Chapter Two
Nathan had arrived and they were awaiting Haley's grand entrance. Although they were meeting in separate rooms, Nathan knew something was going on.
"What are we waiting for?" Nathan asked.
"What makes you think we're waiting on something?" Lucas asked.
"Well you asking me how my night went, I think isn't what you called me for," Nathan said, sarcastically.
"Yeah, I know," Lucas said, about ready to give in, when his office phone rang.
Saved by the phone, he thought.
"I gotta get this," he said, holding up a finger.
Nathan was getting a little upset, by his brother's actions, but he was willing to wait until he got off the phone.
"Uh huh, alright, we'll be right in," he said.
"Alright, our meeting can begin, we were waiting for one last person," Lucas said.
Nathan got excited, he thought it might be the casting director, for the action movie he wanted to play in.
"Let's make our way to the conference room," Lucas said, opening his office door.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Haley hadn't been in the conference room for longer than a couple of minutes, when a tall blonde man, and a familiar face came walking into the room.
"Hales, this is Lucas Scott, and this is his brother Nathan," Chris said, pointing to each one.
"Nate, this is Chris Keller and his protégé Haley James," Lucas said.
Nathan shook both of they're hands and then they sat down.
"Okay, Nate, you know how you wanna act right?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah, but what do these to have to do with acting," Nathan said, as he glared at Haley who was snickering.
"I'll tell you in a minute," Lucas said.
"Hales, you need to get a good rep, and good publicity," Chris said.
"Okay, first off, I don't need anything, you want it, and secondly, your telling me that model boy over thinks he can be an actor?" Haley said, slightly slurring her words.
"Yeah, I know I can be an actor, and maybe if you weren't an alcoholic bitch this meeting might get done sometime this year," Nathan yelled.
Lucas and Chris both rolled their eyes.
"Well, we have a way to help both of your careers," Lucas bravely added.
Both glared at him, "How?" they both said.
"Well, you two are going to pretend like you were dating, and then have a romantic engagement," Chris said, stepping away from Haley.
"I'm gonna do what, with who now?" Haley said, trying but failing to smack Chris.
"It only has to be for about seven months or so, then you guys can break-up," Lucas said.
"This is going to fix our careers how?" Nathan said.
"Well, if the casting directors can see you beening all sweet and romantic, that will better your chances for a role," Lucas said, matter of factly.
"Yeah, and Hales, if you lay of the alcohol in public, and show effection toward someone else, well people will actually like you," he said, taking an extra step back.
Haley went to smack him again, but this time she fell off of her chair and landed on the floor.
"You want me to pretend to like that?" Nathan asked.
"I know it will be a hard sell, but if you can sell it then you know you'll be able to handle acting," Lucas said.
"True, I guess I'm in," Nathan said.
Chris helped Haley up, who was holding her head.
"Yeah, me too, I guess," Haley said, laying her head down on the table.
