Chapter 255

Chapter 255: An Old Acquaintance

The next day, both of them left for the shoot early as expected. Christian, like the day earlier, didn’t focus much on the scene, having been annoyed by Sebastian’s Character beforehand.

He was more focused on the other stuff nearby. Exploring the building, he realised that some sort of MVP will be arriving, and a major event will take place in the hall below, thus vacating the entire place as early as possible.

Being on foreign land, and being by yourself could be a bit overwhelming, but Christian moved as if he recognized each and every corner of this place. After taking a thorough trip through the building, thanks to his access batch of ‘Staff Member’ which Sebastian got him he was allowed to places, Christian ran into a familiar face, “Aren’t you Sebastian’s bodyguard, why are you down here”?

“Aren’t you a crew member? Why are you down here”? Christian snapped back.

“I’m an actor!” Sam defended. “I’m not some random crew member”.

“So, are you or are you not a part of that show Sebastian’s doing?” Christian asked.

“Of course I am,” Sam sighed. “But I’m not a crew member, I am the star,” he huffed.

.....

“The star”? Christian raised his chin, “Which Character do you play?” Before Sam could answer, Christian added, “Don’t tell me the character name. Make it relevant to the characters I saw yesterday”

“I play the lead role, that girl’s love interest” Sam grunted. Sam’s phone beeped and therefore, he decided to leave as he was being summoned.

Christian having been through with his trip, he decided to head upstairs as well. “Christian, I am done for the day” Sebastian found him and informed him. “You hungry”? Sebastian asked.

“Sure” Eyeing Sam from earlier with a dirty look Christian nodded. On their way out a strong smell hit both their noses, almost burning their nostrils. Such strong scents were characteristic of a particular kind of wolves, and it didn’t help that this felt so familiar.

(A/N: Before I move further, make a guess which character it is.)

“Is it me... or does this feel familiar?” Christian asked.

“I think I have smelt this, but nothing of my recent memories is kicking in” Scrunching his nose, Sebastian answered. “But it’s a wolf, that’s for sure.” Sebastian nodded.

“So, what do we do now?” Christian mumbled. “My instincts tell me to not go looking for trouble. My instincts are also telling me to check this out so that I can be aware of my surroundings” He sighed.

“I get what you mean. Even my instincts are running haywire” Sebastian nodded. As the elevator approached the ground floor, the scent only got stronger making them wonder if they were walking into a trap or not.

Getting out they realized that apart from that particular strong smell, there were many werewolves that were on that floor. Alas, Sebastian and Christian didn’t have Ashton’s gift so the best they could do to avoid a very bad situation was to avoid everything in the situation.

“Hello to you two” A familiar voice spoke, making them halt in their place. “Long time no see” in a chilling voice Cyrus spoke.

Turning around, Christian and Sebastian finally noticed the guy, recognizing him finally by his appearance. “Hi” Sebastian greeted him with a smile while Christian just stared at him skeptically.

“Hello” Christian greeted him eventually as well. Apart from his visit in their yearly banquet a decade ago, he didn’t spot Cyrus anywhere at all, which makes sense since he had his own pack in here which was far away from their pack. And yet, somehow his presence made Christian wary of his surroundings.

“What brings you two here”? He tilted his head. “Shooting “? Shifting his glance to Sebastian he asked. Sebastian nodded, confirming his speculation. “Well, since you’re here, why don’t you join us? We are having a party here” he offered them a coy smile.

Before Christian could say no, Sebastian declared, “Sure, we would love to”. As Sebastian followed Cyrus, Christian glared at Sebastian’s back as he was right behind him. “So, what is this party for”?

“Beginning of a new project. I bought this building, today” Cyrus informed.

“You deal with tech right? This is a studio” Sebastian frowned. “Or are you finally expanding your horizon to the entertainment industry”? Sebastian asked.

“Don’t be ridiculous Seb. I will be demolishing this building” Cyrus scoffed leaving Sebastian dumbfounded.

“Wait what”? Sebastian asked, finally recovering. “Why”?

“What do you mean why?” Cyrus raised his eyebrows. “I bought this place, I can do anything with it” Cyrus shook his head.

“Many regular shows and some movies are being filmed in this building, what about them”? Sebastian asked, feeling a bit devastated.

“They can always relocate. Besides, what they do is none of my concern, Cyrus shrugged and left.

“Can you believe him” Sebastian scoffed once he was out of earshot.

“I know” Christian finally spoke. “He gives me the creeps”.

“What? No! I meant about this studio”. Sebastian pointed out.

“Well, he is a businessman, he is just looking for his advantage” Christian shrugged.

“So you agree with him” Sebastian’s brows furrowed.

“No, I’m merely pointing out why he is doing it”. Christian shrugged.

“Then why does he give you creeps”? Asked Sebastian.

“The last time he showed up, he was... he was up to something. Why would he invite himself out of the blue just that once”? Christian raised an eyebrow. “Why would we suddenly become interesting”? He asked.

“Cause you were recently joined by a pureblooded Alpha”? Recalling the banquet from a decade ago, Sebastian mumbled. “But he didn’t do anything”. Sebastian reminded.

“Maybe because he didn’t find Ashton threatening enough.” Christian shrugged. “Not to mention he found out about...” Christian trailed off once he realised where his words were headed. Caleb being an omega is not something Christian just exposed lightly, not even to Sebastian.

“About”? Sebastian pressed.

“Never mind” Christian tried to brush it off.

Sebastian narrowed his brows for a second before mumbling”You’re hiding something aren’t you”?

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“It’s not like that.” Christian tried to clarify only to be hit by a sarcastic scoff. “Besides it’s not like I know everything about you”.

“Because it never came up. I’ll tell you anything that ever comes up, I won’t hide it on purpose” scoffed Sebastian.

“Look, this is not personal. Yes its a secret, but it’s not my secret to tell. I can’t tell you without asking the person concerned” Christian insisted.

“Whatever” Sebastian shook his head, dejected before walking out of the building. Christian was lucky that Sebastian didn’t drive away without him at that point, but the silent ride back home made things way more unbearable.
