Chapter 8: An artist is afraid of a screenwriter.

  Mia Joan went to the TV station by herself today because Dilays was busy. Why Dilays Park is always busy because of Mia's book writing. Books written by Mia have always been popular, so there are many publishers who want to buy the copyright, and some books are also translated into other languages. The novel was turned into a movie. Because Mia does not like to show her face to the outside, Dilays always stands to solve everything.

  People like Mia and Peter always have their editor and their manager to handle different tasks. But only the super good can have such many incentives.

  … Hmm…. Because pushing the manuscript was too scary, Peter's editor pushed the job over to Brian.

  Back to the main story, Dilays Park was not at all secure when she let Mia go out alone, because her personality was too cold, so sometimes she was quiet and cold to everyone.

  Mia feels she can go out alone but she's been here two hours and she's already received two calls from Dilays. Now her phone is ringing, obviously, the caller is her manager.

  She had to stop her work and go out to answer the phone.

  As soon as he accepted the call, Dilays began to say non-stop: "Mia, is everything okay there?"

  “Um.”

  “Um, what? You can't just say one word all day, everyone in the film crew talks to you, you can't be so cold."

  “…”

  Having a headache from Dilays' ramblings, Mia suddenly heard a female voice talking very loudly, she didn't want to pay attention but this woman's voice was so harsh. Mia was annoyed, she turned her head to look to the side, and as expected, a person was holding the phone and walking toward her.

  “This movie is already in my hands.”

  "Writer? I don't know who she is, I just need to know the content of "WE" and director William is enough. There's no need to waste time trying to figure out nonsense."

  “Don't worry, difficult scriptwriter? Then she sees you're popular and will choose you." She spoke in a tone of disdain, a smile that was not serious.

  Mia's eyebrows are almost pulled together. She ignored it and continued to listen to what Dilays had to say on the phone. But she was trying to concentrate on listening to what Dilays had to say when a great force hit her thin body, making Mia unable to stand, but staggered back a few steps before she could stabilize her body.

  Right after that, straight into Mia's nose was the strong scent of perfume that made her nose ache, the discomfort in Mia's heart reached its climax. Mia raised her head to look, this woman's face was heavily made up, and she couldn't see her five senses anymore.

  She bumped into Mia, but her face was still arrogant: “Miss, are you walking without looking at the road? Where are your eyes, or are you blind?"

  Mia knew in her heart that this person was some famous female star, so her personality was so arrogant. Originally, Mia wanted to hold back and didn't want to respond, but this person in front of her had a very emaciated personality: “Your mouth should be a little cleaner. Saying things like that makes your mouth dirty.” The answer was, but her voice was still very gentle.

  Mia is angry, her mouth is quite cynical.

  The woman heard Mia and got angry: “You… you dare say my mouth is dirty?”

  Mia calmly nodded: "You're not deaf."

  The woman stomped her feet in anger. Mia thought to herself, beauty has only a little intelligence like that.

  Mia still kept her cold eyes: "You came to the movie casting?"

  Speaking as she could, her face lifted: “That's right. And you? She also came to casting? I'm sorry, you look pretty too but you're not going to win the lead role with me, someone like you will probably get some supporting roles." She answered herself, seemingly confident in herself. After saying that, she put her brightly painted hand on Mia's shoulder and lightly patted it, then showed a very proud expression and left.

  Mia watched the departing figure with complicated eyes. Dilays' call on the phone brought her back to her senses.

  Dilays Park: “Hello? Mia, are you still there?”

  "Still here."

  “What just happened? Who made Mia angry?"

  "Are your ears good?"

  “No need to compliment me, who is it?”

  “Just a madman, I hung up first.”

  …

  Today's casting was held quite large enough to know how influential and important the movie "WE" is. Everyone was present early, they met together to agree on the criteria for casting actors before they could start the movie casting.

    …

  Mia walked to the restroom after finishing a 30-minute meeting, she saw a man blocking the women's restroom. Seeing her approaching, he walked over, looking at her with an eager look: "Miss Joan, you are so beautiful, I have had an interest in you from the very beginning." This guy is the executive producer of the movie “WE” if I remember correctly.

  Mia looked directly into the other's eyes, it made her feel disgusted, and had a feeling of nausea in her stomach: "So?" Along with mocking faces, Mia sensed his filth and meanness, completely different from Peter's cleanliness and gentle eyes.

  His eyes seemed to reveal everything, not hiding anything: “I want you to be my girlfriend. Don't worry, I'll give you everything you want, you'll be much more popular than you are now."

  This is the first time Mia has heard such a funny story: "No need, get out of the way."

  This guy still stopped: "Hey, don't go in a hurry. She also looks gentle and greedy, doesn't she? Every night you serve me well, I will give you more money?”

  Mia is frowning because she feels insulted by this asshole: "You should give these to people who need them, to me, it's dirty."

  Sure enough, Mia's response angered the production manager, who grabbed her hand tightly: "Your mouth is fast, let me try it."

  At this moment, a large hand grabbed his face, almost to the side. Peter Wayne in Mia's eyes now seems to have become a different person, his eyes are almost cold and cruel, he said in a cold voice to the extreme: "Bastard, what the hell are you doing? ? How dare you touch my woman."

  “Author Peter Wayne…” Before he finished speaking, he was punched in the face.

  Shouting here, as if he couldn't stand it, he went to punch this bastard a few times, each punch was very strong: "Your mother, she doesn't have enough money to spend, you think she needs some money your trash. Male slut!"

 Mia was dumbfounded, she was even a little scared of Peter's appearance, waiting for her to come back to her senses, Peter had already beaten people to blood. She rushed over in a panic, her hands clutching at the hem of his shirt, her voice soft: "Peter, stop."

  "Peter, stop."

  Peter's frenzy immediately stopped, he let go of his hand for fear that the force would hurt her, and his eyes immediately turned from fierce to gentle: "Okay, I stopped."

  He still kicked the butt of the guy who was lying on the ground: "Get out!"

  Then gently ask the person next to you: "Are you okay?"

  Mia shook her head. This guy turned around really fast. (I see two very similar people)

  …

  Ten minutes later, Peter helplessly watched Mia who was washing her hands nonstop. He looked down at his red hand, just when he was done punching the other guy, he was also pulled by her to the sink and she washed his hands five times. At first, he enjoyed it, but by the third wash, he started to panic. No wonder she was so sick with cleanliness.

  Mia was going to wash again, but at Peter's begging, she only stopped at the fifth time and let him go.

  Peter counted again, it was already the 11th time she washed her hands. She ignored him, washing her hands diligently as if she'd touched something disgusting.

  Peter decisively walked over to her side, turned off the faucet, and held Mia's hands tightly: "Mia Joan, you can stop now, that's too clean."

  She stared at her hands, muttering, "No, they're still dirty, very dirty."

  Surely she must have experienced some kind of mental shock or psychological obsession to have such a serious cleanliness disease. Peter heard her whisper but his eyes narrowed, in great pain, and his voice softened: "So will you wash my hands again this time? The last time is clean.”

  Mia still frowned, no matter what he did.

  Then Peter pulled her hand back to his makeshift office, gently wiping his small hand with his handkerchief. The hand, which had not had much flesh, was now washed to a large red, and Peter's heart ached a little. Peter lovingly pinched the back of her hand: "Look, they're all red. If you don't grieve, I'll grieve."

  Mia looked at all of this man's gentle actions and words, her mood was a little quieter, it seemed that her heart was sick again, it beat faster. The hand that was lying in the other hand trembled slightly.

  Peter thought she was scared, he hugged her: "Don't be afraid, I beat that bastard." He thinks this is a good opportunity for the woman he loves to have a better impression of him. Just now, when he hit the other guy, he felt that he was too brave and handsome.

  Mia put her hand lightly against his chest, this close contact was unfamiliar to her: "No, I don't feel scared, I feel dirty."

  Peter Wayne: “…”

  The atmosphere was calm and light, with no shortage of ambiguity between the two that was destroyed by a loud cry. The two people did not meet but together raised their heads to look at the door where the noise came from, Bella Kay was standing in front of the door, calling in a very strong voice: "Writer Joan, the casting has started, let's go. .”

  Peter was startled, maybe he was familiar with the soft, gentle voice, so hearing this person's voice gave him a headache: "Mia, your deputy screenwriter has a really scary voice. She can kill people just by talking.”

  Mia nodded slightly in agreement with this statement. Bella saw these two people in the room doing something very shady. Normally, screenwriter Mia is always very cold, but she finds Mia strangely close to the other artist.

  As fans, their idols fall in love, which makes fans uncomfortable with the person who stole their idol, Bella is no exception. Her eyes were like sparks when she saw Peter Wayne still holding her idol's hand tightly, she rushed over, her voice high: "Peter Wayne, quickly let go of my Mia's hand. Get out now!”

  A certain couple was dumbfounded by this voice, and Peter was also irritated: “Your Mia? Hey, she's mine, not yours. I say, your voice has a lot of damage, next time you talk, you should lower it."

  Bella is still an innocent young girl, she forgets that in front of her is a very famous painter, she is so angry that her face is red, she rushes in front of Mia like a mother hen protecting her children: "Brother Don't touch her!"

 "You stand outside, don't block us!"

 "No!"

  Mia looked at the two people who were arguing because they couldn't allow her to touch her hands, they were as childish as two children. The woman's face turned cold: "Is the fight over?" The voice contains no emotion.

  "..." The two immediately fell silent. It's dead, Mia must be angry.

  Bella pulled Mia's hand out: "You follow me there."

  Mia's heart ached with discomfort, she patted Bella's hand: "You let go of my hand."

  Bella was startled, she remembered from what the newspaper said, Mia Joan had a clean disease: "I'm sorry, sister." The eyes are a bit sad.

  Mia knows her body is overreacting again: "Sorry, it's my habit."

  Bella quickly smiled again: "It's okay, I don't mind. Let's go."

  Mia was slightly bewildered at the optimism and joy of the opposite person. She and this girl are only three to four years apart. Bella is active and cheerful, a smile is always on her lips, but she is not. The cheerfulness and brightness of her peers made her jealous. Mia smiled self-deprecatingly.

  Peter was behind, he was on his phone while he was walking, and he was texting Dilays.

  Park: Mia didn't come by car today, I hope you can take her home.

  Wayne: Simple for me.

  Park: Good, I'm very confident.

  Wayne: Dilays Park, I asked you about this.

  Park: What? What's wrong with Mia?

  Wayne: No, she's fine. Mia's cleanliness disease is from childhood or is it… due to something?

  Park: … Because she has something on her mind. Don't ask too many questions, or she will be like a turtle with her neck shrinking away from you.

  Peter looked at the phone screen with a complicated look. The delay in replying to Dilays' messages made him think more and more in pain. Why did his small, weak woman have such terrible things in the past?

  …

  Sitting in her seat, Mia felt a familiar scent, as expected Peter was sitting next to her. Director William clapped his hands: "Come on guys, our casting will begin in five minutes."

  Mia will only attend the casting when casting the male and female leads, and the supporting character she does not participate, leaving the deputy writer present for another day.

  Initially, the actors will participate in the casting first. They are very quick, they answer questions from the writer, producer, and director or Peter, and then act out a scene as requested. Then choose five male leads out of 45 actors to participate in the casting. All went very well, only one or two people had star disease, so they were arrogant and did not cooperate.

  After the male actors went out, they all said, "Writer Joan is so cold, her stern eyes make me shiver." When it was Mia's turn to ask a question, everyone couldn't keep their cool, they all answered in fear.

  Mia didn't know this at all. Because when she focuses on work, her face is usually expressionless, and her eyebrows are also furrowed because of concentration.

  But what people don't know is that the stern artist named Peter while the actor was rehearsing was rubbing her leg with his foot, making Mia angry. As a result, his leather shoes were mercilessly trampled by her high heels.

  Mia took the opportunity to not pay attention, she glared: "You're serious, or else get out!"

  The whole room with 7 people immediately fell silent.

  Everyone was stunned because the author of the original like Peter was always flattered by everyone, otherwise, he was also softly spoken. Mia is also a famous screenwriter, both of which people dare not offend. But Mia is not an ordinary person, she dares to chase him out. Everyone was afraid to think that Peter would be angry with Mia.

  Peter was immediately as obedient as a dog, nodding repeatedly, his hand still on the table like a hardworking student: “Okay, okay. I'm serious here."

  Peter's stupid appearance made the crew hug their stomachs and hold back their laughter, they weren't afraid of Peter but were afraid of Mia so they didn't dare to laugh.

  …
