Mine! No Objections Allowed (Mikhaiah Adaptation)

Chapter 13 : Livestream

Mikha remained silent for not even three seconds, before her lips quivered. "Alright."

****

Even after Mikha's car had left the parking lot, Aiah was still standing there looking like a fool.

"Uh, are you going up?" A woman walked into the elevator, shooting a strange look at the person still holding the door open.

Aiah finally came back to herself, taking a few tries to get her floor number. "Sorry, excuse me."

After finishing her sentence, she looked down, hiding all of her emotions behind her hair.

Before bringing her hands up and tightly covering her mouth, just in case she made too much of a racket.

...What could she do? She was almost overwhelmed by these unknown feelings.

Once she got home she hurriedly went and took a cold shower to cool herself down.

Hanging her legs over the edge of the bathtub, she thought about it before making a video call to Maloi.

The other picked up really fast. Maloi was donning a facial mask; when she saw on the screen the half exposed shoulder of Aiah's, she couldn't help the 'Damn!' that escaped from her mouth.

"Maloi, I need your help! Tell me, how did you get Akira?" Aiah leant her head against the edge of the tub, the slit of her eyes appearing even sharper at this angle, akin to the seductive vixens of the past.

"Are you looking to get punched, your ankle is swollen and you're taking a bath?!" Maloi scolded her, before saying, "And who told you I pursued him? He's the one who pursued me."

So Aiah changed her question. "Then how did he get you to say yes?"

"What about it? You've never been this nosy, what's going on?" Maloi said, "He didn't try too hard really. When my bag was stolen, he grabbed it back for me. Then he took me out for a few meals, he was an okay guy. So when he confessed, I agreed."

Aiah tsked. "Why are you so easy to get?!"

Maloi sneered. "Look who's talking."

Aiah apologized. "Sorry."

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Maloi took out a book. "Your magazine cover will be published a week earlier than originally planned, so your livestreaming interview was brought forward too. I'm going to write down all the answers you need to answer during the interview and you need to study them later okay!?"

"Got it." Aiah asked, "When am I getting the new script for 'Undercurrent'?"

Maloi said, "I haven't gotten any updates yet, go ask Direk Jho later."

"Sure."

After hanging up, Maloi quickly sent the file over.

Aiah spun the pen idly in her hand, thinking that it really wasn't easy being an actress. Not only did she have to memorize her script, she had to memorize her speeches too. Not to mention the rigorous filming schedules and stamina to handle long hours of filming.

She quickly skimmed the document and her attention was caught by one question.

'You are now considered successful in your acting career, how about your love life?'

The answer Maloi wrote was, "No (quickly shake your head), it takes me a while to get close to people to be honest. Currently, I'm more focused on my career and I haven't had the time to date." Answer with a small smile. The instruction said.
