Calter is in extreme pain but Kence was not in a better condition than him. Both of them are hurting but their circumstances prevented them from being truly happy
One cares about his status and the other cares about his own feelings. They love each other but love is not always enough
In disappointment that his lover can't endure all the challenges with him, Calter stood up from Kence's bed with a sad expression on his face
"I'll go now. Calm yourself first and we will talk again"
Calter is disappointed but he still doesn't want to lose Kence
"Just go, there is nothing for us to talk about" Kence replied in a tired tone and Calter can only walk away in which every step he took felt like he was walking with a path filled with thorns
After Kence can't see Calter's back anymore, he releases a distressful sigh and laid his body in the bed just to stare at the ceiling blankly
"Be strong" Kence muttered to himself and pushed down all of his agitated emotions
Kence moved his body to the side and took his phone on top of the table. Fortunately, he put it in silence before he slept last night
If not, the buzzing from his phone would surely irritate him. There were a lot of notifications, messages, and missed calls that he received
"I'll just finish my contract and quit" Kence said to himself. He already 'disgraced' himself last night because of the gossipers and also made a scene with Calter
There is surely a smear in his name already. Too bad that there is still a year before his current contract will end
Kence ignored all of his notifications and called his Manager Jang. He had a shooting yesterday morning but he didn't attend it. When he looks at the time, he saw that it was already 10 am in the morning and he is already late with the current shooting
With a sigh, Kence braced himself for an endless round of nagging
It only took one ring before Kence's call was answered and he immediately moved his phone away from his ears
"Kence Russel Crosmoner where have you been?! Not only you did not attend the shooting yesterday but you are also late today!"
"Furthermore, what did you do last night?! It was fine if you lash out with the people at the club but you just had to let people record it! Fortunately, your fans were not angered as they agreed with your words that celebrities are also humans but how can you be so reckless?!"
"Not only that but you also made a scene with Mr. Calter Sternix! Didn't I told you to make sure to keep your relationship a secret?! Even if Mr. Calter is not an actor, he is still famous with a lot of people monitoring his actions! His fans want to kill you now for stealing their so-called husbands! "
Kence can't help but roll his eyes in helplessness. Once this manager of him starts nagging, it was hard to stop him. He didn't even bother listening to his manager's words anymore and cut him iff
"I'll be there soon!" Kence replied before ending the call and turned off his phone
He quickly cleaned himself in the shower and ate with his mother before driving his card towards the shooting location
It was located in a large office room. When Kence arrives, he saw that the atmosphere was not looking good and he knew that this was because of him
Tons of hostile pair of eyes threw daggers at him. Even if Kence wants to be angry, he can't since this thing is originally his fault
The shooting was surely delayed because of him causing these people's time to be wasted. Kence might have a temper but he still knows right from wrong
When the director saw Kence, his reaction was the same as the others. His eyes were filled with so much anger he looks as if he wants to chew Kence alive
Fortunately, the director this time is known to be someone that doesn't talk much. Even if he was angry, he would just look at you as if he was killing you in his mind
That makes a lot of people uncomfortable and they rather have a director that will scold them for their mistakes rather than a director that will kill them with their looks for at least a few days
As for Kence, he doesn't mind being stared at. It was better than getting his ear bursts from all the nagging he will receive
"You finally arrived!" In the corner, Manager Jang walks out and Kence didn't dare greet him. He doesn't want to bear another round of nagging
Kence tactfully retreated and went into the director's side and apologized to him for his neglectful attitude
The director didn't say anything but the way he looks at Kence will really make people uncomfortable
"Ready yourself" the director spat out after a few seconds and Kence let out a sigh of relief before walking towards the dressing room
Kence didn't pay attention to all the eyes staring at him. No matter how they look at him, they wouldn't be able to hurt him so why bother?
As Kence is the main star of this movie, he has his own dressing room where they made him change clothes
Kence changed into a formal suit before the make-up artists did their magic to his face. His hair was also arranged neatly that gave him a domineering CEO look
In this movie, Kence is precisely a CEO. In the light, he was a rich man that dominated the market and in the dark, he also has a lot of underground dealings
His name was well known in the world and many people want him dead. The most important scene today was an assassination attempt in his life
This movie is an action movie as he refrains from any romance movie or tv series as much as possible. Calter is a jealous man and he doesn't want Kence to make a romantic movie with anyone especially if there would be some bed scenes
Since Kence was extremely late and he didn't attend the shooting yesterday, the make-up artists didn't dilly dally and did their work as fast as they can while not harming the quality
Well, since Kence is already handsome with masculine features, they didn't need to do much to make him look like a stunning and domineering CEO
When the make-up artists were done only then did Kence remembered something
This movie happened two years ago. He naturally forgot all of his lines already. This causes him to panic a bit and he ordered the people in the room to get the script
Kence wanted to finish this project as soon as possible causing him to forget such an obvious thing
Seeing Kence's urgency, the staff went in a hurry to fulfill his request
"Please also tell the director that I'll need ten more minutes" Kence said with an embarrassed look on his face
He already wasted a lot of people's time yet he still needs ten more minutes. How can he not feel embarrassed by this?
Just thinking of the amount of hate he will gather because of this, Kence can't help but sigh. He doesn't particularly care about what other people think about him but if they bother him because of this, it would be irritating
As expected, the staff becomes dissatisfied but just kept their silence in front of Kence
After all, Kence is not a small artist they can bully. He was one of the biggest stars of their agency. They can only swallow their anger
Soon, a folder containing the script was given to Kence and he skips to the part that he needs to shoot today
Fortunately, Kence can memorize the things he read even if he only read them once. The thing he needs to focus on was the emotions that he needs to show on the screen
Since the scene today is an assassination scene, there weren't that many lines and it didn't take a long time for Kence to memorize them but he still adjusted his self with the remaining time that he had
When half of the 5 minutes was used up, the dressing room door was suddenly opened revealing a short man with pink hair
His face has a passive expression on it giving him a refined image. However, due to his facial features, people can't help but have the urge to pinch his cheeks and treat him like a child
"Excuse me, can you leave us alone first?" Rhash politely asked the crew inside. These people know of Rhash's background and they didn't dare antagonize him
Rhash's fame is almost equal to Kence's but he has a big family behind him. Thus, they were more mindful of their actions towards Rhash than Kence
As soon as the crew were all gone, Rhash immediately runs towards Kence and gave his friend a tight hug
"Kenceeee! I realized how hard it is without you!!" Rhash said like a child causing Kence to roll his eyes
"If it's hard then stop being a pretentious bastard" Kence said in annoyance pertaining to how Rhash usually acted in front of other people
