Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Behind the scenes-

“And cut” the director yelled after a while once the girl, who was supposed to the main lead Sebastian mentioned the other day. Basically this scene was the one where she walked into the office and everyone stared at her appalled by her beauty.

The men were to express fancy over her appearance, and the women were supposed to cringe at her due to jealousy. Honestly all Christian could do behind the scenes is feel nauseated at the cliché nature of this whole scene. Not to mention the overly dressed attire of the female lead was far from what an office environment might require.

Her high pointed heels and her wavy untied hair was just so impractical. From the looks of it she was newly hired as the assistant of the CEO. It made Christian wonder, how come Sebastian is a cameo. Won’t she be surrounding him all the time as his assistant?

Was she supposed to get fired? I mean... from the looks of it she had a tendency to delay with her assignments. Or was Sebastian selling the company or something? At that moment when Sebastian walked in Christian noticed that Sebastian was dressed in a tux way costlier than the one he wore at Christian’s ‘wedding’.

Not just that, he looked way more handsome than he ever did before. Now it was Christian who had a hard time taking his eyes off of him. Sebastian’s eyes widened when he noticed Christian and tried to approach him before the director caught his attention.

The director explained the scene to Sebastian before they got into their position. This time instead of focusing head on, Christian decided to go and stand behind the director to see this shot.

“...And action”! Shouted the Director. In the monitor, Christian saw Sebastian walk in through the main door with a stern cold expression, something that Christian had never seen before. Somehow it even made him hotter.

.....

Apparently that’s how it was supposed to be, as the assistant, the female lead fake blushed ( or maybe really blushed, cause you know... that’s how hot he looked) and fumbled with her words, “I’m...I’m the new Assistant. Luna Devoe”. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

“Miss Devoe, I hope you work faster than you can talk cause I don’t have the whole day to waste.” He remarked rudely, giving off the impression of an arrogant but demanding CEO.

Somehow his tone made her shiver a little, and to be fair... it kinda intrigued Christian as well. It felt so odd, yet so real. “Yes sir. Whatever you need”. She spoke in a breath.

Sebastian, or whatever his character’s name was, ignored ‘Luna’ and sat on his chair. “Get me some coffee, and the files on project Nexus” Sebastian ordered.

“With sugar or without sugar”? ‘Luna’ asked.

“You don’t know”? Sebastian glared as if she was supposed to be a mind reader and anticipate his preferences. “Is this a restaurant”? He raised his voice. “Knowing about me is the first and foremost requirement for this position. How the hell did they hire you”! He shouted. Even Christian started to feel bad for this ‘Luna’. Somehow the grumpy Sebastian seemed much better than whatever character this was.

“I’ll find out” fidgeting nervously, she exited the door.

Sebastian looked back into the computer with a cold blank stare. Christian waited eagerly to see what would happen next but unfortunately the director yelled “Cut”!

And Sebastian’s features softened in a second. It was as if he morphed into a different person altogether. If Christian didn’t know better, he would say that Sebastian had split personality or something. Seeing him work like that, feeling himself getting immersed into the ongoing scene, made Christian wanna explore more of his works.

Once more Sebastian’s attempt to talk to Christian was interrupted by the director who explained to him about the next scene. Christian, chuckled and linked him, [You have something to say]

[Oh] was the first response Christian received from Sebastian. [I almost forgot we can do this. Damn!]

[Yeah, you must not be used to linking out here] Christian chuckled internally.

[Yeah. Anyways, I was looking for you. You are okay right? Are you hungry or anything?] Sebastian asked.

[Don’t worry about me, I’ll get something if I want. I guess you should focus on what the director is saying cause I would really like to see what happens next.]

Sebastian nodded before focusing on the Director. After around five minutes, when the people were done with make-up and setting the props, they took their position. Sebastian’s face morphed into cold arrogant nature once more. If Christian was being honest, this sudden shift in demeanor was kind of a turn on.

The female lead, ‘Luna’ walked in with a hot cup of coffee and laid it in front of him following which she laid the file on ‘Nexus Project”. Without sparing a glance at Luna, he drank a sip of coffee before spitting all of it on Luna’s outfit, who closed her eyes with disgust. “I told you to find out my preferences, clearly you have hearing problems cause this ain’t the temperature of my coffee. I can’t believe what a slob they hired for me”.

‘Luna’ bit her lip, biting down on her anger and apologized, “I’m really sorry sir, it won’t happen again” she trembled.

“It better not. You better get your act together or you’ll be fired. God, you ruined my day” Sebastian scoffed bitterly.

She kept her head down before turning around and walking away. A closer shot to her face revealed her silently cursing her boss. Seems like Christian might be right after all about getting fired, however he totally got the reason wrong. Honestly if Christian ever encountered such a bitter person he would punch him in the face.

Although it wasn’t Sebastian’s fault that his character was a d**k, Christian felt oddly agitated by his behavior. Somehow he could empathize with the female lead and found himself wishing that he could go in and comfort ‘Luna’.

The actress was fine given how she was laughing with Sebastian right now, who actually apologized if he spat too harshly. Meanwhile Christian’s glare shifted to the Director who wondered what the hell was this director thinking, and where the hell was this storyline headed.
