Chapter 63 - What A Dramatic Kiss!
Lucy left stuck in the middle of her lie and bit her nails while thinking of what to do.
'This bit*h, why did she come back again! If not for her, I would have taken the role and now I am in trouble'.
"Sob.. sob.. I am sorry, sister Jeremy! It slipped out from my mind and I … and I thought that Caixia ran away," Lucy said to cover her another lie.
"Oh, my! Then it must have slipped your mind, too, that you were told to wear a brown wig rather then golden, isn't it?" said Caixia bluntly and sighed.
Lucy looked around but got only suspicious and menace gaze, even her fans were gossiping about her and she gritted her teeth while tugging her skirt tightly. She, who only wished for fame was now getting hate rather then love and her fame was dropping down.
"I.. I thought that since you ran away then…" said Lucy hesitantly and started to cry to get others sympathy.
Jeremy sighed while Lucy rubbed her ears after getting annoyed.
"Its ok, Lucy! Go and get your makeup done again since it has been ruined," Director Wan said while shaking his head in dismay. He knew that Lucy was causing trouble but for him, shooting comes first and he passed the topic without giving it much a thought.
"But director, its all a misunderstanding," Lucy said.
Since director Wan didn't wanted the shooting to be delayed further, he asked Lucy to go and do her makeup again so as to get rid of her messy sobbing.
Caixia looked toward Jodan and walked forward.
'Oh, my gosh! The beauty is presenting herself to me,' his heart beat increased as he saw Caixia approaching him, 'After all, I am so handsome, so there is no way she would not think of me'.
His romantic imagination soon broke apart as she passed by him and stood in front of Wei-Lin.
'What!!! What's going on between them? Are they in relationship?' Jodan gasped.
Neither Wei-Lin had the idea that Caixia was the substitute, nor, Caixia had the idea that Wei-Lin was the second male lead.
I totally forget that he is also a rising star in movie world… hah! I could have asked him to become the ambassador but.. its better with Jeremy in many ways.
"I didn't knew that you are starring in this movie, too," said Caixia with a faint smile.
He nodded, "Neither I knew that you are the substitute, but can you do the act?" he asked.
In Caixia hands, she was given her script which was left open.
"Its ok, I don't have much of a scene for this week, thanks to the director or it would have been a trouble," Caixia said with a smile and glanced back.
She looked back because she felt a creepy stare pointing toward her and it really made her annoyed.
I knew that someone was staring me but why him? And I don't even know who he is? He is the male lead, so he might be thinking of practicing together but I don't see any scene to practice with him!
Jodan who was staring her worriedly as if his girlfriend was being taken away by someone else, was thinking of a way to confront Wei-Lin and Caixia, and find out their relationship.
'I am the male lead, but why do I feel that the female lead is more attracted to the second male lead!' he wondered while pouting.
Gathering his courage, he walked toward them and flinched as he saw Caixia staring him.
"I.. um.. a.. I am..," he hesitated as he was nervous and laughed without any reason.
Caixia and Wei-Lin was blankly staring him and thinking about his weird behavior.
"l am Lin Caixia, its nice to meet you," said Caixia aloofly.
He felt weirdly familiar with that name since he was a friend of Wei-Lin and knew many things related to him, but it was getting hard for him to remember when he was in front of his beauty.
"Caixia! Why does I feel the name similar for some reason," he wandered but spoke it loud.
Wei-Lin smirked and said, "She is my cousin. You might have already forgotten about it, but she is the cousin I wanted you to meet".
Caixia looked at him and glanced at Jodan bright smile which lit up after hearing that Caixia was his cousin. Soon the atmosphere around him turned into a romantic flowery ones. It felt as if he was covered with red roses petals.
Before he could speak with her, she excused herself after Jeremy called for her.
Jodan who was head over heels for Caixia went to meet Director and whispered something in his ears with a lewd smile.
Meanwhile the shooting was going on, Wang Shiwei together with Daoming and Secretary Kim was walking in the college campus near the place where Caixia while sitting, tried to hack his computer.
"Are you sure that this is the place where the hacker was earlier?" Wang Shiwei asked.
Daoming nodded confidently but what bothered him was, that there were so many students in the college, that he felt hard of finding one student who was the real hacker.
"No one is here? Where are all of them?" Wang Shiwei asked.
Daoming thought for a while and took out his cell phone, "There is a shooting going on in the college, so all the students must be hovering around the set".
Suddenly he gasped while putting his hand on his mouth and gulped as he looked at Wang Shiwei curious eyes.
He smiled awkwardly and put his smart phone back to where it was.
"Wait! What are you hiding? Show me quickly," Wang Shiwei said and frowned after looking at his idiotic expression.
"The social media is going all hot by some spicy news. Ms. Caixia is trending right now while Ms. Lucy have created a scandal for herself," Daoming replied.
Wang Shiwei who couldn't remember the person by the name 'Lucy', tried to remember it.
"Isn't, she the one who is being backed by my cousin! She even came to meet me and signed a contract with our company, and now she is already creating a scandal!" he said coldly, his eyebrows twitching.
Daoming understood that his boss is being irritated by a troublesome woman name and he nodded but soon shut his mouth after falling a chill down his spines.
"A kiss scene! But you never informed me that there is a kiss scene in it, too," said Caixia while frowning and sighed.
Jeremy smiled nervously and glanced at Wei-Lin who was worried about Caixia. Wei-Lin was standing beside Jeremy while Caixia was standing opposite to them.
"You did great in the first two scenes, Caixia. So if you don't want to do the kiss scene, then I can talk to Director Wan personally after all he included this scene out of nowhere, but don't think of leaving the shooting in the mid," said Wei-Lin and looked at Jeremy with his affectionate gaze.
Tsk! This lovelorn! His gaze seemed to be very affectionate as if he have fallen for her from a long time ago but still nothing changed. If he is going to be like this, then it will be more better to confess quickly.
"Oh, my! But director Wan said that since this drama is all about romance, Caixia can only pass his examination after she does the kiss scene perfectly," said Lucy as she came from behind Caixia.
Caixia glanced at Lucy and sighed.
I think that all the roles she have got until now was by snatching from other lead roles and even the allergy reaction which happened to Jeremy seemed to be her plan, too. Aside from her pretty face and tricks, she have got nothing more and about her backer, I wander who is behind her.
Jeremy glared at Lucy but before she parted her lips to throw some words on her, Caixia smirked and grabbed their attention.
'What's with her? Why is she smiling even though I can see that she doesn't wish to kiss Jodan! Is she gone crazy or is she pretending just to show up in front of me' Lucy bit her lips as she thought.
"Its ok! I don't have any problem with the kissing scene at all," said Caixia with a smile but dissing Lucy inside her heart.
"How can that be! I heard that you didn't wanted to do the kissing scene… but I can understand since you want to help Jeremy desperately," said Lucy.
Her words made Jeremy feel like she was burdening Caixia and she bit her lips while looking down, her eyes filled with guilt.
Wei-Lin become worried and glared at Lucy.
Caixia who was observing everyone expression felt helpless and sighed, "Its just a kissing scene, What's so big about it? Moreover, the guy is handsome and young so I don't mind tasting that new flower a little".
Caixia big smile won in front of Lucy and she lost in the battle.
So, including a kiss scene was her trick. How stupid of her, to think that I would be bothered by it.
"Hurry up, everyone. Take your position," Director wan shouted as he fixed his cap.
Jeremy who was worried about Caixia, was scratching her hands.. She was afraid that Caixia might not have any experience or she might be forcing herself to do it.
