Chapter 117: Way To Go, Wallace
Kace’s black eyes tore from the red spots on her skin and bore into her frightened blue ones.
“Was it Derek?” He questioned.
Allison’s face went pale when she heard his question. She felt as if her soul had just left her body at the mention of Derek’s name.
When she composed herself, she hardened her face. “That’s none of your business, Kace. Let me go else I will scream and tell everyone you are sexually harassing me. The ripped shirt is more than enough to prove it,” she threatened, silently hoping he would listen to her and let her go because she knew deep inside her, she couldn’t make such a false claim.
Kace stared at her for a few seconds. She looked frightened and relieved at the same time which got him confused.
Reluctantly, he let her go.
Immediately, Allison took several steps back.
Luckily for her, the makeup room was large enough, so she was able to create enough space between them.
She tried to adjust her shirt, but no matter how she did it, it wouldn’t hide the rip around the neck.
“Allison,” Kace called her, his anger palpable but he didn’t know why he was angry. He didn’t share any sort of relationship with Allison yet still, he cared about her.
He took the excuse of being surrounded by young girls he saved from being trafficked to cover up his feelings. He had grown a soft spot for girls who were being treated badly, and Allison was one of them.
Allsion’s head snapped to look at him, wariness evident in her gaze.
“Why would you stay with a guy who hurts you?” Kace immediately regretted blurting out those words as soon as they left his mouth.
‘This is not your business, Wallace,’ he told himself.
He already predicted she would reply, It’s not of your business, reminding him it was indeed not his concern but he couldn’t bring himself to just leave as if he didn’t see anything.
Surprisingly, Allison replied, “We had a misunderstanding.”
Kace was glad she didn’t shoo him off but he couldn’t make sense of what she was saying.
“The both of you had a misunderstanding and he beat you up?”
She nodded, her eyes fixed on the floor as if there was something precious there she was looking at.
“And you haven’t left him yet?” He questioned.
Allison shivered a little.
“I can’t,” she muttered under her breath, which earned her a deep frown from Kace.
As if she’d been in a deep trance all these while, answering Kace’s question back without retaliating, Allison looked up to glare at him.
“There you have it. I’ve answered your questions. Now, can you pretend you didn’t see anything and leave me alone?”
Kace stared at her, silently gritting his teeth in anger.
Doing as she said, he left the makeup room without another word.
Allison slumped on the chair near her when Kace was no longer in sight. A minute later, Natalie came back with the bottled water she collected from the staff.
When she saw Allison’s frightened state, she dropped the water and ran to her.
“What happened to you? Why is your shirt ripped?” She asked.
“Ahh… I wanted to give it a new style by leaving some holes in it but it seems I ruined it,” Allison lied.

Natalie frowned a little, finding a pair of scissors on the makeup mirror.
“You could have just waited for me to come before you tore it. You can’t cut from the edges,” Natalie nagged, completely believing her which had Allison sigh in relief. “I will help you do it.”
Selene saw Kace leaving her makeup room with a grumpy expression and couldn’t help but be curious about what might have happened.
Shrugging, she finished setting a few things with the directors and everything was ready.
“Selene.”
She heard someone call her name. Turning, she found Liam. Selene was slightly shocked seeing him on the set since he wasn’t starring in the movie. He’d declined the offer since he was busy with his photoshoots and collaborations.
“Liam, long time no see.”
The both of them shared a brief hug before releasing.
“Can I talk to you in private?” He requested.
Selene was slightly taken aback, but she nodded nonetheless.
They went outside.
“I know that you must be busy with your new movie and photoshoots and everything. It’s just that I got tickets to watch a movie and I have a spare one. I was wondering if you would like to go with me,” he offered.
The smile that was on Selene’s lips faltered when she heard him.
She suddenly recalled months ago when he’d invited her for a hangout and somehow Xavier found out about it and intruded.
She wasn’t bothered about the fact he intruded. She didn’t want to spend any intimate time with Liam. She only saw him as a friend.
“Liam…” she drawled, thinking of ways to reject his offer gently. Liam stared at her with eyes lit up in excitement. “You know Xavier and I are dating, right? It would be inappropriate if we go out together, just the both of us.”
Selene felt a thorn prick her heart when she saw how hurt Liam was. She didn’t mean to hurt him but she had to stop him from thinking they would end up together.
She was a married woman after all.
“The both of you are dating huh? I thought it was a mere rumor,” he recalled.
Neither Xavier nor Selene had acknowledged the rumor that spread about them dating. But it didn’t seem they would believe what they said anyway, so they simply went with the flow.
“We are indeed dating,” she acknowledged. “I’m sorry but I can’t go with you to the movie. You can go with Martha instead,” she suggested.
Martha and Liam may only be best friends, but they looked good together, almost as good as a couple but it seemed they didn’t share such feelings.
Although hurt by Selene’s rejection, Liam tried to mask it with a smile.
“Martha is a pain in the ass,” he joked, trying to ease the tension. Selene smiled at him.
