Liz couldn't sleep after the discussion with Min Ho. She kept peeking at Eddie subconsciously, her conscience filled with guilt. Eddie was her best pal and they've been together for seven years but she failed to realize what Eddie was passing through. She became her road manager, closer to her than anyone else but she failed to learn that Eddie was suffering. She didn't know why Eddie didn't tell her the whole truth two years ago but she couldn't blame her, she was the one who overlooked Eddie’s suffering.“Can you believe what Mr Lee said to me? He's even more worse than before! I can't believe I fell in love with someone like that” Eddie cursed, her eyes darting around as she paced around her bedroom. Liz was sitting on the sofa, absentmindedly. She was looking at Eddie but her mind was somewhere else. She has to meet up with Min Ho tomorrow, she has too. “What's wrong with you? You know, you've been kind of scatterbrained since we both left the Chinese Imperial restaurant” Eddie’s
"Cut! Pass!” the director yelled, clapping his hands and smiling satisfyingly at the people who walked towards him. “Let's rest for some minutes.” She let out a deep breath as she collected the bottle of water from Liz. She sipped unhurriedly, her throat bobbing as she sips. She handed over the bottle of water back to Liz who threw it to one side. “Tell me, how does it feel to work with Song Go Ra,” Liz said with excitement, her eyes sparkling and she was smiling dazzlingly. “Exhilarating! I mean she's so good and she also complimented me! I'm over the blues!” Eddie did her best to hide her excitement but she was just too elated. Song Go Ra is a favored actress who is three years older than her but her beauty was like that of an angel, dazzling and flourishing. She was a star who debuted at the age of six and it has been twenty-four years since she became an actress. Everyone loves Go Ra, she is loving and nice to a newbie actress like Eddie who got lucky to play a role as Go Ra's
It has been two weeks since filming started and Eddie has been busier than usual. She has become friends with Song Go Ra while she remained enemies with Patty. There was a time last week when they both wore the same cloth to the filming site. It was conspicuous that Patty intentionally wore the same cloth as hers to annoy Eddie. The director forced Eddie to change her clothes since she was a newbie and Patty was her senior. Eddie didn't retort nor did she attack Patty, she simply changed her clothes and continued filming. Yesterday, Song Go Ra invited both of them to Spa since today was their day off. Eddie couldn't decline it and instead begged Song Go Ra to let Liz tag along with them. She had promised Liz to have a girl’s day with her on her day off but something else came up. Liz was her best friend and also her manager but Eddie didn't want Liz to feel left out because Eddie had been hanging out with Song Go Ra and Patty. She somehow felt bleak when Liz told her and Song Na Ra t
When Eddie got back to the room, she noticed that something was strange. At first, she thought it was Liz but when she checked around she saw no one. She adjusted her gaze to the table that was not far from her bed. She saw a container on the table and a note left on the container.“Eat these to avoid gaining weight. I won't be coming home tonight, I'm going to the club with my date” Eddie read out the note, her lips curling into a pretty smile. Liz must have felt guilty for leaving me alone, thought Eddie to herself as she opened the container to eat what it contained. She didn't wait to have dinner with Song Go Ra and Patty tonight because she was afraid that Liz would be back in the hotel room. Her conscience pricked her as she was having fun with the Song Go Ra and Patty without Liz. Liz was her manager but also her best pal, she would do anything for her but thinking about how she left Liz to have fun with Patty and Song Go Ra, Eddie felt she was blameworthy.She ate the food and
“Let the doctors treat your arm, Leonard” Kim Min Ho said as he approached Leonard who sat down lifelessly like a person who just lost a family member. He adjusted his gaze to Min Ho who was also pale.“Is the driver here?” Leonard asked indifferently, his eyes fixated on Min Ho who shook his head. Today had been a tragic day. Some hours ago, Min Ho was talking to Liz on the phone when he had a strange commotion, and Liz screamed. He knew immediately that something was wrong and what was wrong is that someone who wants to die prematurely is trying to hurt Eddie and the people around her. Min Ho without wasting time called Leonard and explained to him what just happened and they were right, someone set this up.The person that injured Liz stole her bag which contained their room card. It was very much obvious that the person sneaked in and set the whole room on fire to injure Eddie while Liz is just a tool they used. Min Ho was annoyed when he found out that Liz went out on a blind dat
She blinked her eyes rapidly, gulping down her spit. She saw him pour water into a cup and handed it over to her.“You are not dreaming, just take” Leonard said coolly, one of his hands in his pocket.Eddie was trying to process what happened but her sick brain couldn't. She took the water from him as she was dehydrated. She drank it all in one go. She used her hand to wipe her wet lips, letting out a deep breath as she raised her head to look at the man who was standing casually in front of her.“How… do I get here?” she asked nervously and unhurriedly.“I saved your life, you owe me one” his nonchalant reply riled her up instantly making her let out a scoff while rolling her eyes.“Saved me? I wasn't… holy shit!”The memories that her brain failed to process, rushed in and fear crept into her slowly. She recalled that she saw herself in the middle of fire in the hotel room and she went insentient after that. Was someone trying to kill her? She kept herself away from trouble and even
“What do you mean? You don’t know the hospital she was taken to?! Find her or you lose your Job!” Her fiery eyes showed no sympathy as she yelled on phone. She paced to and fro the big bedroom, water dripping from her wet hair. Her mind was in chaos and breathes growled out of her nose in big huffs.“Honey! The housekeeper left on time today” her husband voiced out, opening their bedroom door and seeing the angry expression on his wife's face, he frowned. “Is something wrong?” he asked in a concerned tone, walking to his wife who had quickly change the expression on her face.“Nothing, it's work related” she replied softly like she wasn't the one who growled on phone the other time.Her husband didn't ask her questions, he simply walked to the bathroom to have a bath. When he came back his wife was applying some cream to her face. He took the opportunity to tease her as he went over and planted a kiss on her cheek.“Darling, your face is glowing. I don't know why you are using this cr
“I talked to her nicely but she didn't believe me. Was it my fault?” Leonard uttered, his eyes fixated on his phone and his legs crossed. He raised his head to look at Min Ho who was sulking because Eddie fainted again. “You should have to hold her back and speak gentlemanly to her. I wonder how Miss Anna is going to cope after you guys get married” Min Ho responded, stressing the word ‘married’. His boss has always been unpredictable. They've worked together for over nine years but Min Ho has never tried to predict his boss’ actions. “Go and talk with your girlfriend. Don't bother me” Leonard said nonchalantly, his gaze still on his phone. “Hehe! What girlfriend?! I'm a gentleman you know” Min Ho slapped his cheeks repeatedly, trying to wipe his face from embarrassment. He gasped a little after recalling something. “Mr. Lee, I've seen someone that could help with our project. He's older than Vince and he's living in America. He graduated two years ago. His name is Ethan Brooks an
*An hour ago*“Leonard will arrive at the airport by seven?!” the excitement in her voice was evident and a subtle smile appeared on her face as she placed her phone on the couch. She dashed to her room to look for a dress to wear. The last time she saw him was when they both went to pick a dress and he left early that day. She does call him every day to check on him and wasn't fazed by the fact that he never calls her except if the reason is only a business matter. She didn't mind because, to her, Leonard was cold to everyone. He agreed to marry her, that's more than enough for me. She wore a black tank top, denim shorts, and a black coat. A mask covered half of her face, revealing a pair of lovely eyes. She packed her hair in a bun and covered it with a black head warmer. Gaping at her reflection in the mirror, she removed her mask and applied makeup on her face. Anna got to the airport exactly thirty minutes passed six. She covered her face with her mask and got down from the ca
*Seoul International Airport*Min Ho waved his hand at the handsome blonde man who had a weird expression on his face. The blonde man pulled his luggage faster, his eyes brightening up as he recognized the person that was waiting for him. “You must be from Flap Automobile, right?” The blonde man asked and Min Ho nodded his head before helping the blonde man with his luggage. “Hello, Mr. Ethan Brooks. I'm Kim Min Ho by name, nice to meet you” Min Ho said as he walk with Ethan to the car. “Nice to meet you too!” Ethan smiled as he glanced around the bustling area of the airport. This was his first time in South Korea and the feeling he got was great. He doesn't know if he was going to stay in Seoul but he was grateful and lucky he got a great job after staying at home for two years, working in his father's bakery and taking care of his younger siblings. Life had taken a toll on him but he moved on and kept inventing things that would be useful for his family. He didn't know how Flap
And at that moment everyone knew that the filming of the Korean drama, Personal Vendetta will be delayed or canceled permanently. Eddie was shocked when Song Go Ra was arrested for attempted murder, for attempting to murder her! Though there were a million thoughts that she had in mind, she still couldn't believe Song Go Ra could send someone to set her room on fire. Eddie recalled clearly that she went to the Spa with both her and Patty. She came back and ate the meal she thought Liz got for her which made her fall asleep and when she woke up, the room was on fire. It did make sense a little but why would Song Go Ra wants to kill her? Is Go Ra working for her stepmother? Eddie didn't know what to say, she could only stare in disbelief as the men dragged Go Ra and Patty to the bus they came with. The director bursts into tears when he saw that his movie was ruined. First, it was Eddie but now it's two of the best actresses in South Korea. If Eddie was the only one involved in the me
Leah's body was battered brutally and would need to be hospitalized for a few days. She was unconscious when they found her at the uncompleted building with her body seeping with fresh blood. Oh Min U's eyes were filled with tears when she saw Leah's unconscious body. The man that abducted her was an average man from one of the local gangs in the local neighborhood. He was easily recognized as the Lee security organization was more active and secure than the police and prosecution. Of course, they are going to hand him over to the prosecution after finding his accomplice but he has to be punished for kidnapping a member of the Lee family. Leah woke up on the third day, and her minor wound completely healed. She saw Oh Min U beside her bed, his head laying on the hospital bed. Her eyes darkened, tears rolling from her face as she remembered what she went through in the unconscious building. She was only there for two days and her whole body was whipped with a steel-like weapon. Of cour
“CEO Oh, why don't we use the beautiful lady that promoted the main design two years ago at the Palatial auction hall” a young man probably in his mid-thirties suggested, his oval eyes blinking as he awaits the response of Oh Min U, the CEO of Starry exquisite wears. This year's fashion show was postponed till the end of the year due to some reasons and all the workers have been extremely busy because of that. The year was coming to an end, they had to be quick about the preparation of the show. “That seems like a good idea. If we allow her to wear the main design on the runway, it's going to be exemplary, don't you think?”“I will talk to her and get back to you later. We will have a meeting again before the end of the week, be prepared” Oh Min U declared. “About the theme of the event, Mrs. Han should see him before the end of today and Mr. Ji should have a meeting with the finance department.”He stood up after saying that and left with his assistant. “Has she called back?” he
Eddie could only stare at Liz who was smiling sickly at her. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her hand somewhat fiercely. “Hey! What the hell is happening?” She asked, grinding her teeth in anxious worry as her neck grew corded with tension. “Yesterday, someone posted something bad about you and I only found out when I went to the agency” Liz paused, letting out a deep breath as she allowed Eddie to drag her to the sofa. “The brands we signed with wants to terminate your contract and the director wants to change your role. I was agitated, I mean we worked so hard to get here and something bad is happening when it’s not even up to a year. I felt really sad but we got help from your sponsor and everything is back to normal.” “What do you mean got help from my sponsor? You mean Mr. Lee?” her eyes widened in shock. She used her hand to support her hand from falling off. “I owe him one again!” Liz explained to Eddie how Mr. Lee helped her and what the post contained. With a determined look,
Eddie clamped her two hands together, her gaze fixed on them. She was feeling better now and didn't feel like staying home again. Her feet were sore and her face was void of emotion. If what happened didn't happen, she would be at the shooting site filming with Song Go Ra. She reminisced what happened during the last few days and a tear escaped her right eye. She was almost killed and Liz was almost killed too. Was her stepmother that heartless? When she regained her memories, she was disheartened. She had a stepbrother and they got along quite well because they were of the same age but she was a month and a half older than him. Her stepmother was the problem, she made Eddie’s stepbrother compete with Eddie in almost everything and soon they became rivals, both in school and at home. Eddie's mother, Daisy Hemsworth had nothing against her husband's wife because she wasn't interested in her but little did Eddie and her mother knows that ignoring Eddie’s stepmother was going to cha
His eyes darkened as he read the post Min Ho showed him. He scrolled down, his lips curling into a smirk. He returned the phone to Min Ho, raising his brows. “Delete the post and find that Man” he uttered coldly. A post was made online by an anonymous source but it caused tremendous havoc in Seoul. The newbie actress who studied in America, Eddie Hemsworth who was previously involved in a fire accident was said to have set her room up on purpose after taking drugs the night of the incident. The post also said that Eddie was a drug addict and was under treatment. It was so funny that everyone believed this and the number of followers Eddie has decreased drastically. After Min Ho left the office, he called Liz. He knew that Liz cared so much about Eddie and that what was happening currently is a bad thing since Eddie didn't know about it. He had instructed Liz to keep Eddie's phone from her. This was the life of a celebrity, there are always haters who would want to drag them down. N
Logan broadened his eyes, trying to process his thoughts. He was aware that his brother didn't like Anna but what does he mean by he won't get married to her after announcing to the world that they were getting married? He took a sip from his wine, wondering if Leonard was kidding him. But Leonard doesn't joke and the situation right now… is not a situation where both of them could joke. “Hyung” he called, “Seriously, I don't know what to say.” [TN: Hyung is a Korean term for older brother used by males only. Hyung is not only used to call a biological older brother but it could also be used to call a male friend who is older that the junior male.]“I just want you to know. No one knows what the future beholds” Leonard's face was neutral like what he said was something that won't surprise anyone. He doesn't know why he told Logan his intention but it's good if he’s aware. They never had a real conversation for two years. But when Logan was in America, their relationship was better t
