Chao's POV

All kinds of catastrophic thoughts raced though my brain. All kinds of 'what if's', all kinds of ways and means that I could implement to snatch Plan from the clutches of Apo circled like a tornado in my mind.

I left my office without telling Tay. I jumped inside my car and drove towards the building where Plan was being held hostage. Or at least that was what my frantic mind was telling me.

I cursed over and over as I circled the parking lot of the building. There was not a single available parking space.

Just as I was about to give up, I saw a charcoal gray SUV pull out of its parking space at the far end of the parking lot. I quickly maneuvered my car close to where and it was and as soon as it drove away I swerved into the parking spot.

I put my car in park mode and jumped out and started running towards the building, pressing my car key to lock my car doors even as I was running.

The security guard stopped me at the entrance of the building.

I showed him my credentials and let him know that I was the owner of a publication company and that one of my field reporters was being held hostage by one of the actors inside.

The security guard stared at me in wide eyed disbelief.

"Go inside and bring him to me right now or I will call the police and I will name you as one of the accomplices!" I yelled at the security guard.

The other security guard who was standing beside him and had been listening to everything that I was saying said to me. "Sir, what is the name of your field reporter?"

I gave him Plan's name.

"I will go inside and talk to the manager," he said. "Please wait here."

I nodded wordlessly my heart still throbbing wildly in my chest.

After what seemed to me as an endless wait, the security guard came out accompanied by a tall distinguished looking man in his early forties. He was dressed smartly in a business executive suit just as I was.

He held out his hand to me which I accepted. We shook hands briefly after which he said, "Hi, I am Mr. Sawatmaneekul, the manager of the company responsible for airing the KInnPorsche series. I understand you are the employer of one of the field reporters. Plan, I believe is his name?"

"Yes," I said, trying to tone down the hostility in my voice. "I sent him here to interview the cast of that series, not to be held hostage inside this building."

"He is not being held hostage, sir," Mr. Sawatmaneekul said. "On the contrary he has been offered a cameo role in the series because the actor who was supposed to take that role contracted the virus and has begged off the role. If you go inside you will see that Plan is sitting comfortably without any anxiety at the far end of the table together with the rest of the cast."

"I sent him here to do an interview, not to accept a role of any kind in your series," I replied grimly. "I want him out of there now. I don't care if he's not able to do the interview. I just want to get him out of there right now."

"I'm afraid that's not possible, sir," the manager said. "We cannot interrupt the proceedings. The press conference is being streamed live right now. If we pull Plan out of there, it will cause some kind of disturbance which will be caught on camera and will become the talk of all social media."

I gritted my teeth. I told myself that as long as Plan was not in any danger I could wait until the press conference was over.

"You can come inside with me and we can watch until the press conference is declared over," he said.

The security guard opened the door for us and Mr. Sawatmaneekul led me to a set of chairs, close to the long table where the cast were being interviewed.

Plan saw me as I was being seated by the manager.

He was about to stand up from his place at the end of the table but the manager motioned for him to remain seated.

Many more questions were being asked by the field reporters and I started wondering when the press conference would ever end.

Suddenly one of the field reporters raised his hand and the director motioned for him to ask his question.

"My question is for that young man at the very end of the table," he said. "I recognize him as one of the field reporters who came with the rest of us to ask questions to the cast of this series. Why is he suddenly seated with the rest of the cast?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Plan. I saw fidgeting for a few seconds before he answered hesitantly, "I was offered to be the young man who would be kissing Apo the one who plays the role of Porsche because it will be his emotional revenge against the lead character Kinn."

"No! I am not allowing you to take on that role, Plan!" I stood up from my seat and yelled before I could stop myself. It was just an instinctive reflex action.

A brief moment of stunned silence followed before the room started buzzing loudly with the field reporters asking questions one after another, their voices trying to drown out the other reporters' voices.

I stood up and rushed over to Plan and grabbed him and dragged him out of the building.

I continued to drag him towards my car and when we reached my car, I turned to him and said, "You are mine, Plan. You can be no one else's."
