Chapter 62 - The Scene Starts Now! (Part - 2)
"Caixia, wear this outfit. The next seen is when the three male leads play in the baseball ground together and you have to act aloof and ignore them so as to gain their attention," said the assistant of Jeremy.
Caixia took the outfit and looked over it as if observing its size silently.
It's quite small, do I really have to cheer for them in this small outfit!
"What about Jeremy? Is she not going to the hospital?" asked Caixia.
Her assistant looked back at Jeremy who was covering her face with a scarf, her forehead was still showing off the pimples and she smiled sadly, her eyelids down.
"She has taken her medicine but since she is anxious about your acting, she refuses to go to the hospital before the shooting ends," she said.
Caixia nodded as she already knew that Jeremy had a stubborn personality but that's, too, what made her succeed in her career.
She took a deep breath and smiled, "Then I will change it," said Caixia and turned back.
Jeremy assistant stopped her and hesitantly said, "I will help you with your hair, since once the two male lead comes back, the shooting will quickly start, so we need to quickly prepare you," she said and glanced at Jeremy.
She was worried because of Jeremy condition and doesn't wanted to leave her but at the other hand, she also needed to make sure that Caixia dress and hair is fully prepared.
"Why are you worrying? You should stay here and as for the hair, the hairdresser will help me with it," replied Caixia and turned back toward the small building were the actor and actress were getting readied.
The building was properly cleaned just for the actress use and all the professional hair dresser and makeup artist were there to help others get ready without any trouble.
Eh! It would be troublesome if she kept staring like that. Because of Si-ting even I have started to imagine her as a hedgehog, she should better put a nice wig or the whole movie will turn into a hedgehog love rather then True love.
Caixia wondered as she saw Lucy after getting out of the changing room. As she sat on the table to get her hair done by the hairdresser, Lucy sat on the chair beside her and caressed her skin while looking at the half bodied mirror.
"Its really hard to act, Caixia, are you really sure that you can substitute sister Jeremy and give it a perfect shot," Lucy said in hope that she could scare away Caixia.
"Even I was having a hard time when director told me to take the female lead role, so I know that you must be nervous," she again said after getting no reply from Caixia.
'Again! How can she ignore me when I am being so nice to her? If she continues to act like this, then I won't mind giving her a hard time which is my greatest skill,' Lucy thought after getting no reply from Caixia continuously.
The professional hair dresser who was wearing a rock hair herself, came while sucking on a lollipop and glanced at Caixia while frowning. She was looking down at Caixia since she also hated Jeremy but because Jeremy didn't looked like an easy target to her, she went to frown over Caixia.
She looked at Lucy and smiled, "Then I will do your hair first". Caixia eyebrows become furrowed since she could see through the hair dresser vicious thoughts who obviously wanted to mess with Caixia even though she knew that Caixia was needed first during the shooting.
"No, do mine! The director asked me to come earlier for the first scene not her, and moreover it will take longer if you did hers cause you will need to put a wig on her zig zag hair," said Caixia bluntly.
Lucy gritted her teeth after hearing words of insult toward her hair. The hair dresser who heard it hid her laughter and said, "How can it be! You are just a substitute who is soon going to lose even that position of yours, so I don't see a need to dress your hair when I know about it. Rather, Ms. Lucy should be the one who needs my help more".
Caixia sighed and glared at her, soon her smile turned into a smirk and she got up from the seat and said, "Of course, Ms. Lucy needs it more after all, her hedgehog hair and rough skin is quite hard to hide, so do your best to please the second female lead because the main will always be the one and only Ms. Jeremy".
Lucy furiously got up from her chair while glaring her, her fist clenched but she didn't made any remarks since there was many people whose eyes and ears were stuck at them and she would have lost her idol image if said something wrong.
'Mess it up all you want, Lin Caixia, cause it will indirectly affect Jeremy who foolishly took you as her substitute!' Lucy thought while smirking evilly.
Yeah, Lucy! Just keep feeling nice by that thought of yours cause soon there will be left nothing to smile for you.
Caixia left without getting her hair or make done. 15 minutes later when the shooting was about to start and the two male lead were waiting for the female lead and the second female lead.
Lucy came while running, "Have you seen, Jeremy's substitute? I can't seem to find her, and I am worried that she might have ran away because of being nervous".
Jeremy gasped and bit her nails, 'What could have happened? Don't tell me that Lucy have used some kind of tricks against Caixia just like she did to me".
While Jeremy was worrying, Lucy was confidently telling everyone that Caixia ran away out of fear. 'Huh! She left without doing her hair and makeup and didn't returned back to get it done. She is not even here, so of course she ran away after bragging!' Lucy thought as she smirked.
Hiding her laugh, she made a sad face and elegantly walked toward Jeremy. The mini skirt which was cashew in color and a similar shirt with two color full tuft made her look cute.
She was wearing a long golden color hair which similar to Jeremy real hair color.
"Jeremy, I feel really bad because even though I tried to cheer Caixia, still she escaped. I think she was not confident and walked away because she feared about ruining her image after acting pathetically," said Lucy as she brushed through her golden hair.
Jeremy felt irritated because everyone could only see her sincere side but not her real self which was demeaning her.
'She intentionally wore a golden wig and told others that Caixia is not here so as to get the main role directly…. But, where is Caixia and what about Si-ting,' Jeremy wandered as she stared here and there ignoring Lucy.
"Who is that substitute? If she is not here then give the role to Ms. Lucy," said the male lead while fuming.
His glistening grey hair blinded others and the head band he wore as a fancy during the shooting in the base ball ground gave him a cool look. Not sharp but big peachy eyes and a little makeup gave him a heroic look.
"Jodan! You should have a little patience," said Wei-Lin who is the second male lead of the movie.
"Then we should give this role to Ms. Lucy," Director Wan said after judging the situation.
Lucy smiled evilly in her heart but appeared sad in front of others.
Jeremy clenched her fist and bit her lips. She was fumed since she lost to Lucy and turned back.
"Since it's like this, then I will be going now!" said Jeremy.
"Not at all, there is no need for you to go because I need you right now," Caixia said as she walked toward the set.
She came from a different direction and not from the small building where actress was getting readied. Her purple hair was made into a pony tail and a little make up to give her a nice look and cover her dark bangs.
The dress was similar to Lucy since they both were going to cheer for the main leads together.
"She looks.. dashing and hot!" Jodan mumbled while being mesmerized by her presence.
"Why are you so late, Caixia? We are shooting here not playing," the director scolded her while bashing the script on his other hand.
"Because Ms. Lucy desperately wanted to put the golden hair on her head, the hairdresser readied her first rather then me even though they knew that my scene comes first. So, I asked Si-ting to help me with my hair and makeup and that's why I am late," replied Caixia.
Si-ting who was standing behind her showed his teeth as he laughed.
Lucy panicked and looked around at others who were confused by the situation.
To cover her lie, she again lied, "What are you saying, Caixia? You told me to get ready first and walked out saying that you will be getting ready by someone else help, so why are you blaming me?".
Jeremy smirked and stepped forward, "So, you knew that Caixia was going out for asking someone else help yet you told everyone that she ran away.. I don't understand your words that change more faster then the weather".
