OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 28 FIRST DATE?
Weini's luxury car crossed the Tanjung Duren road in silence, without music, without conversation. About fifteen minutes he felt a dilemma. This is his first time
go with a guy of – tandem – out of nowhere. He was still hesitant to open the conversation, seeing the record track that there was chat with the man always ended up annoying. But if he doesn't talk, when does this frozen atmosphere melt?
“Where are we going?” weini's heart spit out instantly as Xiao Jun opened his voice. But it felt strange, why he was even asked their purpose when Weini thought the man would take him somewhere.
“Kok even nanya me? Kirain where are you taking me?” Weini was suddenly frustrated, from earlier they just rotated without a clear goal.
“I don't know the road yet, I thought you could show me the direction.” Said Xiao Jun acting innocent.
“Ya, but by the way dong went where from earlier. Jakarta street muterin is the same as looking for disease. How stuck?” Weini was starting to get cocky, it was true that her guess that talking to Xiao Jun was only going to end
peeve.
“OK, where are you going now?” Xiao Jun was focused on driving when in his heart he laughed happily successfully at the fierce girl. He actually had a purpose, but it was too prestige to show from the start.
“I'm hungry.” Weini was upset.
“You want to buy me?” timpal Xiao Jun without turning his eyes forward.
*Ggggrrrrrr….*Please give this man one word! Inner Weini held the dongkol. The man's hobby tests his patience.
“I have thus considered the redemption of my freedom. Later you don't trouble me anymore.” Sergey Weini nyinyir. He felt the wind of victory on his side.
“Hmm... depends on how good the food is.” Xiao Jun replied without thinking for long. Asking him to let go of Weini is that easy? He was worried he couldn't do it.
A cafe near Binus became Weini's choice. The car entered a parking lot that was quite densely packed with two-wheeled vehicles. This cafe is very popular among students around the campus and during the day
most time for visitors. After parking hard to find an area, Weini changed her mind.
“Remember yes you should keep attitude in public. Attracting just a little attention you must be the target of the media. Not to mention the netizens who are good at being amateur paparazzi. You better avoid public places full of crowds.” Weini recalled Bams' message to her as she insisted on refusing to be given the manager and convinced that she could take care of herself.
Xiao Jun removed his seatbelt and prepared to get down, but seeing Weini flinch, he followed silently. “What's up?” Xiao Jun asked curiously.
Weini looked at the handsome man in detail. Even Xiao Jun's appearance was conspicuous with a formal suit. Imagine how excited the public would be if they got out of this car right now. Maybe tomorrow he will appear in the infotainment with a narrative that leads to false opinions.
“Mmm... Can we change elsewhere?” Weini bit her lips so anxiously with Xiao Jun's unfathomable reaction.
Xiao Jun did not reply but directly started the car. He held the steering wheel and opened a little window to pay for the parking, of course with a tip. Weini felt she had lost face to ask where she would be taken after this. He could not even be counted on to find a place to eat.
Kruuuuk. Bump Weini on him who immediately turned pale because the sound of his stomach concert sounded loud. (reader, someone wants to lend a pillow to cover Weini's face from embarrassment?)
Xiao Jun tried to react normally in order to maintain a girl's pride. It was better that he pretended not to hear the voice that had just flashed across his hearing even though it was quite tickling.

In a studio production house…
The audition queue was seen crowded the re-registration room. Many young girls test their talent and luck for the role of a new drama. One of the participants with big ambitions was Metta. For the sake of casting, he was willing to skip school for the totality of make up. The appearance now looks quite flawless but the style of the clothes is very minimalist.
“Participant no 21.” Crew standing in front of the studio.
Metta got up from the chair. This is his chance to show potential, he is very confident his steps are getting closer to pursuing Weini's position. A piece of script that was proffered before the casting had been memorized, it was time for action.
Metta faced off with a director and an assistant producer who became an appraiser, the heat of spotlight lighting and cameras from various angles began to shrink his confidence. He started to feel awkward, though,
his stomach feels heartburn.
Scene cry. Title lamentation stepchildren.
“Mother cruel! I just love my dad! I'm this..” dialog is interrupted. Metta forgot the dialogue. Tears have not even been shed. A minute later he still did not remember the continued sentence was so nervous.
“OK further scene next.” Director's orders with a loud tone.
Metta's hands started to sweat coldly. This time he must be more totality because the role of the antagonist is easier for him to understand.
“Hey, village girl! How dare you deketin Leo? Guts you big too yes want my ama rival. Ngacaa! You're nothing compared to me. Beautiful no, rich no, smart let alone.”
Yup! It's as easy as playing the role of a jutek. Metta has no trouble making it so often he does everyday, especially against Weini and Sisi.
“OK enough. Next news we will call. Thank you.” said a crew ended Metta's performance time.
The haughty girl acted as if she had become a winner then waltzed out in catwalk style. Wait for my revenge Weini. I must have escaped casting! Your prime is only a moment, I'll stomp
you get off the throne. Don't dream of being princess! “Hihihihi..” Metta giggled to himself unknowingly being showered with strange gazes from all around.

The result of a trip that took almost two hours just for lunch, in fact ended up in a ramen shop in Central Park. The two young men sat facing each other and had not yet ordered
the food. Weini hid her face with the menu book, unable to look at the man at close range after two embarrassing incidents. First he canceled a meal at his chosen place, second he joked with his barking voice.
“Can you read that close?” Xiao Jun commented on Weini's strange position. How does he pick a menu if his face sticks to the book.
“Eh Weini said quickly. Try from the beginning Xiao Jun brought him here, he did not need to waste time and energy to starve like this. Ramen in this store is indeed suitable for Weini's taste, sometimes he invited Haris to eat here. It was unexpected that now he was eating with Xiao Jun.
“Oke.” Xiao Jun ordered a few menus in addition to the one called Weini. He felt sorry for the waitress who waited for their order for so long because the girl preferred to read the writing with a jidat
than eyes.
“Ng... Do you like eating ramen?” Although clumsy, Weini tried to get Xiao Jun to talk casually.
“Iya.”
What kind of answer is that? He let me run out of talk. Weini only dared to protest inwardly.
“Can ask?” Xiao Jun tried to bet, would Weini be willing to open up a little about him.
“What?” weini said as she blew the steaming hot tea.
“If you can know, what's your marg?” Xiao Jun folded both hands and leaned on the table. Waiting for an answer from before him.
Quiescent. Weini wasn't ready for such a question. He looked at Xiao Jun, trying to figure out the man's heart. No one has ever asked such a sensitive question. But now the man from Hong Kong he just met has not long questioned it.
“Nona?” Xiao Jun was waiting for an answer.
Weini was worried, what answer should he say? Appreciate his ancestors by recognizing the Li surname or appreciating the bodyguards who were already like his father and claiming to be surnamed Wei?
“I..”
