Getting The Role

"I am ready." Feng Mei Hiu stood up, dropping the script gently on the couch. "Who will act Muchen's part?"

"I will.."

"I will act Muchen's part." Ruo Xuan cut Yue Jingyi off. All eyes turned to the actor and Feng Mei Hiu watched him curiously wondering what the artist was up to.

Ruo Xuan was a good-looking actor, a beta in his early twenties, his face was gender neutral making it hard to decipher if he was a man or woman, but his voice was masculine. His hair was dyed a deep blue which contrasted with his pale skin, he was dressed in a low white V neck shirt and a baggy black trouser.

"Ummm.... alright." Yue Jingyi nodded as he turned to President Gu. "President Gu I will handle it from here."

"Don't worry about me, just carry on as if I am not here." President Gu smiled, dark eyes observing Feng Mei Hiu. "I would love to see his acting skills." He sat down elegantly on one of the office chairs, one leg crossed over the other.

"You don't have to memorize Muchen's line, just read from the script." Nancy handed the script to Ruo Xuan.

"Shall we begin?" Ruo Xuan turned to Feng Mei Hiu who replied with a polite nod.

Once both of them were seated on their position, Yue Jingyi took a notebook and one of the other men turned on a camera.

"Three, two, one, action."

"Nobody would believe that Eve's Street number one prostitute stayed in a room for two hours with a man and did nothing but read a book." Feng Mei Hiu laughed gazing at Ruo Xuan with a puzzled look, "you paid 700 dollars just so I could read you a book, you're a strange man Muchen."

"Strange?" Ruo Xuan hummed lifting his head from Feng Mei Hiu's shoulder to gaze into his eyes, "I just like your company."

"Like my company." Feng Mei Hiu smirked seductively, his fingers trialing up his hand to his shoulder. "There are many ways I can accompany you." With a light push Ruo Xuan fell back on the couch.

Feng Mei Hiu straddled him, their faces inches apart, Ruo Xuan could feel his long hair tickling his face, their lips so close they were almost kissing.

Feng Mei Hiu smiled seductively, eyes filled with desire. "There are many things we could do together, than just read a book." His hand trailed lower stopping on Ruo Xuan's belt. "Let me show you."

Ruo Xuan's adam apple bobbed, suddenly he felt parched and it took a second too late for him to remember they were still acting.

"Rose stop." Even though his voice sounded hoarse nobody thought it strange as it fitted the script.

"Why?" Feng Mei Hiu smiled wickedly, hand toying with his belt, "you desire me, I can feel it."

"Is this what you want?" Feng Mei Hiu paused.

"Does it matter what I want, you paid me and I am offering my services." His voice hardened.

"Your wants matter to me." Ruo Xuan sighed.

"Why?" Feng Mei Hiu's voice was a low whisper, the desire in his eyes had melted away, his eyes now filled with confusion and sadness.

"Because I.."

"Stop it Muchen." Feng Mei Hiu's glared as he rose from his body. "Don't say things you don't mean."

"I mean it Rose." Ruo Xuan gripped his hand. "What should I do for you to understand my feelings?"

"Feelings?" Feng Mei Hiu barked a cold laugh, "I don't have feelings for you." His words were cold.

"Rose please, stop fighting against this, stop denying us." Ruo Xuan's voice was sad and broken.

"Us?" Feng Mei Hiu snatched his hand from his grip. "You're the son of an aristocrat and I am a prostitute," the emotions in his eyes were complicated; pain, sadness, coldness and anger, "wake up Yang Muchen, there is no us."

For a minute no one moved, each still immersed in the mind numbing performance until the sound of a loud clap broke the silence.

"Wow!" President Gu rose from his seat still clapping. "That was amazing." His gaze was filled with interest as he stared at Feng Mei Hiu who smiled at him.

"Oh my God! You're amazing." Nancy threw herself at Feng Mei Hiu, the force of her hug sending them both to the floor.

"Nancy." One of the men sighed in exsaperation as he pulled Nancy off Feng Mei Hiu. "I am sorry, she can be a little extra." He offered Feng Mei Hiu a hand who gladly accepted.

"So I take it that I got the role?" Feng Mei Hiu smiled.

"Do you even need to ask? It's yours." Nancy squealed.

"Great acting." Ruo Xuan smiled at him as he walked past him towards President Gu, he whispered something to him and left the room.

Even though Ruo Xuan's acting was a bit awkward as he was reading from a script while acting it didn't affect the video and the main focus was Feng Mei Hiu anyways, Yue Jingyi smiled, Director Zhang would surely be impressed.

"We will send the video to Director Zhang and get back to you by tomorrow." Yue Jingyi smiled, "just leave your contact details with Nancy."

"Okay." Feng Mei Hiu collected Nancy's phone and typed in his number.

"I am your first fan, when you become a star don't forget about me." Nancy winked.

"Sure." Feng Mei Hiu laughed.

"I would like to speak to you in my office," President Gu smiled, "if you don't mind."

"I would love to." He didn't need to go hunting for his prey because the prey was already walking into the trap itself.

*******

President Gu's office was very different from what he remembered. The office was modern and luxurious, everything was designed in black and white. Soft white couches and black marbled floor, a white rug was placed in the middle of the floor with a black table standing above it. A fireplace was mounted on the left part of the wall, a huge television placed above it. A shelf filled with trophies occupied the right part of the wall. Famous paintings hung on the wall, a mini bar was mounted on the wall and a beautiful glass fish tank was placed on a table; the golden scaled fishes the only color in this black and white office.

"What would you like to drink?" President Gu flung his coat jacket on the table, popping open his first and second button as he walked towards the bar.

"Water would be nice." Feng Mei Hiu replied as he sat down, the couch was as soft as it looked.

"Just water?" President Gu frowned. "You don't have to be modest."

"Water is fine President Gu." Feng Mei Hiu reamined adamant.

"Please drop the formality," President Gu laughed, as he picked a bottle from the bar "President Gu makes me feel old, just call be Gu Jun Hie." He grabbed two glasses and opened the fridge to grab a bottle of water.

"Wouldn't that be disrespectful, everybody around here calls you President Gu." Feng Mei Hiu took the offered glass as Gu Jun Hie sat beside him.

"You are not everybody." Feng Mei Hiu ignored the blatant meaning of that statement opting for a thank you as Gu Jun Hie handed him the glass of water.

"So, which agency are you from?" Gu Jun Hie asked.

"I haven't signed with any agency yet." Feng Mei Hiu set his glass on the table. "I came here because I got the role for an audition after participating in the viral online acting contest being held by Glow Entertainment, I was hoping the agency would sign me." His blush and nervousness portrayed an image of shyness that pleased Gu Jun Hie.

"Oh! So you're one of the winners." He smiled. "I would be glad if you could sign with my agency."

"Really?" Feng Mei Hiu brightened up with false joy, "you want to sign me?"

"Of course, it would be Glow's loss if I let you go." Gu Jun Hie smiled. "With such looks you would be famous in no time."

"Thank you Gu Jun Hie." Feng Mei Hiu smiled with feigned shyness.

"I like the way my name sounds on your lips." Gu Jun Hie's eyes darkened, he stared at Feng Mei Hiu like a hungry predator.

"Jun Hie, you have to fire your sectary, can you believe the ner....." The sound of heels clattering on the floor sounded after the door was pushed open, she paused eyes narrowing at the scene before her.

"Babe." Gu Jun Hie smiled rushing towards the petite lady in a pink dress who was scowling at him.

"Who's that?" Her eyes reamined fixed on Feng Mei Hiu even though Gu Jun Hie was hugging her.

"He's a new artist that the company intends to sign." Gu Jun Hie explained, but the lady remained frowning.

"And since when is speaking to new artist's your job?" Even though Feng Mei Hiu and Gu Jun Hie had been sitting with a respectful distance between them, her sixth sense still tingled.

"I was just talking with him babe and he was about to leave." Gu Jun Hie didn't bat an eye at Feng Mei Hiu's direction.

Babe? Feng Mei Hiu thought as he stood up, this was a new development, since when was Gu Jun Hie tied down?

She removed herself from Gu Jun Hie's hug and stalked towards Feng Mei Hiu, the sound of her heels ominous.

Feng Mei Hiu observed her, she was a beautiful omega, with beautiful and soft features, but her eyes held a sharpness that contrasted with her looks.

"I am Natalie Lu, nice to meet you." She smiled wickedly, offering her hand for a shake, the glitter of the diamond ring on her engagement finger nearly blinding his eyes.

"Feng Mei Hiu, it was nice meeting you." Feng Mei Hiu could have rolled his eyes at her show off, he held no interest in scums like Gu Jun Hie, so Miss Natalie need not worry herself.

"I will take my leave." Nobody paid him any attention, Gu Jun Hie busy with Natalie.

Just when Feng Mei Hiu was about to leave the office, he turned to look behind him were Gu Jun Hie and Natalie were hugging, Gu Jun Hie noticed his stare and winked at him, Feng Mei Hiu smiled.

Scum.
