Chapter 1: Meet the famous actor

Jenna's POV:

I was sitting in my room, continuing my story on laptop when Mr. Kim knocked on my door "Come on Miss Brook, we don't have much time left!"

"Coming Mr. Kim!"

I got up from the chair, dressed in a white top black jeans, a coat and wore black heels to finish the outfit. My hair is tied in a bun and I was ready to go. When I came out, Mr. Kim had already gone out. I walked to the black luxurious car, opened the door and sat at the back seat, which was exactly where he usually sits. Anytime I make an attempt to sit at the front seat, he lectures me on why I'm his secretary and why I should mostly be beside him.

Anyway, when I sat in, John started the engine and I greeted Mr. Kim.

"Good morning Mr. Kim." I said smiling warmly.

He looked at me with an annoyed face. "It's been 5 minutes and you finally decided to come out. And what's good about the morning?"

"I'm so sorry Mr. Kim. It won't happen again." I bowed my head in order to show my respect.

"Whatever. John, drive."

Seriously?! I don't understand him one bit.

John started the engine and drove.

This man sitting beside me comfortably is a famous actor but not just any actor the very best, actually. He's handsome, has brown hair and brown eyes and has a great fashion sense. His mom is a famous fashion designer while his dad a movie producer who owns a freaking company in which most actors or actresses signed up for. So basically, what I'm tryna say is, he's annoying but his life is full of perfection.

While mine is not so perfect. My mom's a pharmacist and my dad's in a car company named Fantastic Cars Aka FC. I know I should be happy that my parents are somehow rich but Mr. Kim is filthy rich which mostly makes me feel small compared to him. The reason why I agreed to work as his secretary is cuz he needs someone who will keep track of things for him. He's got so many friends but he tries to avoid them. I'm here to keep him company.

••••••••••••••••••••

We arrived at the garden to continue with their acting. The celebrities were there too. The drama is called "It's my life." It has romantic scenes in it and Mr. Kim is the male lead of that drama. Phoebe Terrell is the female lead.

When we walked to where the scene was supposed to be taken place, Miss Phoebe saw Mr. Kim and ran to hug him. "Hello Xavier. I'm so glad you made it. I was thinking you wouldn't come."

"Hello Phoebe." He said coldly, pushed her away and continued his walk to his *temporary changing room.

(*It's temporary cuz they take some scenes at different places.)

"Wait! I just wanted to talk to you."

He stopped and turned to her . "I don't have time for chit chat. I have to go change. The shooting is in 7 minutes."

After saying this he walked away.

I know I said he's got many friends and Phoebe's one of them. She has a crush on him but, he seems to ignore every move she makes on him. He hates the word "romance" and anything concerning it. Anytime the movie directors make him the male lead, they tell him to act out a romance scene.

Then, he tells them to rewrite the script or else he's gonna give them a bad review. And no one wants a bad review from Mr. Kim. Instead of kisses, he told them a hug should be okay if they want it to be a romance movie. It's believed that because of his anger issues, he had never dated before he's gone on blind dates before but it didn't work out. He doesn't really have anger issues. Some people just make him annoyed.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Before entering his changing room, he said, "Stand on guard Miss Brook. Don't make anyone come in here."

"Yes, Mr. Kim!" I saluted him and he entered his room.

He came out five minutes later looking even better than before.

"Let's go, Miss Brook." He said.

I nodded and followed him till we got to where the shooting was going to be. The director told them where to stand so they could start shooting. Mr. Kim acted beautifully and I was mesmerized by him. He's just so good at it.

********************

After two hours of shooting, we were finally ready to leave when Miss Phoebe came to Mr. Kim.

"Hello again, Xavier. I wanted to talk to you since you were avoiding me through the breaks."

He sighed out of exhaustion. "What do you want to talk about?"

It was shocking that today he wanted to listen to her.

He turned to look at me. "Miss Brook, how much time do we have left?"

"Uhh, we have 2 minutes more before your next schedule, sir." I answered, quickly checking the time on my phone.

He turned back to Miss Phoebe and folded his arms. "You heard her clearly so, talk fast."

"Oh okay. I just wanted to say can we hang out sometime? It's been long since we hanged out together."

"I'm way too busy to be going to places that are not gonna be beneficial to me. Have a good day Phoebe."

He was about to leave when Phoebe grabbed his hand. "Please Xavier, don't walk out on me."

"Watch me." He pulled his hand from her grip and walked away, elegantly with me following right behind him.

I could see how sad she looked which made me feel kinda bad for her.
