Chapter 4- Luca

Chapter 4- Luca

I was drinking an expensive soda in my expensive car on my way to have an expensive lunch..... I knew it, i love this expensive intro (rich people shit)

Rose was sitting beside me having phone calls with diffrent people about my meetings, contract and all sort of things. After departing from photographic studio, it took us approximately 30 minutes to reach the luncheon log. Luncheon log is on the left side of my mansion while the photographic studio on the right. So if i go there from home it would take nearly 15 minutes. This log is the most famous tourist spot in this town. So even a new comer knows this address.

"Miss jane we are here" after letting me know about our arrival, rose handed me my purse and touched up my hair a bit. I was wearing a retro type swing dress matte leaf green colour. With a pair of black stiletto semi heel which had bows in the back. A chained shoulder purse. It’s not the only way i dress though. I dressed like this today cause i feel like it. Anyway tomorrow maybe i'll be a tomboy. (Someday maybe a horse!)

My driver and rose got down first and opened the car door for me. I got down in the entrance of the log. Right after watching me getting down, the gate keepers opend the log gate for me and of caurse i went in. Rose was following me. Upon entering i headed straight to the reception desk there i found MR SED. One of the most famous director of hollywood. The movie industry of Guarddegon. Everyday people strive to get one chance here and the chance came walking to me to offer himself.

He is a middle aged man with a lot of botox and beauty filters. Probably nearly 7 feet tall, a white man in Purplish blue suit without any tie. with freckles, reddish brown hair (i bet it's also fake)

Well not like it's a big deal. Cause in this era everything is fake anyway.

"Hii miss jane, It's really nice meeting you"

We shook hands. his tone of speech was also quite gentlemanly. So far so good.

"Thank you so much mr sed. It's a pleasure to meet you"

Gotta return the feeling.

"Plz come with me i've prepared a vvip dining room for us. And we can talk while we are at it "

"Yes sure. Please lead the way"

With that rose and i followed him to a pretty big room with a round table in the middle. It was in the second floor a private vvip room. Some of his attendees were standing guard out side the room. The room was glamorous. Everything was reflecting shine, a huge chandelier and all sorts of eye catching decorations.

Sed pulled a chair for me and rose set on my right while sed set on my left. There were five chairs but seems like the table was originally meant to hold more than eight chairs. Because of the reduced chairs, the distance between everyone's seats were a bit more than usual. Other than us, there were a girl named suzy and a boy named simon. Suzy set on the left of sed and simon set on right of rose. The surrounding is so quiet that i could almost hear my breath. After everyone was seated down, sed started to formally introduce his acquaintances to me.

"Miss jane this is suzy here the script writer of this project" (pointing at suzy)

"Hii i'm really happy to meet you " ( 'blushing'! is she a fan? Or just shy!)

"And meet simon, producer" (pointing at simon)

Simon, i never heard of him before (giving a questioning look)

"Well you might be wondering about him as he is not so well known. But i can reassure he is such a good man" (he read through her)

"Aa,a. No i didn’t mean that. I was just thinkin if i have heard of you or not. That's all" (nervous smile)

After the brief introduction some waitresses came in to serve us food. Though it was a electronical rotating table but service is service. Tha table in front of me was full diffrent sort of delicacies. One look and you get drunk with the beauty of every dish. Aroma of the room had changed. And at that moment all i wanted was to eat but sed wasn’t planning the same (miss jane! Nah miss gluttony)

"So miss jane, as you know it's a movie with a great production value. That's why we are casting with a careful hand but im casting you despite You're not being an actress, is a gamble. If you ask me why im persuing you then i'll be honest with you it's because of your fame" (he said all this while chewing his food!)

Wow, so straight. Too straight. At this point i don't know how to respond on this. So i just awkwardly smiled

"Ehhehehe...hehee" (what in the world is this kind of laugh)

"In just one year you gained so popularity that rivals those top of a stars. And of course this fame won't last forever if you don't invest it. Like the money when it comes invast it so it'll come doubled"

Well he isn’t wrong. Fame won't last after some time when the hype goes down, fame goes down, career goes down, money goes down. So before everything goes down, invest it so it'll only double rather than going down.

"I understand what you mean. But I'd like to ask something of you"

"Let's hear"

"If i like the project's everything and all, I'd like you to take my audition like any other. And if i pass it only then sign me in". (With serious and a determined face)

Hearing it everyone fell silent in the room no clinching sound of fork and knife and all eyes on me.

And suddenly sed started laughing

"Aahahahaahahahahaa. Very well, very well. Im really proud of you. I have been in this industry for more then 30 years and worked with many talent and napo's. But i never saw a shortly success person would say something like this upfront. They are mostly blinded by the fame they get. But you are different. I've encountered very few like you in my life . Very well" (sounds like a 'completed hidden quest')

"Soo...?"

"I'll take your audition as you wished " (satisfied expression all over the face)

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Then for the rest of the time we ate and talked about the script, destinations, my role, the story and etc.

After finishing the food the waitresses came to fetch the dishes

And i went to washroom to touchup my lipstick a bit

"Excuse me please"

With a nod i left the room. Rose followed me to the washroom. It was a bit further in by the corridor of the second floor. Not too far from our dining room. In there, was a big hall with big stand mirror's and couches and on the left wall of the hall were 3 doors. Rose and i went into a same door and there it was like a small corridor with three other door in one side and two basins with mirror on the wall of the other side. The three door was actually three toilets. This was probably the same for the other two door from the hallway. (Is it a restroom or a queens cabinet!)

Rose went out first after using the toilet, and i came out just a bit after rose but what i saw was really unexpected

"Interesting" (with a smirk)

Rose was lying on the couch, unconscious. (AND IT'S INTERESTING TO YOU!)

Some one was there. The presence wasn’t this intense when we first came in. I thought it was probably someone else using the toilet. Thats why i deliberately didn’t choose the door from where the presence was coming, but i guess it was just waiting there for an opening or we were some obstacles.

I looked around but no one was 'IN' there. Coz someone was hiding outside of the window and i could sense it without a doubt. And they will eventually gonna come out. So first i went to check on rose. She was pinched with a niddle infused with sleeping material. While i was checking on her i heared footsteps coming closer from my back. I didn’t turned back nor did i flinch. I sensed a gun pointed on me. After hearing the loading sound, i turned around. It was a young boy who was holding a gun. Wearing a cosplay musk of a bear.

The first thing he said is

"You are done now"

"Hi kid" (he is a teenager though)

"Im not a kid, im your doom. Just like you bought doom into my life"

Ok, at that point i was a bit confuse. I would never ruin a kids life. Unless he was a dark magic user. To check that out i casted a circle that isn’t visible to anyone but to magic users only. (Wait! YOU CAN USE CIRCLE MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

WA!!!!!T, did i just said it like that?!. HOW could i revealed it so carelessly!. It was supposed to be a GRAND SHOCKING revelation, Oh shit!!.............. (Ok,,,,,, let's end this acting. We all knew you can use the most higher level of magic just like any other protagonist. Huhh¡).

..................ARE YOU MOCKING ME! 💢.

Anyways. this is not the most important matter here. Right now we should think that the boy neither reacted nor did he saw the circle at all. So that means he had no magic capacity nor any magic. So i turned the circle into a paralyzing factor. And right that moment his legs gave up and with a thud he fell on the ground. Right after falling he regained his balance and pointed his gun toward me. Of course i could finish him in a blink of an eye but then again it isn’t like i had anything better to do after finishing him. (Are you for real!)

"I'll kill you bitch" (with a disgusted look)

His face and eyes were full of hatred. The feeling is so pure that it could indulge any love and leave nothing. Maybe because love nowadays doesn’t come with this much purity and hating someone with all your heart is easier.

"See, I'm not gonna kill you if you tell me why are you doing this?"

I wasn’t going to kill him anyway untill i know his reason, doesn’t matter how long it takes and what kind of method it takes. I was planning on playing with him a little more but ALAS!. A man came looking for me. He knocked on the restrooms door

"Miss jane are you ok?!"

I didn’t have any other choice but to go back. I had already been there in the restroom for more then 10 minutes. I needed to get back or they would think i had diarrhea. I opened the door and it was a super tall bulky man standing in front of me like a mountain.

"I'm alright, my secretary wasn’t feeling so good so she needed sometime. But we will be right back. You can go first"

He gave me a nod and left. Well the door was wide open, then why didn’t he saw anything?!, why didn’t the boy screamed for help!?. He did scream, he was right there sitting on the ground and rose lying on the couch but everything was invisible to the man that just visited us. To him the room was all empty and the only voice that could be heard was mine. It called manipulative magic. It has a lot of option or branch magic if i say. I put the illustration of the empty room in his mind where rose and the boy doesn’t appear, just it. Anyways for now coming back to the matter at hand. I couldn’t afford to play with the boy anymore so i connected my thought to inglis.

"Where are you" (master mode on)

"Master im....

" actually doesn't matter come here. And take care of this boy and let me know everything later" ( let him at least finish!)

In an instant inglis appeared out of thin air and bowed before me. Then i snapped and disinfected rose

"Wake up"

She set down with a blurred mind so i gave my next command or like you can say casted the magic

"Nothing out of ordinary happened here"

I gave one look at inglis and he instantly understood he gotta leave now. So he gave me another bow and left or should i say vanished with the boy. Rose came to senses, so we went back to the dining room.

After another session of meeting, we decided a date for my audition and then nearly at 4 pm i left the log and headed to the mansion.

****

THAT DAY AFTER EVENING

I was taking a relaxation bath. One of the maid gave me some massage and then i was soaking myself into the bathtub. I was just about to get up when inglis connected to me

"Master, im here with the boy"

That probably means the boy is well prepared by now by inglis.

"Alright. I'll be in the dining room in 30 minutes"

With that saying i got up to get ready. I don't like one piece sleeping gowns. I like t-shirt and sweatpants or maybe silk shirt with maching pajama it just have to be two piece. Getting down the stairs i could hear everyones whispers. Not like i couldn’t hear them in bathtub if i wanted to. They are all curious to know about this new comer. I went straight to the dining table. That day it was beside the stairs.

Upon seeing me everyone bowed all together then sat on the table only inglis was still standing and behind him was standing the boy.

"So. Please begin the report"

In the meantime atori and the others were serving us food.

"Master if you remember we had a few casualties during the extermination of friyena cult. He is one of the victime. His whole family died when the building they reside in fell down which includes his father, mother and his younger sister" (everyone's grasping voice could be heard)

"He was out of the building for which he is the only one who survived and decided to take revenge for his loss"

I couldn't help but give an intense questioning glance to inglis. He understood my 'why someone who isn’t even associated with dark magic knows about our involvement' question look. (WHATS WITH THIS LONG SENTENCED QUETION LOOK!!!, it doesn’t even make sense)

"For the last three months he has been searching for clues to get to you " (what kind of top magician protagonist gets revealed so easily by a normal teenager!! Pft)

Don't 'pft' me 💢.

I never let inglis or anyone guard me. I gave them clear order 'show up only when i call for you'. I never thought development can be so scary that a kid like him can find me in just three months. So i never bothered having my perceiving magic or go through detail work by myself.

But what exactly inglis was doing!?

"I'm sorry master, this boy told me he didn’t found the leads all by himself. Someone was providing them with information but this kids doesn’t know from who exacrly they were getting those info's. They are said to be from dark web"

Now i have so many questions.

"By 'kids' you mean!"

"Yes master. He wasn’t alone his whole friend group was helping him"

At this point i and inglis both were certain about the informer of dark web. Someone who was helping these kids with information that leads to me. Someone who knows about me exterminating the cult. It is none other than a cult member. But the question is why would the help a kid with such a valuable information!

"So kid whats your name? "

At that point the boy spoke for the first time after coming to the mansion

"Im luca"
