CHAPTER 156—ThreatNishane’s Point of ViewEVEN though I'm not looking at Olive, I can feel her evil gaze on me. We are here today in the private office of the network bosses and we are going to talk about the fight we had the other day on the set. If it's just me, I'm ready to lower my pride and willing to negotiate, but from what I see now with Olive, she's not ready for that. Her pride is very high.In front of us are the three bosses and also the director who was insulted by Olive in the past. The director gave Olive a bad look but for me he just shook his head. I'm also very nervous but I just don't give it any attention. It looks like I'm going to have a problem because of Olive's immaturity."Isn't there something you want to explain to us, Miss Nishane, Miss Olive?" asked Mr. Tuviera. Olive looked at both of us."Ah—""I'll go first." Olive's aura was steady when she spoke, causing me to stop what I was going to say. She even rolled her eyes when she looked at me for a moment.
CHAPTER 157—Successful DealKhlea’s Point of View"THANK you for today, Mr. Takizuma," Luna said when she shook hands with the Japanese investor we were meeting with this morning. This is just the first investor we have talked to since we arrived here in Japan three days ago. In truth, I was ashamed of Luna because I was a burden to her. Since I have had the flu for the past few days, the meetings have been delayed. Fortunately, we were able to ask the investors to reschedule the meetings."Thank you, sir," I said when I took the hand. We let Mr. Takizuma went first. When Luna and I left me inside that private room, we both breathed a sigh of relief. We closed the deal and I know Luna was very relieved. Because her daddy's expectations are high that she will get the investors to agree to continue the deal with their company.Even though I have a lot of trust in her that she can make it successful and I have not been disappointed. I smiled at her then sat down seeing that she had alrea
CHAPTER 158—Solid SlapNishane's Point of ViewA SOLID and extremely strong slap landed on my cheek from Olive's palm. I know it's just acting, but I think it's mixed with anger. I won't be surprised anymore because I know that she is really angry with me.Ever since our bosses talked to us at the network we work at, I've gotten even more bad looks from Olive. Every day his gaze on me gets worse and worse. If only the look was deadly, I might be dead.“Cut!” shouted the director.My staff came to me and immediately checked to see if I was okay. "Miss Nishane, are you all right? Doesn't it seem like Miss Olive's slap was too strong?" Aubrey very carefully removed the few strands of my hair that had landed on my face. They pulled me into my tent.I almost winced in pain as I struggled to straighten my neck. The slap was really strong, causing my neck to lock."Miss Nishane, sit down first." My staff supported me as I held back tears on set.When I glanced at Olive, her smile at me seeme
CHAPTER 159Nishane’s Point of ViewAS I expected, the news about Olive's removal spread quickly. Many sympathized with her but more said that her behavior was really bad and she deserved to lose the project. Olive really wasted a good opportunity. The other news I hear is that some of its endorsers who are really well-known brands have withdrawn.I feel sorry for Olive but I feel even more sorry if I let her continue working with me. What was happening was very toxic. We always fight and I'm not happy. Why is it necessary to lead us to the hospital when we can be professional when we are at work? If it was me, I wouldn't have punished her. It's just that she's so mad at me that she can't put her feelings aside."Today, we will meet the new actess who will replace Olive. Are you excited?” asked the emcee. We were at a sudden press conference with other actors who also belong to the series that I will be starring in.I didn't answer but my smile was wide. I already have an idea because
CHAPTER 160—Good and Bad NewsNishane’s Point of ViewI WAS still on the balcony thinking about whether I should call Clifford now or just let him open. I really want to call him now so that he can insert me into his schedule again tomorrow. I know it's embarrassing because I'll bother him again but I can't think of anything else. I don't want to bother him and will only tell my plan on my phone.It's still early and I think Clifford is still awake at such an hour. I immediately sat down to call his number. No one answers and it's just a ring. I typed a text message and asked if he was free tomorrow. I still haven't received a reply so I thought maybe tomorrow I will receive an answer like the first time I messaged him. Because I was cold and chilling, I went inside."Have you spoken to Clifford?" Mirae asked from outside. She threw trash and went to the sink to wash her hands."I tried to call but there was no answer. I texted again but no reply yet. Maybe I'll reply tomorrow because
CHAPTER 161—She Kissed HerKhlea's Point if View"ARE you excited yet?" Luna asked me when we got dressed. When we woke up, she told me to get dressed because we had somewhere to go. She didn't say where so I really have no idea.“A bit. You don't want to tell me where we're going." She just smiled at me so I just let her. Our travel time was a few minutes before we got out of the car.I WAS amazed as my eyes looked at the entirety of the yacht that Luna and I climbed on. Luna held my hand because I was a little dizzy from the waves of the sea. There are acquaintances congratulating her. I don't know any of them. Nothing familiar to me.But in the way they dress, complexions will show the luxury of life. There were also male guests who were also talking to Luna and focused their attention on me.I just smiled and tried to hide the nervousness I felt. When a server came by to serve drinks, I immediately grabbed a goblet of golden liquid.Luna and I looked at each other. He frowned when
CHAPTER 162—Forgetting Something AgainKhlea's Point of ViewAT FIRST I was very surprised but when I saw Luna's sweet lips that seemed to be teasing me, I felt so sleepy that my eyelids closed on their own.I don't know about such things but my lips spontaneously responded to her kiss. Luna's way of kissing was intoxicating. Slowly and seemingly savoring every moment our lips touch. Luna moved and moved closer to me. I didn't object but I responded to her kiss.Luna's lips moved away from mine so I opened my eyes. Our bodies are still touching today. Luna looked at my face again and brought her lips to my forehead. It was as if a warm palm caressed my heart because of what she did. I closed my eyes. My hands are clinging to her arms."Thank you for coming with me," she said, then hugged me.I'm not sure if the heartbeat I feel and hear is mine. It's like the strength of that.I just smiled at her as she walked away from me. "You're always welcome, Miss Luna," I said. "It's just work
CHAPTER 163—Press Conference Nishane's Point of ViewMY heart was filled with anger because the fake news created by Olive spread immediately. I didn't think that her attitude was so bad that she could ruin my business just because she was jealous of me. I can't accept that the business that we worked hard for as friends was just ruined because of her story.I clenched my palms as I looked at the CCTV footage where it was obvious how the drinks ordered by the customers were being made throughout the day. We have experienced CCTV, police and reporters in front of us because we need to clear the name of my business. I was so angry that I had the police pick up Olive from the shop. I thought I was going to have a heart attack because I felt my neck thicken with anger."As you can see in the full video from the CCTV footage, around 8:15 to 9 o'clock at night it is obvious how the drinks are made. Olive didn't come to my coffee shop either and we are looking for the person she said bought
