The dressing room was like a whirlwind of activity, the clatter of makeup brushes, the soft hum of a hairdryer, and buzzing with the hum of conversation. Well not conversation. Rumors. And rumors about this once specific gentleman, who happened to be not only the big boss in this movie production, but also the male lead. I get my hair done with the hairstylist as I listen to the gossip going around the makeup room.

"Did you catch a glimpse of Mr. Charming, aka our male lead for the drama? He's like a walking dream, isn't he?" A blonde haired staff whispers to the red haired staff beside her. They both organize the makeup at the vanity as they exchange a knowing look.

"Oh, you mean the boss? Yeah, he's not just handsome; he's practically the poster child for success!"

"What? why?" The blonde looks confused. "Isn't this his second time acting only?"

Red Hair frowns before speaking, "Do you actually don't know his background? Has no one mentioned to you he's loaded? Like, 'I own this corporation' loaded."

Blondie gasps, "No wonder he walks around like he owns the place!"

"Lower your voice Sun-mi." The red hair shushes the girl who's apparently Sun-mi. She looks around before opening a conspicuous smile and pushes the other's arm playfully, "And that's 'cause he actually does." Her friend giggles.

"He was born with both looks and wealth...quite unfair." Sun-mi sighs. "At least we get to see his beautiful face everyday."

Oh so the boss is the male actor? I think I might have heard of a Chaebol third gen heir who had started acting. But I can't remember who. Now that I think about it, I was so excited about my little role that I forgot to ask about further information on the movie...

"Yeah, and he's certainly only eye candy for us if we don't want to sign an NDA."

"What do you mean, Minji?"

Minji gestures for the other to come closer. It's incredible how they speak quite lowly but I can still hear them clearly. Not complaining, tho. I'm doing nothing while I let the hairstylist do my hair... So I'm up for the gossip. Also, this information is quite useful as I don't know any of them and since it's about our boss...

"Well, I know some of the names in his little black book. At least he doesn't discriminate, as long as you flip his switch he'll take it."

"Dang."

"Yeah..." Minji smirks. "He's got quite the reputation with the ladies. He's a real Casanova. Plays the field like it's a game."

The girls continued to swap stories about their charismatic, hot and notorious boss, their whispers dripping with a mix of fascination and amusement.

"They say he never dates the same woman twice." The girl lowers her voice a bit leaning in.

"Is that a challenge or a warning?"

"I'd rather not find out." She laughs.

Just then the makeup room door bursts open and a male staff enters with a grim face. He looks at the two girls who were just gossiping. They straighten their backs and smile at him.

"Boss got into some... action during break. I need you to go fix his makeup before the next scene."

Wow this man's really committed to his casanova title. Seriously, tho. The fact he did this during work is beyond disgusting.

"Go go." He rushes the two makeup artists before taking his leave.

I start thinking about the pieces of information I've collected from their gossip and suddenly it clicked. Nayeon did tell me about who's producing the movie!
