Just as Alice finished her make-up, a crew came to tell them to get out on set as soon as the big CEO was there.
The two sisters of different blood walked side by side. Dena couldn't wait any longer to ask Alice about what had annoyed her earlier.
"I know why did you get selected and play this ad. It's because of Nathael's request, isn't it? How close is your relationship that Nathael can insult me like before, and I'm sure you can hear that too," said Dena in a disdainful tone?
It's not Dena when she talks to Alice, not in a disdainful and hurtful tone.
But it didn't matter, Alice's ears seemed to have been programmed to endure Dena's sneer.
"If you feel that what you hear is true and it makes you happy, well, believe it! After all, who are you to interfere in my personal affairs, huh?" Alice replied no less mockingly and made Dena even angrier.
However, she still couldn't rudely vent her anger this time.
After returning from abroad, Dena feels that Alice is not the innocent and stupid girl who can be abused like she used to be. So, she felt that with just words and cunning tactics, Alice would lose to her.
"Of course, I don't need to know the extent of your relationship with that artist. After all, it's not new when you use your body to seduce men because that's what you're good at," Dena's sneer pierced Alice's ears and heart this time.
Alice wanted to slap the cheap woman in the face in front of her. However, it was impossible at a time like this. Because many people and in the end, she still lost because Dena took advantage of the situation with her prestige in the Wing being so big.
'Okay, let's play casually!' said Alice in her heart with a sly smile.
"Whatever! I don't blame you for thinking that way. Because you little brain is only useful for storing dirt rather than being used for thinking! You won't be able to see me happy in the slightest and I also have no power to change your mind. So, let's just say I sold myself to Nael to get this role in your mind. Are you satisfied?" she said to Dena who was flabbergasted at Alice's innocent words.
Until she was left behind by Alice's steps who had already arrived at the shooting area and immediately took a seat next to Nathael.
***
Sean's eyes fell on a beautiful and sweet woman who had just arrived at the shooting area. The dress she wore was perfect for her slender body, with natural makeup that made her appearance even more beautiful.
So, what's the problem?
Nothing was wrong except for Sean's mind running around somewhere. His blood boils even more as Alice smiles from afar as she bows her head slightly in gratitude. And don't forget the little bonus.
Alice winked one eye with a flirtatious smile at Sean which of course made Sean very happy.
Is he happy? Definitely. Even without being ordered, his lovebird woke up from his sleep after he had struggled to sleep because he had been near Alice since morning.
However, the fun didn't last long. When Alice took a seat next to Nathael, Sean knew that Nathael was Alice's ex-lover. Followed by Dena who also took a position beside Nael, until Nathael was in the middle of the two women.
Sean couldn't concentrate on the data in his hands anymore, because he noticed Alice who seemed to be chatting intimately with Nathael next to him, and it was visible in front of him.
After he studied the data and the feasibility of the ad, and the players who would play it were worthy, Sean realized that he couldn't do much. But maybe he could do something to keep Alice away from Nathanael.
"Director, can the shooting of this commercial be completed in one day?"
Sean's question that he threw at the director not only made the director dumbfounded, even everyone's attention was now on Sean.
"H-how can we do it, Mr. CEO? The calculation of shooting for three days is already very critical to accept. How can we do it in one day? Not to mention our artists will be exhausted," the director replied to him.
"Don't the actors already have high flying hours? It shouldn't be a problem if they act out just three minutes of commercials a day. Isn't that right, Mr. Nathael Verlon?" Sean denied to the director and turned the question to Nael.
The aura of competition was visible to Alice. Nathael who didn't know that Sean had a crush on Alice, also felt the thick deadly aura from the young CEO. But, for what? Who knows, Nael was lazy to think about it.
"I can, as long as the pay is commensurate with my hard work. But I ask not to overdo the female artists, if they can't afford it or are tired, let us continue tomorrow. At least two days is too short for a big advertisement like this," replied Nathael calmly after much thought.
"I agree!" said Sean briefly. However, the director didn't seem calm. So Sean asked again, "What else are you thinking? Immediately start shooting. I'll leave here so you don't feel awkward," asked Sean as he said he was going.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. CEO. If Nathael and Dena, I don't need to doubt their flight hours. But Alice? Alice is a new artist who has never acted before. We are afraid that we will not be able to fulfill the CEO's request this time," replied the director, a little scared.
It was natural for the director to hesitate to accept Sean's request. Because he had never seen Alice act. However, he was sure that Alice would be able to act well after testing her at the audition yesterday. And now the problem is that Alice's dreaded flight hours can't keep up with the professionalism of Nathael and Dena.
"Master Director underestimates Alice too much. At the university where we study, every main role must be played by Alice. Because, there's nothing like Alice's totality in acting. I trust that Alice won't be tired or confused to keep up with us later," Nathael argued and defended Alice.
"So why don't we just take a look at Miss Alice's abilities?" Sean immediately cut in.
"Because Mr. Nathael has explained and agreed. And I think Miss Dena is a Brand Ambassador Wing and there is no need to doubt her professionalism,"
"So, everyone has agreed and this shooting must be finished today. And give double pay for all the crew involved. I'm done!" Sean said one last time before leaving the meeting.
'What is he thinking? Why rashly change the shooting time to this short?' Alice asked herself. Not that she wouldn't be able to shoot all day, but that Sean's decision seemed odd to Alice.
"Alice, why do I feel like the young CEO was looking at me like I owe him a lot?" Nael asked Alice.
"How do I know? It's none of my business. Besides, how do I know if you have a problem with him or not? But it's true, he wasn't like that, why did he change expressions so quickly? What a freak!" muttered Alice who was lost in her thoughts, without realizing that Nael was still next to her listening to her talk about Sean.
"He? Who is he? That arrogant CEO earlier? You know him?" successive questions left Nael's mouth in astonishment. And the many questions made Alice realize the carelessness of her mouth and mind.
"Everyone knows who he is, who doesn't know Sean Garendra? He's a big CEO and I'm just an ordinary girl just starting a career here. How could I not know him?" Alice answered Nael's question with a question as well.
"How did I know? So who is the man you were muttering about earlier just heard your complaint just now? So, isn't he the person you were talking about earlier?" Nael asked again.
"Never mind Nael, don't think about it. Let's just start shooting. Let's see, Dena has started reading the script, let's go there too!" said Alice without explaining Nael's question to her.
Immediately, they enter into appreciation according to their respective roles. In the ad, Dena plays a beautiful village girl, but her beauty does not radiate because her skin looks dull.
She has a girlfriend played by Nathael who is attracted to a beautiful girl who has just come between them played by Alice.
Of course, men's eyes always want to see beauty. The man's heart stabbed at the role Alice played and left Dena in a slump. When Dena was sad, her eyes saw a large billboard containing pictures of beauty soaps, which seemed to make beauty radiate perfectly when wearing them.
Filming continued with the scene where Dena took a bath wrapped in a towel using the soap she saw earlier. And after that, her appearance instantly changed to a beautiful one. Her face that was not ugly turned beautiful, along with better clothes, made her appearance elegant and charismatic.
The eyes of every man she passed, immediately looked and continued to follow Dena along the way, and coincidentally Dena also passed her lover, played by Nael, who was seen seducing Alice with a bouquet in hand. Nael then turned his attention to the beautiful girl who turned out to be Dena, the lover he left behind.
Without thinking, the man also mingled with the other men who also followed in Dena's footsteps, leaving Alice alone crying.
Until when Alice walked in, her eyes also sparkled when she saw the large billboard containing the beauty soap that Dena had used earlier. And the ad ends…
"Cut! Perfect!"
