And both Seraphina and Lucian looks at each other smiling.
Matteo notice that, and intentionally coughed, and both snapped out of it.
“Yes, uncle you were saying..”
“I was not saying anything, you both should continue staring at each other”. Matteo said mockery.
“Samchon”.
“Yes Seraphina”.
“How’s the investigation going”.
“Am still on it Seraphina, don’t worry, once I find the person behind what happened to Paisley, I will let you know right away okay”.
“Alright, and I if I need to be questioned about what happened that day, I won’t hesitate to give my statement”.
“Just leave everything to me okay”. Matteo said.
And Seraphina nods.
“You seem to be close to Mr Matteo”. Lucian said after Matteo left.
“That’s because he’s the only one who’s not a psychopath, among his family”.
“So that means he has been there for you right”.
“No, I already told you, I grow up struggling to survive alone, he only came to apologize to me after I became the face of Australia, I found it weird, but since he made a stepping stone to apologize to me, I forgave him, and he has had my back since then”.
Lucian sighs and takes Seraphina hand slowly caressing it, while Seraphina only looks at him.
“You can’t count on me too Sera, am always here for you, always”. Lucian said.
And Seraphina smiles widely.

8PM~ SUNSHINE ENTERTAINMENT***
Lots of people filled the grand hall of Sunshine entertainment, looking so happy to get an autograph from Seraphina, which was so unlike her.
That was why, no matter how costly the ticket was, they bought it, so they will get an autograph from her, cause Seraphina isn’t a fan of autograph.
“Gosh, I really h@ťě it when people gather around because of Seraphina”. Jamila said.
“So Why are you here then”. Vance asked.
“I didn’t come here for her Van, I came here to see Lucian, the last time we spoke, it didn’t end well, so am here to fixed it”.
Vance looks at her and sighs.
“Then I guess you will have to wait forever, Lucian is so busy helping her out”.
Jamila looks at Lucian from where she was standing, and when she saw how he was taking care of Seraphina as she signs autographs, she frowns.
“I really h@ťě that Seraphina”.
“Don’t h@ťě her Jam, she’s a nice person, you can’t just h@ťě someone because they’re closed to the person you like”.
*Just like how I can’t h@ťě Lucian because you love him Jam”. Vance added inwardly looking at her.
“Wh@ťěver Van, I hope that Paisley wakes up soon, so Lucian can’t stop being her manager, and will you stop looking at me!”. She half yells at him, and Leaves the grand hall.
“Sorry”. He muttered following her from behind, trying to hide his sad face.
The fan signing event ended, and Jamila quickly rushed to Lucian, when he came out from sunshine building with Seraphina.
“Lucian”. She said and quickly hugs him, and Seraphina felt jealous when she did that, but didn’t show it.
“How are you Mila”. He asked smiling.
“Am Fine”.
“Am so happy to see the both of you, did you both came for the signing event”. He asked.
“I can sign for you both, even though the fan signing event already ended”. Seraphina said smiling.
“Did we asked for it”. Jamila asked rudely.
“Huh”. Seraphina muttered.
“Just because we’re here doesn’t mean we need your stupid autograph, we came here to see our friend Lucian, so stop feeling so high and mighty, not everyone likes you”. Jamila said.
“Mila stop being rude”.
“I wasn’t being rude Lucian, I was just telling her the truth facts, she thinks because she’s the face of Australia, I’ll go crazy over her, that where your wrong Seraphina, I don’t like you, and stop pretending to be nice, it pisses me off”. Jamila said.
“That’s enough Mila……Sera I….”
“Is fine Lucian, you can talk to your friends, I’ll just used the restroom”. Seraphina said and leaves.
“What was that for Mila”.
“What did I do Lucian”.
“You…..”
“Lucian, let’s forget about what Jam said earlier, and talk as friends okay”. Vance said, cutting him short.
Lucian looks at Jamila, and she rolled her eyes, folding her arms.
“Mila what’s going on with you, what’s with this attitude of yours, is like I don’t know you anymore”. Lucian said.
But Jamila didn’t say a word.
“Is she by chance possessed”. Lucian asked Vance.
“Just ignore her Lucian, she gets crackly when she in code red”.
Lucian sighs and looks at Jamila.
“Mila if you have a problem with me, can you please just say it, and stop acting this way, is getting me worried, your my best friend you know that right, you can talk to me, did I do something wrong”. Lucian asked.
Jamila looks at him and sighs.
“No you didn’t Lucian, is just me being me, and am sorry for the way I acted at Militia makeup house, and just now, am sorry”. Jamila said
Lucian Smiles and rough her hair.
“Stop it Lucian, am not a kid anymore”. She said even if she was so happy Lucian did that.
“You’ll always be my little princess Mila”. Lucian said playing with her cheeks, and Jamila laughs.
This was what she wanted, for Lucian to be more close to her then to Seraphina, and she couldn’t wait for Paisley to wake up, so Lucian could stop being her manager.
Vance looks at them and felt so sad, Jamila was never playful towards him, like she always did with Lucian.
He clears his throat and said, trying to show how sad he was.
“Now that things are settled between us, can we get a drink together over there”. Vance said pointing at the nearby bar, just a little far from Sunshine entertainment.
“But Seraphina is still inside the building, let’s just wait for her”.
“Am sure she’s going to call you once she can’t find you standing on this spot, let’s just go Lucian”. Jamila said taking his hand.
And Lucian had no option but to follow them, since is being long he spent time with them.
**
As for Seraphina, the moment she went back inside the building, a man wearing a face mask followed her, and he was so good at it, that she didn’t notice.
And when she enters the restroom, he immediately locked the door from outside, using a big padlock.
He smirked, and Leaves, but he didn’t stop there, he went ahead to set the entertainment on fire.
The building began burning gradually until it became known to the people who were still inside the building.
?Fire, there’s a fire!!!
? Fire!!
?The building is on fire!!
People screams in fear, as they began making their way out of the building, trying to save themselves.
Seraphina after easing herself tried opening the door of the rest room, but it’s didn’t open.
“What’s going, why’s this locked”.
And then she began hearing voices shouting that there was fire Inside the building.
And she began knocking on the door looking so scared.
“Someone help, am stuck in here, help!!”. Seraphina said screaming and coughing since smokes were already entering the restroom.
“Someone please me, am in here, please help me…….Lucian!!!!”. She screams out his name crying.
Lucian quickly stood up from the chair he was sitting like someone was calling out for him.
“What’s going on Lucian”. Vance asked.
“I don’t know Vance, but it seems Sera is in danger”.
“What are you talking about Lucian, what danger could the face of Australia, possible be”. Jamila said.
“I have to go back for her”. Lucian said and quickly left the bar, and both Jamila and Vance follows suit.
On getting to sunshine entertainment, Lucian could see people screaming and running out from the burning building.
And he began looking at every single person coming out from the building.
“Vance do you see Sera any where”. He asked looking scared.
“No I don’t, how on earth the fire start”. Vance asked looking surprised.
And Lucian keeps looking at very single person coming out from the burning building.
“I can’t find Sera, she’s not coming out”. Lucian said crying already.
And Jamila smiles on hearing that.
“What if she still inside the building Lucian”. Vance said.
“Then I have to go in search of her”. He said, he about going inside the building when Jamila held his hand.
“Are you crazy, can’t you see the building is burning, if Seraphina inside, you shouldn’t be the one to save her Lucian, you aren’t spider Man”.
“I don’t Care, I have to save Seraphina, so let go of me Mila”. Lucian said and forcefully removes his hands from Jamila, and ran inside the burning building, not minding how dangerous it was.
“Lucian, what do you think your doing, come back, Lucian!!”. Jamila screams.
