21 Get In The Car

WHO ARE YOU TO HER?

Feng Anxi who became bored all of a sudden after the spectacle had come to an end went to the back to smoke a cigarette. He mentally applauded Lillian Ye for breaking out of Anna's illusion after only ten bad takes.

Back when they were still in high school, she had used this method to get rid of a student who was a bully. Coincidentally, the student was also in the drama club and when the two had scenes together, Anna used this method and that girl was never heard of again after the humiliation she received.

Feng Anxi created smoke circles in the air. He had not been standing for long when he felt footsteps approaching the pace he was standing at. "Now that chairman Lu is here, why don't you just come out?"

Harry Lu who was standing at the corner rounded off and stood in front of Feng Anxi. His face did not look good from all the humiliation he received after overhearing those two extras speak.

"Chairman Lu, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Feng Anxi asked. His cigarette was still lit and it still emitted soft smoke which wafted between the two, Harry Lu frowned.

"What is your relationship with Anna Lee?" his question was quite straight forward, he did not beat around the bush. Feng Anxi laughed. So this man came all the way here just to ask him this?

"Why do you ask, Chairman Lu?" Feng Anxi was always playful. His real tone was never displayed unless he was truly angered yet he was also an expert at making other people angry.

Harry Lu was using the tone of a chairman to question him. It was as if he expected Feng Anxi to answer every question just because he asked. As expected, Harry Lu's frown deepened.

"Why do I ask? If not for the way you two are glued towards one another, are you not worried about your image?" Harry Lu countered while Feng Anxi scoffed.

"My image? Why should I care about that? And why do you care about that?" He asked, confused. It seems as if Harry was already feeling conflicted whenever he saw Anna with other men.

"I know it is not my place to ask but let me ask anyway..." He started, Harry Lu was already feeling annoyed by his previous answer but before he could project himself, Feng Anxi continued, "….just who are you to her to ask me this question?"

Harry Lu froze yet Feng Anxi still poked on his wounds, "How blind were you back then? Is Chairman Lu starting to regret his decisions?"

Feng Anxi threw these words then strode off leisurely. He could not help but exclaim at Harry Lu's choices. No matter what, if Lillian Ye and Anna Lee were placed on a line and someone was asked to choose, the choice was obvious.

Feng Anxi could not help but wonder just what level of blindness Harry Lu had.

On the other side of the set…

The scene had already wrapped up and all the test shots had been completed. The character profile shots had also been completed.

"Good work everybody" Director Zheng's voice echoed throughout the set and everyone cheered as a response. Lillian Ye's face was still dark from all the mess Anna Lee had made her create.

"We will have dinner together today so after you have changed you can meet with us at the hotel later" Director Zheng continued and the cheers erupted once more.

Anna finished changing off of her costume and then made her way home to freshen up after bidding farewell to everyone. She had just rounded a corner to call for a taxi when a car pulled up in front of her.

She recognized it immediately; it was Harry Lu's car. His face was quite gloomy and his voice rigid when he spoke to her.

"Get in the car."

Anna Lee was stupefied, get in whose car again? Was this chairman muddleheaded?

"Don't make me get out and carry you inside." Harry continued after seeing her space off. Anna Lee scoffed as a response then looked him dead in the eye.

"Carry me in? Chairman Lu, just who the hell do you think you are?"
