Chapter 31 I am such a great man (1/2)
Both Ryn and Mika were still bickering with Jane staring at them angrily. They really were ignoring this girl, too lazy to even acknowledge her very existence. Was there any point whether they knew her or not? It wouldn't even change their life.
”Mika, the pizza is delicious. Good for you for the extra cheese. Good touch. So brilliant,” Jake laughed as he walked back into the area, patting his full stomach happily.
The crews followed quietly. They threw a grateful smile at Mika. Then they quickly arranged back the equipment.
”We skip that scene. Ryn and the boys go prepare the last scene and it's a wrap,” Jack barked.
”Wait, the last scene? What about me?” Jane finally left Mika and Ryn and rushed to stand in front of Jack.
”Who are you again?” Jack asked in puzzled.
”Daddy!” Jane quickly ran to her father.
”Oh, spoiled little girl. Not important.” Jack turned around and pointed at Ryn, ”One take only.”
”Tell me I don't have to talk with him later,” Ryn muttered under her breath to Mika before quickly pulled a smile and walked to Jack. ”I'll try my best. How's the pizza, Jack? Delicious?”
Her chest was in pain at the thought of this monster devouring the whole pizza without even leaving a small piece for her.
Jack narrowed his eyes before a smile curled on his lips.
”So delicious I finished everything in two whole minutes. It's a giant pizza with extra cheese. It melted in my mouth.”
Ryn gulped hungrily. She glared at Mika, blaming her, ”I'll kill you later.”
”No, you won't. Good luck with the shooting, Miss One Take,” Mika giggled.
Ryn stuck out her tongue at Mika and stormed toward the last scene. She knew what Jack wanted. And she also knew the boys would not give a headache to Jack.
”What do you mean it's the last scene? Jane hasn't been in anything yet,” the CEO growled.
”Who's Jane?”
”Daddy~”
”Move aside. I'm working right now. Boys, on your location. Ryn, stop acting like a kid. Your friend is not important. I am important. Everyone, get ready. And action!”
With a smile on her face, Ryn started telling the viewer to enroll into the university. Her total focus was on the camera, didn't even check what the others were doing. The cheerfulness and happiness radiated from her, into the camera.
”And cut. It's a wrap, people. Finally.”
The boys and the crews cheered.
Ryn blew out a sigh of relief. Finally, it was all done.
She quickly said thank you to Jack and the crews before pulled Mika to the car. She did not want to spend more time here with Jack. That Devil always had his menstrual. Mood swing all the time. Anything could tick him off. Only his talent saved him from being thrown out of the industry.
”Let's go. Let's go.”
”But my show,” Mika put her feet firmly on the ground, refusing to move.
Ryn tried to pull with all her might but Mika could be stubborn as a bull. She groaned and grumbled but Mika ignored everything. Her eyes stared firmly at Jack who was giving his last instruction to the crews while the crews were busy keeping back all their equipment.
”Mika, please,” she begged but the silly childish girl refused.
”Fine. I'll talk to him,” Ryn finally gave in.
She took a deep breath to calm herself. A minute or two should be enough. But it took her almost five minutes to do just that.
She finally took baby steps toward Jack. So slow it almost made Mika screamed in frustration. What happened to her strong and brave best friend?
”What do you want? The shooting is over,” Jack waved Ryn away. His mind was already on the editing part of it.
”I… I would like to make an appointment with you…. For… lunch?”Ryn stuttered.
”Work?”
Ryn glanced back at Mika, then turned to look at Jack. She nodded slowly.
