Chapter 10 Found Ten

Today is my first day as Vince's stylist assistant. And when I arrived at their location shoot, I feel like I was on cloud nine. I longed to dream of experiencing this. Vince introduced me to the staff, director, writer, and of course, to his co-actors. Well, I am not surprised that they were intrigued when Vince introduce me to them. We just became a hot topic. But the good thing is after we gave them an explanation, they already stop from intriguing us. I had a happy first day so far, and I am okay with my work. I prepared so much for it. I did a lot of research for Vince's role. Of course, I don't want Vince's character to look unrealistic. You may think that the artists' costumes are just a small part of the production, but they are not. Because it can also make or break the artist. Especially now that we are in the world of social media where all the people became a critic. The first scene is over. The shoots today are far from my imagination. Some scenes are being filmed now, but that scene is still far from the story. So as a stylist, I also need to consider that. That's why sometimes when you watch a film, you will notice that sometimes the scene is not consistent, so you already know who to blame. I watched something before when the character in the story had a mustache at home, and then when he was driving, it suddenly disappeared. So now it explains everything. I thought it was the editor who commits the mistakes. It's their break time now. That's why I'm here in Vince's tent; Julia is the lead actress in their drama, and Daniel is the lead actor. Vince is only the second lead in the drama, but his role is good, so I am not surprised why he agreed to take the second lead role. And another thing I enjoyed a lot is the reunion of Julia and Daniel's love team because I don't know why this network just thought of it now. Like they have great chemistry. I know there is also something in these two. Daniel is so apparent. "Alli, why don't you try to be an actress?" Julia asked me. I smiled at her. "I'm not comforted with on cam." Honestly, I said. Julia frowned. "Why are you not comfortable on camera? You're so beautiful." I was embarrassed by what Julia said. "Because I'm very conscious in front of the camera. I'm okay working off cam." "You'll be trained for that. That's the reason why we do the workshop. Your concern is very workable." Julia said. I just smiled. I don't know what to answer her because I was too overwhelmed by our conversation. I admire her a lot. Talking to her is a dream come true. "She's right, Alli; we can include you in the drama so that Vince will not be miserable in the end," Daniel added. "You two stop teasing me. I entered here as a stylist and not as an actress." I told them. "You and Vince looked good together." Julia teased. "You and Daniel also look good together. So tell me, is there something going between the two of you?" So now it's my turn to tease them. I saw them both blushed. Got you guys! 'What happens? Why can't you guys answer me?" I tease them again. 'Nothing is going on between the two of us," Julia said, but she stutters a bit. 'Okay, fine if that's what you say." I just told them. 'But Alli, we are looking for another second lead actress for Vince. Do you want to try the audition? It will be a hit, especially now that the two of you are on the hot topic in showbiz!" Daniel's mom butt in. She is also with us in the tent. Maybe it is also the reason why the two can't answer me. 'Auntie, I prefer to work off cam," I answered her respectfully. 'You prefer, or you feel like you are more suitable off cam? I am telling you, you are so beautiful! You will pass as an actress. Many celebrities can't act, but with the help of workshops, they improve a lot. Because no matter what you need to improve, the workshop will help you achieve it." Daniel's Mom keeps on convincing me. I was about to answer when Vince butt in. 'Oh no, Auntie, don't try to steal my stylist. She's the best stylist so far that handled me. So don't try to convince her, I beg you." Vince said with matching puppy eyes. Auntie was about to answer when the staff called Julia, Daniel, and Vince to start the shoot. He taps me on my shoulder. I thank him for saving me from that conversation. It was almost lunch when Vince and I got home, and we went straight home because the whole group was also there. "How's the shoot?" Lance asked when he saw me. "Tiring but fun. Finally, I was able to experience it." I told them happily. I enjoy it. It's very tiring but worth it. It's different when you like what you do; even if you don't have enough sleep and feel tired, it's worth it. "Have you rested yet?" Andrew asked in concern. "Yes. We slept on the set and in the car, so we regained our strength." I answered him. "Okay. So let's have lunch first." Lance said. We were happily eating our lunch while Vince and I keep on telling them about what happened during the shoots and also about how Daniel's mom convinced me to be an actress. That gave Mike a reason to tease me again. 'By the way, I heard you have someone to teach how to drive as per Auntie Elise's request?" Mike asked Andrew. "Yes. Her name is Anne, and she is their new product marketing director." Andrew said. "That Anne seems very important for you to teach her personally? Is she related to them?" Vince asked curiously. "At first, I was also surprised. But when I met her with Lieo there, I understood why." Andrew said while giving a knowing smile. "What's with Anne and Lieo?" Lance curiously asked. "She's Lieo's girlfriend?" Vince guessed. "Not...yet," Andrew said in a teasing tone. "You mean?" Lance said. "Lieo definitely likes her. But it looks like she hasn't made a move to win that girl yet." Said, Andrew. "What? When did he become shy with the girl he likes?" Mike said. "Just now? Well, I can't blame him. That girl is gorgeous and smart." Andrew said, smiling. It was as if something suddenly hit my left chest. Does he also like Anne? And who is that Lieo?
