CHAPTER THREE
Back to the present.
“Why does she have to be here?” Ann ask her assistant while looking at her co-artist, Ericka Villongco.
“I'm sorry Miss. But I believe she's part of the show. As well as for that guy.” Julie, her assistant pointed at the guy talking to the director.
“Well, who is he?”
“James Reid.” Julie said dreamingly as she clasp her hands together. While Ann, after hearing the name, her blood began to boil.
“He's going to be you leading man in the show.”
“WHAT?!” Ann screamed which make the other people look at her. She bowed as a sign of apology and quickly excused herself from the press. She went directly to the director and James.
“Sir, don't tell me he's going to be the leading man in the show.” Ann said which made the director look at her, confuse.
“He is. Oh. I almost forgot. James, this is Ann Li. Your future leading lady. And Ann, this is James Reid.“The director smiled. James lend his hand for a hand shake but Ann just ignored him.
“Excuse me, Sir. But I believe I have to go now.”
“Oh. Right. James, take her to the condo you two will be staying.” That sentence made Ann eyes widen.
“Were going to live in one room?!”
“Yes.”
“Fine.”
**********************
“Hi.” James said to Ann while driving. But Ann still ignored him. James was getting confuse on why is Ann like that to him.
“Any problem, Ann ?”
“Yes. A big problem.”
“What is it? maybe I can help you.”
“You.”
“What did I do?” James asked cluelessly.
“Have you ever wondered how it hurts to have a bet played on you” Ann looked at him. But she's not ready to tell him that she's Yi Shuan. Yes. She's that ugly nerdy girl. And she turn out to be a stunning creation.
“What?” There, James parked the car on the street.
“You didn't experience that? Oh. Well, silly me for judging you. Sorry.” Ann said sarcastically.
“What do you mean by the bet thing?”
“Forget it.”
***************************
When they entered the condo, it was huge. It was like a house. But there is one problem. There's only one king sized bed which they can perfectly fit. When Ann noticed it, she bring out her phone and dialed their director.
ANN: Hello Sir?
DIRECTOR: Yes, Ann?
ANN: Why is there one bed?
DIRECTOR: Oh. I forgot to tell you, you two have to sleep in one bed. Because the show that were going to shoot is about married life. So, you two have to be comfortable with each other when that time comes.
ANN: I see.
DIRECTOR: I got to go now.
ANN: *hungs up*
“Married Life?” James asked as he look at Ann from head to toe.
“I'm going to have a fake marriage with a girl like you? So not my type.” James said disgustingly, which made Ann furious. Ann began running after him and punch him with a pillow. They were having fun, when suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Ann opened the door, which reveals, ERICKA.
“Oh. Hi.” Ann greeted with a fake smile.
“Not talking to you.” Ericka snobbed. She made her way towards James and dragged him outside.
“Not talking to you.” Ann mimic Ericka's voice.
OUTSIDE.....
“Hey Babe.” Ericka said while putting her hands around James neck. Let me tall you, James and Ericka are together.
“Why are you like that to her? She was nice to you, but you just snobbed her.” James argued.
“She was acting.”
“Whatever, Ericka. I gotta go.” James said as he went inside.
********************************
James was watching Ann and the kid while they were playing.
“She's beautiful.”
“JAMES! Come here!” Ann shouted which made James went towards her.
Well, it was Sunday that day. Ann and James went for a walk. When a little kid went to them.
“Ann? I have to tell you something.” James said. But suddenly...
“CUTT!!!!” The director shouted. “James! That was on chapter 25. Were only on chapter one. Okay. This is giving me a headache. Break!” The director once again shouted while rubbing his temples.
“Jerk!” Ann shouted while she rolls her eyes.
“Annie –“
“I told you. ANNIE is not my name! Shut the hell up!”
“Jeezz. I was just being nice.” James walked out.
‘When am I going to tell him the truth?’ Ann thought.
