One Wild Night

Chapter 210 - Everything Is Set

"So? How are things going with her off-camera?" Jeff asked from behind Bryan as the production team started gathering their things together after the shoot of the day.

Bryan broke his gaze from Sonia who was speaking with Mia, and turned to look at Jeff innocently, "How is what going with who? Mia?"

"Come on, Bryan! Don't think I didn't see the stuff you ordered!" Jeff hissed in frustration, making Bryan chuckle.

"Why do you like sticking your nose in issues that do not concern you?" Bryan asked dryly.

"I'm your manager and every, I repeat, EVERY aspect of your life concerns me, so don't keep things from me," Jeff reminded him.

"How sweet. Speaking about areas of my life that concern you, I think my leg is healing really fast," Bryan said as stood up for Jeff to see.

"Wow! This is great! The CEO would like this," Jeff exclaimed happily as he watched Bryan slowly walk across the room.

"This is good!" The producer called from the side when he set his eyes on Bryan, and then he turned to look at the guy by his side, "Are we done packing up?"

"Yes, sir. We are ready to leave," the guy assured him.

"And did you do what I asked you to do?" The producer asked quietly as he turned to look at Bryan and then at Sonia.

"Everything is set, sir."

"Good. Let's go," he said with a satisfied nod as he picked up his phone.

"I should give the doctor a call. He has to come and take a look at your leg," Jeff said as he picked up his phone.

"Don't worry about that. I already gave him a call, and he promised to stop by later in the evening," Bryan assured him.

"Oh, that's good. Make sure you stay off your legs until he says you are fit to go, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Bryan said with a roll of his eyes.

"So back to what we were saying before you tactically tried to change the subject, you ordered some bottles of Nuru massage gel, huh? You know I had to look it up on the net to know what it was? And the kind of videos I saw? oh, boy!" Jeff exclaimed, making Bryan chuckle.

"You need to learn to mind your business, Jeff."

"You still don't get it, do you? You are my business. I am paid to mind you," Jeff said with a grin, "Do take it easy with her, okay? I don't think the CEO will be too pleased to know that your fake relationship is turning into something serious," Jeff advised, and then walked away before Bryan could ask him any question.

"Let me know how it goes with the doctor, and call me if anything comes up," Jeff called out to Bryan as he picked up his backpack and signaled to Mia to leave with him.

Bryan returned to his wheelchair and escorted them out with Sonia following from behind. They both waved as they watched the others leave, and the moment the last vehicle disappeared from view, Sonia jumped in excitement, "One day to go!" She screamed happily and Bryan laughed as he watched her dancing around in circles.

"So how about that Nuru massage you promised to give me? The massage gel was delivered while we were filming," Bryan said, wiggling his brow playfully.

"Already? I thought we were going to do that when your leg is completely healed," Sonia asked as they both returned to the house.

"I'll be just fine, don't worry about my legs," Bryan assured her with a wink.

"Your phone is ringing," Sonia observed when they walked into the house and she heard his phone's ringing tone. She hurried in the direction of the phone and picked it up, "It's your mom," she said as she handed the phone to him in time before the call disconnected.

"Hello, sweet mama!" Bryan greeted immediately he received the call.

"I just spoke with your brother's girlfriend!" Evelyn announced excitedly.

"Lucy? You spoke with Lucy?" Bryan asked in surprise, turning to exchange a look with Sonia who looked equally surprised to hear them talking about Lucy.

"Yes. You know her already?" Evelyn asked, feeling glad that her sons communicated so well that they knew each other's partners.

"Yes. She's Sonia's best friend," Bryan explained before Sonia could stop him.

"Really! Aww! My soon-to-be daughters-in-law are best friends, that's so sweet!" Evelyn exclaimed.

"Wait! Did Tom ask you to help him speak to her or did she call you?" Bryan asked in confusion, wondering if Tom and Lucy had resolved their misunderstanding.

"Speak to her about what? They were having lunch when I called earlier, so I asked to speak with her," Evelyn explained, "You won't believe that I also know her twin brother, Lucas. I and your father met him some days ago at the hospital," Evelyn added.

"Oh! Wow!" Bryan said for lack of anything else to say. Was this also a coincidence? With the way everything was going he wouldn't be surprised if Jade meets Lucas by accident and then they both fall in love, Bryan thought in amusement.

"How is everything going on with you and dad?" Bryan asked curiously.

"If you really wanted to know, then you should have called me," Evelyn said accusingly making Bryan roll his eyes as he hung up the call and dialed her number.

"Hello, mom! How are you doing?" Bryan asked dramatically making his mother laugh out loud.

"You're still very mischievous," Evelyn said amidst her laughter, "I'm okay. And your father is fine."

"Good. So have you heard from Jade lately?" Bryan asked, wanting to know if Tom had mentioned what was happening with Jade to their mother.

"Not yet. I'm going to give her a call after I'm done speaking with you. Since both my boys are doing well, I need to talk to her about getting a man. She can't mourn Todd forever," Evelyn said with a sigh.

"By the way, I've been following your show. Sonia is very lovely, and you both look really good together. Is she there with you?" Evelyn asked curiously, making Bryan marvel at how she always managed to jump from one subject to another with ease.

"No, she isn't here. She stepped out. I will let her know you asked after her," Bryan lied since he knew that his mother was likely going to want to talk about their wedding if she spoke with Sonia.

"Ask her to give me a call. I need to call your sister now, take care of yourself and your leg. Love, love!" And with that, the call was disconnected.

"Why did you lie to her that I'm not here?" Sonia asked as she came to sit beside Bryan.

"Are you ready to give her the date for the wedding?" Bryan asked, and Sonia giggled.

"Good thing you lied. So Tom and Lucy are no longer fighting?"

"I think so. Maybe we should give them a call, and find out. You call Lucy, and I will call Tom. Don't let them know we heard from my mom," Bryan suggested.. Knowing how Tom had asked him to keep what was going on between him and Lucy away from Jade, he suspected that Tom was trying to do the same with him.
