about Rami came to my head, as did all of Nick's words about me and how it was affecting his career. We had been coldly manipulated and what was worse, we let other people get into our relationship
- I can not believe you did this ...- I whispered surprised
- I'm so sorry - she seemed honest, but I was too upset - Now we both see it, we were wrong. And I hurt you, you're not just a "client" for me, I really care about Lucy. And I'm sorry
- You helped to damage what could and I'm sure was the love of my life - the tears accumulated in my eyes
- I know, Lucy - Brenda's voice broke - I'm doing what is within my reach so you can be with him again. I never wanted things to end like this
- First you should have thought better - I said standing up - And now it's too late to repair what is already broken - I ended up walking away.
I extended my hand to a taxi that I quickly climbed giving the direction of the FOX studios. In the way I tried to remember everything that Nick and Brenda had done to us. I remembered that first conversation about Rami with Brenda and her contemptuous tone towards him: "... Are you sure of Rami... What are you talking about ... That if you are being with him is really worth everything you're facing and are going You're ready for people to call you fake, gold digger, to sell, pure promotional girl and couple ?... Yes I'm in love with him.... Well, as you please". She "advising me "about deleting Rami's photo in my instagram. She and Nick looking friendly in Paris fashion week in some strange way. How she had pushed me away from Rami at the entrance to the Miu Miu show. And then Nick telling me things like: "Rami asked you to take those photos? .... You made my job more difficult... I know what happened with Bryan Singer started because of you". And then he telling Rami "look I don't think she's good for you .... That girl has only represented problems since you met her, you never had a problem like that before" And I could go on and on ... how we had been so blind of not realizing what behind everything were pulling the strings behind us to get apart? How Brenda dared! I was so furious ... and so hurt because I had allowed her to ruin one of the best things in my life. Now everything had changed, things could not be undone and Rami and I were broken.
