Secret Love Nest

Alternate World pt2

I am still reeling from that call with Qing and hearing him call someone else his "love".

I tried convincing myself that it's not Qing I talked too but I know my lover's voice, like he knew mine. But Qing is calling someone else his "love" even though he knew I am on the other line.

"Who is this?"

Huh? Why would he ask who is calling? Is my number not registered on his phone? Like his number is not registered on mine. But why? Qing is still using the same number so it means that I am still using the same number.

Or am I? I have a new phone, maybe I changed my number too.

Me: (looking at Seim again, still can't call her my assistant) What is my number?

Seim: (giving me more of "you are acting really weird today" looks) (She recited my number) That is your secured line. We guard those number carefully so no stalker can get it and call you.

Stalker? Who would...

I took a deep breath again. I tried calming down so I can think. I still have my old number, nothing is changed on that but...

Really, what the hell is going on?!

The car stopped and Seim clapped.

Seim: We are here. It's showtime! Please, Dayu please, just for today, don't try anything that will ruin this day. This day is important to you and your career. Please try not to be rude to anyone...

I reeled back again in surprise. Rude? When did I've ever been rude? I am a newbie, I cannot afford to be rude and...

Seim: I know you are a top star and your latest album is selling like hot pancakes here and in the international scene but please, please...try to get a hold of your inner diva? Huh?

My eyes widened at what she said. Who is the top star? Who has an album selling like hot pancakes?

Me?! I mean...my album sale is good and loyal fans are downloading it but I won't say that it's selling like pancakes.

And top star? Who is the top star? I have never considered myself a top star. I am not a top star. Not yet but I do hope my hardwork will pay off one day and my talent and hardwork will be recognized.

I am a celebrity in my own right. But this girl is strectching the truth a bit too far by calling me a top star.

We got out of the car and I almost stumbled on the pavement.

Banners, posters, a big tarpaulin, camera flashes and screaming fans welcomed me when I go out of the van.

Men in severed suits suddenly showed up to try controlling the crowd as they make a space for me so I can walk inside a building.

"Yu ge!"

"Dayu"

"Jian Yu!"

The crowd is screaming and calling my name while camera was alsmot shoved under my nose to take a picture of me as I walk with Seim to get to the door of the building.

A familiar building as this is the building owned by Qing's family. The headquarter of Wang Corps.

When I entered the automatically revolving door I was shocked again when I saw who are welcoming me on the lobby of the building.

Wang Qing's Baba, Qing's Uncle, Wang Zhu gege and Wang Qing himself. Plus twenty more people in severe business attire. What the?!

Why is Qing here and not in Shanghai shooting his drama? I know that they are on the home stretch of their shooting. They are almost finished and Qing is quite proud of that.
