OVERSEAS MIRACLES

Chapter 37

Celebrity News Flash

Kuu Hizuri… One of Hollywood's world class actors is having a day off! Well, he's so thankful for it because it is what he needs after promoting one of his expected award winning movies of the year. As for his day off, he spent most of his time cooking big time just to feed himself for lunch. His wife Julie is not around and so as Kyoko. So he has nothing else to do but to eat and eat until and who knows when he will gets tired of it.

To have his self entertained, he brought his supreme meals to the living room so that he can watch television while eating. He turned it on and what automatically appeared is a celebrity news channel, talking about France Bracken. Now this had caught his attention since the said guy is his nephew after all.

"We all know that France Bracken is one of America's favorite teenage actors, right? Okay, girls you better hold on to your seats because we had just discovered that he is probably going out with someone! However, there is no official announcement from his agency that confirms about this relationship." The gossip host female giggled excitingly.

"Eh, he has found another girlfriend, neh? I wonder who this special girl is." Kuu mused to himself while he took a ladle full of his rice with glazed chicken.

"See the pictures for yourselves!" The female exclaimed happily at the screen as it presented some a slide show of France with his lady. The first picture shows a he is holding the girl's hand, walking on the stepping stones of a certain resort. The second one is a beach setting at night where he lends his jacket to the flustered pretty petite girl followed by a scene where they are found inside his car laughing like there is no tomorrow. Another picture shows that he is wrapping his arms around her while she is facing her tablet and he is smiling mischievously behind her.

Just when Kuu was about to swallow his food, he ended it up stuck on his throat. He struggled badly as he immediately rushed behind the couch to perform the Heimlich maneuver method by himself. He could hardly breathe as he placed his fists on his abdomen and then pressed himself on the back of the couch. After a few pushes, the food went out of his mouth and that brought him relief while breathing deeply as beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. He could have died if he doesn't know how to save himself from choking.

"Damn." He cursed to himself and shifted his attention back to the gigantic television.

"Kyoko! My daughter!" His eyes widened in horror as the show unfolds before his eyes.

"Isn't she such a beauty? France really has a good taste in women. And not to mention, he is with an Asian girl. And this girl is Kyoko Mogami from Japan! Actually, she is an actress as well in her country and she is currently a third year exchange student of Golden Gates Academy! Wow! That would mean that she's a very intelligent student! She has the brains and plus the beauty! Who could have refused?" The lady praised.

"We had even received comments from other actresses and actors which are their classmates saying that they have some suspicions about their strange relationship. And they thought that they could make a cute couple." She added.

"Damn this stupid press! This is so not good." Kuu hurriedly grab his phone from where he sat and dialed his boss' contact number. And he doesn't care about the time difference in Japan. All he had in his mind that it is important to let the president know about the information whether he is sleeping soundly or not.

Unbeknownst to the two gossiped individuals, they are now waiting for Mr. Jacob in the studio together with other casts of the movie.

"Who knows my luck could get any better." France grinned victoriously at his newest offer. He usually gets excited with new opportunities but for this current one, there is no way he will miss it. But then, he heard some murmurs behind him before he could pass by the three females.

"Hey, do you know that girl over there? They said that she is the one who is going to play the Japanese girl as the lead." A woman of her late twenties whispered to the person beside him.

"Huh? You mean that Asian girl? Don't joke with me. Maybe she's just one of the servants for the Japanese setting. Look at her. She looks ordinary. Do you think she can play the lead part? The role is kind of complicated. And they will have her? I don't think so." The second female said sarcastically.

"Duh. Why make her the lead if there are many great actresses of her age can do better. After all, the lead role is half Japanese and half American, right? Make up can take care of that. Maybe the director pitied her so he gave her the servant of role, at least." The last one added with a grimace.

Hearing those words from them made his blood boil in anger. If only they were males, he could have given each of them a piece of his fist.

'Don't they dare underestimate Kyoko. Anyway, they're just jealous. I wonder what their reaction will be if they see Kyoko's abilities unleashed in front of them. They better eat their words soon.' He smirked to himself.

A little bit far from him, he turned his gaze to the right and saw Kyoko sitting quietly on a chair. His face lightened up at the sight of her. He changed his direction, walking towards to his classmate. And before he could reach her and seat beside her, he happen to passed by a group males.

"See that girl over there. That's my schoolmate. She's damn sexy. Her legs stretch for miles if she stands."

"Oh yeah, and I heard that she is going to play the lead."

"You're fucking kidding me, dude! I don't think she can do the role. She doesn't even show an ounce of the character's personality.

"Well, we just don't know yet. This is still the first day of our meeting. We can't just underestimate the director's choices. Hell, she's just sexy, I tell you. Maybe I can ask her out. She might be interested." He gave his companions a playful wink then he looked back at the Japanese girl who is now tapping on her tablet.

Now, this got France's ears. The last guy's words made him so out right pissed. Hurriedly, he walked closer to the girl and wrapped his arms from behind her.

"K-yo-koooo." He called suavely to her right ear. With this action, he heard the males groaned in defeat. "Man! Don't tell me she's France's girl!"

"France, will you get off of me? You're heavy!" she said irritatingly as she tried to shove him from behind.

"Ooops, sorry. I was not aware that I had added more weight on you."He grinned naughtily.

"May I have everybody's attention? Where are France and Miss Kyoko? Ah, there you are. Come with me for a moment. I need to have a word with you." It seems Mr. Jacob, the director had just arrived.

"We are here, sir!" They both answered in unison. This had made the director smirked.

"Well, then. Have you heard the news about the two of you in TV?" He asked. And this had made the other people in the room curious about it.

"Eh?" she got startled. 'Me on TV? Since when? With France?' she deliberated hardly.

"No. What is it about? With her? I don't remember any job or other television activity that involves her." He wondered as well.

"Don't you know that the two of you are rumored as celebrity couples? You better check it online. I think there is also an article about the two of you." He said, expecting some interesting reactions from the both of them especially from Kyoko. Since some people in the room have nothing to do, they put out their gadgets and searched about the 'couple' to satisfy their curiosity.

"What?" they both shouted in shock. With that, he showed the clip to them. This had made the rest of the cast whispering and murmuring to each other.

"Chill down, you two. I know that the both of you are sweet sometimes but let's put that aside, okay? I don't want to hear any blabbers related to that yet, okay?" He instructed promptly.

"Now that we have that issue now, I want the both of you appear together. This could make a good public exposure for the movie." He said.

"So, you're taking advantage of that? You want the two of us to act like a couple as part of promoting and selling this movie? But the movie will be released for a long time. Don't you think that it is still too early to schedule something like that?" France inquired. Deep inside, it was quite unbelievable news for him to take. On the bright side, he can use it as an advantage in getting Kyoko.

Kyoko, on the other hand is not listening to the director. She had her palms sweating in nervousness and anxiety. She couldn't take the news especially when she hasn't seen it by herself. This can cause a lot of problem for her. She had feared of how people will comment about her.

'Gaaah! I don't want Ren to see this! I don't want Ren ever to see this! I don't want him to get the wrong idea! Please, please, please! How can I be so careless with this! People will be disgusted on me especially….' Thoughts of her boyfriend rejecting her came into view. She can now feel the scorching pain on her chest.

'I have done a great effort of reaching this far but… waaaahhh! Please don't let this be an end of my career!' she wanted to cry but she knew well that there no use crying over spilled milk.

Uhm, excuse me, guys. Is there such thing in US show business that just shows gossips about actors/actresses just like what I did in this chapter? I mean, publicizing it to the media without the actors/actresses'/agency's permission? Actually, what I am aware is that they are usually found in tabloids. I don't know in television. So tell me.

Side from that, say something more about this chappie..

THANK YOU! :D
