Chapter 7: Here's your role
"What do you mean 'work with me?'" Takumi questioned making air quotations with his fingers. The President didn't reply but carried on staring at Misaki with puppy dog eyes.
Takumi sighed and grabbed the President's arms, hoisting him up. Misaki could clearly see his muscles flexing with the action and quickly refocused her eyes onto the President's lanky frame, trying to hide the blush creeping up her neck. Emma though, didn't even bother to hide her lustful gaze, she gawked at Takumi as if he was a ripe fruit, ready to be eaten.
The President stood on his feet within seconds, with help from Takumi, and was staring at the 3 (more or less as Emma had clearly gone into cardiac arrest territory with Takumi's muscles) bewildered people.
"Why are we here President?" Takumi asked again, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Why are you so impatient Takumi?" The President shot back, crossing his arms, a mildly annoyed look on his face.
Takumi sighed again and ran a hand through his messy hair.
"Why are we here?" Misaki asked this time.
The President's features quickly re-arranged into an endearing look. "Oh my sweet Misaki, so curious aren't you?" He reached for Misaki's cheek but she slapped his hand away, harder than she should have apparently because the President fell on his knees.
"I'm so sorry Misaki! I'm always bothering you!"
"Wait- umm- get up." Misaki said, feeling flustered. What was she meant to do in this kind of situation. Apologise? Hell no, her pride was never going to let her. Besides, what had she done?
"Okay." The President answered back, getting up and brushing himself off. Misaki was shocked, she couldn't believe how quickly this man's mood changed but Takumi and Emma were as stoic as ever, like this was an everyday occurance. Was it?
"So why are we here?" Misaki tried again, taking a deep breath. Glasses (what she had named him) was getting on her nerves and she didn't know how much longer she could be calm for.
Takumi saw that Misaki was beginning to get annoyed but decided to stay out of the situation. He was quite curious as to how this would end up. A smirk settled on his face as he saw Misaki taking deep breaths.
"We are here because I called you." Glasses replied calmly. He seemingly forgot the fact that Misaki was practically thrown into a car and brought here against her will.
"You didn't call me, you kidnapped me." Misaki replied.
"Did we?" The President or Glasses as Misaki called him, replied, feigning an innocent look. He shrugged indifferently.
Misaki counted back from 10 under her breath. A snicker erupted behind her as she reached the number 6. Whipping around so fast it was a wonder her neck hadn't got damaged, her eyes landed on Takumi who was snickering behind his hand.
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be laughing, this is a serious matter." Takumi said from behind his hand. Still, Misaki could see his shoulders bobbing up and down as he tried to repress his laughter.
Misaki could feel her eye twitch as she continued to look at Takumi. Behind him, Emma made no effort to hide her smirk. God if she could just get a hold of her hair-
"Look Glasses, tell me-" Her sentence was interrupted when a peel of laughter burst out from behind her. She turned around and stalked up to Takumi who was laughing so hard, he almost fell down.
"Glasses?" He wheezed in between bouts of laughter. "That's a new one!" He carried on laughing, not stopping.
She cocked her fist back, ready to punch him, when the President spoke up. Takumi instantly stopped laughing.
"Misaki, do not injure my child." Misaki instantly stopped. The President's voice was different from before, it was commanding, daring anyone to disobey.
Misaki turned around. The President was standing straight, his face set strictly. His oozed an aura of dominance, naturally drawing everyone's attention towards him. Gone was the goofy President, standing in front of Misaki was now the CEO of Walker Arts Federation.
"I-um." Misaki was at a loss for words, which was saying a lot, since she was never lost for words.
The President/CEO walked up to Misaki and stopped a foot away. "Misaki, understand one thing, should you ever harm any of my children, there will be consequences."
Misaki didn't know what to say, the man in front of her truly scared her.
"Yes. I understand." Misaki managed to say. Her voice had risen in pitch. The President nodded and walked around her, sitting at his desk. He intertwined his fingers and rested his elbows on the desk, leaning forward.
Misaki, Takumi and Emma gathered around his desk.
"Sit." The President ordered, and all 3 of them obediently sat down. Misaki fidgeted in her seat. She was majorly uncomfortable and a bit embarrassed she got scolded in front of Takumi and Emma. Scolded! A 21 year old woman scolded! Hah! Misaki couldn't remember the last time anyone told her what to do and she obeyed, except for her mom of course. But oddly, Misaki found that she listened to what the President had said without resisting.
They all sat in silence for a few minutes before it got unbearable and Misaki broke the silence.
"Why do you call them your children? Are you their father?" Misaki nervously questioned.
"No. I am not. But I consider everyone who works with me or for me my child. So, if you are to accept this deal, you would also be considered my child."
"Deal? What deal?" Misaki was thoroughly confused now.
"Right, let me explain." Misaki nodded, it was about time he started answering her questions.
"I am proposing a deal for you. Our lead female actor for our new movie is unable to act so we are in need of a replacement. We have seen your audition for the Water For You advert and the director, producer and I have taken a liking to your acting. Therefore, we would like you to audition for the role of the lead female. You will be up against many other talented women and may not get the role. If you should get the role though, we will contact you and you will be flown out to New Zealand for the movie shooting. The rest of the details will be in the envelope I will be giving you. Do you Understand?"
Misaki stilled on her seat, her mouth open in shock. She couldn't even process all this new information. Audition, her? For the lead role, New Zealand. AIRPLANE?!
"Misaki, are you ok?" Takumi asked, leaning forward to look at her. Misaki shook herself out of her stupor. She opened her mouth and closed it, repeating the action several times.
"What are you, a fish?" Emma spoke up. Misaki turned and glared at her before returning her attention to the President and instantly went back to her shocked self. The President was staring at her intently.
"I-um-" Misaki began, not knowing what to say.
"Think about it." The President replied, giving her the envelope on her desk. Miskai opened her mouth and closed it again.
"Stop doing that! I am seriously thinking you're a fish right now." Emma said, "Just say yes or no."
"How about you shut up?" Misaki asked, turning to Emma. This girl was trying her patience and she was not in the mood to take attitude from her. Not when she just got kidnapped and then offered a lead movie role.
"How about you make me?" Emma sneered, flicking her hair over her shoulder.
"Alright, I'll make you." Misaki reached over to Emma but Takumi grabbed her wrists, pushing her back down on her chair.
"Emma is also considered a child to the President. Be careful." He whispered in Misaki's ear. Misaki instantly turned to look at the President who was curiously watching the exchange between Takumi and Misaki.
"Why doesn't he stop me then?" Misaki whispered back.
"He won't do anything unless you start to harm her." Takumi replied.
The President cleared his throat, effectively gaining Misaki's attention.
"Of course, you will be paid well for this." The President told her the money she would be receiving if she got the role and Misaki choked on her own spit.
"WHAT?!" She yelled.
First of all, I'd like the thank everyone who read and reviewed my work! I loved reading your reviews and I hope you leave more reviews in the future. Like every author here, I would love to know what you think. If you got this far and are reading this and are an author (I know, a lot of 'and') I'm sure you also like knowing what your readers think. Thank you.
Remember to be safe and stay indoors, stay away from public gatherings. 2 metre distance people! If you have symptoms of the corona virus, self-isolate. Wash your hands every hour and wash them thoroughly (happy birthday song x2 so around 20 seconds). Be safe!
On a lighter note, those weird '3' you see sometimes are meant to be hearts. They don't come up properly -.- I don't know why. So just ignore them hehe.
I have just decided that I am putting this story on a temporary break. I am not satisfied with my writing or story line. Therefore, I am gonna find a better story line (close to this one) and write properly with better planning. Thank you everyone who read my story so far and I promise I will have my new chapter for my new story out soon. PM me or write in the reviews if you have an idea I can have for the story title. The story will still have Usui and Misaki as actors/famous people. Thank you everyone.
I'm also thinking of getting a beta reader. What do you guys think?
Bye
