It's almost been a month since the maiden's press conference about the issue was over, Sumire has become busy with her new project.
During those days, Sumire spent her time studying the scripted lines alone in her home. She's trying to heal her heart and tends to forget the memory of her encounter with Mort. She goes to the KCA building and there, meets Trevor Gordeux. Sumire gets comfortable with him in just a short period of time. They meet from time to time, practice together with their lines and unexpectedly, a bond of friendship quickly forms between them. Sumire describes him as a gentleman, kind-hearted, and had a heart made out of gold. Trevor secretly helps the stray animals which Sumire recently found out. They go together to a pet shop disguised and surprisingly they share the same pet favorite: Cat. He also has various charities to help seniors and kids who have a grave illnesses. Sometimes, Trevor and Sumire are spotted together when they have an important event to attend. The maiden actually kept her promise not to return to the MDA building.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the production team: the staffs, producers, and directors were busy with the ongoing taping. They are currently on the set and Sumire has a kissing scene right now with Trevor, the male lead of the romance drama series "Beauty is a Crime".
The staff around were thrilled with the next romantic scene and had a hard time restraining themselves from screaming while watching their acting. The kissing scene of Sumire and Trevor that everyone in the set obviously looking forward to is coming soon.
"Gosh, they look good together!"
"I agree."
"I wish I was in her place."
The majority of the production team adores the onscreen love team. The pair had a strong chemistry. Both ooze the same intensity of charm and mystique. Everyone in the place knows this project will be a big hit and most popular in the world of cinema. They can no longer wait to release it to the public. In their eyes, Sumire and Trevor are the ideal pair. Trevor had a princely vibe. He had a pair of turquoise green, messy dark-brown curly hair. He stood six-feet-zero and had a body of an athlete. Many women across the world had wished to be his princess!
Cameras, lighting, props, and other special effects have been set up to capture the beautiful detail in the story that the actors will about to do. Sumire and Trevor were now in the center, and the next intimate scene is currently being done.
Trevor cupped Sumire's face and looked at her deeply and intimately. They were in a darkened room. Trevor took off his upper garment and his muscular body appeared in the maiden's eyes. Trevor's face was covered in fake blood and scratches on his body. Sumire slowly traces his face down to his masculine body with her finger and looks lovingly in his eyes.
Trevor lifted the maiden and carries her towards the king-size bed and laid Sumire there. He quickly placed himself on top of her.
"This is where I want you, Mirena," Trevor uttered in a husky tone, and slowly, he leaned closer to Sumire's face, teasing down her cheeks with his pointed nose. It was intense! Their lips were just inches away.
"Dmi ... tru ..."
Sumire said in her lines with her erotic ragged breath. Trevor seal the remaining space between them and was about to kiss her madly when...
"Cut!"
Feeling elated, the other staff member around almost fainted due to the flutter of excitement but the exhilarating feeling they had quickly faded when the Head director interrupted which stopped Sumire and Trevor from doing the scene. Their noses were affectionately met and her hands wrapped on his neck.
The murmur of disappointment and frustration felt by the production staff filled the air when the director stopped the shooting. Trevor gently pulled Sumire up on the bed and at the same time stood up. Together, they walked into the lighted area of the set.
Everyone gathers in one place except Sumire, Trevor, and their managers behind the crowd, standing. Shun, Trevor's manager handed Sumire and Trevor a bottle of water while Eiryss fixed Sumire's stuff.
The Head Director faked a cough to get their attention before he spoke. Everyone calmed down and looked in his direction.
"We're going to have a short break. The biggest investor of KCA entertainment has arrived," said the Head Director as the staff around started whispering again.
"In a minute he will be here in the studio to see the progress of the project." He added that the rumors loudened and judgment have intensified.
"Since he is the company's biggest investor, I can say, he is the fattest and ugliest one."
Whispered one of the staff and shrugged off. They are used to seeing investors who are obese and corrupted dirty old men who have thirst for money and have hidden fetishes. They are also aware that one of the fastest ways to make a big name in the entertainment world is to stick with rude, immoral investors and satisfy their worldly pleasure, especially the producers and directors.
Everyone immediately look at Victoria's place who was now grooming herself. Their eyes filled with contempt.
"She is pathetic."
"What a low-life."
"Gold digger..."
"Social climber..."
"SLUT."
Series of undisguised disdain whispers to one particular actress, Victoria. They were staring at her with a judgment look in their eyes. Victoria just raised an eyebrow and ignored them. She is used to such accusations but she did not pay attention to them anymore. To her, what she did was a strategy.
'My beauty and talent are not enough to enter the entertainment world if I don't have money or connection.' Victoria said inside her mind once rolled her eyes at them.
The crowd was still talking about the Big visitor. Some were skeptical at the sudden visit of the company's top investor in the place.
"Why would the biggest investor come here? Maybe they'll sow lewdness in here again?" Asked a production team member in an annoyed tone and drank the bottle of water she carried.
"I don't know. Probably yes. That's the only reason they came here. To seek an actor to be their next prey using the common reason to check out the progress of the shooting." Said the person the obvious, standing next to her and just shrugged.
"Yeah, you'll just see someone in the corner is being harassed." Another staff agrees with them.
Negative rumors are still circulating around waiting for the alleged biggest investor to come to their site. The main lead remains unbothered behind them. Trevor turned to Sumire standing next to him who was having her hair done in a ponytail.
"Let's have a sit," Trevor said gently once pulling the chair closer to Sumire.
"Thank you." Sumire humbly thanked him as she blushed slightly. 'I am just an ordinary fan who can't help but be thrilled when sitting next to your idol, iiiiihhhh !!!!' Sumire squealed inside her mind. She smiled, acts modestly, and remains professional, contrary to what she truly felt. She wanted to freak out!
"This is the first time the biggest investor has shown up," Eiryss said who had just arrived after getting Sumire's script. She was standing next to the maiden while looking ahead and crossed her arms on her chest.
"I'm not interested." Sumire uninterestingly said. Trevor noticed the bead of sweat forming on Sumire's forehead. The gentleman took something from his pocket.
Sumire was surprised when a handkerchief landed on her forehead. It was Trevor gently wiping her sweat off. "You look messy," said the young man which blushed Sumire intensely.
"Thanks. Let me." Embarrassed, Sumire said and took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her face down to her revealed neck. 'The manly scent of his handkerchief...is so damn addicting... iiiihhhh !!! '
Eiryss, on the other hand, wasn't aware of Sumire's heavy blushing. Her eyes remain darted in the front of the murmuring crowd.
"I'm just curious how will he look like. Maybe he looks the same with all other investors who sucks and rotten from the inside and out."
Eiryss said she was still slightly cringed at the thought. Similar to the rumors from the staffs, she agreed with them. Most of the investors who pretend to be visiting the set have a dark, twisted mind and are usually perverts. Eiryss had a keen sense. She will know right away if a certain person is good or bad inside. But none of them succeeded or attempted to approach Sumire. Just one piercing glance at the maiden, they will be put in their rightful places.
Shun, Trevor's handsome manager suddenly butts in. "Do you have a clue, Sir Trevor? Have you already seen him?" he asked.
"No," Trevor answered.
After a few minutes, the crowd suddenly fell silent and the Head Director spoke, "Everyone, meet Engr. Aslanov, the top magnate of KCA entertainment company."
A gorgeous hunk, magnetic man entered that stunned and left everyone dumbfounded in the place. His eyes glimmered in emerald green looking for a specific person and immediately found her sitting next to a handsome man. Mort was wearing a black trenchcoat. He wore it like a professional hot model. Hair was sexily disheveled with a darkened frown face. He stood next to the Head Director emanating an air of dominance and dangerous aura, tall and having a massive body frame than anyone else in the room. His presence speaks menace, power, and authority.
"Where is he?" The assistant director asked and looked around. They are used to the investors who were introduced in the middle of the shooting being a scummy douche bag and ugly.
"He is the investor." The Head director said that everyone looked up at the huge man in the room with his good looks could not be compared to any rank handsome men in the world. He was like a beauty emerge out from the painting!
They've seen celebrities in person from various entertainment companies every day but they have never seen this caliber of beauty before. He looks ethereal and almost unworldly! He was dangerously cold and scorching hot at the same time.
"Oh, God! Am I in heaven or hell?"
"He is such a hunk!"
"I want to bear his child even if it's a dozen more!"
"So handsome!"
Their nose bleeds just by looking at him. Some women can't help but drool, bit their lips, and swoon over at his presence. The air quickly filled with praises and adoration. They couldn't help but admire this godly hunk who had ascended from the underworld and dwell in their set. This is such a rare phenomenon!
"What is he doing here?" Sumire uttered in a low tone under her breath. But, out of all the questions she wanted to ask, only one she had given an answer and confirmation.
"Now I know why he saved me that day from my abductors," a glint of sadness flashed into her eyes and shoulders defeatedly dropped off. "He's the fucking Boss and I'm his moneymaker."
Sumire said as she could feel the pain twist her heart. But that pain vanished and was replaced by jealousy when Victoria approached Mort in the speed of light. Busts bouncing, they can almost see her nipples noticeable in the revealing clothes she was wearing.
"I didn't know that Hirudinea can crawl so fast these days," Sumire whispered to herself looking at Victoria in disgust from head to toe as Trevor next to her, chuckled.
"That is really mean," Trevor said still chuckling at the maiden's not-so-unusual actions. The actor had already witnessed Sumire's sharp-tongue, fierce, and savagery against Victoria's pretentious nature. They always come clashed but Victoria never wins against her. They weren't called archenemy in the KCA entertainment for no reason.
"Everybody knows, right?" Sumire added and Trevor thumbs up with her in agreement.
The contemptuous look of the staffs around had already pierced Victoria but the second lead actress just ignored them once flashed a flirtatious smile as she approached the hunk in a black trenchcoat.
"Engr. Aslanov, we meet again." Victoria said in a flirty tone. The actress clings like a gecko to Mort's right arm and rubs her mountainous busts against him trying to bewitch the man.
"Who are you?" Mort asked and emotionlessly look down the actress made the staffs around burst into a chuckle. It was the first time Victoria had been humiliated by an investor. That only means one thing: her scummy charms didn't work on him.
"Wow, that really hurts."
"She's truly shameless!"
"What a self-proclaimed and utterly loser."
Waves of insults and scorn reigned in the air, making Victoria's face redden with anger. She glared at the group of female staff and then looked up at Mort with forced a smile.
"I am Victoria Scarlet, dear." Victoria, on the other hand, replied that she was trying to fight the embarrassment cast upon her.
"Ah, right. The slut, social climber, gold digger, leech, and pathetic bitch." Mort said bluntly. His face was still stoic and expressionless.
All the blood rushed to Victoria's face. She was boiling in anger but everyone's attention was diverted when Sumire suddenly laughed thunderously and unconsciously tap on Trevor's shoulder strongly one after another. Her poise and ladylike elegance she had were completely gone in a trace.
She even had a tear at the side of her eyes out from laughing!
"I never thought you remembered accurately what I said before. I always had in mind you never listen to the nonsensical things I muttered that day. Does that mean, you're interested in me?"
