CHAPTER 13
It was the second day of photo shoot. All the models and crews involved in the project found themselves on the other side of the private island where a magnificent waterfall can be seen. Its clear water rushed down the huge boulders found below. The sight was a total complete opposite of the cramped and busy Paris.
Models gathered around two photographers who were explaining their schedule for the day. Some were clad only in their swimming bikinis while others were still wrapped in their robes. Make-up artists were everywhere and crews had their hands full of preparing the necessary equipments needed.
"Alright, gorgeous ladies and hot gents. All your attention here, please." Felix, a gay fashion designer, clapped his hands together to divert everyone's attention to him. "I didn't mean to interrupt you, Dominique my love." He said, flashing his beautiful lashes to the photographer who just shook his head in amusement. "I just want to make this special announcement to boost everyone's energy up. I received a phone call from Madam Vi and she said that..." He paused, looking at both models and staffs whose curiosity intensified by the minute. "that everyone got a VIP ticket to Sara Gallagher's concert tonight!" He paused when excited roars and whistles from the crowd were heard as their response. "Uh uh. There's more." He continued, wiggling his pointer finger to the crowd who looked at him with expectations evident in their eyes. "Everyone is also invited to the exclusive after-concert party." He once again paused, knowing full well what his audience's response will be. He was not disappointed when a much louder cheer was heard. "Oh. Madam Vi is on the line." He said, looking at his iPad. "She has a message for everyone." He faced the iPad to his audience who immediately pulled themselves together and stood with posture.
"Bonjour, my beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen. I am certain that Felix had announced to you the details of this evening's activity." The editor-in-chief spoke in French and smiled at her audience. Her eyes caught the sight of the young director who was standing between her granddaughter and Masashi. The three were still in their robes. "Of course, anyone who does not wish to attend may do so. It's an invitation after all." She paused when a man came and whispered something to her. "I will make this message short. I want everyone to work well today. I want your full cooperation with our photographers. Let's be on schedule and finish everything that must be done there. I hope I made myself clear." She paused looking at everyone who nodded their head in agreement. "Fantastic. Dominique, Edmond, I am leaving them in your care." She finished and the video call ended.
"Alright, everyone's attention here again please." The photographer, Dominique, called out and everyone diverted their attention back to him. "Good. As I was saying, we will be dividing you into groups again. Some will be doing the photo shoot on that waterfall." He gestured to the beauty behind him. "While the others will be on dry lands. Not everyone will do the same shot, alright? We will maximize the aesthetic of this place and as much as possible capture all its aspects and beauty. Same photographer will be assigned to you. Just follow their instructions and everything's going to be fine. If you don't have any question, we will start now."
All models and crews alike dispersed, each had a task to finish.
Dominique approached the young director and Masashi. "NK and Masashi, ours will be on the waterfall. You guys, okay with that?" He asked the two who just nodded.
"Shizuru and Giabiconi, we'll do your shots on dry lands. Madam Vi's order." Edmond, the photographer said, not giving the superstar the chance to protest.
They separated ways and started to proceed to their respective venue when Giabiconi suddenly turned around and jogged towards the young director's group.
"Hey, can we swap partner?" He asked, looking at Dominique who looked back at him with confusion. "I want to work with NK." He said, looking at the young director who just arched an eyebrow at him. "Don't get me wrong. Shizuru is great and all and I love working with her. It's just that I want to do something exciting today and today's shots will include jumping off that waterfall, right?" he asked, looking to and fro the photographer and young director, completely ignoring Masashi.
"Right, Giab. But being Madam Vi's number 1 model does not give you the privilege to choose your partner, dude. Don't get things to your head. Go join your group now." Dominique said, dismissing the male model before turning towards the young director and Masashi. "Let's keep moving."
"Wait." Masashi called out, halting everyone from proceeding.
"Guys, we actually don't have a lot of time in our hands. If we want to finish this we need to get started. And I am saying now." Dominique said in an exasperated tone but was interrupted by Masashi before he can proceed with his lecturing.
"He's right. It will be better if we will swap partner. I kinda' have fear of heights." Masashi said untruthfully which made the young director snapped her head towards him. He knew the young director for quite some times that he can tell when she's not comfortable and that time was one of those instances.
"What the hell is he blabbering about? He's a captain of a bloody elite special force. He's used to skyscrapers."The young director thought and tried looking for answer by looking at Masashi's eyes which never met hers since the day started. The man kept avoiding her.
"Well that settles it. If I am not mistaken, one of Madam Vi's top priorities is everyone's safety, right?" Giabiconi asked rhetorically.
"How about, Shizuru? She might feel like you don't want to work with her, Giab." Dominique said, looking at the superstar's direction.
"I will explain the situation to her. You should get going now." Masashi said before going to the direction where Giabiconi came from to join the superstar's group. Not even a single glance was casted to the young director's direction.
No more protest was heard as they went to the venue.
The young director and Giabiconi, were on the edge of the waterfall and a few feet from where they were standing was deep blue water.
Dominique, on the other hand, was aboard a square-shaped platform connected to a customized submarine-like amphibian truck. A long expandable steel connected the platform and the truck thus, providing Dominique the elevation that he needed to capture his desired angle. Inside the control room was his assistant who was facing a screen which showed the frame that his camera was capable of capturing. The same assistant was the one in-charge of adjusting the height of Dominique's elevation. To make communication smooth, a device was connected to the photographer's ear with a micro mic connected to it.
"We'll do an individual shot. NK will go first before Giab. Just jump naturally." Dominique instructed the two before looking at the young director who was standing near the edge of the waterfall. "Are you read, NK?" He asked as he readied his camera with high quality lens capable of zooming in at impossible percentage.
"Yeah." The young director who was only clad in her bikini nodded at the photographer who was standing on the platform a few feet away from her.
"You jump on three, okay? Let's do this. One...two...three." The photographer counted and right on cue, the young director jumped.
The photographer kept clicking on his camera until the young director's body made contact with the water and left a splash. He didn't pause taking shots of her even after she hotly emerged from the water and flipped her wet hair backwards in an attempt to get rid of the excess water in them.
"Whoa! Way to go NK!" Giabiconi yelled, making it possible for everyone to hear. The architecture of the area made it possible for echo to travel across. "That's my girl!"
"You did great, NK. That was awesome." The photographer yelled from above. "Just move a little farther away to your right." He then looked at Giabiconi "Your turn, Giab. Jump on three, okay?"
"Roger that. It's show time." Giabiconi said as he prepared himself. He was only clad in his swimming trunk and his muscled and toned upper torso was left exposed for anyone to ogle at.
"One...two...three..." The photographer once again counted and just like his previous subject, it went well.
"Whoa." Giabiconi emerged from underwater in his hot wet look. He shook his head to remove the excess water in them before sexily combing his hair and looking at the young director seductively. It did not help that his godly body was exposed for the nature to see since, everyone was busy with their own shooting. Well, except for a few eyes there who can't help but look and two of these eyes were the shade of crimson whose owner was shooting not far away from where they were.
"Nothing less from him. What to expect from Paris' highest paid model? Perfection." The photographer mumbled as he looked at the shots he had taken.
He captured almost every second of the dive. From the point where the young model was about to jump, when he was on air, when his body made contact with water and made a huge splash and until he sexily emerged from it with his seductive look directed at the young director.
"How was that, NK?" Giabiconi asked the young director in front of him who looked not even slightly impressed.
"Show off." The young director rolled her eyes.
"Show off, huh?" Giabiconi said before an idea popped in his mind. Without warning, he splashed water to the surprised young director. He continued his assault as he laughed heartily at the young director who did nothing but to shield herself from the water attack.
"You are really asking for it, Giab." The young director said as she made a counter attack.
"Bring it on, NK." Giabiconi challenged. He was about to add some remarks but the young director's assault did not allow him to do so.
After a few seconds, the assault suddenly stopped. What came next surprised him. The last thing he felt was the young director behind him trying to playfully drown him. The young director was riding him at the back. To counter the attack, he lowered himself to loosen the young director's hold of him. When he succeeded, he finally emerged from the water with the young director on his shoulders. The young director held on her head to avoid herself from falling but she was late when Giabiconi suddenly pulled her arms and threw her forward. The sound of a loud splash was heard followed by a hearty laughter from the male model.
"Victory!" Giabiconi proclaimed as he raised his hands in the air and smiled at the young director who was still recovering from her fall.
The photographer, Dominique, signaled for his elevation to be lowered and did not allow the opportunity of taking genuine moments to slip away. He kept clicking on his camera as the two kept going on with their little play. From a third person perspective, the image before him was the perfect image of two couples enjoying their break. However, for an expert photographer like him who was used to seeing emotions and eliciting them, it was a perfect image of two friends who were just comfortable with each other. It was overflowing with happiness and playfulness. Two of the themes that he was tasked to capture.
"Alright, guys. That's enough. Time to proceed." Dominique cut the two after being satisfied with the shots he captured.
The young director and Giabiconi were at the foot of the waterfall. Water was cascading down their bodies. The male model was behind the young director as he wrapped his hands around her slim upper torso. The young director's hands were placed above his as she tilted her head to the right, exposing her long neck.
A few more intimate poses were taken before the photographer called for a break. "Time for lunch break. Great job, everyone."
Two assistants immediately handled two black robes to the two models as they started to feel the cold atmosphere after emerging from the water. They descended down and went to join the others at the base camp where tents can be seen. Each tent was occupied by models, make-up artists, and assistants assigned to each models. The crew in-charge of the lighting and cameras had their own tent.
Inside the photographers' tent were four flat screen monitors installed on the wall. Edmond was viewing his shots of Shizuru and Masashi on the two monitors installed on the left when Dominique came and started viewing his shots on the other two monitors installed on the right.
Dominique kept waving his hand a few centimeters away from the monitor to view all his shots in a bigger screen. The monitors were equipped with sensors that need not be touched to scroll the images. One just needed to do the gesture in the air and the images flashed on the screen will change either from left to right or top to bottom, depending on the operator's preference who in this case was Dominique.
"How was it on your end, dude?" Edmond asked as he looked at his frames with scrunched face.
"Playful, happy, sexy, and seductive, off the list." Dominique said as he kept scrolling at his shots with satisfaction. "How about yours?" he asked without even looking at his co-photographer like the images he captured minutes ago will suddenly vanish at the blink of an eye if he will not focus on them.
"Awkward, angry, blank, and uncomfortable added to the list." Edmond said hopelessly before releasing a sigh of defeat.
"Don't worry, Ed. We still have half day. We'll work it out." Dominique comforted his co-photographer, patting the latter's shoulder.
Just then, a clearing of the throat can be heard and the two photographers turned their heads to the source of the sound.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt." The young director said, addressing the two photographers before looking at Dominique. "Dominique, will our shoots later include water?"
"No, NK but are you alright? You are shaking." Dominique asked, concern was evident on his voice.
"Yeah. I'm fine. The water is just cold. That's all." She answered as she tightened her hold on the robe.
"Are you sure? We can delay our next shoot for another hour?" Dominique suggested as he took a closer look of the young director's state.
"I'm fine. Really. An hour break is enough. No need to extend it." She said, dismissing the photographer's unnecessary concern. She then, turned her attention to the other photographer. "Edmond, do you know where Shizuru's tent is?"
"Yeah. It's the one to the left of yours." Edmond thrust his thumb to the said direction.
"Thanks." The young director said and was about to turn around when she suddenly halted and addressed Dominique. "Dominique, can I swap my partner?"
"You are doing fine with Giab, NK. Why do you want Masashi back? You seemed to be uncomfortable with him before the shooting." Dominique stated his observations because in all honesty, he thought that it would be another disaster.
"I'm not referring to Masashi. I want Shizuru to be my partner in the next photo shoot. That is if you two will agree." The young director said, looking to and fro the photographers.
"Of course, you can NK." Edmond suddenly interjected, surprising both the young director and his co-photographer. "That will be fantastic."
"What?" Dominique mouthed at him.
"Theme." Edmond mouthed back.
An enlightenment crossed Dominique feature like that magic word had explained everything. "Of course, Madam Vi's ultimate purpose for this photo shoot." He thought before looking at the young director who was waiting for their answer.
"So? Can I?" The young director asked once again when the two photographers seemed to have a telepathic conversation.
"Oui, Mademoiselle NK." Dominique answered with a smile.
"Merci. I'll be on my way." The young director said before going out of the tent and proceeding to her next destination. She tightened the robe around her as she started feeling colder like the temperature had dropped to freezing negative degrees.
The superstar, clad only in her white robe, was standing in front of a vanity mirror when her eyes caught the reflection of the young director entering her tent. "I think Director Kruger is in the wrong place, isn't she?" She asked coldly.
The young director just calmly approached the superstar, trying her best to mask the coldness seeping to her bones. Ignoring the superstar's coldness, she enveloped the latter from behind. "No." She said as she snuggled closer to the superstar's body. "I feel cold and you're warm. I think I am on the right place." She continued, teetering as her body started to shake visibly. She looked at the superstar's reflection in the mirror and tried to smile at her.
The superstar felt her shaking body and started to get concerned. All the uncomfortable emotions she had from witnessing some of the young director's photo shoot with Giab were tossed out of the window and completely forgotten. "Is Natsuki alright?" She asked, looking at the young director's reflection in the mirror.
"Hmn." The young director nodded. "Just give me a few seconds and a few warmth." She whispered as her body continued shaking.
The superstar turned around to face the young director who flashed her a forced smile. "Natsuki is not alright. She's trembling." She said as she held the young director's face in her hands.
The young director leaned in to the touch and placed her cold hands on top of the superstar's warm ones. "I have a favor to ask you, Shizuru. Will you do it?" She said as she closed her eyes in an attempt to stabilize her breathing that started to get ragged.
"Yes. Natsuki just have to tell me. Does Natsuki want me to get a medical person to help her?" The superstar asked as she searched for any sign of pain on the young director.
"No. Don't do that." The young director shook her head as her breathing started to get uncontrollable. "I want you to get something from my tent. It's a small white case on top of the bed. Use my phone and call Doc Helen when you reached my tent. She'll give you instructions." She finished as she tried to muster all her strength to move her body to the bed near her. "I'll wait for you here."
"I will be right back, Natsuki." The superstar said as she immediately proceeded to the young director's tent.
The superstar walked briskly and upon entering the young director's tent, she immediately saw what she was looking for. She retrieved the small white box and the iPhone that were lying on the same bed.
Following the young director's instructions, she immediately searched for a certain Doc Helen in the list and called it.
RURAL INDIA
Doc Helen was seated in her office inside a medical tube stationed in India. The environment was anything but white. Emitting the same aura of a hospital. Sitting in front of her was Doc Alyssa who was enjoying her tea. The two were currently having their break and were seated on steel-made sofas cushioned with soft foam. Comfort was not the furniture's' main purpose but sanitation is.
Doc Helen was reading a few cases on her iPad when her phone suddenly rang. She looked at the screen and casted a glance at Doc Alyssa who was calmly seeping her tea.
"It's Natsuki. I will put her on speaker." Doc Helen said, waiting for her apprentice's approval. Knowing full well how the woman loved hearing the caller's voice.
"Thank you, Doc." Doc Alyssa smiled at her as she put her cup of tea down. "I wonder when she'll ever call me on my phone. She seems to have forgotten my number. She calls everyone but me." She said, ending her statement with a sigh.
"Don't be too hard on yourself. Just be patient with her." Doc Helen said before answering the phone. "Hello, Natsuki. Did you miss my health lectures?"
"Hello. I am sorry but this is not Natsuki. She instructed me to call you, Doc." The person on the other line spoke in fluent English which made the two women looked at each other before a realization struck them.
"My mistake. May I know the name of the young lady I am speaking with?" Doc Helen said calmly as Alyssa stood and panic started to cross her feature. Doc Helen gave her a hard look that she was familiar with. "Calm down."
"I am Shizuru Viola, Doc. I apologize but at this moment exchanging pleasantries is not of my interest. I have an urgent matter on hand concerning Natsuki. I was told that you will give me instructions." The person on the other line replied with a sense of urgency.
"I know, Shizuru. Tell me. How good are you with needles? Do you know how to use a syringe?" Doc Helen asked calmly as she kept her eyes on Doc Alyssa.
"Yes." The person on the other line replied shortly.
"I assume you are not with Natsuki right now, am I right?" Doc Helen further asked.
"Yes." The person on the other line replied again.
"Can you tell me what Natsuki's condition was the last time you saw her?" Doc Helen asked the question that Doc Alyssa was dying to ask.
"Natsuki was shaking. She said she felt cold." The person on the line replied.
"I see. I know this might sound irrelevant to you but can you tell me what Natsuki's height might be? Based on your estimate. No need to be précise." Doc Helen further probed.
"Around 5'11'', Doc." The person on the other line replied, making the two women conclude on their hypothesis.
"I want you to keep this in mind. Stay calm. Can you do that, Shizuru?" Doc Helen instructed as she stared hard on Alyssa like she was giving her the instruction instead of the person on the other line.
"Yes. " The person on the other line once again replied.
"Good. Now, by the time you will reach Natsuki she will be most likely unconscious. Inside the box that you are carrying are two vials and two syringes. Extract the liquid from the first vial with the labeled XY1 and inject it on Natsuki's left arm. Do the same for the other one labeled XY2 using the other syringe but this time, inject it on her right arm." Doc Helen gave the instructions calmly.
"I am with her now and she's unconscious, Doc." The person on the other line said with a hint of panic in her voice.
"Just stay calm, Shizuru. Natsuki will be alright." Doc Helen said, looking straight at Doc Alyssa. "Now do what I instructed you."
After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other line spoke again.
"I already did what you said, Doc. Natsuki is still unconscious and her body is so cold." The person on the other line spoke.
"It will take around thirty minutes for the drug to take effect. Unless…" Doc Helen paused as she looked at Alyssa for her approval.
"What is it, Doc?" The person on the other line asked.
"Unless you share with her your body heat. I believe you are Natsuki's trusted friend. Direct body contact will serve as a catalyst for the drug to take effect and for Natsuki to stop from freezing. The drug will effect in seven minutes. That is if you are comfortable doing that." Doc Alyssa interjected, flashing a sad smile to Doc Helen who nodded her approval.
"Thank you, Doc…" The person on the other line spoke, waiting for the intervening doctor to give her name.
"It's Doc Alyssa, Shizuru." Doc Alyssa supplemented as she settled down on the sofa.
"Thank you Doc Alyssa and Doc Helen. I am hanging up now." The person on the other line spoke before the line went dead.
"It must be another case of hormonal imbalance. No need to worry, Alyssa." Doc Helen looked at her apprentice on the opposite side of the sofa.
"That's not what I'm worried about, Doc." Doc Alyssa said as she stared at the picture flashed on her phone. It was the picture of her and the young director together.
The superstar zipped locked the tent after setting aside the young director's iPhone. She then went to the bed where the young director was lying and untied the latter's robe before untying her own. She wrapped the young director in an embraced and tried to close any distance between them. Both their robes stayed. She waited for a few minutes before calling out the young director.
"Natsuki. Natsuki, wake up." She whispered as she leaned her forehead on the young director's. "Please." She begged. "Natsuki should wake up now."
A few more minutes passed and the young director slowly opened her eyes. "Hey." She whispered weakly to the superstar whose eyes were held shut. "Did I scare you? I'm sorry." She reached for the superstar's face and held it in her hand.
"No. Natsuki did not." The superstar replied as she snuggled closer to the young director.
"You did a great job with the needles. Thank you." The young director said upon casting a glance at the discarded syringes on the table.
"Is Natsuki feeling well now?" The superstar asked, looking at the young director's eyes. Despite the millions of questions bugging her, she decided to ignore them for the mean time.
"Yeah. Thanks to the beautiful instant-doctor with me." The young director said as she planted a soft kiss on the superstar's forehead.
"Natsuki is very much welcome." The superstar answered and continued to assess the young director's state. She lifted her body a little which made her hover above the young director and exposed more of her half-naked body. "I can inform the photographer to cancel Natsuki's photo shoot this afternoon. I don't think Natsuki is well enough to proceed." She paused before continuing. "Natsuki seems flushed. Is she alright?"
"Damn." The young director muttered as she closed her eyes to stop her raging hormones. She could feel her face heating up at the sight of the superstar's body which in any other instances would not elicit such reaction from her. It did not help that she started feeling the direct body contact now that she had gained some of her senses back. All of these urges that she suddenly felt were no thanks to her still about to be neutralized hormones. "I am sorry, Shizuru. Could-could you gi-give me a few minutes." She said as she shut her eyes firmly and took deep breaths. "And…and c-can you p-please fix your r-robe."
The superstar did not expect the words that came out from the young director. "Kannin na." She said shamefully as she started withdrawing herself from the young director and tying her robe's lace. "It was not my intention to make Natsuki uncomfortable." She said as she hugged the clothing tightly around her body like it was an offensive thing to show to anyone. Slowly, she got off the bed and started walking towards the tent's door to give the young director some more space.
"Screw it." The young director cussed as she got up and grabbed the superstar's wrist before pulling the latter towards her still exposed bikini-clad body. Her robe was still untied. "I don't understand the phrase that you first said but if you're apologizing, I don't think that's necessary." She said as she wrapped her arms around the superstar's body. "You didn't do anything wrong and it's not what you think, okay?"
"Natsuki is confusing me." The superstar spoke as a matter-of-factly. Her face was still buried on the young director's exposed shoulder.
"There are things that I don't want to do without your consent, Shizuru. And there are things that I want to do with you when I am completely me and not just because of some uncontrollable impulses." The young director replied albeit with ambiguity. She held the superstar's face in her hands as she caressed the smooth skin thereon with her thumbs. Those crimson orbs looked at her for more answers than she was willing to give right at that moment. "For now, you should trust me when I say you're a desirable woman and anyone will be lucky to have you." She paused as she wrapped her arms around the superstar's slim waist and pressed her forehead to the latter's. "I'm sorry if I made you feel the opposite, Shizuru."
"There is no need for Natsuki to apologize." The superstar said as she went on hugging the young director instead. They stayed like that for a few more seconds of comfortable silence before she spoke again. "I think Natsuki should call Doc Helen and Doc Alyssa to inform them that she is already well."
"You spoke with Alyssa?" The young director asked, looking down at the superstar in her arms.
"Yes, Natsuki. She gave suggestions on how to make the drug take effect faster. That is why Natsuki's robe is in this state. She suggested direct body contact but I didn't think Natsuki will agree to it." The superstar answered, looking at the young director who started to show unreadable expressions.
"So, she's alright with me sleeping with just anyone huh? She knew how I am after those shitty attacks and yet she suggested that." The young director thought disappointedly before remembering who she was with. "You don't have to go that far, Shizuru. The drug will take effect in thirty minutes and I will be fine after that. I don't want you to force yourself to do things you're not comfortable with for my sake. I'm sorry."
"No." The superstar said shaking her head. "I did that because I want to. I want to help Natsuki."
"Thank you, Shizuru. I will call Doc Helen later." The young director said, smiling at the superstar.
"Natsuki should call Doc Helen now. You will not have time later." The superstar persuaded, knowing how busy they will get for the afternoon shooting.
"About that, Shizuru. I will be your partner for this afternoon's photo shoot. I talked to Dominique and Edmond. They're fine with it. Will it be alright with you?" The young director asked, dreading the superstar's answer unnecessarily.
"No, until Natsuki make the call now while I prepare our lunch." The superstar said as she distanced herself from the young director to tie the latter's robe.
"Ouie, Mademoiselle Shizuru." The young director said before playfully bowing her head like a butler to her master. "Your wish is my command." She said after standing straight and doing a beeline towards her phone. Grabbing her phone, she searched for the doctor's contact in her list and pressed call. After a few rings, the phone was finally answered.
"Doc Helen, thanks for your help. I'm feeling better now." She informed, not even waiting for the person on the other line's greeting.
"I'm glad you're fine, Natsuki." The very familiar voice on the other line replied which made the young director froze. It had been years since she last spoke to the said person. "Doc Helen is in an emergency operation as we speak. She left her phone with me." The person on the other line stated as a matter-of-factly. "Do you have anything more to say…" the person on the other line struggled but immediately recovered. "to Doc Helen, that is."
"None. I'm hanging up now." The young director said, wanting to end the call.
"Natsuki, I miss you. Every single day." The person on the other line spoke in a voice filled with longing.
"Bye." The young director said before ending the call and letting out a breath. "I'm sorry, Alyssa." She thought, looking at the phone in her hand. She released another breath before turning around and walking towards the superstar's direction.
"Doc Helen is on an emergency operation, I will just call her later." She explained when the superstar arched her slim eyebrows towards her direction. The unspoken question not lost to her. Her emerald orbs caught the sight of food laid on the small round table inside the tent. "Uh, Shizuru. I think I have something edible in my tent. I'll go and grab them. Be back in a minute." She finished before dashing towards the tent's exit, not waiting for the superstar's response.
A few minutes later and the young director was back with her so called edible food in hand. Said food was consisted mostly of meat. She smiled at the superstar and went on sitting on the chair opposite the latter. "Let's dig in."
"Itadakimasu." The superstar uttered before starting with her meal.
"Yeah. Itadakimasu." The young director imitated which made the superstar smiled.
The two women ate their food in comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company.
