"Jealousy Unveiled: Lunchtime Confessions"

When Ember returned to the dressing room, she closed the door and began talking to herself. "Why am I getting angry?" The pictures of Emir and Xiao flashed before her eyes. "I can't take it anymore. Why? Why am I getting mad when I see them together? But it's just a photoshoot... but I can't stand it. Am I getting jealous of her? No, no, no, it can't be. Why would I be? I am the one Emir likes... isn't that true? Yes, yes, yes..." She paced around the room, her inner turmoil showing no signs of ending.

  A thought popped into her mind, "Why does he like me? Xiao is more beautiful, more mature than me. I am the opposite of that; I am clumsy. What rubbish am I thinking? Yeah, let me stop here. If it goes like this, I might become crazy. Emir, you are making me crazy," she said, scratching the back of her head.

  "Hahahaha!" The sound of Emir's hearty laughter caught Ember's attention. She turned and saw Emir standing at the door, trying to control his laughter. Ember thought, "Oh no, did he hear all that nonsense I was saying?"

  "Why are you laughing?" Ember asked nervously.

  Emir was thinking, "My baby is too cute when she's jealous. This is just a photoshoot, and she feels so insecure. If she saw me with supermodels and actresses in shows and movies, what would her reaction be?"

  "What are you thinking?" Ember noticed that Emir wasn't replying.

  "Seeing you jealous makes me happy," he said with an ear-to-ear smile.

  "Emir," Ember said in embarrassment, avoiding eye contact.

  "Hmm," he responded, noticing that Ember still wasn't looking at him.

  "Nothing," she said while looking around. "Is your shoot completed?" she added.

  "Not yet. It's break time," Emir replied.

  "Oh," Ember said. "Let's eat something. It's late, and you haven't eaten anything since breakfast," Emir suggested, showing concern.

  "Okay," Ember agreed.

  Emir called his butler, Mr. Feng, to bring lunch. Ember asked him, "Did you eat lunch, Mr. Feng?"

  "No, not yet, ma'am," he replied.

  Emir ordered him to go and eat something, and he left the room, saying, "You both enjoy. I will take my leave."
