The next morning,
Natalie woke up at five am, Jian has a taping for today , so they have to wake up early.
Natalie washed her face and brushed her teeth before she get out from her bedroom.
She thought that Jian is already awake , but she was surprised when she didn't saw him in the kitchen.
"Is he still asleep?" Natalie asked herself.
"But the taping will start at seven in the morning , he should wake up now!" With that thought, Natalie went up stairs and headed to Jian's bedroom.
Natalie knocked on the door but she was surprised when it was Victoria who opened the door!
She's wearing Jian's shirt and she looked so tired!
"Y-you?!" Natalie asked with her confused expression.
-----
Victoria thought that it was Jian who knocked on the door but she was wrong!
It was Nana!
Victoria instantly felt annoyed but it quickly fades away when she saw Nana's surprised reaction which turned into confused expression!
Victoria is a smart woman when it comes to getting rid of her rivals, she would take even the tiniest chance to get rid of them and this time, an idea came to her mind!
"Oh hello Natalie!" Victoria smirked.
"Why are you here?" Natalie asked.
"Oh! Why don't ask Jian?" Victoria said with a mysterious smile.
"Or... would you like me to tell you?" She asked.
"Alright! I'll tell you!" Victoria didn't give Natalie a chance to speak.
"Jian brought me home last night!" Victoria proudly said. "Are you here to wake him up?" Victoria asked. " I guess it would be better not to wake him up right now, because I am sure he got tired last night." And then she smirked.
Natalie is not stupid, of course! She understand what Victoria meant to say.
But Natalie still tried to looked calm in front of Victoria. Thoug she is trembling and hurting inside, but she still tried to look confident and unmoved.
"Oh! I guess I should wait for him to wake up then!" Natalie said in a trembling voice.
And then she turned to leave but Victoria called her again.
"Nana!"
Natalie stopped in her track but she did not face Victoria.
"I just want to tell you that, Me and Jian are planning to work things out again. We're planning to get back to each other and start over again. And as his girlfriend, I wouldn't allow my man to live with another woman in the same house!" Victoria said.
"So, if I were you, I would find for another place to stay!" Victoria added.
Natalie pursed her lips but she did not reply. She continued to walk downstairs and headed to her bedroom.
Victoria smirked, ' Good job Victoria!' She said to her self.
And then her phone rang and it was Sabrina.
She's here to pick her up.
When Jian woke up, Victoria had already gone home and he have no idea what had just happen between Nana and Victoria.
-------
"Uh, Nana, why is your eyes are swelling?" Stephen asked when he saw Natalie inside the car.
"It's nothing, I've just sleep too much." Natalie replied.
"Yeah! You slept too much that's why you haven't woken up." Jian joined the conversation.
Natalie glared at Jian but she didn't say a word.
' Yeah, you woke up late because you were tired of doing ' exercise' with Victoria last night! ' Natalie wanted to shout those words to Jian's face. But she chose to keep silent.
Jian didn't notice Natalie's glare to him.
"Oh, it's alright! We're not yet late anyway! " Stephen said as he looked at Jian through the rear view mirror.
During their travel to the set, Natalie didn't speak much. She's not in a mood to talk right now, her mind is filled with the words of Victoria when they talked this morning.
When they arrived at the set.
They still have a few minutes before the taping start, so Stephen bought a breakfast for Natalie and Jian.
But when Stephen get back to the set, Jian was gone and he can't find him!
"Nana, have you seen Jian?" He asked to Natalie.
Natalie looked up to Stephen and shook her head. "Nope!" she replied.
"Uhm, could you help me find him? The taping is about to start and he hadn't eat his breakfast yet!" Stephen said.
Natalie think for a moment before she nodded her head, "Alright!" she said and then she get up from her seat and walk away.
Jian is talking to someone on the phone. He had gone to a silent place so that he can hear the person from the other line.
"Alright, thank you." he said and then he hung up the call.
He didn't hurry to go back to the set. He stay there for a few minutes.
"Hi! "
Jian turned his head when he heard a familiar voice of a woman from behind him.
It was Victoria!
Victoria walked closer to Jian and she stood in front of him.
"Jian, I... I just want to say thank you for last night." Victoria said with her head lowered.
"Enn.." Jian nodded.
"And..." Victoria raised her face.
"I'm sorry if..." But she froze when she saw a familiar figure of a girl coming to their direction!
Victoria didn't think twice, she suddenly pulled Jian's colar and kissed him on his lips!
Victoria put her right arm around Jian's neck to prevent him from pushing her away!
Natalie's footsteps came to a stop when she saw the two people ahead of her.
And... They were kissing!
Natalie was stunned!
Her heart shattered and she feel like her it's bleeding and it felt so painful!
Even if the man has its back against her, she can still recognize him!
It was Jian and the woman is Victoria!
-----
Jian was about to push Victoria but it is also the same time that Victoria withdraw her lips from his lips!
"You----" Jian wanted to strangle Victoria's neck!
"Oh, hello there Nana!"
Jian's word was stuck in his throat when he heard Victoria's word.
He automatically turned behind him and there!
He saw Natalie!
And just by seeing her reaction, he knew, that she saw him and Victoria!
Jian's eyes went wide open, his face turned pale and he felt anxious!
"N-Nana!"
"I-I'm..." Natalie gulped and she blinked her eyes for a few times to prevent her tears from rolling down to her face. "I'm sorry to interrupt the two of you... But... Mr. Zhou... had been looking for you." Natalie said.
"I have to go now!" As soon as she finished talking, Natalie hurriedly leave the place.
"Nana!" Jian called her.
But Natalie ignored him and she keep on walking away from him.
Jian took a step to chase Natalie, but Victoria grabbed his wrist.
Jian glared at Victoria and he violently pulled his arms.
"Stop this Victoria! I am telling you this for the last time! There is no hope for us! I don't love you anymore!" Jian said and he run and try to chase after Natalie.
