TRAPPED Marriage

Inculpation

"You should have told me earlier soql your condition, so that I can help you to minimize your risk"

"How can we anticipate if all contracts have been agreed?" Slowly Toby rolled down his window as they crossed the highway "All schedules must go on, my work is not just about me, but about everything else"

"So how did you decide?"

"We'll see after meeting with the director" Toby closed his window and looked straight at the quieter streets."Is the author present as well?"

"The plan is like that, but there's no confirmation yet"

****

The Agency building where Toby took up residence is slowly coming into view. However, of course the crowd of reporters had thronged the main door.

"Why can't they be patient until I make the announcement?"Toby's complaining" Have you arranged the press conference? "

" Of course! "answered Albert confidently as he turned the steering wheel to go to the loading door of the building in the back area.

****

" As the rumors go around you do have a strong aura, to be honest you're a good fit for this role."Welcome Sang Sutradra as soon as Toby takes a seat before him.

" Just right away, I don't like the twisted one"

"Is it because it's busy with the news?"

Toby just kept quiet and started reading the script about the movie they were discussing

"It seems you know that the news about you is not good. Is all of that actually real"

"You can look for re-releases of all my press conference results, I've always never avoided trouble"

"I'm not interested in what is presented in the media, I'm more interested in the real thing. We both know how the world we work in"

A faint smile of Toby's. "All the lies have begun to prove the truth. If it's my parents' problem..." Toby took a moment's breath "it should be separable, considering I haven't lived with them for a long time and moreover I have nothing to do"

"On nepotism...?"

"Well if nepotism I don't have to be hard waiting in line for an audition in the beginning. But when the nepotism happens. Popularity cannot be achieved by corruption, talent and perseverance is the only way to win the hearts of the public"

"Good defense, but nepotism remains nepotism, and all I hear about the project investors you're starring in is your mother. All we know right now, that his money is a little doubtful of its cleanliness"

Brak..?!

Toby closed down quite hard the script in his hands.

"If you're actually reluctant to work with me, I don't have a problem. I'm begging for a job too"

"All works have risks, as long as the risk is not due to his bad work. If it's not a problem for me"

"Toby... I'm.."

"I don't like half things" Toby cut out of interest listening to the director's rant "if you're scared! I told the scriptwriter"

"What would you say..? We haven't even discussed anything?"

"If you don't like gossip about me"

"But...."

Toby pointed his palm "Is this why you asked to meet me earlier?" do you need his sturdy body to stand up again "Do you really think that I will self-surrender...? Do you want to persuade me like that..?"

"I just need consideration, everybody's gonna want to clean Tob"

"Ccrc.. I just don't agree with the script.. Should've made sure the scriptwriter wasn't after me" this time he began to vent his face to the director. "Is that what came to me, so you already know where my qualities are?"

Without a doubt Toby's fingers landed on the end of the director's collar.

Albert who was observing from the outside immediately entered hoping to subside the possibility of a higher dispute.

"Ehem...!! " He tried to warn his Artist not to cause trouble.

Tobyb closed his eyes for a moment, his fingers loosened and he again stood upright as before. His face turned firmly towards Albert who gave the code to immediately exit the room.

"By the way, I'm still very busy.. I will say frankly that you are a cowardly director" he muttered later, when his steps were already at the doorstep.

"Tob.everyone would agree with me, I've been brave enough to tell him, that you won't be popular forever" he said.

"I know.." Toby sizzled quietly when he was outside the room.

"Ups..!!" Albert who was tailing behind Toby accidentally hit Om Yoga who had just passed. The documents in his hand fell.

"You are sick Tob.." asked om Yoga immediately when looking at the map with medical check up.

"Of course, I worked quite hard this ahir" Toby replied casually as he extended his steps.

"Where are you going?"

"We have a press conference in the Hall" replied Albert who had just stood up from picking up the scattered papers and documents.

"But.. The hall is being used for the introduction of a new Artist"

"What??" Toby and Albert looked at each other for a moment.
