"helli! We got it, pack it up. Filming starts today." Nicky pulls out the blanket, waking up Helli, who has been locked away for a full 72 hours since attending the wedding.
"I'm still sleepy, Nicky. Five minutes to go."
"No! Didn't you hear if I said filming today."
Nicky forced Helli's hand to rise from her sleep. "You should take a shower. Now!"
In the next three hours, they had already arrived at the port. He saw a group of photographers squeezing the security fence to make his heart break.
"Breath, Helli." Nicky who seemed to know his heartbreak gave support. Helli took a breath repeatedly as Nicky had instructed. Feeling calmer, he got out of the car immediately.
His forehead frowned as soon as he saw the dark and sour face of the director who was stepping quickly towards him. He knows the man. Robert Patinson, director of Calvin Hugo. Look at the man's expression. Helli assumed that something was wrong.
Helli forced his smile to remain calm, "Good day, Mr. Patinson. Forgive this media circus, hopefully they'll lose interest after this."
"How will they lose interest if you're the source of those never-ending warm stories" she said coldly. "Once Adrian mentions you're the female lead, that's where I feel disaster is coming."
"It doesn't feel fair if you judge me based on years ago. You haven't seen my performance yet" Helli was shaken, but he kept trying to fortify himself to stay professional.
"Which performance do you want to show? That performance that you're so good at stealing other people's men?"
"As-as what?" Helli looks confused.
"I shouldn't be surprised by your ability to take men considering your mother's man can you snatch."
Helli bit his lip, it was always all he could do when someone brought up his nightmare.
"If you're too drunk to remember what happened, you better read this." Robert threw the newspaper rudely.
"I don't drink..." Helli paused his words. Gavin's shadow suddenly flashed by. "Okay, I did drink, just a little, didn't get me drunk at all." With trembling hands, Helli opened the newspaper. Exclusive: Helli Lepisto tries to seduce Glend Vasquez, after trying to steal my man! And there, under the title, was a picture of her glaring with a look of adoration at Glend Vasquez and next to her a picture of herself kissing Gavin.
His fingers gripped the newspaper tightly. Suddenly the voices around him disappeared. Giddiness. How could there be this photo? That is, a picture of him with Gavin. He forgot that with a camera phone, everyone can be a photographer.
"W-how did this happen?"
"Could happen of course. The woman came to Gavin to sell the photo for a price. The man just laughed and let the woman do what she wanted."
Of course he can afford it, but he should have called me!
"I understand your concern, Robert. It's too bad, but please believe me..."
"Do you think a bunch of journalists will just believe it. Adrian Kraby has already walked over. I'm telling you that she's not amused by this news. Tell me how you're gonna handle it. This news is everywhere. How can I focus on making a movie while the people on the movie set are all staring at you with their respective fantasies while giggling. Just being here with you makes me feel dirty."
The whole world will know that you are so dirty and despicable, Helli Lepisto.
"It's not like that's what happened..."
Anger broke out, exploding from him. "It's not you who has the right to fire me!"
"Then let's wait for Adrian. Whether he chooses to keep you or me."
Helli knows he's going to lose here. Robert is a great director. Adrian wasn't that stupid to let go of the man. It's all Gavin's fault! Why did the man have to kiss her. Helli closed his eyes, he had to think of something to overcome this.
As Helli opened his eyes, he saw Adrian coming with a face as dark as the sky before the storm. Helli glanced at Robert, the man displaying a contemptuous smile.
"Mrs. Krabs, Hm, Mr. Kraby that's not what happened." Helli clucked at the sound of his extremely desperate voice.
"First of all, why are you with Gavin?"
"We arranged the meeting secretly." Helli had to save himself first.
"Are you saying that you and Gavin are dating?"
"Yes, that's how it happened." Helli's spontaneous answer was to save her. He'll clean up this mess later.
"Gavin's not a man capable of relationships."
"Yes, you're right. It happened before he met me. Now we love each other. I begged him to keep our relationship a secret, and he was an understanding lover. There's nothing naughty with a kiss, we just share something special as lovers who love each other." Helli made every effort to maintain his career so as not to plunge back.
"Love? Heh? Today with Gavin O'Neil, who else is tomorrow?" robert's sarcasm.
"There's no one else for tomorrow. Me and Gavin love each other and we're getting married!" The director was too demeaning to him that the sentence just popped out. People have always used it all this time. Why can't he use someone else this time. Everything happened because of Gavin, so he was the lucky candidate that Helli could use this time. By making up a love story with Gavin, the less able man will automatically remove one of the list of bad reputation that only want to dredge the wealth of old men.
"If my friend wanted to get married, I would've heard of it." Adrian felt something strange. He has known Gavin for a long time and he knows that he is very anti-committal.
"It's a secret." Helli pressed his words. "Nobody knows but the two of us." Helli put the brakes on his mouth before creating a tangle of lies.
"If you want me to still be on this project, I want another artist." The director's words created a frown on Adrian's eyebrows. Helli resigned, as Robert said, he was finished before it began.
"Helli stays on this project."
The director's eyes narrowed, "If he's here, I'm gone."
"Go away." said Adrian not at all sympathetic. He nodded to Helli, "We'll talk to the press."
"You-you just fired the director," Helli was stunned. Not expecting to get support from Adrian Kraby. "Yesterday you told me not to do an interview."
"That's because I thought you were gonna start with a scandal. Helli Lepisto and Gavin O'Neil Vasquez, engaged, not scandal, but news."
Whats? What did he say just now? Gavin O'Neil Vasquez?
Helli's in big trouble. Once Adrian finds out that he is lying and making up stories, the man will fire him and the second if it is true that Gavin the tramp is Vasquez, Helli is convinced once this news reaches Gavin's ears, finish history. The man would happily kill him.
