Chapter 109: Ex?
Kyle was leaving the apartment but at the door, he ran into the most unlikely of people.
"Who the fuck are you?" A man barked and Kyle didn't need to be told who this man was.
It was clearly her husband, he was much smaller than him, standing at a height of 5 '7 but Kyle didn't say a word.
He just looked at him, he didn't feel threatened by the scrawny man in front of him.
Is this why Cassandra invited him over because she knew this man was coming over?
If anything, why was he here to begin with?
There couldn't have been a worse timing than this but Kyle wasn't about to make a big deal out of this.
"Hello to you too," Kyle finally responded, looking down at him literally.
Luckily, Cassandra came out before the conversation could evolve into something violent.
"What are you doing here, Justin!?" Cassandra barked at him.
Justin was a balding man in his early-mid forties, he looked like a worn-out rag doll with the eyebags under his eyes telling a story of his struggles with life.
He was out of shape but the moustache hanging above his lips made him look like an 80s paedophile. Kyle almost chuckled upon seeing that this was the man that managed to land Cassandra.
"Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder," Kyle mocked the man right in front of him.
The way he swore at him, Kyle knew he could take him on in a fight so he had no idea why he was being so rude.
"What did you say!?" The man barked but that was all he was, all bark.
There was nothing else he could do and Kyle wasn't worried about him swinging either.
Kyle didn't move past a certain point, standing in place because this man struck him as a violent man.
Nudity would surely drive viewership and marketability but this was where Calista drew the line.
She approached Lucas in his office once again but he was busy on his laptop.
"You again? Are you here to complain about the script?" Lucas asked, expecting Calista to be passive.
She wouldn't have had a problem with the script if it had been there from the start but these changes felt impromptu.
She didn't have to put up with it and this was where she was going to make a stand.
He couldn't sleep with her so he wanted to humiliate her on camera?
She wanted to be taken seriously as an actress and the last thing she needed was a movie like this because even the softcore film she acted in never included full nudity.
The sex scenes were her either grinding or humping on someone to simulate intercourse, there was no nudity so this would be her first in that regard.
Even though there were flashes of her breasts on screen, the nipples were never exposed as they usually had a band around them that pertained to the scene.
"I'm sorry sir but I cannot do this scene," Calista outright told him, she didn't beat around the bush.
"If you don't do it, we will find someone else who will," Lucas responded once again but this was him bluffing.
"I think that would be for the best, this wasn't the script I signed up for. I was fine with you adding the kissing scene but propping me up as some sort of sex object– a scene that wasn't originally in the script?" Calista challenged him but she didn't wait for a response before heading for the door.
She felt her heart drop. Of course, this was too good to be true and all the expectations she had crumbled right in front of her.
She had gotten too excited about something but there she held him clamping his laptop shut.
"Fine, I will take the scene off the script," Lucas conceded because he knew that Calista was one of the few people he couldn't lose as her role went beyond him.
Favouritism if you will and he was the one that could be replaced but of course, Calista wasn't aware of this and he hoped to take advantage of the situation.
But she wasn't having any of it and Lucas knew his little games had to end.
