"How did it go?" The cameraman walking with the camera jumped from the shock upon hearing someone behind him.
He looked behind and saw Nio with a smile walking toward him. "It went well Mr. Pold, the company will take over from editing and then it will be placed on television." Thinking Nio was asking about the premiere he responded.
Nio continued to walk and caught up to the cameraman. He felt slightly honored, he had worked in the industry for a while and most artists would just ignore him despite his job being as important as theirs...
"That's ideal, I have high hopes for the film. I thought the camera shots made the film if I'm honest." Nio praised the cameraman sincerely.
He wasn't lying, he felt that good acting needed to be complemented by expert camera work and special effects. If anything looks out of place on the footage then you could edit it out. But then the film will look fake and out of touch for the normal person...
The cameraman was a little nervous of the compliment, as he kept walking and listened to Nio's thoughts on the camera work on the film he started to ease up.
"Oh, do you need a drink? I guess that drinking on the job isn't an option for you?" Nio asked considerately.
The cameraman was a little stuck, he had actually drunk some wine from the party but...
"I'd appreciate that thanks." He responded, he couldn't make himself look unprofessional in front of a superstar who was praising his work could he?
Nio smiled in glee. "I'll be a second." He left the cameraman to wait for his drink in the hallway on the way to where the crowd gathered...
The cameraman waited, and waited. After around 10 minutes he started to wonder if he was being played. But what if Nio came back and he had left? Wouldn't that just hinder him unnecessarily?
So he waited for another 5 minutes. Until he saw Nio walking down the corridor.
*Sigh* "Sorry I'm late, I had some visitors." Nio said as he walked toward the cameraman with a cup of coffee in his hands...
Before the cameraman could say anything, however, he felt the back of his legs go numb. As he clutched the wall to stand. He then could only see darkness...
Nio watched as some of Mou's elite men completely subdued the cameraman. "Move him to the base, take the camera and all the footage inside. Talk to Eun about the logistics." Nio's voice stayed in a kind tone. Just now he had much more power and control in his tone.
"Yes boss." The 3 elite men put the cameraman into a body bag and transported him out. While they also moved the camera to some blind spots within the hotel.
.................
"Stella! Are you alright?" Florence asked with concern as she spotted Stella walking out of the toilets.
Stella smiled at the sight of Florence. "I'm fine, something was going on down the hallway so I couldn't get out for a while." Stella gave Florence just enough information to ingnite her curiosity.
Florence and Tracy both looked down the hallway. They saw a group of people and one tall figure they could see from behind...
"Is... I-Isn't that big boss Guillard?" Tracy asked with stuttering. Were her eyes going fuzzy.
Stella looked over to the crowd with surprise written on her face. "It... Is." She was genuinely surprised, this wasn't the plan they had...
"Let's go see if something happened." Florence wanted to ensure her artists' safety. Anything could have happened tonight and it would have affected Stella's reputation if she was involved.
Mou watched the crowd with a dark look in his eyes. Did they really think they would be able to trick him like that? He was getting on the edge of his temper until he heard the best thing he had heard all day.
"Mou... Is something the matter?" From the side he heard a whisper. He turned his head to see Stella looking into the crowd with an unreadable expression...
"Who knows." Mou responded, he was certain Stella went into this room! In fact, he was more surprised to see her no longer drunk and stumbling. He knew what was in Stella's drink that the waiter gave her exactly...
"Mmm, let's go then. It was fun while it lasted." Stella stifled a yawn. It was all too boring...
Mou immediately turned around and started walking. Her words were his orders. But that didn't mean he would look into the woman in the room...
Florence and Tracy both felt a little out of place alongside Stella and Mou. Both were so good looking and almost god's creations... But what was the relationship between the two?
'He definitely likes her.' Tracy immediately concluded. She had heard a few things about Mou Guillard. One was that he is emotionless to those he doesn't care about... The tender and caring look in his eyes when he saw Stella gave him away immediately.
The four walked back to the hall. That was when they saw an anxious Cerim darkly looking down on his phone.
"What do you need?" Cerim turned to see Eun walking toward him with a female companion...
Cerim acknowledged her for a second before realizing that Eun was sweating! "Did something else happen?" Cerim asked nervously, he wondered if his brother was going to explode tonight...
Eun gulped as he looked over Cerim's shoulder. "No, I just rushed to come here. It wasn't easy getting Emily in you know?" Eun responded defensively.
Emily stood beside Eun and shrugged her shoulders, she knew why she was here. But to help Stella she wouldn't mind just being a decoration for the hour...
Cerim seemed confused. 'Does he like Emily?' Cerim started to think back to when they were back at school together.
Eun liked this girl in his class and he couldn't stop talking about her. Her looks, her smile, how smart she was, how she held her pencil... Everything. But then that girl just disappeared one day. Ever since then Eun worked himself to death and achieved things higher than he should be able to with his resources.
Cerim shook his head. Why was he thinking about this now? All he remembered was Eun saying one night that he sweated when he got nervous around her. She often gave him a tissue and he was always so embarrassed...
"Stella?" Emily's voice broke Cerim out of his trance.
Cerim turned his neck to look behind him. Only to be stunned.
"Oh, I caused quite an issue didn't I?" Stella chuckled, she knew that Eun coming into the hotel only meant an emergency happened...
Mou didn't say anything but looked around. "Nio has gone to do something. He'll be busy for a day." Cerim gave the hint at what happened.
"Mmm, shall we go then?" Stella asked, she ignored what Nio was doing. But she already had an idea...
They all started to walk out of the hotel together. It was only when Tracy and Florence both were standing outside the cars that they realized that they shouldn't really follow them...
"Oh, Tracy. I forgot to mention something." Stella appeared to have remembered something as she turned to face her.
Tracy was all ears. Wondering what Stella would have to say to her.
"I am Zhou. I guess this Young Master should apologize for tricking you, just call my number if you want me." Stella's voice morphed into a male honey trap...
Tracy and Florence both stood stunned. Did they just hear that right?
Stella smiled at them as she opened the car door and let in Emily, she stepped in and closed the door behind her. Leaving two baffled managers.
