Chapter 213 - Don't Be So Dramatic

If James will know the truth then everyone else will too which will only lead to chaos so Rachel controlled herself.

"And he?" James asked curiously.

"I think he too likes me, we never discussed this"

"Then what do you two do when you are together?"

Rachel blushed at her grandpa's question, as in their free time they get intimate with each other but she can't tell this to her grandpa so she lied, "We just talk about random stuff"

James was disappointed but he was happy that at least she acknowledged the fact that she likes Daniel.

"Good to know that" James patted her head.

…

Jim and his gang were practising for the play when Amanda received a call and she went to attend it.

Others continued practicing their scene when Amanda suddenly walked towards the stage and asked everyone to stop the rehearsals as she had something important to discuss.

Everyone was confused as Amanda looked serious and they all looked at her attentively.

"Guys, I have an announcement to make, when I planned this play, I had wanted the play to premiere on Friday so that we can have three days to put the show but it didn't seem possible as Fridays were not available but I just got a call from the manager that Friday slot is suddenly available and we can have three days like I planned but the problem is it is only twelve days away from today. That is the next Friday we have to do the premiere."

Everyone in the room was surprised and some were freaking out as originally the play was supposed to premiere after a month, but now they might have to premiere it in twelve days.

The people incharge of props and costumes were the ones who freaked out the most.

Amanda saw the situation and assured everyone, "Guys we are all well prepared with the rehearsals and you all have been doing your job very well, if we grab this opportunity we get to have many shows which is going to be advantageous for you all too. But don't worry there is no pressure if you are all not willing to go premiere so soon but I need to give an answer quickly or that slot will be given away to someone else" Amanda's phone rang again and she left to attend the call.

Everyone started discussing among themselves, after some time she came back and asked them what they decided.

The head of every team agreed to it and said they can manage it. Her four actors too were onboard with this idea. They discussed a few hurdles and Amanda assured she would help them manage. 

Everyone continued their rehearsal after completing it, they all left for their home.

Jim was a bit disturbed with this sudden turn of events. As now he had to disclose to his family about his show.

He wanted them all to attend his first play. He hoped after a month he would do well in the Tanaka project and then reveal about the play he is working in but now things were not going the way he planned.

Currently, his new project is doing very well so he was a bit relieved.

So, he went to Daniel's place to take his advice as he was confused what to do and how to reveal the truth to his family.

Daniel and Jessica were waiting for Jimmy and when they saw him, they got worried as Jimmy seemed like he was in stress.

"What happened?" Jessica asked him worriedly.

Then Jimmy updated Daniel and Jessica about his play being preponed.

"Don't worry Jim, our family will be fine with what you are doing." Daniel assured him.

"No Dan, grandpa will be furious and dad will taunt me"

"Dude chill, I'll be there with you when you tell them about your play, I'll manage them don't worry"

Jimmy felt better after his brother's assurance.

"Thanks Dan, how about we tell them the truth, Thursday night"

"Why Thursday night?" Daniel expected he would tell his family the truth tomorrow itself.

"The next phase of Tanaka project will be closed on Thursday and therefore I'll first give them the good news about it then I'll reveal the truth"

Daniel helplessly shook his head, "You are the limit Jim"

"Please Dan, please" Jimmy begged him and tightly hugged Daniel.

Jessica laughed seeing Jimmy's weird actions.

"First let go of me" Daniel warned his brother who was clinging onto him.

"Why? Only Rachel can hug you? I can't?" Jimmy complained as he felt wronged.

"Stop comparing her to you, that's ridiculous" Daniel scolded his brother.

"You don't love me anymore" Jimmy complained and pouted.

"Don't be so dramatic." Daniel taunted him.

"How can he not be? After all he is an actor" Jessica laughed seeing their interaction.

"Anyway, Jim, I am going to Ireland for a case. I'll be back by Saturday night or Sunday morning" 

"Fuck, are you serious?" Jimmy didn't expect this new twist in his life.

"Yeah, it is an important case"

Jimmy couldn't even ask him to not go as unlike business meetings which can be postponed, Daniel's work cannot be as someone's life depends on it.

"Fine, then Sunday night we will tell them" Jimmy compromised and Daniel patted him on the shoulder, "Thanks for being so understanding"

"How can I not be? It is about someone's life"

Daniel smiled, "I have the best brother in this world"

"But I don't" Jimmy taunted and they all laughed as he looked cute while pouting.

...

Next day 

Rachel's office

Rachel was waiting for Jessica in her cabin as it was the first day of their collaboration.

Sam entered her room and informed her that everything is place and there is nothing to worry about.

Rachel thanked him and appreciated the efforts he put in such a short time. 

"Sam, let me know when they come, till then I will look into my presentation, once everything falls into the place we can start our presentation"
