CHAPTER 8

Estherra was sitting on the bench in the scene ground when someone held her shoulder from back, "Lady"Hannah was behind her. "been looking for you"Hannah said, "well, I've been here"Esther replied. "There is a program being announced in a while with the CEO and you have to be there too"Hannah notified. "Yes ma'am, I will make sure"Esther replied, Hannah forced a smile as she turn back "Ma'am my foot!"She exclaimed silently. "ahaaaa excuse me! have you seen Sir Luc?"Esther interrupted. "yes I have, early this morning, before the board meeting "Hannah replied as she returned and faced her again "And I really was fighting to keep this but Don't call me ma'am ever again, I am Hannah"Hannah seemed serious which made Esther laugh. "Well, I will see, " Esther was a little stubborn too. "and if you don't mind, we can be friends"Hannah demanded. "yeah sure! it will be my honor"Esther replied, Hannah smiled and moved away. "first friend in EM ENTERTAINMENT. really! I am almost there"Esther smiled.

"I went in Hill valley School of Art graduation ceremony. that girl played Juliette and she was really talented. as you know we always give chance to one student with talent to join EM ENTERTAINMENT. that's how I saw her"Luc told Derrick, He had a cup of coffee in his hand. "hmmmmm! is this the end?"Derrick asked. "Nop, later that night, the headmaster Dr Hector called her for me like he always does. we talked and she has such a funny best friend (Luc remembering how Andy interrupted their conversation, He smiled)So i gave her my business card and she called later on. I asked her to meet me somewhere for a coffee"Luc continued. Derrick was studying each move of Luc carefully and silently. "I Through I was going to be professional but when we got there, my greedy exceed my laws and I found myself asking her some private questions"Luc finished and looked at Derrick, the CEO didn't add anything either. "I am scared of your silence"Luc told him. "you should be"Derrick added. "you remember that you promised your mom to marry Wendy, you've been through a lot with her"Derrick commented finally. "well, don't worry about that, infact that's not the case here. the case is I want to trust Esther so bad"Luc truthfully answered. "But I am afraid I am not ready to hear your advice Dr Derrick"Luc laughed which turned Derrick's serious mode into laugh too. "I will be gone for now"Luc said putting his cup of coffee on the mini_table, "Okay, we should hangout today or tomorrow, it's been a while now"Derrick replied. "Sure!"Luc said as he went out and leave Derrick on his work.

Ms. Wendy was walking through the corridor when she met Producer Danny who was going in the opposite direction. "Mrs Gustavo, I haven't seen you in a while. "He bragged. "Wendy please!"Wendy corrected. "and what is the field director doing here?"Danny asked. "Shouldn't she come over for her husband to be since it's break time?"Wendy replied. "Okay, good lucky"Danny smiled as she gave her a way to pass, "hmm maybe"Danny Coughed, Wendy looked In his eyes. "He might have gone to the new actress of The Low_Key."Danny spoiled it. "What are you talking about?"Wendy's confusion and anger could be seen in her eyes. "Hmm, what was her name again? Ms Divan or something!"Danny couldn't keep it to himself "Well, I don't have much information but the main actress of the Low_key was decided to be the newcomer Ms Estherra Divan"He added. "Ooh I through you knew, I will be gone"Danny said after studying her face as he continues his way, "With how I've putted all my effort to make one of my actress the lead in Low_Key"She seemed so very angry, "And now the newcomer?"She asked herself as she move toward the Office of Luc Gustavo.

"Miss, you can't go in without any appointment"Hannah tried to stop her but she wasn't going to listen.

Ms Wendy hit the door so Angrily but gladly, Luc wasn't in, she came back to Hannah. "Where is he?"She shouted, "I.... I don't know Miss. I am sorry"Hannah replied. "You should be ashamed, aren't you supposed to know his every move?"Wendy mocked her. "Well, if it has anything to deal with our business but not his private life... Ma'am"Hannah smiled hardly. Wendy couldn't add anything as she took the downstairs.

CEO Derrick joined a general meeting of all artists with directors and producers. "As of today, we are working on the project of the movie, produced by Luc Gustavo, we all heard about it. it is called LOW_KEY. the leading character is female and I guess, many of you have tried but couldn't meet the requirements to be that lead. so we have only one character that I am announcing today whom we rest our last chance or the shareholders will sell to another company."Sir Derrick spoke. everyone was paying their attention on him, and everyone was curious to know who was going to be announced here.

In that time, Ms Wendy stepped inside calmly and Went and stand by Luc. "We need to talk"She whispered in his ear, Luc seemed to be in good mood, he replied without turning to her, he knew she was so closer to hear him, "Anything can wait"He said. "I mean Now"Wendy cracked her teeth with anger, "what with that anger?"Luc asked, this time looking in her eyes. "I can't understand what you see in Estherra"Wendy finally asked calmly. "Oh! so that was the problem here? it can wait, we will talk later"Luc smiled to calm the situation here. "So without delaying, I will announce the newbie Ms Estherra Divan"Derrick announced, trying to check in the crowd. "Me!"Esther was amazed, she was sitting with Hannah. "Yeah, you heard right, you"Hannah smiled. "should I go up there?" Estherra asked. "No need, this is to let everyone know that you are going to be the priority here, starting tomorrow; you will be here everyday and Producer Luc will take care of you in every move since he's the Mastermind of this movie"Hannah replied in whispering tune. "really!?"Esther couldn't believe what just announced. "I will close here, you all should continue with what you were doing"Derrick concluded as he take his documents and leave the room.

Later that evening, Luc was in the parking lot waiting for his girl, "Shouldn't you be a little early?"Luc asked when finally Wendy stepped out. "We still got an unfinished talk to do"Wendy reminded him. "Here we go again!"Luc seemed too tired to start another fight. "Luc, you know how important that movie was to me"But Wendy was ready to fight. "But I gave you that chance, where is the actress you prepared?"Luc asked seriously. "Well... I could even play it"Wendy desperately needed that movie. Luc laughed so hard, "You know what? let me drop you off"Luc said as he open the car door and Wendy stepped in.

That very moment, Andy who was in the same parking lot, saw Luc and came running to him, "Luc Gustavo, Hey"She called him and Luc turned and saw her running to him. "The funniest girl I know. hey"Luc replied with a smile. "Miss Andrea Lorand or Andy"She said giving him a hand for shake. "Nice to know you again, I am sorry it took me days to know your name"Luc excused smiling. Wendy who was in a car, saw the two talking and was wondering who is that girl because she has never seen Luc letting out his free laugh before. "Are you here for Esther?"Luc asked. "Yes, we got some shopping to do so I told my driver to take my car but this Esther stood me here for hours"Andy replied. "she might still have unfinished task"Luc explained.

Suddenly Wendy came out of the car, "Babe, why taking so long!"She said. "Oh! Andy, this Is Wendy. Wendy ->Andy"Luc presented. "nice to meet you beautiful"Andy smiled at her but didn't give a hand. and finally Estherra come out, Running to Andy with all their madness as if the couple ain't there. "I am sorry babe, I am late. look I got a role"She would dance now and then. "Esther"Andy signed her that some people are watching as she turned. "Ooh I am sorry. hello Sir, ma'am "Esther greeted them. "Hey Esther, how have you been?"Luc's smile widened as he greeted her back. "Been so fine, thank you"Esther replied. "if you may excuse us, we are leaving"Esther added as she pulled Andy away. "Esther"Luc called, and the girl turned to face them again."Drive safely"Luc said so serious and concern. Wendy saw his look but it wasn't going to be another topic.

As the two girls went in a car, Andy started "She's not that bad and Luc is a good guy. Nice match" she said. Esther narrowed her eyes. "Take the car keys, starting tomorrow you will wash the both cars"Esther said, Andy remembered the promise and yawned "ooh my GOD!! I am doomed"She exclaimed which made Esther laugh loudly....
