I was in the middle of the shoot. Right after the director said 'cut', i went back to my seat and the makeup artist came to touch up
"Miss jane may i ask you something!"
"What is it?"
"Are you by any chance collaborating with flame dragon?"
'Flame Dragon' is the name of the freds' channel
"A.. Yeah"
She immediately shared the this to the other coworkers beside her with excitement.
And soon whispers filled the set.
"Hii jane, everyone is pretty excited about your collaboration" (a handsome tall man sat next to her)
What's with this 'handsome tall' man?
He is Sharek. The male lead of this movie and a very famous actor in hollywood.
"Yeah. We just decided it today"
"Well. I wonder what is this surprise gift cause you guys got everyone pretty hyped up on it. It's better be good hahaha"
"Haha even i have no idea what it is"
At that point i got a bit tense when he said that.
I thought 'what if it gets too much notice and then turns out to be a disappointment'. People was gonna laugh right?. But i couldn't even say fred to make it grand it was a gift after all, how could i ask for it.
I immediately checked the internet, i saw tags from fred. It was from the stories and the photos we took at noon. And i saw millions of likes, views, comments and thousands of share. I was getting tons of notifications.
Then suddenly i noticed rose behind me.
She understood my mood immediately
"Don't worry miss jane, he knows what he is doing. I mean he also has a reputation that he is worried about and he was probably well aware of your immense popularity too"
I nodded to her. That was a bit reassuring coming from a fan and an assistant. I know this was stupid to take her words for fred but rose was always a very calculative girl and an excellent assistant with expertise in information gathering. So i just felt a bit relaxed.
"Is everything alright?"
Sharek asked after hearing our conversation
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Yeah it’s fine. Well then see you tomorrow. Good work" (standing up from her seat to leave)
"Yeah you too" (with a smile he also left)
And then at exactly 12:00 we packed up and reached home at 12:20.
"Congratulations jane sama" (she sounds so happy)
I was lying on my bathtub soaking the fatigues from today in the warm water. Atori was washing my hair as she was congratulating me.
"Should i massage your shoulder?"
"Actually do you know how to massage the whole body?"
"Yes yes i do know i've seen many tutorials and everytime i went to massage spa's with you, i have been taking notes from there" (thats our head maid)
I brought the massage room next my bathroom immediately and laid down on the bed and enjoyed a pretty great massage by atori.
Aaahh~ that was lovely.
"jane sama do you know what the surprise gift actually is?"
"Nope"
"Don't you have any idea?"
"Nope"
"Ha. Actually this question is now pretty popular amoang your fans 'what the surprise gift is' and they makes funny reels on this hahaha"
"What!"
It feels like whatever i say good or bad or even neutral, they all just somehow celebrates it. I don't know how should i feel about this.
After a while inglis connected to me.
"Master we found a lead"
"Emergency?"
"No we can talk tomorrow. You may rest tonight"
After that friyena incident i now never block my thought transmission and perception view. Cause I felt guilty (you should be)
TWO WEEKS LATER
"Miss jane how are you doing?"
"Ahh fred is it. Im good how about you?"
"Well im doing great and busy but it's finally the time for the reveal of your gift"
Ok that was a news for me.
He asked me for a specific date to shoot the video of handing over the gift to me. We then discussed our schedule over the phone to come up with a day suitable for both of us. And thus another uproar started.
""have you seen the new story of flame dragon?""
"""Finally we'll get to know what is the gift is"""
"" im reaaally looking forward to it""
""" i just hope its something good enough to resonate the hype and the anticipation"""
"Yeah me too" (me three)
