Later that night...
Giselle is currently standing infront of a tall building where Claire, her cousin, works. She just received her salary today, and she thought of inviting Claire to dine out with her tonight..."Hmm... Is she working overtime again?" she wondered to herself.She was about to call her cousin through the mobile phone when someone called her name."--- Giselle? What are you doing here?" Claire instantly smiled when she saw her cousin."Well, I just got my salary, and I was thinking of inviting you to dinner, and enjoy a glass of beer..." Giselle replied.Claire stared at her cousin, while looking a little bit skeptical."Why? Is there any special occasion?" she asks, while trying to be cautious.Giselle rolled her eyes heavenward afterThe next day.Erica was the first one to come to the office. She went straight to Claire's desk because she needs to drop by some documents for her to proofread. A certain black USB caught her attention. It was just lying on Claire's desk.One idea suddenly came to her mind. She looked around the office, and once she made sure that nobody's around, she picked up the USB and hid it in her pocket.She then walked straight to her private office as if nothing happened. And once she sat down on her desk, she quickly plugged the USB on her laptop's portal, and she looked at the files one by one. She opened a folder which is titled "Manuscript Folder" and read its contents.Erica suddenly got interested with one of the scripts there...==================================After a few days...Claire took a deep breath before she knocks at the door of her Boss' private office."Come in!" she heard Boss Erica's voice.Claire immediately opens the door and walks inside the office."Please take a s
Meanwhile.Lance Hudson is driving his wat towards the C Building because he has to show up at their Talent Agency twice a week.Once he parks his car, his mobile phone rang just in time."What is it this time, Nathan?" he asked his Manager immediately."Are you already at the C Building?" Adam asked from the other line."Don't worry, I'm already at the MBN parking lot. And I have no plans to run away like I did before." Lance sarcastically responded."It's good then. I'm on my way now. I'll see you later." Nathan replied.Once their conversation ended, Lance finally steps out from his car.At the same time..."Why did you steal my manuscript, Miss Erica? Why are you pretending that you're the original writer of the script?" Claire finally found the courage to ask her those questions."I don't know what you're saying. You're accusing me of stealing your script? And why would I do that? Do you have any evidence to prove that I stole it from you? Be careful of your words Claire, or else
The next day.Claire is busy collecting her things from her work desk, and she's putting them all inside the cardboard box. She has to hurry because she doesn't want anyone to see her."What a surprise." one snooty voice made Claire glance back.She saw Miss Erica looking at her with a bitchy look.Claire bravely stares back at her. She's not going to back out now. She has to face her and teach her a lesson somehow..."Looks like you're going to resign. I'm glad you've finally come to your senses..." the old woman sarcastically spat out."You're right. I've finally come to my senses. And I think this is the best decision I ever made in my whole life. By the way, I already put my resignation letter on your desk." Claire boldly replied."Oh, well. You can be easily replaced. I won't have a hard time looking for another Assistant." Erica continues on being a bitch."Good luck on that." Claire said, in a matter-of-factly tone."Well, good luck on your career. If you still have one..." Eri
Claire enters the lobby of the BigBang Movie Production where she will have a meeting with the CEO of the company and the Director who will be talking with her regarding the new movie project that is based on her manuscript.Few minutes later, she's already making her way to the CEO Private Office...Claire's whole body is shaking with excitement. Once they entered the Conference Room, she was warmly welcomed by Mr. Jack Thomas, the CEO of the BigBang Movie Production..."Thank you so much for accepting our offer, Claire. You will never regret your decision." the company President said, in a kind manner."Thank you so much for giving me a chance, sir." Claire politely replies"Sit down first and let's talk about the small details while our others aren't here yet... By the way, can I offer you anything like coffee, tea or soda?" the man asked again."Just water, please. Thank you."After a few minutes, they are already discussing the plans for their movie project.Claire can't help he
"We need to shoot most of the scenes at Brentwood Creek, Gramps." Claire explained."But can you do it? Going back there will remind you of that man...'' her Grandpa cautiously said."It happened ages ago, Gramps. I won't be affected by it anymore." Claire was quick to answer.But deep inside her heart, she scared and anxious of what will happen once she steps foot at Brentwood Creek. She would return to that place where she experienced being in love for the first time. And that's where she also experienced her first heartbreak... ============================="Hey, Bernard..."Bernard stops eating his breakfast when his Manager and best friend, Frank, greeted him."Morning, Frank." Bernard greeted him."Ready for the first day of shooting?" Frank asked, as he sat down in a nearby chair."Of course." Bernard replied, as he took a sip from his coffee cup."By the way, have you read the new news about your rival in showbiz?" Frank suddenly asked him."You mean Lance Hudson? Why, is th
At the same time...Although tired, Claire was happy with the outcome of their second day of shooting. Nothing went wrong and he was excited to finish shooting the remaining eight episodes of their television series...She feels a bit sad because they'll be leaving Brentwood Creek in a few days. She will miss a lot of things in this hometown, once they go back to the big city. But she promised herself that she will come back again in the near future..."Claire." She stopped on her tracks when she heard that familiar voice. It was the voice that she will never, ever forget in her whole life.And just like what she thought, it was none other than Bernard Benson. Her childhood friend and her first love."Claire, can we talk?" Bernard pleaded at her.Claire stared at him. No one would ever believe that Bernard Benson, one of the famous actors in the country today, was her childhood sweetheart...================================="What is Bernard Benson doing here?" Lance asked himself, w
"I'm Diana. I'm Claire's younger cousin." Giselle introduces herself."Glad to meet you, Giselle. I'm -----!" Lance was about to introduce himself when Giselle suddenly spoke."Who doesn't know you? You are Lance Hudson and you're one of the most famous and handsome actors in the country. By the way, can I ask for your autograph?" she suddenly requested.Lance couldn't help himself but to smile, while looking at Claire's cousin."Of course."Claire feels that he can get along well with Claire. And when everything goes well, he might also ask for Giselle's help to get closer to Claire... ==============================After a few days...Lance decided to go to Claire's house for a quick visit. Claire's younger cousin, Giselle calls him to inform him that they already left the hospital...Claire's grandfather graciously invited him inside the house. Lance gave him the bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket..."I apologize if I wasn't able to talk to you properly at the hospital. I was s
Los Angeles, California.An elegant-looking woman in her late 60's helplessly sighed as she switches off the television. She leaned her back on the couch as she massaged her temples.Her migraine got worse after watching the Entertainment Show.She stood up to take her medicine for migraine. After drinking the medicine, she walked towards the balcony, and stares at the California night sky. She fell into a deep thought, while thinking about her son..."If you think I'm no longer worried about you since you're already a grown man, then you're sadly mistaken, Lance. I told you from the beginning that you'll never be happy in the showbiz industry. Now it's time for me get you back and help you live a normal life..." the woman whispered to herself.The woman then pulled her mobile phone from her pockets and dialled a number for an airline ticketing office.==================================After a few days.Lance is nervously waiting in a park near Claire's house.
