EDDIE For a second, I thought I was seeing things but I knew it wasn't my imagination acting up this time. To be sincere, I've always dreamed of him during those two years. I never thought I would see him tonight and it made me feel a little bit restless. He sat down on the obtainable seat, facing me and his gaze fixated on me. Slicked hair, thick brows, beautiful lips, piercing eyes, alluring Adam apple… I didn't fail to notice what got me attracted to him two years ago. I didn't know what to feel at the moment, anger, happiness, anxiety… Looking at him made me speechless. I must be a fool. But I wanted to act cool, I want to show him he was a jerk, a big one at that but it's happening again, my feelings are betraying me. I clenched my fist hard, glaring hard at the boiling hot pot. “Mr. Lee, it's so nice to meet you again,” Liz said, her voice containing a strong suggestion of reproach. I shifted my gaze to Liz who kept her eyes on Mr. Lee. “Let me introduce Mr. Lee to you” Mr
“He's going to mess up again” Min Ho mumbled as he paced to and fro. He held his head firmly, his eyes blazing with irritation. “Hey! Don't forget you carried me here without my consent” Liz shouted, stomping her heels on the floor. “You are just like your boss!” she screamed, glaring at Min Ho who was already tight-lipped. He had forgotten she was here, his mind was occupied with his boss. He's worried the cold man may act out of hand again. Mr. Cha had left them after they got outside. It was just him and miss fiery temper. “What do you mean I'm just like my boss Miss Elizabeth?” he asked slowly, not wanting to sound angry. It was obvious that he was a little annoyed but he didn't want her to get the wrong idea. And truthfully, he's afraid he might get hit with her heels. "I mean shouldn't we give them time to settle whatever is between them? They might be business partners in the future so it's better to settle the resentment between them than let it interfere with their business l
Liz couldn't sleep after the discussion with Min Ho. She kept peeking at Eddie subconsciously, her conscience filled with guilt. Eddie was her best pal and they've been together for seven years but she failed to realize what Eddie was passing through. She became her road manager, closer to her than anyone else but she failed to learn that Eddie was suffering. She didn't know why Eddie didn't tell her the whole truth two years ago but she couldn't blame her, she was the one who overlooked Eddie’s suffering.“Can you believe what Mr Lee said to me? He's even more worse than before! I can't believe I fell in love with someone like that” Eddie cursed, her eyes darting around as she paced around her bedroom. Liz was sitting on the sofa, absentmindedly. She was looking at Eddie but her mind was somewhere else. She has to meet up with Min Ho tomorrow, she has too. “What's wrong with you? You know, you've been kind of scatterbrained since we both left the Chinese Imperial restaurant” Eddie’s
"Cut! Pass!” the director yelled, clapping his hands and smiling satisfyingly at the people who walked towards him. “Let's rest for some minutes.” She let out a deep breath as she collected the bottle of water from Liz. She sipped unhurriedly, her throat bobbing as she sips. She handed over the bottle of water back to Liz who threw it to one side. “Tell me, how does it feel to work with Song Go Ra,” Liz said with excitement, her eyes sparkling and she was smiling dazzlingly. “Exhilarating! I mean she's so good and she also complimented me! I'm over the blues!” Eddie did her best to hide her excitement but she was just too elated. Song Go Ra is a favored actress who is three years older than her but her beauty was like that of an angel, dazzling and flourishing. She was a star who debuted at the age of six and it has been twenty-four years since she became an actress. Everyone loves Go Ra, she is loving and nice to a newbie actress like Eddie who got lucky to play a role as Go Ra's
It has been two weeks since filming started and Eddie has been busier than usual. She has become friends with Song Go Ra while she remained enemies with Patty. There was a time last week when they both wore the same cloth to the filming site. It was conspicuous that Patty intentionally wore the same cloth as hers to annoy Eddie. The director forced Eddie to change her clothes since she was a newbie and Patty was her senior. Eddie didn't retort nor did she attack Patty, she simply changed her clothes and continued filming. Yesterday, Song Go Ra invited both of them to Spa since today was their day off. Eddie couldn't decline it and instead begged Song Go Ra to let Liz tag along with them. She had promised Liz to have a girl’s day with her on her day off but something else came up. Liz was her best friend and also her manager but Eddie didn't want Liz to feel left out because Eddie had been hanging out with Song Go Ra and Patty. She somehow felt bleak when Liz told her and Song Na Ra t
When Eddie got back to the room, she noticed that something was strange. At first, she thought it was Liz but when she checked around she saw no one. She adjusted her gaze to the table that was not far from her bed. She saw a container on the table and a note left on the container.“Eat these to avoid gaining weight. I won't be coming home tonight, I'm going to the club with my date” Eddie read out the note, her lips curling into a pretty smile. Liz must have felt guilty for leaving me alone, thought Eddie to herself as she opened the container to eat what it contained. She didn't wait to have dinner with Song Go Ra and Patty tonight because she was afraid that Liz would be back in the hotel room. Her conscience pricked her as she was having fun with the Song Go Ra and Patty without Liz. Liz was her manager but also her best pal, she would do anything for her but thinking about how she left Liz to have fun with Patty and Song Go Ra, Eddie felt she was blameworthy.She ate the food and
“Let the doctors treat your arm, Leonard” Kim Min Ho said as he approached Leonard who sat down lifelessly like a person who just lost a family member. He adjusted his gaze to Min Ho who was also pale.“Is the driver here?” Leonard asked indifferently, his eyes fixated on Min Ho who shook his head. Today had been a tragic day. Some hours ago, Min Ho was talking to Liz on the phone when he had a strange commotion, and Liz screamed. He knew immediately that something was wrong and what was wrong is that someone who wants to die prematurely is trying to hurt Eddie and the people around her. Min Ho without wasting time called Leonard and explained to him what just happened and they were right, someone set this up.The person that injured Liz stole her bag which contained their room card. It was very much obvious that the person sneaked in and set the whole room on fire to injure Eddie while Liz is just a tool they used. Min Ho was annoyed when he found out that Liz went out on a blind dat
She blinked her eyes rapidly, gulping down her spit. She saw him pour water into a cup and handed it over to her.“You are not dreaming, just take” Leonard said coolly, one of his hands in his pocket.Eddie was trying to process what happened but her sick brain couldn't. She took the water from him as she was dehydrated. She drank it all in one go. She used her hand to wipe her wet lips, letting out a deep breath as she raised her head to look at the man who was standing casually in front of her.“How… do I get here?” she asked nervously and unhurriedly.“I saved your life, you owe me one” his nonchalant reply riled her up instantly making her let out a scoff while rolling her eyes.“Saved me? I wasn't… holy shit!”The memories that her brain failed to process, rushed in and fear crept into her slowly. She recalled that she saw herself in the middle of fire in the hotel room and she went insentient after that. Was someone trying to kill her? She kept herself away from trouble and even
