24 Filming for the drama 2

Mimi's hut.

Mimi looked at Mikael's hut which was located a distance away and asked her assistant. ''Ailee, did you find out what they spoke about this morning?''

Ailee shook her head. ''No, but it seemed Mr. Sun said something hurtful to Miss Alice because she didn't even touch the food and went out.''

Mimi had asked her assistant, Ailee to spy on Mikael and Alice at the restaurant after they left the set. She wanted to find out whatever was going on between them.

But now that she heard from her assistant that Alice had left the restaurant without eating, her mood was suddenly lifted up and she smiled. ''Really? It's that so?'' She raised her left brow proudly.

Ailee looked at Mikael and started to curry favour with Mimi. ''It must have been about you. Maybe Mr. Sun took her to the restaurant to warn her against messing with you, which is why she left without eating. Mr. Sun might look cold but I think he has a soft spot for you, Miss.''

Mimi looked at Mikael busy reading his script and smiled as she pushed back her hair that was falling on her face. ''Mikael Sun did that? Well, it could be true. He sent his assistant to get me a new dress and even took my side when Alice messed with me. Why is he acting so shy and cute? Could it be that he doesn't want others to find out that he has a soft spot for me hence his distance?"

''Nobody fits well with Mr. Sun than you, Miss. Mr. Sun is yours only. Only you deserve a man as handsome and refined like Mr. Sun''

Mimi nodded her head in agreement. ''Actually, going out with him will help me to get Natalie begging at my feet. He is her brother in law and I heard they don't get along. By the time Mikael and I become official, Natalie will be pleading with me to spare her life'' the thought alone made Mimi to envision the scene in her head.

''That' right!'' Ailee saw Mikael standing up to meet Director Zou who had walked over to him and turned to Mimi. ''Director Zou is here, Mr. Sun is going over to say hi''

Mimi Song smiled and stood up proudly with elegance. ''I will go and say hello to him.''

Mikael's hut.

Mikael's assistant, Brian whispered something to Mikael and he turned to see Mimi approaching them.

''You are here so early; your shoot is not up until the first five scenes.'' Director Zou said to Mikael.

''I came to go through my script and also watch how the shooting will be going on. today's scenes are the most important part of the drama; I want to see how the two female leads will pull through.''

''That is true. Today's scenes are the parts that will be taken to make the trailer. It is an honour to have Mr. Sun watch over us during this time.'' Mimi said as she stood beside Mikael.

''Mimi is here already?'' Director Zou smiled and hugged her.

''Of course, I have to be here early since I need to study the mood of the environment'' Mimi replied and looked at Mikael shyly saying. ''Hi Mr. Sun. I want to thank you once again for the dress, it fitted perfectly and I loved it."

''Yes, Brian said he delivered the dress to you?''

''What dress are you talking about?'' Director Zou asked curiously.

''It's nothing much, there was a little accident this morning and I got my dress soiled but Mr. Sun helped me by letting his assistant get me a new outfit, which I loved so much.'' Mimi spoke with a smile.

She had intentionally mentioned the incident again to remind Mikael of what happened and to fuel his hatred for Alice more.

''Then, that's great. You should always take care of each other. I will get back to making a few preparations, you two can chat together'' Director Zou said and walked away leaving them alone

Mimi looked at the script in Mikael's hands and asked, ''I see you are ready to read through your script?''

''Yes. I am!'' Mikael went back to his seat

''Then, can I join you to rehearse together? There are a few things I would like you to help me with. The part where we will have our first kiss demands a full display of a lot of emotions…''

''No, actually, I like to do my rehearsal alone'' Mikael Sun cut her off and her face turned ashen but she quickly composed herself.

''Okay. Then, I won't disturb you anymore. But, I would like to invite you to dinner after the shooting. As my gratitude for the dress. You won't say no to that, right?'' Mimi asked, with anticipation.

''No problem!'' Mikael didn't even look at her face as he gave her the reply but she still smiled because she was about to have dinner with him. She could tell him a few things he didn't know about Natalie.

''Alright, then, I will make reservation and let you know.''

''Okay!'' Mimi smiled and returned to her hut happily.

Mikael closed his script and looked at his assistant. ''Why did she smell weird just now?''

''That must be the perfume she used. Should I disinfect the hut?''

''No, it's alright, but did she pour the whole bottle on herself? So unethical!"

''She likes you, Mikael!'' Brian said and Mikael smiled.

''I know, that's why I'm going to set it straight. Did you look into the Song family?''

''Yes, the information is in your mailbox.''

''Okay. I will read it when I get back to City M.'' Mikael furrowed his brows and turned to look at Brian. "Call Assistant He and tell him to report to me what my sister in law has been up to these past few months.''

''You asked me about that last night and I said she has been attending job interviews.''

''Just job interviews? Doesn't she go out besides attending job interviews? No male friends?''

''No, your sister in law doesn't have male friends apart from your late brother. The only friend she meets is Xia, the reporter.''

''Really? So, she is not going on dates?''

Brian frowned and looked at Mikael strangely. Why did he feel that his boss was over obsessive over his sister in law? He seemed so invested in whatever the woman was doing.

Mikael looked at Alice's hut and chuckled as he watched Alice took an apple from her assistant. When their eyes met, she gave him a sass shrewd and flipped her middle at him making him laugh.

''She is so childish, so different from her sister Natalie Jun!'' Mikael Sun muttered.

Alice's hut

Niania peeled an apple and cut it into pieces for Alice as they chatted.

Alice looked at Mimi whose eyes were on Mikael and murmured. ''Her eyes are going to fall off at this rate. Tsk, tsk. She is so done for.''

Niania chuckled and handed a fork of cut apple to Alice. ''Eat some apples before the shooting starts.''

Alice too the fork from Niania and looked at the arrangement of the set made by the production team as she took a bite before telling Niania ''You eat some too. We didn't even get quality food to eat this afternoon because of the shooting.''

''You're the one working hard. Here.'' Niania took the fork and fed Alice the rest of the apples as Alice looked at her script.

Director Zou walked to the middle with a microphone and made the announcement. ''Attention, everyone. Filming will start in ten minutes.''

''Copy!'' Alice replied.

''Copy!'' Mikael answered.

Mimi looked at Mikael and also replied. "Copy!"

SET SHOOTING FOR EPISODE 15 SCENE 8.

LIVING ROOM.

Mimi quickly got into her character – Chloe. Her character was the female lead who had previously thought that her husband was dead in a plane crash and started living with her brother in law whom she later fell in love with but just as they were planning to spend the rest of their lives together, her husband who was supposed to be dead suddenly returned, throwing a wreck into their lives.

After realising she had fallen for her brother in law, and the arrival of her husband, Chloe found herself torn apart. As she sat in the hall holding the pregnancy test results, she looked sorrowful.

[Mikael's character, Yahweh walked into the hall and spoke to Chloe]

''Chloe, what is that in your hands?''

Chloe hid the paper behind her and spoke nervously. ''Huh, nothing. Let's break up, Yahweh.''

''Why? Is it because my brother is back?'' Yahweh asked as his gaze turned solemn while looking at Chloe.

''I'm married to your brother. This is not fair to your brother.''

''No. I won't accept this. I love you, Chloe.'' Yahweh was finally finding his true happiness. What he felt for Chloe was something he hadn't felt for anyone in his entire life and he wasn't ready to let her go back to his brother.
