"I am not manager for either of them. What will I do by being there with them" Jungkook chuckled.
"But, still. If someone…..wait, wait, wait. What did you just say right now?" Lisa asked totally confused.
She still doesn't know that her Jasper will be her manager.
Jungkook chuckled and pinched her cheek lovingly. He lightly pecked her lips and whispered, "Yep. I am your manager baby girl. We can have an office romance you know"
Lisa just blinked her eyes and looked at him with same wide eyes. "Office?" she asked. As far as she remembers, they have decided not to reveal the close connection between Jeon corporations and ADORN.
And, Jungkook of course understood what she was thinking.
"Hmm…..there isn't a rule that office romance should happen only in your fianceé's office. I wanted to do it in my baby girl's working place" Jungkook seductively winked and suddenly pulled her into his hug.
Lisa couldn't help but close her eyes in anticipation as his lips closed in. But Jungkook didn't do anything but to look at her lovingly.
He knew she is nervous. Today, isn't just her photo shoot but also an audition for a movie in which Pranpriya dreamt to play a role. It was her last wish before she quit her career.
Because of this, Lisa decided to take a role in that movie. However, the director of the movie is so choosy but to their luck, he really has very great expectations on Pranpriya.
So, when he got to know about Pranpriya's wish to work with him, he decided to drop by and check her acting skills.
He wanted his actors to be so natural because he always prefers the actors who are born with the skills. So, he just informed about his arrival to her manger who is none other than Jungkook.
When Lisa got to know this, she is nervous ever since.
"I have hopes in my baby girl that she can do this. I know that you are nervous and little worried….I understand. Modelling might be your dream but you never did it and you suddenly have to act as a supermodel and show off your acting skills to one of the best director…but Lali, I do believe that you are far more capable and potent than you think." Jungkook caressed her cheeks with one hand while his other hand held her nervous hand.
"I know my Lali….she is the wonderful woman I have ever met and I am damn sure that she has her own tricks rolled up in her sleeves. But, baby…..don't try to prove yourself as good as Pranpriya. Be yourself and do it with the passion rather than worrying if you met the expectations or not" he comforted her and hugged her.
Lisa's eyes brimmed with tears that she couldn't help but bury her face in his chest. No one has ever believed and trusted her like this, not even herself. But, whereas, Jungkook….
She just can't express how lucky she is to have him.
"Thanks Kook baby. I will never break your trust" she told him with her eyes glistening as she kissed him.
Jungkook chuckled and rubbed her bare back with his warm hands. "It's not about my trust. It is about your confidence Lali. I just don't want you hide yourself from showing how wonderful you are" he told and wiped off her tears at the corner of her eye.
Kissing it, he swept his hands in her loosened hair.
"Shall we" he asked extending his hand. It is her time to take a first step of her childhood dream.
…..
After two hours….
Everyone are sitting rooted to their seats. First, Pranpriya has done her photo shoot with Jin for magazine.
And, it has gone well and smooth. Their was no any awkward or nervous situations between Jin and Pranpriya.
Though they are meeting for the first time and this was their first shoot, they easily mingled up with each other as if they are close friends who meet everyday and live next doors.
At least that is what they have thought.
But little others know that what they think is absolutely right.
Later, the director who have came to test Pranpriya's acting skills gave her a script and asked her to prepare for role play which will be held after half an hour.
The script is simple but the emotions she has to express are the most complex ones.
However, she felt it is close to her life.
The scene for which she has to act in is that she is love with another man, but comes into the life of male lead to betray him for someone else.
Later she realize her mistake and feel regret for what all she has done. In addition to this, in the time she spent with the male lead all she felt is warmth and bliss. This made her realize that she is actually in love with the male lead.
After thinking a lot, she comes to a decision to confess to him and ask for his forgiveness. For that, she is ready to do anything and go to any lengths.
Meanwhile, Lisa who is in the room she is provided with started feeling very emotional that she sniffled her sobs continuously while her eyes slowly turned red.
It is exactly what she must have did in her past life. But she was so silly to come to conclusion that Jungkook wouldn't forgive her. She was afraid that in that span of their separation, Hanbin would attack him.
She never got the chance to confess to him just like how this female lead did.
As the half an hour got finished, Lisa is summoned outside.
Everyone are excitingly waiting to see Pranpriya's acting skills…..more importantly Emma.
"You ready, Ms. Manoban?" the director asked.
Lisa nodded her head and she was already emotional. It made director more pleased because it depicted how deep Pranpriya is into the acting.
It made him impressed but he is yet to know that the scene which she will be playing is actually a piece in her life that she badly wanted to do and couldn't make her decision in right time.
"Well, it's awesome. But we need someone to act as the male lead here so that you can confess. Hmm….whom should we take??" the director cheerfully told as he looked around to find a right guy.
He looked at Jin and then looked at Jungkook who is looking intently at his soon to be actress (Lisa).
He can see the love in his eyes and instantly he figured it out that the handsome man at the corner have feelings for his actress.
"Mr. Jungkook, could you help us in Ms. Pranpriya's role play. I mean, if you don't mind can you act as her lover for whom she has to confess" the director politely asked.
For one or other reason, he felt like Jungkook is no ordinary man and he must respect him. Somehow, the director felt that Jungkook is here for the woman he loves but not for a job.
Meanwhile, Jungkook instantly agreed. He gladly will share this moment with his baby girl.
What a fate!!
His baby is having her first acting scene with none other than himself. It made him very happy and in the same time, even Lisa felt emotional.
She wanted to confess her feelings very badly but wasn't able to do it!! Now, she can just recreate her own moment in her this….
"Well, it's done. We can start Pranpriya. All the best" the director said and gestured her to start.
Lisa kneeled down and her face instantly agonized. Pain, fear, distress, self mockery and self loathe….they all are clearly evident on her face.
Meanwhile, everyone are shocked because she kneeled down. They didn't specifically write it in the script that she should kneel down. However they told that she can improvise it.
On the other hand, Jungkook's heart twisted seeing the expression on her face. He badly wanted to hug her and comfort her however, he is helpless now and could only see her drown in sorrow.
But the way she just kneeled down….it made him feel really bad.
As Lisa started confessing, the whole environment around her became heavy and melancholic. Everyone could feel that sad and depressing vibes from her….
And her every word is coated with heaviness and it sounded so heart touching that most of the persons with sensitive hearts started to sob.
All of them couldn't help but think that she is a wonderful actress than they have thought her to be.
However, none of them knows that it is not acting but the deepest and purest feelings from Lisa's heart.
Not even a single word she spoke now is a lie. In her past life she had thought about this scenario many times over and over in her mind. But she couldn't muster up her energy to confess to Jungkook and they didn't had much time left back then.
Meanwhile, Jungkook is stunned to his core. Out of all the scenes to act on, why did director chose this topic!!
Did someone had done this intentionally??
Were they trying to warn or hint something?
