The next day...
Natalie keep on avoiding Jian, though she go with him on the set, but she never talked to him.
Today is Victoria and Jian's scene.
"Cut!" The director shouted.
It is Victoria's 10th NG!
The scene is the main leads' first met which is the female lead (Victoria) slipped on the road and the male lead Jian came and rescued her before she could fall to the ground.
Natalie silently watch them from a far.
She can see the awkwardness through Victoria's eyes.
Is there something going on between them?
Hmm... I can smell something fishy!
"Nana!" Natalie almost jumped out of fright when someone called her from behind.
Natalie turned her head to see the person who called her.
"Mr. Zhou!" She blurted out when she saw Stephen.
"Hi there!" Stephen said.
He walked closer to her and stand beside her.
The two of them watched Victoria and Jian.
There's silence between the two of them but Stephen was the one who broke it.
"Nana, I... I just want to apologize for what I said to Victoria yesterday." Stephen said.
"I should have not said that to her." Stephen added. "She might be just curious about you that's why she asked about you." He explained.
"Why would she be curious about me?" Natalie finally spoke.
"Uh," stephen titled his head to Natalie's direction. "I assumed that she still has a feeling towards Jian that is why she asked about you because you arrived with Jian yesterday. " Stephen said.
'Feelings towards Jian?' Natalie thought.
"Not everybody knows about it, but Victoria is Jian's ex-girlfriend."
"Ex-girlfriend?" Natalie repeated while looking at Stephen.
"En..." Stephen nodded.
Natalie looked at Victoria again.
'Oh! So, now I know, why!'
--------
"Jian!"
Jian's footsteps came to a stop when someone called him.
He turned and found Victoria.
Victoria walked closer to Jian.
What is it?" He asked with a serious expression in his face.
" J-Jian, I... I just want to talk to you." Victoria said.
"Talk about what?" Jian asked again.
"Jian, please don't treat me like this..." Victoria said with her head lowered. "I know I have wronged you... But, that was two years ago! Can't we just forget the past and start a new friendship?"
Jian raised the corner of his lips.
"Victoria, I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, but I am over it! I have already forget the things between us."
Victoria almost choked!
Yes! She's expecting it!
But why does she feel the pain in her heart?
Yes! She dumped him two years ago, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't love him!
She know, she made a big mistake for choosing wealth over love and she's regretting it now!
She thought that wealth would make her happy and she could just forget Jian easily, but she never!
If only she could turn back time, she would!
And she would choose Jian over that wealthy old man!
(A/N: Oh! Victoria is such a gold digger!)
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Victoria snapped back to her senses.
I want to say I still love you after two years. And I want you to be back to me.
Victoria wanted to say it to Jian, but she did not dare to.
"I guess you're done, so I should go now." He said and then he turned to leave but Victoria suddenly embrace him from behind!
Natalie stopped in her track when she saw Victoria and Jian!
She's going to the restroom and she didn't expect to witness this scenario!
Victoria is embracing Jian from behind!
'Tsss!' Natalie secretly scoffed.
'Public display of affection! Hmmp! He seems like he is enjoying her hug, anyway!' And then she turned and walk away from the place.
--------
Jian get up from his bed. It's still early but he decided to get up to prepare for their breakfast. He didn't sleep well last night, Nana haven't talked to him yet and he is trying to find a way how to coax her.
When he's done to cook, he arranged the foods on the table before he turned to go to Natalie's room to wake her up for breakfast.
But coincidentally, Natalie had just arrived in the kitchen.
The two of them looked at each other, but Natalie was the one who turned back and walk out of the kitchen.
"Eh! Nana! "
Jian quickly chased after her and embraced her from behind!
Jian tightened his embrace to Natalie and he rested his chin in her shoulder.
Natalie's footsteps automatically came to a stop!
She can feel the warmth of Jian's breath!
Her body stiffened and her heartbeat suddenly become faster!
Natalie don't know whether to push him away or just let him embrace her!
"H-Hey Jian! What are you doing?!" Natalie asked nervously.
"Embracing you from behind!" Jian replied.
'I know right! What I mean to say is...'
"Why are you doing this?!" Natalie asked again.
"Because you don't want to talk to me and you always avoided me." Jian said and he took a deep breath.
"I know I was wrong and I'm sorry about it. I should have not said that to Stephen." Jian said in a gentle voice.
Natalie pursed her lips.
"Why did you told him such a lie, anyway ?" Natalie asked.
Jian was silent for a moment but he did not release Natalie from his embrace.
I told him that you're an homosexual because I am jealous to him and I want him to stay away from you!
Jian thought , but he did not dare to blurted it out.
Instead he tried to find another reason.
"Uhm... B-because.. he is a womanizer and he might just break your heart. I was worried that he might take advantage to you." He said.
"Jian! I have my own mind! I know which people to trust and not to trust. Don't bother your self on worrying for other people!" Natalie replied.
"You're not just 'other people' to me, alright?!"
Natalie removed Jian's arms around her waist and she turned to face him.
"Why are you doing this? Why do you care so much for me?" Natalie asked.
"Are you worried that Carrie might disown you as her older brother if something bad happen to me?! "
"I am not doing this for anyone! I am doing this because I want to!" Jian said.
"Why?!" Natalie asked again.
"Because... because my family owed you so much for helping my sister, I am just returning the favor. I would protect you from the people that may cause harm to you!"
"Oh! I don't need anyone's protection!" Natalie replied with her raised brows.
"Of course you do! And you can't forbid me from doing it! I will protect you as long as I can! End of discussion!" Jian said with authority.
He took a deep breath before he speak.
"Now, are you going to eat with me or not?" He asked.
"No!" Natalie replied like an spoiled child throwing tantrum.
"Alright! I guess I have no choice but to do this!" And then he suddenly carry Natalie like a baby!
"Aahhh!" Natalie was startled!
She struggled while shouting, "Put me down! Put me down!"
"Shut up or I'll kiss you!" Jian warned Natalie!
Natalie glared at Jian, "I dare you!"
"Are you challenging me?" Jian asked with a mysterious smile in his face.
"Do you think I am afraid?" Natalie asked back.
