"CUT!!!" The director yelled in satisfaction, indicating that the screenplay had ended. Truth be told, he was kinda surprised to know that a completely inexperienced newbie was able to act decently even though it was his first time. Although it is true that he wasn't as good as an A-lister actor with years of experience in the field, the Omega certainly has the potential. He's simply still a diamond in the rough and he could not have been happier with it because this just means they could soon start taping without giving Fyre Long longer acting lessons.
"Great job everyone!" the director yelled again before he reviewed the footage he had taken. Despite the fact that the scene won't make it to the final cut, he was very much satisfied with it, especially since the male lead they have chosen perfectly contrasted the Omega's appearance. They looked good together and they had chemistry. Even though he wasn't as popular as Duke, they have made the right choice in agreeing to replace him.
Meanwhile, sighing in relief, Fyre gladly accepted the bottled water Julie offered to him after the screenplay had finally finished. He did not expect that he would not only be forced to wear female clothing today but also had to act in front of all these people. Thankfully, even though he was nervous and had no idea what he was doing in most parts, the director was nice enough to instruct him and he believed he did well and for now, he was satisfied with that.
Of course, he was well aware he'll have to do this when the taping finally starts but he had yet to mentally prepare himself. However, perhaps today's event had compelled him to finally do so.
"Good job! The director was quite pleased. I never doubt Remi's words when he said you had the talent for it," Julie complimented, making Fyre roll his eyes. After all, he's still upset that the woman had taken so many pictures of him in female clothing and he didn't even have the energy to retaliate because he was physically and mentally exhausted.
"Whatever, anyway what time is it?"
"Oh, it's already 12:30, I've already prepared your lunch. After that, I can drive you to the hospital. Which hospital are we talking about?"
"No, it's okay. I actually have someone who will pick me up. As for the lunch, I'll eat it on the way," Fyre replied in a hurry and quickly walked towards his crossbody bag and took out his phone. Because it was on silent mode since earlier, he didn't know that he had 26 miscalls and 10 messages from Tian Zi. Fyre immediately read the messages and when he found out that the Alpha was outside the building, he straight away called his number. Thankfully, the second his call started to ring, the line quickly connected.
"Hello? Are you really outside right now? How long have you been waiting there?" Fyre said as soon as they connected.
[Yeah, no need to worry. It hasn't been a while since I got here... Anyway, are you done? Did you eat lunch?]
"Yeah we just finished but I haven't had lunch yet... Wait, let me ask Ms. Walker if I can get you in. I still have to change clothes..." Fyre said before he faced Julie. "Zi's outside, can he come in?" He asked and as expected, who was she to decline so Julie nodded.
"It's okay. I'll call the security to let him in. I'll also have someone pick up along the way..." Julie replied and soon proceeded to do so.
"You can go in. Come and find me, I can't really talk right now so see you soon. Just sit still in the lobby and someone will pick you up, okay?" Fyre excused, seeing that the director and the male lead actor were approaching his direction.
[Okay, I love you,]
"Yeah, I love you too," Fyre chuckled, whispering his response before finally, their brief call ended with Fyre facing the director handshaking him for a job well done, and the male lead as well wanting to know more about Fyre. Meanwhile, Tian Zi felt a little dejected that his lover was so busy to even talk to him longer but he quickly recovered thinking he can't do anything about it now and since he was going to see him soon anyway.
Stepping out of his vehicle, Tian Zi put on his sunglasses before he headed towards the security. Meanwhile, the security just finished talking to someone on his walky-talky, and when he saw Tian Zi, he immediately knew he was the person the caller was talking about and quickly let the Alpha in. Since Sunrise is the workplace of many famous celebrities, the security was tight. Not just anyone could get in unless they had special permission or an identity card that they worked there.
Nodding at the security as his thanks, Tian Zi proceeded to walk inside the building and the said lobby. There was a waiting area there so he sat on one of the chairs, patiently waiting while busying himself with his mobile phone and completely oblivious to the fact that the moment he went inside the building, all eyes were directed at him.
As usual, he was only wearing simple attire which was plain black trendy shorts that was just a little above his knees, a striped navy-blue and white t-shirt that ever so slightly hid his build, and limited edition Adidas shoes. The only accessory he had was his sunglasses and Rolex but he looked so classy that anyone passing by wouldn't be able to keep their eyes off of him. Tian Zi was the epitome of a good-looking man and at the same time, his whole aura just screams the title 'young master' on top of his head.
While most actors are neat and good-looking because that's how they sell themselves but unlike Tian Zi, something about his mannerism gives off the vibe that he absolutely grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Of course, who would think he was the rumored Mo Tian Zi? Even though it was widely spread that he founded his tech company not too long ago and a successful businessman at such a young age, the majority of the people who had not seen him yet still think he was the weirdo third son of the Mo family who was insecure of his looks as compared to his older brothers and so he didn't like his pictures being taken. And even when it was indeed taken in pictures, it would soon disappear as if it never existed.
It used to be such a mystery but now knowing that the young Alpha was a computer genius, everyone discovered that he himself takes out all the pictures that included him and is never seen again.
"Uhmm, excuse me? Are you Mr. Zi?" One female attention nervously approached. "Ms. Julie told me to find you and escort you to the dressing room," she continued, not expecting he was going to meet such a handsome guy when she had been so stressed out lately and was not in her best condition. If she knew she was going to pick up a handsome man like the person in front of her now, she would have at least treated herself with a facemask to at least brighten her complexion a bit.
Alas, now she had to walk alongside such a man with her overall appearance looking out of place even though she tried her best. As someone working in a place where literally famous celebrities walked by each day, she couldn't help feeling small.
"Yes, that's me," Tian Zi replied with a brief smile and that was enough for the female attendant to melt her weak heart that she had to quickly turn around in embarrassment.
"P-Please come with me," she hastily instructed and proceeded to walk away, which Tian Zi found odd being treated as if he did something wrong but he followed anyway brushing the thought off. Thankfully, the walk wasn't too long and the second they arrived at the door with a star plastered on it, the female attendant then informed him with a bow and left almost immediately.
"Thank you for—" Tian Zi wasn't able to finish his words when the woman was already rushing away, leaving Tian Zi hanging and even more confused which then made him subconsciously smell himself thinking it might be because he smelled bad. But fortunately, it didn't seem like it was that since he did take a bath before he left the house earlier.
Shrugging his shoulders, forgetting about it, Tian Zi then proceeded to knock on the door expecting his lover to open it but unfortunately, it wasn't.
"Yes? O-Oh my god! Are you here to apply for the PA position?" The man asked in a high-pitched tone after briefly turning shocked at the gorgeous man in front of him. On the other hand, a slight frown reached his eyebrows before he looked further at the back and spotted no Fyre in the room.
"Is this Mr. Long's dressing room?" Tian Zi asked, awkwardly, thinking maybe the female attendant led him to the wrong room.
"Oh yes yes. Silly me, are you his friend? Fyre still hasn't come back yet but you can wait inside if you want. They'll be here in 5 minutes or so. I'm Victor, by the way, Fyre's new make-up artist." The male make-up artist introduced himself, flicking his lashes at Tian Zi which the Alpha finds it a bit awkward but he smiled anyway and introduced himself as well.
"I'm Tian Zi..." Tian Zi simply said and before he could say what his relationship with Fyre was, the door to the room suddenly opened and four people came in. At first glance, there were three women and a guy but upon further inspection, one of the four was actually Fyre in female clothing. And Tian Zi was right because as soon as Fyre saw the Alpha, his face brightened from the exhausted one before he rushed to him and they hugged.
"Zi~" Fyre chanted happily. It hasn't been a day since they last saw each other but suddenly being with so many unfamiliar people since this morning, he couldn't help but miss his lover's handsome face.
"I'm sorry you had to wait, I didn't know it would take this long," Fyre explained, forgetting that he was still in his female attire and that Tian Zi was still stunned at his appearance. Although he had already seen it before and on the video from Hanlu earlier, seeing it in person had a different effect. There's no doubt he liked the true Fyre more but it's refreshing to see another side of him sometimes.
"It's fine... but, can I take a picture with you?" Tian Zi suddenly asked because he knew how much the Omega hated being photographed in female clothing and he might not be able to have the same opportunity in the future. Meanwhile, looking at the two, Victor secretly whispered to Julie asking who Tian Zi was and the moment she replied, Victor gasped.
"OMG! He's the fiance!" Victor couldn't help but exclaim. He knew Fyre was engaged earlier because the Omega refused to take off a certain red engagement ring but he didn't really think the fiance was this gorgeous-looking man.
"Sorry for the late introduction. My name is Mo Tian Zi... Fyre's fiance," Tian Zi chuckled at the sudden exclamation but he couldn't be more prouder to introduce himself as the fiance.
"Oh my fucking God! Gurl, you won!" Victor exclaimed again, after a brief realization hearing the Alpha's whole name. Well, now that he had thought about it, who else in town was named Tian Zi except Mo Tian Zi? He should have known by then. Of course, the other two people in the room also thought the same. Who would have thought they would meet a literal young master today? The rumors about him being ugly were not true at all! Who said a face like his is ugly? If he is, then what about those who had normal-looking faces?
"What the?! What do you mean I won?... Anyway, no! No pictures. I'm going to change now," Fyre blushed before he faced Tian Zi and blushed even further, remembering that he still had his wig and dress on.
"Nah Gurl! Give me your phone sir, I'll take the picture," Victor was swift to offer, hearing the couple's conversation which Tian Zi immediately complied quickly handing over his phone with a brief thanks while he grabbed Fyre to pose. Even though the Omega refused, Victor was easily taking videos and pictures at the same time before all of them gasped in shock when the two suddenly started kissing.
"S-Stupid Zi~" Fyre said between their kiss. His whole face and neck turned red before he grabbed onto his lover's arm while hearing the cheerful cheers in the background.
When their kiss separated, Tian Zi was extremely satisfied getting what he wanted while Fyre pouted in annoyance. Unfortunately, from now on, or at least until the movie reaches the big screen, only a few people should know what kind of relationship they actually have.

A/N: Hi, apologize for the late update. My computer finally decided it won't connect to my wifi connection and its battery began to bloat. I thought it would return to normal after a couple of days and connect to my internet despite its condition but it did not and so from now on I will go back to uploading content from my mobile phone. I used to write from my phone anyway so I had no problem adjusting but I must admit it was more convenient to work on a computer and a bigger screen especially when it comes to editing(the basics). Anyway, my goal right now is to buy a new computer since it'll also help me as a student but it might take a while. Still, I have no changes in my schedule but if you want to help me reach my goal faster(hehe), you can go ahead and support me on my Patreon page and in exchange read Love Chase a couple of chapters ahead from others. You can also read the continuation of DBTA/MHMB and if you are interested in MBHP, I also have a couple of chapters advanced there.
P.S. Happy Halloween everyone. I hope you will enjoy your long weekend.
