"It looks good to me too," added Mian.
Selene red hard at the screen, hoping for a mistake so she would have to take another shot. She didn’t want to go home early and face Xavier after what they’d donest night, even though it was nothing much.
She could feel the stare of her colleagues, waiting for her response.
Sighing, she said, "Alright then. It looks good too." And that was the wrap for the day.
Selene checked the time; it was only 2 pm. Her shoot at Klerene would start at 4 pm and end at 6 pm. Selene decided to rest a bit. They’d been shooting nonstop for the past 9 hours.
"Here." Kael handed her some snacks. "I thought you might be hungry since we’ve been busy since morning," he added.
Selene thanked him and took the snacks from his hands.
"Your boyfriend isn’ting to pick you up today?" Kael asked as he took a seat beside her.
"Oh... My boyfriend doesn’t pick me up. I go home by myself," she replied, taking a big bite of her snack and chewing it as if her life depended on it.
Kael frowned slightly at her response.
"I just noticed you don’t have any bodyguards. Don’t you think that’s too risky? You are already gaining poprity every minute. You could have crazy fans stalking you," he said with a hint of concern in his tone.
Selene shook her head. "They won’t be able to do anything to me. Remember I beat up that thief?" Selene made a gesture with her hand, trying to show Kael her biceps which earned her augh from him. "I can beat up anyone, including you." Kael erupted in a much biggerughter at Selene’s sarcasm.
"Sure you can," he responded. "But why doesn’t Xavier pick you up though? Is he always busy at work?"
Selene smiled at Kael, wondering why he was suddenly interested in her rtionship with Xavier. They were mutual friends indeed, and his question seemed harmless between normal friends. But remembering his re from the first day they met, she had to keep her guard up every time.
"Yes, he’s busy." Her reply was short and urate. Judging from how she continued snacking, Kael could tell she was done talking.
’Why did Kiel have to put me in a tight position like this? What else should I ask her now?’ He wondered.
"How did Xavier ask you out?" He blurted out before he could stop himself, which got Selene to choke on her drink.
"What?" She asked, raising an eyebrow in question.
"I know it must be too much to ask..." he drawled, feeling awkward.
’This is your fault, Kiel."
"I mean, I’m only curious."
Selene stared at Kael,pletely confused by his question.
"It’s okay if you don’t answer."
Selene had no idea how to reply to him, only because Xavier wasn’t her boyfriend in the first ce. They were married, identally. She wasn’t going to tell him that. In a situation like this, Selene diverted the question with another question.
"Why do you ask? Is there someone you are nning on asking out?"
Kael immediately tore his gaze on her, settling it on other people who were walking around the set. Selene didn’t fail to notice the soft rosy hue that formed on his cheeks.
"So there’s someone you want to ask out? Who’s it?" She asked.
"There’s no one," he responded immediately, standing up and excusing himself to go to the restroom when a sh of a girl’s image with brown hair and brown eyes, who always came with Selene’s makeup artist shed in his mind.
Selene stared at Kael’s back, satisfied with her result. But she couldn’t help but be curious about who Kael had a crush on.
She shrugged, deemed it as none of her business, and continued to snack.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket. She fetched it out to see it was a text from Leo. Immediately she opened it and stared at the image of the file he sent with eyes widened in shock.
She stared at the figures lined up. It was another amount of money that had gone missing again.
"15 million dors? Is he nning on making thepany go bankrupt soon?" She wondered.
She read the text attached to the message.
"Robert is sick?" She mumbled in confusion.
