Cute Devil and Mr Kooky

CH4: Acting

Bright was looking at his work while someone stormed into his office. His assistant tried to stop that person in a polite way as possible. When that person stand in front of him, his assistant looked at him apologeticly. He waved his hand out.

"May I know why are you storming into my office?" Bright asked while leaning on the backrest of the chair.

"Why you did that?" The person looked angry but Bright can see that that person hold it up.

"What did I do?" Even though Bright actually expected this and knew what the other was talking about, he decided to play dumb.

"Don't pretend Bright. Win Metawin, the actor that I recommended into this company. What you have done to him?" Luke asked nicely even though he quite angry over what happened.

He was so shocked when he knew that Bright put Win under training group team. It was okay to give a traning but it was not okay when Bright put a halt on his acting job.

"Oh, that clumsy actor. I've not done anything to him. I just put him under training and gave him a big allowance, even free accomodation. Tell me what's wrong with my action?" Bright snapped back.

"He is not a newbie, Bright. To put him under training and restraint him from accepting any offered during that period is kind of insulted to the actor."

Luke seemed tried to coax him to pulled out the idea.

"He does not say nothing about it. And he already signed the contract. Why are you so worked up? He got good training there with our hired profesional acting trainer and also he still got allowance despite of him restraint from having any job during that period." Bright started to feel annoying.

"You don't understand. His passion is acting. If you restrained him like that, you know better how that feel where someone restrained you from something you like to do."

Bright's anger suddenly bottled up. "If you care so much about him and about his passion, you don't do this at the first place. You know our company rules. Signing him up straight to the company even without proper interview and audition. You only make him a laughstock among his colleagues and set up him for hate! Not only that, he might be targetted as having secret connection or relationship with the authority in this company"

Bright's word sprang in Luke's heart. He silently agreed with that but still Bright didn't need to do this. If Bright discussed about it with him first, he will find another way for Win. Now, he felt guilty to Win as he promised to him the best treatment before he entered the company. But what was more weird to him was why Bright seemed concerned about this.

"How many month you put him under training?" Luke asked again.

"3 month" Bright replied as he looked back at Luke, tried to read Luke's expression.

"That's a quite long" Luke furrowed his brow.

"But at least one month less than other trainer. He still can accept other job except for acting"

Luke let out a sighed.

"Bright... why are you doing this? Are you perhap make a hard thing for Win because of me?" Luke questioned Bright right there.

Bright looked at the person in front of him expresionless. With a stern voice he said, "If you have nothing else, please excuse me. I have a work to do now"

He ignored the looked from his step brother and started to look at his work again.

Luke let out a sighed and turned his back away. When he touched the door, he halted his step. Without turning, with a soft voice, dohe spoke again, "Come to home once awhile. Father wanted to see you."
