     "Are you fucking kidding me?" Mhae Lee muttered to herself, her legs moving faster and faster as she got closer to Joseph's trailer.
     She could hear Michelle's muffled laughter from the inside. However, her laugh came to an abrupt stop when Mhae Lee threw open the door. As soon as she walked in the trailer, her eyes landed on Joseph who seemed to look relieved at the sight of her.

     Joseph felt his whole body relax when he saw Mhae Lee. At this point, he didn't care if Michelle noticed him outwardly express his uneasiness around her.
     From the moment Michelle approached him during her first week on set, he already felt like something was off about her. However, she hadn't really done anything to him to validate his uneasiness, so he just let it go and tried to steer clear of her any time she was near. Unfortunately, she seemed to always be one step ahead of him—always popping up wherever he was. Of course, her job was to assist everyone on set—but let's be honest, it was a huge set and she was never assigned to assist Joseph in any way, therefore she really had no reason to be near him, especially in his trailer.
     Joseph had finished filming his last scene for the day when Michelle had popped up out of nowhere claiming that he was needed to stop by the hair and makeup trailer. Joseph informed her that he needed to stop by his own trailer first to grab a few things that he might need, like his phone and earphones, so he could listen to music as they took his wig and makeup off. He didn't expect Michelle to follow him around and he was too nice to tell her to get lost. That didn't mean he didn't think about it, though.
     Now, seeing Mhae Lee standing at the door, he suddenly felt less fear in displaying his dislike for the PA. He made eye contact with her as if to say, "Help me!" and Mhae Lee understood immediately.

     "Can I help you?" Michelle asked Mhae Lee.
Wrong move, Joseph winced.
     Mhae Lee gave the PA a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, "I was gonna ask you the same thing."
     Joseph looked down and noticed a piece of paper in Mhae Lee's hand. She held it up for Michelle to see.
     "You see, I was wondering why you've been 'assisting' Joseph all day when you're not even assigned to this set today," Mhae Lee said, making a show of scanning the paper with the list of all the different PAs and their assigned duties.
     Michelle opened her mouth to reply, but Mhae Lee interrupted her, "Actually you haven't been assigned to this set for a while now. Did you know you were assigned to help with the interior sets? You know, I wasn't going to say anything, but even Jamie was wondering why you were hanging around his trailer the other day. That seems quite unprofessional, don't you think? I wonder what Justin will think about that..." (Justin being the Second Assistant Director and in charge of the PAs this season).
     As if on cue, a voice came through Michelle's radio that was hanging on her waist, "Michelle, Justin wants to see you ASAP."
     Michelle sent Mhae Lee a glare before stomping out of Joseph's trailer.

     As soon as she was out of sight, Mhae Lee gave Joseph a mischievous smile, "She won't be bothering you again."
     In a split second, Joseph engulfed his girlfriend in a hug so tight that Mhae Lee could barely breathe.
     "Thank God," he sighed as buried his face in her hair, "I thought I was just going crazy when I kept seeing her around my trailer. I didn't know Jamie was experiencing the same thing."
     "You were definitely not going crazy," Mhae Lee said, hugging him tighter, "Jamie mentioned it to me the other day and even Natalia said that it looked like she was targeting him too—kept following him around like a lost puppy when they were filming some Vecna scenes last night."
     "I hope we never see her again," Joseph sighed.
