Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

With a face shadowed by anger, Tyrone withdrew his phone and dialed a number.
“Do you have knowledge of Bradley’s current engagements? I need to know them all!”
“I’m not sure. I only know about a talent show, and he has a couple of advertisements to shoot. We’re also investing in a
contemporary play, with him as the lead actor...”
“How are preparations for that? When does shooting begin?”
“We’re nearly ready. It should begin after Christmas...”
“The shooting will begin tomorrow.”
“What?” the person on the line exclaimed, clearly shocked, thinking they had misunderstood. “Mr. Blakely, are you serious?”
“I’LL cover any additional costs caused by the accelerated schedule.”
“Well... It’s not just about money. Advancing the schedule could conflict with other actors’ plans...”
“You have three days to negotiate. Three days from now, I want to see Bradley at work.”
“Well... Okay. I understand. I’ll begin immediately.”
It didn’t matter if other actors couldn’t start, as long as Bradley could. Since he had no other commitments, he must have time.
“I’LL be waiting for your good news.”
After ending the call, Tyrone fixed his grim stare back on Bradley, knowing he had to endure his presence for just a few more
days.
“If I didn’t come, where would you be going this afternoon?” Bradley inquired, accepting the garnishes from the waiter and setting
them at the edge of the table.
“We’re planning to take the ferry. I’ve heard we can capture excellent views of the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge while
aboard the ship,”
Sabrina said, enjoying a piece of meat.

“Then let’s take the ferry. I’ll go along with you.” Bradley glanced at Sabrina’s empty glass. “Would you like more soda? I can
fetch you a drink.”
“Okay,” she agreed, placing two mushroom pieces into her soup.
“ALL right.” Bradley returned the cup to its place in front of Sabrina before sitting down.
“Thank you.”
“How have you enjoyed Linbourne these past days? Where are you headed next?”
“We were thinking of Melbo tomorrow, but since you just arrived today and haven’t yet explored Linbourne...”
“It’s fine. I’ve been to Linbourne before for work and enjoyed it. We can head to Melbo tomorrow,” Bradley said.
