Love of My Life
Chapter 1
I so did not plan this. I mean I know I’ve always wanted freedom but I’m not the kind of girl who just starts an argument with no reason and then be this rebellious girl who walks out of her home and go to a country across the Eurasia plate. No, all of this happened because of my Grandpère, Jean Lefleurier the third, this French royalty who inherited the title Lord Lefleurier which was granted to his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather and whom, if you ask me, is a little bit old-fashioned. So this information is a bit surprising when I first heard it. He married my Grandmère, a beautiful and intelligent Chinese lady whom my Grandpère’s family actually accepted her to be a Lefleurier. (Not that I’m a racist, I mean I completely respect the ancient and elegant Chinese culture but my family back then was a bit old-fashioned although I’m pretty sure that now they are still the same way but that’s out of topic.) Anyways, the point I’m trying to make is that back then he actually threatened his family to accept my Grandmère or he won’t inherit the family title while sixty years later he is trying to make his only granddaughter to be this perfect social machine which is exactly what his parents tried to make him become.
All of this happened the second I stepped home from university for summer vacation. By the way, just in case I haven’t introduced myself, I’m Amélie Lefleurier, 19-year-old, currently attending Academy of Art University in U.S., granddaughter of Lord Jean Lefleurier the Third. However, I’m only ¼ white because my father, my Grandmère (my mother’s mother) and my mother who is already a mixed are all Chinese. So that makes me a quadroon. Oh and before I forget to tell you, both of my parents and my Grandmère died when I was just a baby so I don’t really remember them much. Anyways, back to my fight with my Grandpère. So the second I stepped into my Grandpère’s mansion our old butler Pierre came up to me and said
“Bienvenue home mademoiselle Amélie, Lord Lefleurier would like to see you as soon as you get home.”
“But Pierre, I just got home. I still have loads of stuff to unpack and I’m really tired can’t I get some rest first? You know I just got off the plane.” I was a little bit surprised. It’s not like my Grandpère missed me so that that he can’t wait to see me. I know we haven’t see each other since Christmas but it’s not like he can’t wait for another half an hour.
“Doesn’t matter mademoiselle, Lord Lefleurier bid me to get you to his office as soon as you got home.”
Ok. This is definitely not like my Grandpère. He wants to see me, without showering first and dressing properly like a proper young lady from Lefleurier family. Something is definitely urgent or wrong and later on I found out that the thing he wants to talk to me about is both urgent and wrong.
“Fine Pierre. I’ll go but remember to prepare something for me to eat after my Grandpère is finished. You know the food on the airplane are not food that is for human to eat.”
So I walked upstairs into my Grandpère’s office, totally wondering what is so important when these words jumped into my ears.
“You will be launched into society 10 days later. I’ll have your coming out party arranged these days where you’ll be introduced properly as Lady Lefleurier to the upper class society.”
Um… hello Grandpère, what happened to welcome home darling? Ok I know my Grandpère is not the kind of person who hangs words like darling and sweetie around his mouth but he should at least give me a greeting after haven’t seen me in half a year like a normal person. I was about to ask the question when the words coming out party caught my ears.
“Grandpère, when did we decide on that? A coming out party? How come I don’t know that?”
“Well you know it now. I need to you pick out your dress for the party and get your hair or whatever done in these days so you can be introduced properly as a Lefleurier. That would be a benefit to our family’s glory. And one more thing, I need you to be the properly raised young lady at your party and get to know some young men from the right family so you can marry properly after you graduated from university. ”
“Wait wait, just stop and rewind a little. I never agreed on this coming out party let alone knowing some arrogant snob from what so-called right families.” I guess I was fuming now, but I never liked the idea of being involved in upper society with those snobby people.
“Amélie, this is the family tradition. All the Lefleurier girls who reached the age 19 should be introduced to the upper society. Plus do you know how many girls who dream of your life? I already let you study fashion design in this Art school in U.S., the least gratitude you can show is to listen and follow the family rule like a perfect Lefleurier lady.”
“Grandpère, I want to get into the art university because I want to find a job on my own after I graduate so I can live independently not like those snobby people who can’t even support themselves without the fortune they inherit from their family. Well Grandpère, if this is not what you want then I’m sorry I’m the only one thing in your life that isn’t perfect!”
“Perfect?!! You think my life is perfect?”
“I don’t need to think to know your life is perfect! You have the perfect family, perfect title, perfect company, perfect customers and perfect underlings who worship the ground you walk. Even the press considers you as the perfect noble Lord Lefleurier! But Grandpère, this is my life. I want to live it. I don’t want to be the perfect social machine that this family already generates too many. If I can’t live the life I want then I guess I’m not suitable enough to be a Lefleurier!” I finished my speech and walked out of the door with my head fuming. Downstairs I can hear Pierre is preparing in the kitchen with the maids. I picked up my unpacked suitcase I carried home with me from university and walked out of the house I lived practically all my life along with my name Amélie Lefleurier. From now on, I’m going to live as 方若绮, the name my Grandmère gave to me.

Chapter 2
Like my life isn’t complicated enough. That’s basically the thing I had in my mind the whole time I was on the stage of the restaurant owned by my so-called best friend 莫筱筠’s family. She was totally into the idea of me becoming a celebrity. I mean we are way over the age of fantasizing stuffs yet she blackmailed me into singing in her restaurant so my talent will be discovered by some companies or whatever. If I wasn’t so into that guy I met 10 days ago in the park I probably wouldn’t end up here. Oh great, I’m thinking about him again. Err…. It’s not like I’ve never seen a cute guy…
So I decided to go to Taiwan, my Grandmère’s native land. It’s the place I lived longest beside France since I spent my high school years here as a foreign exchange student. It’s also the place I met my best friend莫筱筠. Normally, a person should be able to know the city she/he spent more than 3 years to live pretty well. However that rule does not apply to me. The moment I stepped off the plane. I knew I am in deep trouble.
Great, just what I need. I brought everything with me including 筱筠’s address yet I did not bring her phone number. Why do I even bother to buy a map considering the fact that I do not know how to read a map. After spent 4 hours circling around the city I totally gave up on my map reading skill and threw away the map I already read over 10 000 times into the garbage can.
“Excuse me miss. Do you need some help?”
I turned around and find me staring at the cutest guy I’ve ever met in my whole life. Omigod, the guy is seriously hot and those killer blue eyes... I mean it’s really unlike me to staring at a guy so intensively and practically drooling all over him but one look at him makes me totally speechless. Believe me I’m the kind of girl who can’t stop talking even if I want to.
“Um… yeah. I guess so. Do you know um… how can I get… um to XXX Street? I can’t find it on the map.” Oh my god, I’m totally sounding like an idiot and it’s happening in front of a cute guy. Who is going to believe that a 19-year-old can’t read a map? That guy must think I’m mentally challenged. For the first time in my life, I totally regret of not bothering my geography teacher to teach me some map reading skill.
“Oh, that street is right at the other end of the park.” Now I really am an idiot. That’s the road I walked by 3 times without knowing it. Since I already sound like an idiot I guess one more question wouldn’t hurt so I asked him “Then do you know where 民歌餐厅is?”
“You can walk along this path to the park’s entrance. The restaurant is right across the road from that.” Thank god the guy isn’t looking at me like I’m some sort of weird idiot who can’t find her way around. No, he just looked at me surprisingly like I don’t recognize him. Hmm… am I suppose to know him?
“Thank you so much. You practically saved my life.” I was about to ask him for his name when he started saying
“It’s no big deal. Actually the thing I wanted to tell you is that you really have the potential to become an actress. I watched you expressions when you were reading the map and threw it away. It seems to me that you have talent in acting.” Me? Acting? I mean I know that I can sing but act? I never thought about it but then I did pretend to be a lady in front of my grandpère’s friends all the time and I sure fool everybody into thinking me as a perfect graceful girl.
Anyways, so the guy said goodbye to me before I have the chance ask for his name and left me this dazzling smile.
I snapped myself back to reality and sang the last song I’m suppose to sing for today’s shift Sorry for Love.
Sorry for Love (Celine Dion)
Forgive me for the things
That I never said to you
Forgive me for not knowing
The right words to say, to prove
That I will always be
Devoted to you and me
And if you can’t feel that in my love
Then I’m sorry for not giving you enough
But I’m not sorry for my love
I’m not sorry for my touch
The way it made your hands
Tremble and my heart rush
I would do it all again
Wouldn’t take back a thing, no
’cause with you I’ve lived
A thousand lives in one
And I could never be
I could never be
Sorry for love
After I finished, I flashed a dazzling smile at the audience and descend the stage in the applause coming from them. Singing sure is no job for human. After 5 hours of singing with no rest, my throat is completely hoarse by now. I snatched the water bottle from 关古威’s hands and gobbled down half bottle of water before I gasp for air.
“大姐，watch it!! It’s my water!!” He complained.
“Really? Well it’s no longer yours I guess since I already drank it.” I smiled sweetly at 阿威. “Actually, to thank you for the water supply and the way you addressed me, how about starting your shift two hours earlier? I know you love sing.” I jumped up on the stage leaving behind the horror struck 阿威 in his seat and said to the microphone
“Hey everybody! Now let’s welcome the all time favorite singer关古威 to sing for us now. He cannot bear to be part from you guys – his fans, much longer so he volunteered to sing for us two hours earlier today.” I tossed the microphone at阿威 and jumped off the stage in the thunderous applause for him. Just as I predicted, all the teenager girls here are waiting for him.
I walked over to the corner seat and started to eat the lunch I’m suppose to eat 3 hours ago.
“Find your first day singing amusing?” the angelic voice coming from my back belongs to my best friend筱筠.
“It would be more interesting if you haven’t blackmailed me into singing here.” I pulled out a chair for her to sit.
“Well, you are the one who is so interested in that guy you met in the park so I told you his name and the way to know him. It’s not my fault that you never read news about the show business.” It turns out that the guy I met in the park is this famous actor 王瑞恩 who just announced that he is going to gave up acting and become a film director. No wonder he was surprised when I didn’t ask him for an autograph. Yet the information means that the chance of me getting to know him as an unknown person is exactly nil.
“Plus,” 筱筠 continued, “You said you don’t want to be those kind of actress with no brain and only beautiful appearance then the fastest way to get him notice you is for you to become a singer for you have such beautiful voice.” So that’s筱筠, always have excuses to bail herself out of trouble by playing with facts. Oh god, why do I have such a best friend? Even if I do tell people about it no one would believe me because they think 筱筠 is this shy and quiet girl.
“Sorry to interrupt your conversation.” An elegant woman in pink dress appeared by our table. “I’m the chief producer for the Eami Company 周映彤. I just heard the performance from miss方 and she totally surprises me. I’m sure that with a little more proper singing training, she can become the best-selling singer in no time. Therefore I hope the Eami Company can have the honour to have you join us.”
My brain was still digesting what she just said when she pulled out the contract and placed it in front of me. I looked over at 筱筠，she nodded her head in approval and leaned over. “Don’t worry 若绮，my dad said that the Eami Company is the best disc companies in the entire Taiwan. Eami is composed of the best song-writers, best producers and the best singers.” I read over the contract, all things listed there are pretty reasonable. However, it still surprises me that the best disc company offers me a contract on the very first day of my singing career. As if reading my doubt, 周映彤 smiled and said “I was going to ask关古威 to join Eami today and I heard your singing on stage when I entered the restaurant. The beauty of your voice surprises me therefore I have to ask you before the other companies have the chance to get you.”
I hide the happiness inside me and read over the contract once more. After I made sure that there is nothing wrong with the contract I signed my name on it. One step closer to王瑞恩.
“From now on, you are one member of the Eami family. You can call me 映彤姐 like others.” 映彤姐putted the contract carefully inside her folder and smiled at me. “Staring next Monday, you’ll have 4 weeks of training. Remember to report to Eami after you finish the training where we’ll discuss about your first CD.” 映彤姐 picked up her coat and left the restaurant.
“Omigod筱筠, I’m just signed the contract with Eami!!!” I can’t stop saying it and hugged her. Just think about it, the best disc company wants me --- 方若绮, to be one of their singers!!! 阿威 came over to us and said “大姐, did 映彤姐 just offered the contract to you too?” I chose to ignore how he called me because I was so happy and hugged him too. “Yes, from now on we’ll be in the same company. I should thank her because with you in my company I wouldn’t worry that I can’t find someone to tease.”
From the look on阿威’s face told me that I succeeded once again at teasing him.

“方若绮! How many times do I have to tell you that you need to use the abdominal muscle to help the chest blow air from the lungs in order to make a richer sound?” The teacher interrupted my singing for the 99th time and continued to shout at me. I ignored the sympathetic look coming from my left. God! As if I need sympathy from 黎华? If it weren’t for him, I’ll be recording my first CD now instead of doing the fifth week of singing training here with the world scariest teacher. Please! Nobody ever told me that my sound is not rich enough. Why does she always have to pick on me all the time? Can’t she make黎华’s voice to match mine instead of me matching him?
The night before I need to report to Eami, 映彤姐 called me and told me that I need to sing a few songs with黎华 for my CD. However, since my voice does not quite match perfectly with 黎华’s, I’ll have to take an extra week of singing lessons with him. Then she hanged up on me before I can protest so now I ended up here, with the most influential guy in the show business 艺能天王 黎华. No wonder he is like the most popular star, the guy is almost as pretty as I am. Normally I would be pretty happy with such a cute guy in the same classroom but since he is like the prime culprit who gets me into the situation I’m in now, NO WAY I’ll be nice to him. Yeah I know, pretty immature eh? 筱筠told me that thousands of times already.
“方若绮! Pay attention will you?” the old lady smacked the piano to try to get me notice her. “Let’s sing this phrase one more time and see if you get it or not. You know it’s my last day teaching you, it’ll be much easier for both of us if you cooperate more.”
“Really? Today is the last day you are teaching me?” I can’t help but brightened up at her words. Don’t blame me if she is not the world easiest person to get along with. Plus I need rest ok? A person should get the privilege of rest after almost 5 weeks of inhuman, hell experience.
“Honestly, do you ever listen? I already said that at beginning of this week. From Monday to Wednesday you’ll be working with me and for the rest of the three days you’ll be working with 黎天王.” She totally destroyed my hope. I can see the bubbles that contain images of me relaxing at home, dancing in the pub or singing in the KTV bursting right in front of me. Then the last sentence sinks in my brain. Me??? Working with him ALONE??? God, as if I haven’t got enough suffering. 黎华totally stole my free time. Over my dead body will I work alone with a guy I now hate the most. Hmm… I’ll just find some excuse to skip classes for the rest of the week. It’s not like 黎华 will tell 映彤姐 about it anyways. I mean I’m totally doing him a favor by skipping classes. He’ll get 3 days of vacation. No way would he want to be stuck in a room teaching me.
“Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang.” The clocked signaled it’s the end of class. I rushed out of the room before 黎华 and the old lady can remind me again of the class tomorrow. After a long day of hard work the best way to relax is shopping! I walked into the nearest store around Eami and started my shopping trip for today. I, as usual, bought tons of new cloth and other useless but cute things totally unaware that the huge piles of clothes buried in the closet in my apartment. The way people see me shopping would think that I have something against money. Of course, it’s not money I’m against it’s黎华. I’m using shopping to take out my anger at him. After 2 hours of non-stop walking, I finally towed myself into 民歌餐厅 for dinner.
“若绮！” From the way the girl screamed my name into my ears I’m sure it’s not 筱筠 who is talking to me. I turned around and find me staring at a cute-featured girl wearing an orange colored dress with at least 3 huge bags of junk food in her hands. I blinked for a second and finally recognized her.
“晓爱！ What are you doing here?” 范晓爱, a girl in my class when I was in high school, was a really good friend of mine until I left for university.
“Aren’t I suppose to ask you that questions? Aren’t you attending that art school in U.S.? How come you are in Taiwan again?” That reminds me, I quickly picked up my stuff and towed her out of the restaurant into another coffee shop nearby. No way I can let 筱筠 know that I’m going to skip classes. If she knows, I’ll be worse than dead.
I told晓爱 about my fight with my Grandpère and filled her in with my contract with Eami.
“Wow! I knew you are going to be a singer. That is so cool. You are so lucky! You met 王瑞恩and 黎华！ Omigod I can’t believe you are going to gave up the chance of being with 黎华! Do you know how many girls want a chance like that?” How many girls’ mind did that guy黎华 poison? Even 晓爱can’t stop drooling over him and blaming me for missing such a chance.
“Hey, he is just not my type. Seriously if you see the way he was laughing at me when that old lady picked on me during those singing lessons you’ll totally gave up the idea of being with him. Anyways, help me think of an excuse of missing classes for the rest of this week. Just in case 映彤姐 find out and ask me why I skipped.”
“Oh I know! How about go camping with me tomorrow? This way no one will see you in any of the recreational places here and you can tell her that you were sick.” Hmm… that sounds like a good idea. I never had the chance to explore Taiwan anyways when I was in high school. Plus this is probably one of the few occasion i'll get to have some free time.
“Ok. Where do I meet you tomorrow? What do I suppose to bring?” 晓爱 and I started to discuss and plan all the things we are going to do in the next few days. Time seems to flow back to when we were in high school. Life seems so promising at the moment back then.

Chapter 4
whee~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ finished chapter 4~~~~~~~~~ in like 4 months -_-*;~~~~~~~ 越写越像diary form... probably because i used first person...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4
The sound of alarm clock woke me up. For a second there, I thought I was back at school again. Waking up at the sound of alarm clock, take a shower and go to school. You know, the regular school morning routine. I dragged myself to the bathroom and was about to take a shower when I found myself staring at a not-yet-awake panda on the window in my bathroom. No, panda is actually a very cute animal. The thing I’m staring at looks like some sort of black eyed skinny devil which just crawled out of hell! When did I installed a window in my bathroom and why is there is devil picture stuck to it? My mind was still blurry due to lack of sleep. Then reality hits me. The window with the picture is the full length mirror I installed in the bathroom. In other words, the horrible looking thing looks like it just crawled out of hell is me.
I became fully awake so suddenly and examined myself carefully in the mirror. Omigod… aside from the fact that there are two huge bags sagging under my eyes, my skin is like super crappy. I rushed into the shower and used up so much skin lotions and stuffs that by the end of my shower, the whole apartment has this really fresh and sweet smell of skin lotion and shampoo. Well at least now my skin returned to its usual smooth and soft texture but the two black circles around my eyes still didn’t not diminish. Great, today I’ll just have to worry that people might call the police and report there is this human size panda walking on the street. Grr…I wish I had been more thoughtful. It’s the day I should report back to Eami yet I just got home at 2 a.m. in the morning from the camping session because the camping thing was so fun that I had to delay the schedule by a day so I can fully explore the area. I mean, I’m still like totally ready for recording my very first disc it’s just my appearance… Not that people in Eami won’t let me record my CD because I look bad, but looking good never hurts plus you never know when I can run into 王瑞恩. ^^
Since my unusual long shower took up too much time, I didn’t bother to eat anything in the morning. I just grabbed a pair of sunglasses to hide my eyes and rushed out of the door so I won’t be late. Thanks to the hell singing lessons which took up place at the special training class somewhere near Eami, I can actually find my way to Eami this morning without any problem.
I got off the bus in front of Eami and saw 黎华 driving his car towards the parking lot. Oh great, I totally forgot he is like my partner for my first CD. Then I realized that the whole reason I forgot abouthim is because I haven’t see him for the past four days since I skipped the singing class with him since Wednesday. That means today I have some explaining to do to 映彤姐 if he told on me. Suddenly, the whole idea of me going upstairs to映彤姐’s office is not that inviting.
I walked slowly into Eami and missed the first available elevator because I was too slow. Oh well, I don’t want to go upstairs that fast anyways. I pushed the button for going up and waited around. To my surprise, the next elevator came really quickly. I walked inside and found there is only黎华 in it. He probably just parked his car in the basement parking lot. Yeah, the guy has that mysterious smile on his face as usual when I walked in which means he probably did not recognize me. That is good, since I’m wearing my sunglasses and the guy only sees me like 3 times in total in the past anyways. No way would he recognize someone he barely know with a pair of shades on.
Since I know he is going the same way I do and he is standing right beside the number pad, I didn’t bother to push the button for the floor number. And the guy didnot even ask. Arrogant person… probably used to people waiting around for him that he doesn’t even have the smallest idea of asking other people about their destination on an elevator. I got off the elevator before he did and walked with full speed to映彤姐’s office. I changed my mind. I can’t let him go to her office first so they’ll have some time alone and he can tell on me before I arrive. I’ll just go there first and get everything set quickly so that when 黎华 comes in, I’ll probably be like all set to go and there won’t be any time for him saying anything about me skipping classes for 3 full days. I smiled proudly and turned to the hallway which leads down to 映彤姐’s office.

chapter 5
have no idea what i wrote for this chapter~~~~ been interrupted like several times~~~~ so in the end i dun even know if the whole thing is connected or not~~~~ sry for being irresponsible~~~~ o and i have no idea what to write next...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chapter 5
Alright, not a good idea to go to 映彤姐’s office all by myself. Here I am, lost again on the seventh floor in the Eami building while still struggling my way to find the elevator where the floor plan is. How can I be so stupid? I just got off the elevator and totally ignored the floor plan while fully aware that I’m completely direction/destination challenged. I guess I was just trying to outrun 黎华 which caused my mind to go completely blank. Omigod, when will I start growing up? That is way too immature. And I obviously am lacking maturity. The least I could do was just following 黎华 to 映彤姐’s office. He probably have been here like a million times but my mind was just really screwed up.
Grr… great, now what am I going to do?? It’s already 9;00 which means I should be in 映彤姐’s office right now instead of wandering around aimlessly in the hallway and looking like an idiot. Don’t think I haven’t tried to ask people for directions, I did. And the result leads up to the fact that I’m the only living organism in the empty hallway. I did try to knock on a few doors too,but apparently, no one is in those offices because nobody answered the door. Omigod, why does Eami have to be so rich? The company is wasting money by building such huge building with vacant offices. Ok, now I totally give up. I mean, I can’t even find my way outside where the buildings and surrounding areas are different, how can I succeed when all the hallways look the same. I leaned on the window and sighed. It’ll be a miracle if I can be in 映彤姐’s office in the next 20 minutes.
“Well, miracles do happen sometimes. You are really lucky this time.” I jerked my head back and saw the twin image of Apollo. Ok I was exaggerating. It wasn’t Apollo whom I was seeing (and his twin would be Artemis -_-;;), but 黎华. He looked like Apollo since the golden sunlight are spreading all over him and I got to admit it. The guy is really hot. For a sec there I was like, god listened to my prayer and sent me an angel from heaven to guide my path.
“You are not lost again are you?” 黎华 asked with a Oh-do-not-deny-it smile on his face.
I was going to admit to him but his expression was just way too irritating for me to take it. I mean, is mocking me really that much fun?
“Actually, no. I was just … taking a walk around here to get to know my working environment better.”I wanted to slap myself the second those words escaped my lips. Okay, that sounds really lame. To get to know my working environment better? I won’t even get this job if I don’t report back to 映彤姐 on time and the place would no longer be my working area.
Luckily, 黎华 was actually nice enough to let me escape from my own stupid excuse this time. He just nodded and said
“映彤 sent me to get you in case you are lost. Seems to me like you are having fun so I guess I’ll just leave you here and you can find your way back to her office later by yourself then.”
Okay, I was wrong to say the guy is nice and he is nothing relates to an angel. I’m sure he has a pretty good idea why I’m stranded here all by myself but I’m not going to give him the satisfy to know that he got me .
“but I can’t waste your time here. I’m sure you still have other plans in the afternoon so why don’t we just go get the case from 映彤姐 and record the CD?” and spent as less time together as possible. That’s the thing I wanted to say the most but I caught myself before saying it out loud. 黎华’ll probably have a fit if he heard that. I mean the guy is really arrogant. He probably thinks all the girls should just worship the ground he walks on. If I told him what I thought, he’ll be sure to get back at me sometime. Tell on映彤姐 I skipped the singing session would be a really good one.
I turned to the direction he came from and start walking. Just as I turned to the right side, a voice behind me called out “ if you walk that way, you’ll have to circle the Earth one time before you can reach 映彤’s office.”I stopped and turned around. 黎华 just has to wait until I turn to the wrong direction and find the pleasure to tell me I was wrong. Working with him will be something I’ll never forget. Hell experience…
Chapter 6
oki~~~had no idea i actually updated this quickly ^^-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 6
Finally, we reached 映彤姐’s office. Before we went in the room, I mumbled out a thank you to 黎华. I mean, I’m not that ungrateful. The guy probably wasted a lot of his time to try to find me. However, my volume was really low when I thanked him because I didn’t really want him to hear it and certainly did not expect a response. Apparently, I underestimated his listening ability. 黎华’s ears are actually sharp enough to pick up the sound and make out what I just said.
“hey, no problem. It’s probably best for me to find you there. According to your brain capacity, I won’t be surprised even if you arrive at 映彤’s office 12 hours later.” 黎华 replied with the same mocking smile on his face.
That does it!!! I lifted my foot and was about to step on 黎华 to teach the guy some lesson, the door to 映彤姐’s office opened. I turned around and found myself staring at the beautiful blue eyes I’ve been thinking about ever since I met 王瑞恩. Then I lost my balance.
Okay, it was really unlike me to be clumsy. I mean I can walk around my grandpère’s castle on high heels without knocking any one of the ten encyclopedias piling on my head to the ground before I went to high school. All of those lessons I took when I was young prevent me from acting like an idiot in front of people. However, standing on one foot with the other foot lifting in the air and turning the body almost 180 degrees around, I’m sure anyone who tried that would fall to the ground although I have no idea why would anyone try that position on purpose.
So when I realized I lost my balance, I totally prepared every inch of my skin on my body to be ready for some physical contact with the ground. Yet as I waited, the cold sensation I would get when my skin kiss the ground did not appear. I stared down and found a pair of muscular arms wrapped tightly around my waist to prevent me from falling. My eyes followed the direction the arms came from. Guess who do they belong to? 王瑞恩? I wish.. No. The pair of the beautifully shaped arms just have to be connected to 黎华’s body. I lifted my head up to tell 黎华 to let go of me but before I can say anything, his golden hazel eyes pierced into mine which caused my mind to go completely blank. All of my thoughts just disappeared, only these words are left: do all guys’ embrace feel this comfortable?
It took me sometime before I realized our physical contact is way too close for people who only know each other for like less than a week and spoke to each other for less than 50 sentences. I struggled out of 黎华’s embrace and turned to face 王瑞恩. Then the thought hits me, he just saw my clumsiest moment when I almost fall on the ground and me in another guy’s arm although that does not mean anything. I put on my most dazzling smile while resisting the urge to knock my head against the wall.
“映彤 and I heard some sound in the hallway so we thought you guys are probably here.” 王瑞恩 explained. “若琦, we thought you were probably lost so 黎华 went to get you. Are you alright? Hope you didn’t find the place here too complicated.” He smiled kindly at me. See how considerate and thoughtful 王瑞恩 is? Major contrast from 黎华 who only knows to tease me. I congratulated myself for my excellent choice. It’s a good thing I don’t like 黎华. Wait, he is not even on my list of guys so forget about him.
I nodded and followed 王瑞恩 into the room. Although I’d really like to ask why is he here but I bit my tongue. I already looked stupid enough, it’s probably best for me to shut up for now. 映彤姐 is inside the office organizing some files. She smiled at me and gestured for all of us to sit down.
“So 若琦, how did the training session go last week with 黎华? I hope your singing skills improved.” Great… Out of all the things, 映彤姐 just has to ask me that first.
“um…I believe our voices will blend.” I smiled nervously. Although I did skip the training session but I’m not someone who is irresponsible for her work. I practiced during the camping whenever I had some free time. Now I’m actually rather confident about my voice but the thing I’m not confident about is the skipping part.
“Excellent. That’s what 黎华 told me. He said last week, you two had a marvellous time training together. I believe you’ll learn a lot from 黎华.” I was astonished. He actually covered for me? I glanced at 黎华. his expression surprised me. He still has the same smiling face but somehow the feeling he gives out now is distant. Unlike the teasing feeling I received in the hallway. Never mind, I shook my head and turned my attention back to 映彤姐.
“Now about your CD.” 映彤姐 continued. “the main reason I wanted 黎华 to be in it is because one of the song you and 黎华 sing together will be the theme song for 王导’s new movie in which 黎华 is playing the leading male.”
“I planned to film this movie long time ago but there is some problem with the role of leading female.” 王瑞恩 took over. “we need someone fresh and eye-catching but can play the role out of her heart in the meantime.We’ve searched for months for the appropriate girl until I met you few weeks ago. You are undoubtfully beautiful and you capture people’s attention the second you appear. I think you are prefect for this role. ”
“王导 contacted me 2 weeks ago. That was when I decided to change your CD.” 映彤姐 added and pulled out some contracts for me to read“ this is an excellent chance for you, 若琦. Eami and the film company can publicize you together. I know we are asking a lot from you but we have great faith in you. You are a really talented girl and we do not want that talent to be wasted.”
映彤姐 stopped. Everyone in the room is looking at me for my answer. My brain began to work quickly. One of the main reasons I’m involved in the show business is not just because of 王瑞恩, but also to irritate my grandpère. I know for sure he does not approve of me doing this. If I only become a singer, I won’t be famous enough for grandpère to know me. However, if my image appears on the big screen, the chance of him noticing me would increase a great deal. Also, since the film is being directed by 王瑞恩, I’ll get to see him a lot if I’m in the movie.
I looked up and nodded.
I, 方若琦, am going to be the rising star in the show business.
