Rami's POV

"Okay guys, that's a wrap on today's episode!" The director of Mr. Robot shouted for all of us to hear.

It's honestly been a long couple of months for me because I have to say, if I do say so, I've been working extremely hard.

Not only have I been working day in and out for the season finale of Mr. Robot, but I have to start prepping in my new role Bohemian Rhapsody and that means, rehearsal after rehearsal, video after video, meet and get adjusted to new cast mates. Cast mates. I still haven't met the leading lady for this movie.

Honestly, that's the thing that's been in my mind since I first landed this role. What beautiful, young actress was gonna be my love interest for this film. But, I didn't just want any ordinary girl (as if I have a choice in who gets picked). My only wish was for a co star that I could really see myself acting against in this film. Today is the day I find out who this mystery woman is.

I grab my things from my trailer, say goodbye to the crew, and head out to speak with the casting directors for bo rhap.

Before I go to my destination, I grab some coffees from a local cafe, one for me, and Janet, our casting director, and head to her office in downtown L.A.

I pull up to her office and she's already outside of the office with a huge smile on her face, which is contagious I think because I give a great big smile back as well.

"Hello sweetheart, boy do I have news for you!" She greets me with a welcoming huge and kiss on the cheek.

"Enlighten me." I huge back and pass her her coffee that I bought earlier.

We walk into her office and she offers me a seat in which I take because I've had and exhausting day on the set.

"So Rami, I know you've been dying to know who your new co star is and I'm proud to tell you we finally found our girl and I think you're gonna love her."  She says as she takes a sip of her coffee and slides me a picture resume of the lady.

She beautiful, to say the least.

I admire the woman in the sheet of paper as Janet fills me in.

"Here name is Lucy Boynton. She's a young actress from London and I think you two would hit off really well. She really sweet and I've know her from some of the previous projects that she and I have worked on."

Lucy Boynton. Chic. I like that in a woman.

I read over her resume once more and then finally recover from my illusion.

"So, this Lucy lady, has she heard about me ?" I ask, curiously.

Janet takes the resume from me and puts it back in files. "Sure she does and that's why I'm glad to tell you that I've set up a meeting for all the cast members to meet her."

I smile and nod. "Sounds good to me, do you think I could talk with her personally, you know show her around some spots in L.A.?" I suggest.

"Hey Malek, I'm a casting director, not a matchmaker." She quips and we both laugh at that one. I throw my hands up and protest and respond, "Hey, I just wanna get to know her and make her feel comfortable. Who knows, she's probably not even into guys like me, and if she was, this is not what this about." I say even though I'm not even sure if I believe my own words.

"Great!" Janet claps her hands together. "That's up to you what you too beauties do, I'm just in charge of getting you guys together for a meeting of cast and crew and so that everyone is acquainted."

"So when do I get to meet her?" I say taking a sip of my coffee and looking down at my coffee. Janet just looks at me and smiles.

"Sooner than you think, Malek. I set up the meeting and about... 30 mins from now."

I almost aspirated my coffee when the words flew from her mouth.

"30 MINUTES! Why didn't you say so Janet !!" I rush to my car and quickly drive off to my destination. Just as I remember that I honestly have no clue where I'm going, Janet shoots me a text of where the cast and crew members are meeting for the meeting.

Wow. Meeting Lucy is sooner than I was expecting. I really want to make a good impression when I meet her but sweat pants and a plain tee really doesn't say "nice to meet ya".

I really hope this goes well.
