202 TALL AND MAJESTIC HEROINE (1/2)

”Hu Lei, you will be the first guest on the show. The producer and the host would like to do a short section with you before the movie cast comes on.” The new manager looked at Hu Lei with a nervous look in her eyes.

Hu Lei nodded at the repeated reminder. The new manager, Rong Fe, was much younger than Lan Jie, and it seemed like she feared that she would run off at any moment. She had not left her side since their initial meeting.

”It will be alright, Sister Rong.”

From another area of the dressing room, Wang Yue looked at Hu Lei with dissatisfaction in her eyes. She had thought that she had finally been rid of the annoyance. But it had not even been three days and she had already returned.

As a person, she did not dislike Hu Lei. However, she had seen the look in Ben Gong Hai's eyes when the woman had entered. He had lost interest in their conversation. It was as if she had ceased to exist. How could she take such a blow to her pride?

There was a light knock on the door. ”We are starting.”

Hu Lei took a deep breath and willed her heart to slow down. She knew that she was no longer part of the dark world, but there was a visceral rejection in her to be in the limelight. She had always walked in the shadows, merging with the darkness.

But she was not Jane anymore. She told herself as she stood up and walked out of the door.

'You will always be Jane.' A darker voice spoke to her.

She suppressed the wisp of darkness creeping through the edges of her consciousness. And her eyes focussed on the screen showing the beautiful host of Next Moment making jokes and introducing the theme of the show. Then, the official trailer of The Queen of the Apocalypse played.

”Our first guest is the genius mind behind the TQA book. Give a warm welcome to the lovely, Little Ninja Cat.”

Hu Lei took a deep breath and stepped onto the scene amid the applause. She shook the host's hands and waved at the studio audience and the camera just as she had been instructed before sitting down.

”She is cute. Isn't she cute?” There was thundering applause. ”Now, tell us, did you decide on the name Little Ninja Cat because of your appearance?”

Hu Lei laughed a little. ”Not exactly. I was young and foolish, and I loved ninjas and cats. It was a rushed decision.”
