I talked with Mira for a while, digging for gossip and storing everything in my mind. This way, I probably could tell my husband all the tea later.
"He wanted coffee from his favorite coffee shop, but since it was closed yesterday, the staff had to look for another branch farther away." Mira took a long breath, trying to calm her anger. "And he refused to continue the script reading until he got his coffee."
There were so many bad things Samuel did yesterday, but at least he didn’t try to harass his female co-workers.
While I was still chatting with Mira, I saw Marissa from a distance giving a signal to co to her.
"I’m sorry, Mira, but it seems like my manager wants to talk to about sothing," I politely cut her off. "Let’s talk again later."
Mira chuckled. "Yeah, yeah, I actually need to read my script again right now. Talking about Samuel really can take up a lot of ti."
I patted her arm a few tis before walking toward Marissa, and I noticed two young won standing behind her.
"Helcia, these two are your new assistants," Marissa said, introducing them. She pointed to the woman with brunette hair. "This is Gigi." Then she pointed to the woman with pretty coiled hair. "And this one is Zuri."
Both of them smiled and reached out their hands to . If I didn’t know they were martial arts experts, I would have thought they were just normal won.
"Nice to et you, I’m Helcia," I said with a smile.
"It’s nice to et you too, Miss Helcia," Zuri said first. Her voice was soft like honey. "I hope we can work well together."
"Please, just call Helcia," I replied.
I chatted with them for a mont before deciding to walk around the filming set first before the director called us to practice a few of the first scenes here.
"So... this series will be my first project," I said to Marissa as we stepped into the makeshift CEO office. "Do you think I made the right choice? I an... people might rember as a spicy actress."
"Spicy, my ass." Marissa snorted. "You don’t even have a single sex scene in this series, and you barely kiss the male lead. Don’t worry, people will probably rember you as a sexy secretary instead."
I laughed at her response because honestly, I wasn’t sure if it was a good thing either.
"Besides, since you’re only filming one series, you also picked up a few advertisent projects," she said, trying to reassure . "Don’t worry, Helcia. There will be so many opportunities for you in the future."
Her words really touched because Marissa truly cared about as her actress. She even told there were several ad projects that suited , but she needed to narrow them down and choose the two that fit the best.
While I was trying out so sexy poses—like sitting on top of the CEO’s desk—I suddenly thought about my husband, and my face turned bright red.
I lifted my high-heeled foot onto the empty executive chair, and for so stupid reason, I imagined what would happen if I touched my husband’s crotch with the tip of my heel.
Damn, damn, I’d be damned! Why was I suddenly thinking so many dirty things about my own husband now?!
[That’s because love and lust always co together, Host,] Penny chid in out of nowhere.
[Sure, many people can love each other without having sex, but sex itself isn’t a bad thing.]
[If anything, sex is one of the ways couples communicate.]
I let out a long sigh and stepped down from the table. My mind kept wandering into embarrassing, dirty thoughts, and I just couldn’t focus anymore.
’Are you trying to convince to have sex with him?’ I asked inwardly, glancing over my shoulder. I noticed Marissa had already left the makeshift CEO office, probably heading to the restroom.
[I’m not convincing you, Host. I’m only stating facts.] Penny sounded unusually serious for once.
[If you want to grow closer to your husband, physical intimacy can help strengthen your bond.]
I pressed my fingers against my warm cheeks. "Can we not talk about this while I’m trying to work?" I whispered under my breath.
[You were the one imagining his crotch, Host.]
"I—! That was an accident!" I hissed softly as I grabbed the edge of the desk for support.
Before Penny could say anything else, the director walked into the room.
"Helcia, are you ready to rehearse your first scene?" he asked, looking at with bright eyes when he saw that I had transford into a sexy secretary. Fortunately, he didn’t hear talking alone with Penny earlier.
"Yes, Director!" I straightened up quickly, trying to look professional even though my mind was still filled with sinful images of my husband on this very desk.
Today, Samuel was also late by about thirty minutes. Sure, it wasn’t a full hour, but still... it was more than enough to make Mira look even more annoyed, especially because he had to rehearse his scene with first before moving on to her.
Luckily, my first scene with him wasn’t very long, so Mira wouldn’t have to wait too much.
"Let’s start with the opening position," the director said as he moved beside the cara. "Lean back a little, cross your legs slowly, and give the cara a confident look. Not too seductive, just enough to show that your character knows her power."
I followed his instructions, even unbuttoning the top two buttons of my blouse so my cleavage was more visible. No, my chest wasn’t that big, but thankfully this world created sothing holy called a push-up bra.
And I could clearly see from Samuel’s eyes that he liked my look a little too much, and his Adam’s apple moved up and down as he swallowed.
After what Kai did to a few days ago, I had already made up my mind: I would smack Samuel’s head the mont he tried anything beyond the script.
