"Cameras! Rolling! Action!!" The voice echoed.
Liora stood at the end of the stairs, she was holding the phone to her ear. With her beautiful tall body and porcelain white skin, she had an ugly face. She was waiting for a call but never picked up.
In the office building at the emergency stairwell, there was no one there and only her. Being the figure of an employee who has a relationship with her co-worker who is the head of the division, she cannot freely go out together. So they made an appointment on the emergency stairs to eat together because if the company found out one of them would be deported to a branch company outside Java.
"Hello, why did you take so long to pick up my phone?" She asked in an irritated voice.
Liora stares at the camera as if looking at a wall, her sharp and charming eyes look so captivating from the camera. Until the crew holding the camera gulped at the sight of her beauty, they didn't expect the acting she did to be so real and as if it was.
In this part, she will be pushed by her man, who only wants to take revenge on her who had cut him off in the past. Liora as the main character at that time did not know that her current lover was an ugly man who she had rejected and humiliated in front of many people.
But when a man came and hugged Liora' body apologizing, he should have stopped first to replace it with a stand-in. But there was an error where Liora was pushed and fell from the stairs, her neck and head fell first. She suddenly fainted from shock, the crew went into a frenzy and everyone fell into a panic.
Liora' manager also helps, carrying the artist to the car to be immediately taken to the hospital for treatment.
****
Liora' manager was worried, she saw if the part of her torn forehead was covered with gauze that was given betadine. Some of the arms that were hit by the stairs were also scuffed and blue, the worst was the calf and right arm.
The bruises looked so real, she was constantly fussing and cursing the male artist who was Liora' co-star. Why does she miss-communication so much if, for example, the part when the character is pushed down the stairs is replaced by a stand-in, Liora doesn't want to injure her again. This is an order from Bastian not to make Liora accept the extreme part of the script.
Use stand-ins.
"I swear, don't let that stupid thing get to DNA either!! I'm annoyed, this is your wound enough to heal for a week. So I've also told the film crew, especially the director, that the script part of yours is postponed first, there's no way you'd want to play in this situation!"
"This is if you don't arrest me, I've already been sued because his actions were very deliberate. Or maybe you have an enemy in this industry that I don't know about? Tell me, who is it?!! Because things like this have happened often, ever since you became the lover of the honorable Mr. Bastian Bamantara and the billionaire of the capital city and was loved as the best husband but it turned out to be all bullshit!!"
Her manager is named Anne, she is her best friend in the past. Who finally meet again to work together in difficult times Liora becomes a top rookie artist, she is bullied and sometimes ridiculed for being so tacky in the world of the film industry. Worse, there used to be a crew who harassed her and some people didn't listen to the complaints, thinking that it was just an image.
She sued but was not strong enough because the crew was protected by the company and Liora was just a useless minor artist who was easier to kick than damaging the company's image. It was brought up to the mass media, but it was easy for the company to silence it because Liora fans were only a matter of hands, no support other than himself. It was a really hard time, for several months after the incident Liora never appeared again.
"It's been said that he didn't do it on purpose. Come on, the problem has also been resolved with the director. I can't think about it anymore, I still have a headache. If you keep talking, you'd better go home." Liora warned his manager.
She closed her eyes, the intense dizziness and this pain he could take it. It's just, now she's no longer ignored like she used to be when something bad happened when she shot a scene in a movie.
Anne who saw her friend choosing to sleep could only sigh, maybe this news will be published tomorrow. She had told Bastian that Liora had an accident on the set.
Liora suddenly thought again opened her eyes, moving her head towards Anne who was sitting on the long sofa by her side.
"Don't call Bastian, he has a wife and children. And he just came home too, so let it be. I warn you!" Liora warned her manager.
"Yeah, I didn't contact Bastian anyway." She lied.
Nodding slowly, she closed her eyes again, smiling awkwardly. But because Liora looked away for fear of being caught lying, did not see if that face now had relief in her heart.

The promise that Bastian made was a lie, that night when it was eight o'clock and Arsa also went to bed early after Bastian accompanied him by telling him about the storybook he had.
Sarah was preparing to sleep, she wore the thinnest dress and accentuated her attractive white skin to seduce her husband. They haven't been in touch for a month, enough to make their relationship strained now. Moreover, she heard the rumors and gossip on television to his socialite friends who said that there was a third person in her household. Of course, Sarah denies it and will not find out, let alone conduct an investigation that makes her even more anxious and hurt, it will make her mind go crazy.
She wanted to be happy, so there was no need for her to think about her husband's life outside the home. If she found out, it would probably only make her even more battered with injuries. After all, happiness comes from oneself, if she follows the opinions of netizens who consume her household life too much, she will only be led to every bad sentimental feeling.
Everyone, especially the part of the industry, would know about the state of his household.
Because Sarah is the daughter of one of the biggest artists, Mega Permata Arsy who also had a production house that was quite famous before the current years, she also used to be an actress who played short films on tv before then being a guest star and meeting with her husband, who was also the host of the show.
From that first meeting, then the two of them met again in several films that starred together. After becoming an artist and marrying Bastian, Sarah turned into a housewife and changed professions as a model for several brands as well as establishing her boutique which also contracted several models.
Hearing the bedroom door open, Sarah stood up to see her husband enter in a hurry and went straight to the walk-in closet. She walked over to ask.
