Chapter 1
Plan's POV
As I drove my car towards the building where I was supposed to meet with the other actors who had been selected to perform in the Love By Chance series after a rigorous process and deliberation by the producers and director, I felt some kind of doubt and anxiety. Should I have thought things over very carefully before signing the contract that bound me to all the rules that had been stipulated in the contract? What if I decided midstream to abandon my role because I discovered belatedly that this was not my cup of tea? Would my manager and my agency fire me permanently? Did I have any other option of carving my name in the entertainment world other than being an actor?
All these questions kept running around in circles in my brain as I drove around the parking lot looking for a space to park my car. The parking lot was wide and spacious but it looked like every single parking space had been taken.
The huge skyscraper of a building housed several businesses including the offices of the producers of the Love By Chance series. It didn't come as a surprise therefore that the parking lot could barely provide space for all the cars of the employees and visitors and owners of the businesses in the building.
I drove around several times before I noticed a car backing out of a parking space and waited for it to leave. I had not noticed the red Chevrolet Cruze that had also been waiting to park in the exact same spot. I quickly swerved my car into the vacated spot.
As soon as I parked my metallic blue Ford Focus I heard a loud honk. I turned and saw the red Chevy Cruze behind me, the driver who looked about my age, giving me the finger before he drove angrily away.
"Up yours too," I muttered as I dashed inside the building and caught the elevator just as it was about to close.
I said thank you to the guy who pressed the "open" button for me.
"What floor?"he asked when I stepped into the elevator..
"Ninth please," I replied, "and thank you."
The elevator doors were a few inches from closing when I heard someone call out "Hold the doors please!"
I peeked to see who was calling and noticed that it was the same guy whose parking spot I had swiped just a few minutes ago.
Shit, I reached to press the "close door" button but the guy at the other end had pressed the "Open" button just a second ahead of me.
The angry driver entered the elevator and recognized me instantly. He glared at me but did not say a word. I chose to ignore him and looked straight ahead of me without blinking.
When I reached the ninth floor, before I could step out of the elevator, the angry driver stepped out of it ahead of me.
To my consternation, he entered the same door that I was going into. I wondered anxiously what ever he had to do with the Love By Chance series. I earnestly hoped that he was not one of the producers nor the director. If he was any of those, I would most certainly be in deep shit.
