Crunching his brows together Director Keegan scanned over the document he received and dialing few numbers trying to sort out this mess. But after few minutes of calling his mood seems to raise before it fell to rock bottom as his phone nearly shattered concert floor below. Throwing his head into his hand and looking towards the sky, Director Keegan looked ready to scream and curse out the heavens.
The producer who was standing nearby being the brave soul he was decided to ask what wrong.
“The Logging company that lost its heir last week pulling out it from its investment and backing up John by getting the best lawyers. But the reason for it is because the CEO got hold information that Lefu witnesses the death and wish to blame him for releasing himself from grief.”
Director Keegan explained while everyone who heard this was confused as didn’t the boy die in a car crash. In the article, they remember reading that a metal bar broke and was the cause of death. Sending over pity looks in Lefu direction as nothing worse than a madman with money.
“Lefu, does your family even have money?” Camilla asked.
Shaking his head, Lefu replied, “No, our family gym only worth about $160,000 and that with selling everything.”
“Should I get some of our lawyers to help?” Camilla asked.
“Unless the judge is seriously blind and see only bribe money I think I am fine,” Lefu replied after thinking for few moments.
Hearing that he wasn’t really bothered by it, Camilla made a mental note to ask her husband too but the company later. Now that she considered the Logging company finished she was thinking how to end John since he wants to create trouble. In the past anyone who tried to cause her pain or ones around her, she sees to ‘remove’ them.
A half hour slowly passed as they waited for the Director and Producer decided on the game plan for the rest of the day. The pair decided to have the Writers rewrite the scrips for the season and remove John role and him from the product. If John wants to stir up trouble, they will just remove him from the set and not put up with him.
“Alright let get back to reshooting the scene before we were interrupted,” Director Keegan Shouted toward the chatting actors who was distances away. Quickly running to their places, they prepared themselves as they wait for the signal to start.
“Action,” Keegan shouts, and the scene begins.
For this scene, it placed inside the Police station, and Michael is too report that vampire Crystal escape while releasing two knew vampire into town. But once inside instead of the Chief who played by John he finds the commissioner who played by Leon, if Lefu remembers correctly. The scene begins rolling as they had already changed it beforehand before John appeared so they could continue with the scene.
Watching from the side, Lefu was studying them again to increase his acting once again as he took an interesting raising his skills. He began watching how they add suspense and how they made the simple conversation seem to world ending when talking about two new vampires. Along with monitoring their speech pattern he also watched their body language sendoff signal to increase the tension of the problem.
Clare who was standing next to Lefu, just coldly glance at the set but also tried to learn from them. She watched and tried finding all the flaws in their acting so she can correct them herself. Unknown to her she began smiling which didn’t slip by Camilla who watches the two studying the scene.
“Lefu have you taken an interest in acting?” Camilla asked to bring Lefu attention to herself.
After hesitating a few seconds thinking about how to answers, “My goal is still to become a Fighter but being an actor on the side won’t be too bad. The only downside is that it takes away from training and would keep me active most of the time.”
“What about you Clare?” Camilla directed it over to Clare.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
“I don’t hate the industry as much but not a career I’m interested in,” Clare coldly stated.
‘How cold can her personality be, it is about to reach absolute zero,” Lefu commented in his mind. Failing to notice the changes in the way she interacts with him, he repletely fails to see warmer attitude he receives.
After ten minutes of watching the scene ends and Keegan mood begins to lift as he waits for the screen editors to look over the clip. Knowing that it's going to take a few minutes, he told them to take a break while he ran off to the snack table as he stress eater.
Grabbing both of Lefu and Clare, Camilla drags both near Keegan who was eating a handful of cookies. Taking his attention off the food, he looked over with an angrily look at who dares interrupted him but upon realizing who it was his mood skyrocket in happy land.
Taking a big swallow, he asked them, “What can I help you with?”
“I know it still early but do you mind if I take these two and leave since it doesn’t seem that they are going to be needed for the rest of the day. Also, I can train them some more so they will be even better tomorrow. But switch them out of their costumes before you leave,” Camilla sweetly asked.
Giving the question few second of thinking, he agreed. “If it were anyone else, I would say no, but since it, you asking and that I know you won’t be slacking off in their training I will agree.”
“Thanks, now let go you two,” Camilla stated dragging them out the door.
Watching the two get dragged away, Michael and Leon shuttered as they remember when they asked her for tips. The result from that left them with a few weeks of nightmares, but they did notice that they improved. So, with a quick thought, they sent a silent pray for those two to survive the training.
Outside the studio, Camilla quickly called Bill to come over and pick the three of them up again. Lefu who patiently waited for their ride to appear felt sad for Bill who had to wait for his next summons which could happen at any point. After a few minutes under the sun, the Black BMW appeared, and Bill ran around the car and opened the door for them.
“Lefu you sit in the back with Clare this time,” Camilla stated as she sat in the front seat.
Shrugging as he didn’t really mind at this point, he sat on the left side as Clare sat to his right.
***
Arriving at the Zurie mansion again, Lefu was amazed at the size once again as it just amazes him every time he comes here. The car slowly pulled up to the door where a group of maids assembled to greet them as they exited the vehicle. Looking over the maids, Lefu was stunned as most of them are quite pretty enough to work as models or actress.
“See any you like? But too bad for you as you can look but not touch,” Clare comment trying to tease him but sound more criticizing him.
A silent sigh escape from Lefu as he didn’t have enough to energy to continue the conversation and just followed her into the house. After walking into the house, it finally registers that she was trying to tease him, but it is to reply now.
“Follow me,” Camilla said leading for nearly five minutes before they arrived at a large empty room. Inside the room, few steps were leading up the floor that was elevated few feet up creating a small stage inside.
Lefu who was standing next to Clare suddenly felt her shake a tiny bit as she looked at the room in terror. Clueless on why she suddenly started shaking he walked bravely in, where Camilla suddenly transformed and with a cold and evil glint in her eyes. Pulling out a small whip which been made not to leave marks she began whipping him.
“What with that walk, straighten your back, puff out your chest…” Camilla said while whipping the parts, she was criticizing. After nearly twenty whips all over his body, Lefu felt soreness as they weren’t light and he doesn’t get joy from the pain it made it even worst.
“Clare what are you waiting for,” Camilla somehow warp behind Clare and gave her a quick boot from behind. Crashing into the back of Lefu, both of them fell with Lefu face-planting while Clare somehow to enter his shirt while blushing beet red.
“Pervert,” Lefu mumbled as he looked up from the ground, ‘Also anime lied to me as the guys are supposed to be the lucky ones, not the victims’.
Grabbing few more grabs over his body, Clare praised the amount the muscles he was hiding below his clothing. Quickly pulling her hands out she stood up and backed away from him while she put on her cold look again, but hints of red appeared.
“Why do you seem like you were the one taken advantage of?” Lefu asked as he notices those other feels.
“Cough~, what are you talking about,” Clare replied with a slight cough but refuse to look at him.
“Snap~, Snap~.”
Two blows from the whip landed on them as they got distracted. Slowly turning back to the source, they saw Camilla with black aura floating behind her. With cold sweat running down their back they slowly backed away but was soon stopped when a wall appeared.
“This is scary,” Lefu mumbled.
“This isn’t even the scary part,” Clare mumbled in reply.
Resisting the urge to throw Clare in front of him, Lefu slowly slides across the wall heading toward the door. As if in the thinking the same thing, Clare followed his lead but the once open-door slam shut and with a click from the other side they were locked in.
“Clare, you survived few days with her training, right? It's not that bad right,” Lefu had to ask.
“I don’t remember what happens after the fourth hour passed, “Clare simple replied crashing his hope of lighter training than the aura she giving off.
