Who am I: Hailey

"Ms Hailey?"

"What is it? Which set?" I ask out of habit.

"Hi, I'm Director Kim." 

While I was mopping the spilled tea off the set floor, a name card came into view. I look up, connecting the arms to a body and the body to a bearded face.

"Yes? How can I help you?" I say, my eyes traveling back down to the name card.

"Have you heard of the novel "Icy Sun"? "

I nodded.

"I'm making it into a movie, the writer of the novel saw you act as a maid on television and she wants you to be one of the main characters."

The mop I was holding drop to the ground.

"We'd like you to act as Luz."

Luz? My heart which has flown to the clouds crashed back down to earth. Luz...

Director Kim smiled.

"What's the pay like?"

"$900."

Are they kidding me? I raise an eyebrow.

"I refuse."

"$1000-" I frown at him. "$6000, that's my limit."

$6000 for a movie... That is enticing.

"Deal." I say, taking his name card from him. "Excuse me, I have work to do still." I gesture to the spilled tea as I put the name card in my pocket. His face was the definition of 'looks can kill'. I pretend I didn't see his scowl and grab my mop, mopping up the mess as per usual. He left in a huff, only to come back with a thick book.

"This is the script for the movie. We're starting our filming next month. I'll send you the details closer to the date." He instructed, forcing the book into my hands.

Send me? I watch him leave with a flabbergasted expression.

"He asked me for it. Hailey, I officially fire you as of this moment." Sol Mi giggled, before telling me she's firing me with a smile.

"Sol Mi, this is not how you fire people. You don't smile as if you won a prize."

"But I'll pop by everyday to make sure you studied the script." She gave me that evil look of hers.

Who am I: Odile
"Why do you have recordings of my voice." I confront him as he forcefully grab his laptop from me.

"That's not your v..voice." Seo Jin stammered, escaping from the room with his laptop.

Not my voice? I curl my fingers into a fist, pressing my nails into my flesh as I look at the door. How dare he.

He must have ran out as the main door slam shut.

 I remember Dad always use to tell us. "The worst revenge you can dish to a person is to be more successful than them. To make them stand beneath you."

At that time I had been bullied, and I ran home crying. But after a year, the Bully was forced by our Science Teacher to study under me instead. With the Teacher's support, he had to endure the humiliation of being tutored by a younger kid.

Alright, fine! I'll let you fly with my songs, and I'll crush you with my songs as well. I smile with satisfaction at that scenario I imagined. Fly as high as you can, Seo Jin. I'll be back to haunt you. I toy with the usb in my pocket.

Heard from a reliable source. Your company might planning to fire you.
......................................................................

He wouldn't dare fire me. I'm the one who helped him get to where he is today! I grip my phone tightly. But the possibility is there. I'm now on a indefinite lock down, why would he not dare to fire me?Rather than letting him fire me, I should fire him instead. My phone begin ringing and I answer the call.

"Are you alright?" Ji Yun immediately say.

"A little overwhelmed and angry." I reply, walking back to my room and locking the door.

" If you'd like, I can help you on this. Crysando Music is holding their audition soon. You can give it a try though I'm sure you'll be accepted in. No student of mine is bad enough to be rejected." Ji Yum say.

Crysando Music? That's the rival company of Lexunos.

"You're asking me to join the rival company?"

"What does the rivalry between two companies have to do with you? I am very sure your loyalty to Lexunos was shattered when you got lock down. " Ji Yum say, her words dripping with sarcasm. "Besides, in your current situation, I don't think Mr Che would even want to let you sponge off the company'a minimum wage. I don't think you wish to continue being on lock down as well."

"You're right. I'll go for the audition. When is it?"

"Now."

"What?!"

"I got the information just a few minutes ago so I texted you and sent your resume to Crysando. Not as Elido." but as Odile. "You've got an hour to head down now. I'll send you the address. Grab a cab." And she hung up her call.

Ji Yun!!!! I hurriedly wash my face and shower, spray a little cologne. Shut, it should be perfume! I don't have perfume! Ah heck it! Grab my wig and throw on some random shirt and jeans before grabbing my wallet and phone and run out of the house to grab a cab.

Did I close my door? I think I did. Irregardless they won't find anything interesting. I remember logging out of my iTunes, iBanking and YouTube accounts.

"Crysando Music please, thanks. Could you try to go fast? I'm in a hurry." I tell the cab driver as I wore my wig, adjusting it.

I sent back a crying face. I haven't had anything to eat yet!
My stomach growled extremely loudly and the driver look back at me.
He pass behind a box of cookie in response.
"You seem to be desperately needing some food. Take it all. Young people these days don't even know how to take care of themselves. Tch tch!" The driver pursed his lips in a disapproving manner.

"Thank you, Uncle!" I quickly tear open the wrapper and munch my first meal.

Delicious....
