Sitting on the luxurious couch, Aila took a quick glance at her lines and then memorized it in her mind. As she was doing that, Shane prepared an assistant. As they were going to shoot for an advertisement of an expensive tea, there were various types of cakes and desserts in front of them. There was also an artificial chandelier. And under that chandelier was Aila.
Noticing that Shane got someone to assist her in her schemes, Aila couldn't help but chuckle lowly.
"Alright everybody! Let's do this. We only have three hours until the representative comes and assess us. Its either we fail or we nail this. Everybody cooperate. Alright?" The big bellied director said.
A series of 'yeah' and 'yes' were heard in the room.
"Actors ready?" Asked the director.
"Mhm, I'm ready Director Lee." Aila said in a smile.
Shane looked at her script quickly and confidently flipped her hair.
"I'm ready too." She said while smiling.
Nodding in relief, the big bellied director grabbed his speaker, "ready, set, action!" He shouted.
Aila took the initiative. She raised her clear cup and took a sip of the tea. "Mmm~, get a sip of Red Tea and it calms your mind."
Seeing Aila having an easy time, Shane gritted her teeth. But realizing her plan that will soon be played, she smiled brightly. "Red Tea, luxurious and... uh... uhm... delish?" Shane forgot her lines as she thought of her plan.
"CUT! What the, please do this more seriously Miss Shane!" The big bellied director shouted in his speaker. Suddenly feeling embarrassed, beads of sweat came dripping down on her face.
Aila who was observing, said in her mind, 'for someone who has many schemes in her mind, she surely does get ashamed.'
"I-I'm sorry director! I'll do better!" Shane said.
Aila almost burst out laughing. The seemingly arrogant half-sister of hers is embarrassed. Now, this is a sight to see.
"Okay, fine. From the top everyone! Chop chop!" The big bellied director clapped his hands as the camera men adjusted their angles again.
Aila took a sip of the clear cup again. She looked at the camera and smiled politely, "Mmm~, get a sip of Red Tea and it calms your mind."
Shane raised her cup and smiled. "Red Tea... delicious... lux... lux... uh, I forgot my line again. Ehe."
'For fuck's sake, your line is literally just red tea, luxurious and delicious!' Aila complained in her head.
"Cut! Please do better the next time."
And two stressful hours for the director had passed. By this time, it was their fifty-fifth take.
"Mmm~, get a sip of Red Tea and it calms your mind." Aila smiled politely. Wearing the same old smile was exhausting, alright.
"Red Tea, luxurious, and delicious." Shane smiled widely.
"Cut! Miss Aila, why don't you rest for a while. I will just cut your part and edit it. Even though this is only a fifteen second ad, your part is done." The director said.
"Thank you, Director Lee. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to use the rest room for a bit." Aila said.
She was about to stand up when she saw Shane's demonic smile as Shane retracted her index finger, and the artificial chandelier fell. By this time, Jam Roy saw it all. With all his might, he ran as fast as he could. With in a second, he grabbed and hugged Aila, who had no reaction whatsoever.
The chandelier collapsed on Jam Roy's back and head. The shards of fake glass made an impact on the floor tiles as the team immediately assisted both Jam Roy and Aila.
Aila's manager quickly went to Aila and assisted her to stand up. As she was about to stand up, Aila saw blood dripping from Jam Roy's head. Although she herself is not afraid of blood, the sight of someone wounded still scares her. Especially if that person is someone who is considered a friend.
"Jam, you're bleeding!" Aila shrieked.
"Its just some blood. How about you, are you alright?" Jam Roy asked in a tone that was peculiar to Aila.
Aila looked at her bruised knees, and shook her head.
Seeing her bruised knees, Jam Roy looked at the director angrily.
"What the hell, could you check your props before you shoot?! You could've hurt somebody!" Jam Roy roared in anger.
Shane was in a shock too. She wasn't really expecting someone to come and rescue Aila. Plus she thought that the chandelier was not that heavy to actually cause a wound.
"I apologize, Mr. Roy! I will immediately fire the props manager for this!" The big bellied director immediately appeased Jam Roy.
"Apologize later! He's bleeding! Call an ambulance or give him first aid kit!" Aila said quickly.
"Right! Anne, the first aid kit!"
"Coming!"
While doing the first aid, Aila took a glance at Shane who was pale as a paper. What her scheme this time was unforgivable, and she, Isla or better known as Aila, will let her get what she deserves. As the saying goes, what you sow is what you reap.
"Madie! What the hell, didn't I told you to check the props before using them?!" The big bellied director shouted.
Madie, the prop manager, cowered in fear. "B-but Director Lee, I did check before the chandelier was put and then-"
Before Madie could finish her story, Aila interrupted her. Face serious, she summoned her manager. Face black as charcoal, she couldn't forgive Shane.
"I know who was behind it all." Aila said in a low but eerie voice.
All the attention went to Aila as she signalled her manager to give her a tablet. With a push of a button, all actions of Shane was shown to the whole crew.
It turned out that after Shane retracted her finger, Madie nodded in response as Madie untied the rope that what made the chandelier fall.
As Shane watched all of it, her face became paler and paler in each second passed.
"What will you say, dear sister?" Aila's voice held a warning tone.
"No! It was an accident-"
"I see. Now I know how you managed to sneak into the Dubois family without even getting caught in the act. But now that someone has actually seen you do your nasty thing, you immediately deny despite having evidences." Jam Roy's voice was deep and also held a tonw of warning.
Shane couldn't refute.
"Call the police. I am not tolerating this kind of behavior. I am wounded and this Missy should be in jail." Jam Roy coldly said.
Aila went to Jam Roy's side and helped him stand up and walk.
"Director Lee, please finish the shoot without me. You did said that my takes were perfect so cutting my part is alright, right?" Aila asked.
"Yes. In the mean time, I am very sorry. If it wouldn't bother you, please accompany Mr. Roy to the hospital." The big bellied director asked in a worried voice.
"I will."
