115. Truth or dare

Ring Ring

The sound of Li Zhilan's ringtone went off, early in the morning.

''Heloo..?'' Li Zhilan's groggy voice responded in her sleep.

''Miss Li-"

''Little Yang, you better have something very important to tell or you are so dead.'' The warning in Li Zhilan's voice was too heavy to be ignored.

''Miss Li, about being casted, why don't you-"

Director Yang very softly asked with a hint of pleading mixed in but to his utter dismay, before he could complete his sentence, the phone beeped indicating that the other person had hung up on him.

Director Yang wanted to cry so badly right now. He had been searching for a perfect person who could act as the lead in his movie for four entire years in almost every country but he just couldn't find the one who will give him the feeling, yes, that's her. But now that he found the one, he wasn't willing to give up, not even if he was to be shot in the head. How can a few days of persistence and rejection hurt him. No way. He was going to keep it going. Infact he will go all out from now on.

...

''What happened? Why are you pissed off right in the morning? Who dared to do that?'' Ashton said laughing and enjoying himself like a kid at Li Zhilan being pissed off.

The group were in Li Zhilan's apartment, where she had shifted to since she had graduated from college which was after completing all the courses she was interested in.

''Who else other then that stupid Director Yang.''

''Hiss... Did he call a bit too early?'' Austin questioned her after seating himself opposite Li Zhilan next to Ashton.

''Or? Damn that idiot. I'll make him regret it for sure.''

''Alright. Stop being angry. I brought back some snacks and bear. Let's play the whole day today.''

''Is it Director Yang again?''

''Heh... that idiots phone in the blacklist.'' Li Zhilan smirked while she picked up the phone.

''Hello?''

''Hello, am I speaking to Miss Li Zhilan?'' It was a male voice which wasn't very stable as if he was afraid.

''That should be me. Who am I talking to?''

''Mi-Miss Li, I... I...'' There was some whispering in the background as if someone was urging him to speak.

''Hello? Is everything all right over there? Do you need some help?'' The moment Li Zhilan asked these questions, the group of idiots quickly gathered around, their faces traced with worry.

''Miss Li it's me.'' Finally after a long silence Director Yang's voice was heard from the other end.

Almost immediately, the call was ended by Li Zhilan.

''Why did you hang up?'' Lucas was the first one to ask.

''It's that damned Director of yours.''

''Oh... comeon let's play.'' Lucas continued on as if it wasn't something related to him.

...

''I'm stuffed.'' Xavier was the first to stop eating and rubbed his belly.

''Me too.''

''Me three.''

''Me four.''

One by one all the boys stopped eating. The only one who continued was the only girl in the group.

Only after everything infront of her was emptied did she stop eating.

After resting for a while, Lucas said, ''Why don't we play a game?''

''What game?'' Xavier questioned back.

''Let's play the classic truth or dare.'' It was Austin who provided the idea and everyone agreed.

...

The first one to suffer was Lucas.

''Truth or dare?''

''Truth.''

''Tell us honestly, do you love someone?''

''As of now... Nope. But the future, we'll it's not in my hands.''

''Woah...'' Everyone cheered at the way Lucas completed the second part of his sentence.

''The next one is... Ash.''

''Truth or dare?''

''Truth.''

''What do you plan to do?''

''I'm planning to join the entertainment industry.''

*gasp*

''Really? When did you decide that?''

''Not too long ago. Infact I just agreed to take part in Director Yang's movie which Knicus wrote.''

''Wow... And you guys kept it a secret.''

''Well we did want to tell you guys. We were just waiting for the best moment.''

''Alright Alright. Let's continue.''

''Zhizhi.'' The way everyone called outher name made her feel that they were particularly waiting for this moment and it made her hair stand on its end.

''Truth or dare?''

''I'll go with dare.''

The smile that bloomed in everyone's eyes made her feel like she just jumped into their trap. But what's said can't be returned so she gritted her teeth and waited for her doom.

''Well since we all know that you are currently confused with what kind of a job you want to take, let us help you. So the dare is that with the next 2 minutes, any offer you receive, you have to accept it.''

''What?''

''No backing off.''

''Alright, it's just ywo minutes. What can happen? I am hundred percent positive I won't be recie-"

''Pick it up. You can't ignore it.''

''Damn it'' Li Zhilan cussed under her voice and answered the phone all the while hoping that it was a wrong number as it was indeed a new one.

''Miss Li" all of Li Zhilan's hope shattered as soon as she heard Idewctor Yang's voice on the other end. ''Please accept the role of the female lead.''

Li Zhilan gritted her teeth and answered with a single word, ''Okay.''

Director Yang felt so shocked that he even frose in his seat in his office. There were other people present as well who were also shocked but not because they heard the answer since they never heard it anyway. They were shocked to have confirmed the rumor going on that a girl was rejecting Director Yang's offer to play the lead in his movie of the career. Now that they saw the scene of their ever so mighty Director speaking in such a manner almost begging to the other party, they confirmed that the rumor wasn't just a rumor rather it was a fact.

Unbeknownst to the reactions his teamafes were feeling at the moment, Director Yang quickly said out a few sentences as if he was afraid that the other party would change her mind.

''Re-really? Then... then I will being the contract over right now.''

''No need. let's sign it tomorrow.''

''You can't go back on your words. You definitely can't.''

''Don't worry. I won't.''
