Chapter Two

Get lost! Scarlett opened her eyes and saw that there was a complete stranger in her car. She was surprised. It took her a good minute to figure out what was going on. "Who the hell are you?" Scarlett asked. She was already pissed after meeting that stupid blind date of hers and some stranger is sitting in her car. Ryder turned to look at the woman whose car he had gotten into. After Julia drove his car away, he had received a call from his father asking him to come back to the company immediately. He was the CEO but his father was still the chairman. He probably had something to complain about so he was calling him. But he just gave his car away. He decided to try his luck by charming a woman into giving him a ride. He is after all, Ryder. Is there a woman who can resist his charm? He was still looking around when saw this woman walk out of the restaurant that he had been in with Julia. He smiled to himself and got into her car. Looking at her now, he had to admit that the woman was quite pretty. He could not see her face well since she was wearing a pair of dark sunglasses but he could already tell that she was quite pretty. He flashed her his best smile. "Hi, I'm Ryder Thompson. Do you mind giving me a ride? Don't worry. I'll repay you" He said. Then he winked at her. Ryder was sure he had impressed her. After all, there is no single woman he wanted to impress that he had not impressed in the last five years. Scarlett however was different. She looked at him like she was seeing a clown performing in front of her. What does this person think that he is doing right now?! Scarlett did not know Ryder at all. She did not deal with the CEO of her agency. Her manager was the one who handled those things for her. She just had to act so how would she know the Playboy CEO of Helian Entertainment? She did not know him at all. To Scarlett, this person could not be more than a crazy drifter! "Who the hell are you? Who do I have to give you a ride?!" Scarlett yelled. She should not have left home today. She just keeps running into all kinds of annoying situations. Ryder was taken aback. He just smiled at her, he did his very best to impress her but instead she yelled at him. Did he not try hard enough? He refused to give up. He is definitely going to charm this woman! "If you know who I am, I'm sure that you will want to give me a ride? Why don't we do this? Help me out this once and then you can decide how I'll pay you back. What do you think of that?" Ryder asked. Now Scarlett was convinced that this person is crazy. How dare he hop into her car and demand a ride? And where the hell is Rose? It seems that she has been too nice to her lately. That's what she's acting this way. "Who the hell are you?! Why should I give you a ride?!" Scarlett asked. She was already angry enough. Does he need to upset her more? Ryder was not prepared to give up. Does this woman know who he is? "I told you that I am Ryder Thompson! Do you really not know who I am? I promise that you won't be running a loss if you help me out today. Just take me to Helian Entertainment" Ryder said. "Why should I know who you are?! And why do you need to go to Helian Entertainment?" Scarlett asked. Since he had mentioned her agency, she was instantly alert. Ryder thought that he had finally caught her attention. Once she knows that he is the CEO of Helian Entertainment, she definitely won't hesitate to help him then! "I am the CEO of Helian Entertainment. Just take me there" Ryder announced with pride. Scarlett burst out laughing. This person really is completely crazy! CEO? Of Helian Entertainment? What a joke! "What? You are the CEO of Helian Entertainment? If you are the CEO then I am the Chairman's daughter!" Scarlett said. Ryder was even more surprised. He had received more surprises in the few minutes that he had spent talking to this woman than he had received in the twenty five years of his life. "You, you really don't believe me? I am the CEO of Helain Entertainment though. Why won't you believe me?" Ryder asked. Scarlett started to think that something is wrong with this man. Is he perhaps a reporter, who wants to get a picture of her and write some crazy story? Or is he a crazy fan who is stalking her? "Hey, who are you? Are you a reporter? Are you following me right now for some story? Or, are you a crazy fan who is stalking me right now?" Scarlett asked. She is a celebrity, if he really is a reporter, or a stalking fan, then it could be fatal for her career. "What? Reporter? Fan? What nonsense are you talking about now?" Ryder asked. He was already getting frustrated and so he raised his voice a bit. Since she is wearing sunglasses, does she think that she is a celebrity? "Since you are dressed like this do you think that you are some sort of a celebrity?" Ryder asked. Scarlett was beyond angry now. This is the second time that someone is insulting her career today! She definitely won't be able to put up with it any longer! "What?! Do you really not know who I am? I am Scarlett Kingston!" She said. Scarlett did not believe that there was someone in this country who did not know of her Ryder though, did not know her. Even though he owned an Entertainment agency, he did not pay much attention to the entertainment circle. Infact, in the company, he did not do any real work at all! He was the perfect lazy heir who only knew how to spend the money people earned for him! "Scarlett Kingston? Is there a reason for me to know you? Just help me out. I really am the CEO of Helain Entertainment!" Ryder said. Scarlett was more convinced that something was wrong. He is the CEO of Helian Entertainment and he doesn't know the most popular actress of his agency? What a joke! She definitely won't believe it! "I don't know who paid you to follow me around but once I find out who you really are, I definitely won't let you go at all! Now get out!" Scarlett yelled. "But I really am..." Ryder tried to argue but Scarlett did not give him a chance. "Get lost!" She yelled. Ryder realised that this woman won't be helping him at all. He was just wasting his time talking to her. He got out of the car. Before he left, he took a second look at her. She said her name is Scarlett Kingston right? He will definitely find her and get back at her! Scarlett watched him get out of the car. Who the hell is that crazy physopath? However, what the both of them did not know was someone had been taking pictures of them. From when Scarlett got into her car to when Ryder got in and left, someone had taken pictures of all of it... Scarlett was still brooding over the incident when Rose came back. Immediately she saw her, Scarlett started yelling at her. "Hey! Where the hell did you go?!" Scarlett asked. If she was here, then that would not have happened! Rose could see from Scarlett's expression that something had happened. Did the blind date go that badly? "What happened Scarlett? Did the blind date go that badly?" Rose asked her. Scarlett glared at her. "Don't ever mention that blind date in front of me. Let's just go!" Scarlett said. She is upset enough as it is already. About the blind date, she was sure that woman Vivian already knew about it. Ryder was still standing by the road trying to figure out what to do when a car pulled up in front of him. It was his best friend Matt Cathers. Ryder breathed in relief when he saw him. He was saved! He immediately got into the car. "How did you know that I am here?" Ryder asked. Matt already started the car. "Your dad called me and asked me to get you to go to the company as soon as possible. I'm the PR director but I feel like I'm a secretary who picks up after you. Anyway I saw Julia with your car and I asked her. She said she parted ways with you here. So the both of you broke up?" Matt asked. Matt knew Ryder really well. He knew what he was like. "Yes, I broke up with you. I got tired of her already" Ryder said and smiled. Anyone else would think that it was just a normal smile, but Matt could see through that. Sometimes, he just wished that Ryder could be completely over what happened five years ago. He said he got over it but he wouldn't be acting like this if he really is over that woman right? "Ryder, why don't you think about settling down with someone? Instead of going around in circles like this. Is he because of what happened? Because of her.?" Matt asked. Ryder turned to Matt. Why is he suddenly bringing that up? "That woman? What woman? I already told you that I'm over it. Don't bring her up again" Ryder said. Matt sighed, since he doesn't want to talk about it, he should drop it right? For some minutes, the car was quiet. Then Matt suddenly turned to him. "If you were going to come why did you take so long? Because of you, I ran into a completely crazy woman!" Ryder asked. Matt turned to him. "A crazy woman? Did you find some other woman as soon as you dumped Julia? It didn't even take you a week this time!" Matt said. "I definitely don't want to have anything to do with that crazy woman! Is there really a woman who isn't interested in me? I really want to know that!" Ryder yelled. Turns out he was still angry. Matt could sense that something must have happened for Ryder to be this angry. "What happened? Did you try to charm her?" Matt asked. "I only asked her for a simple favour and she called me a reporter and a stalking fan! What part of me looks like a reporter? How do I look like a fan of hers? Does she think that she is some kind of a celebrity?" Ryder asked. As a PR director, Matt could already see that something has happened. Did Ryder run into a celebrity by some chance? Even if he ran into a celebrity, Ryder won't recognize her, he knew none of the artists who worked for him! "Did she tell you her name? If she is a celebrity, it makes sense that she should be worried about that" Matt said. Ryder glared at his friend. Is he taking the side of that woman now? He doesn't even know her! "What celebrity? There is no way such a crazy woman can be a celebrity! Anyway she said that her name is Scarlett Kingston or something. Use all our PR resources to find that woman. I'll definitely make her pay for the insults that she gave to me today! Who the hell does she think that she is? Does she think that she can do whatever she wants?" Ryder asked. Matt turned to Ryder. There was shock in his eyes. He immediately stopped the car. "What?! You met Scarlett Kingston?! " He asked. There was obvious shock written all over his face.
