BxB Co entertainment.... building
Clack !clack!
Came the continuous sounds of heels taping on the exquisite floor of the building.
Tap! Tap!
Soon the heels stopped at a door and a slender fingered hand with a pale skin knocked on the door.
"come in! " came the arrogant welcome from the one inside.
The delicate hand turned the door knob before walking in.
The middle aged woman who wore thick glasses and had her dyed blonde hair into a French plaint and wore excessively red lips stick lifted her eyes to look at the person who had entered.
On recognition of the young lady before her she sprang from her seat and stood up.
"Uhh umm Miss Xia Jo An!" she managed to say despite the shocked face.
25minutes before.
'I am coming for you Xia Qing 'thought Jo An as she smirked leaning against the door.
" first let's make a call. " she said walking to her laugage where Su Yian haf put her belongings.
"Hello this is Xia speaking. " came the hoarse deep cold voice of the old man. Elder Xia as he picked the phone and replied.
"Grandpa I need you to do something for me. "Jo An said not even bothering to greet him first.
Elder Xia knowing it was his grand daughter the least favorite at that felt the urge to end the call but he gave it a quick thought.
"What is it? "he asked. He knew better than anyone else how rebellious young people can be, not to mention Jo An she dared to threaten him if he didn't comply his company is at stake.... Women....
With her looks she won't fail to get what she wants from Jun Ye not to mention his collapsing company. All he has to do now is listen to her.
"I want to join the film you had invested in last year that is to begin shooting this month. "Jo An said calmly waiting for the old man's reply.
If she wants to destroy the Xia family she must start with what they are involved in most. She will start with their favorite daughter.
In her past life This movies was sponsored by Elder Xia and his favorite grand daughter was given the female lead after pulling some strings by her parents.
"And I want the Second Female lead. "she continued.
This was the villainess part. She will make good use of it to drag Xia Qing down.
Meanwhile Elder Xia tensed up' how did she know about that movie. '
But upon hearing that she wanted the second female lead not the first elder Xia relaxed abit .Hod knows what trantumhis granddaughter would throw if she discovered that her role was givem to Jo An.
"Fine but you have to pass the auditions your---"Elder Xia was cut short.
"Grandpa am not doing the auditions just like your granddaughter ,"Jo An paused intentionally.
This old man what's her to take auditions and make her fail them claim that it's not his fault she could make it... well shame on him because his favorite granddaughter didn't take auditions so why does she have to.
"Just tell the manager to work on my file am going there now. "
with that she hung up the phone.
end of flashback.
"Good morning manager ,I am Jo An .I am new in the industry please take care of me. " Jo An said as she smiled fake sweetly at the manager.
"I, I know the directors have sent your file. I am just... I you.. " the female manager who wore the tag with her name Vicky Wang.
"what is it manager? "Jo Am asked with fake worry in her voice.
Vicky Wong gulped "No.. Nothing its just you are too beautiful ." she stammered.
"Thank you. "Jo An said.
"Oh, please take a seat. "Vicky Wang gestured for her and she complied.
"So let's talk bussiness... "Vicky started looking back to her Samsung laptop."Have you acted before?"she asked.
"No! "
"....."Vicky didn't reply immediately "I. see, them do you have a acting teacher?" she asked again.
"No "
"You should get one and utilize this last week because shooting starts next week. I wish you good luck. I will get you an assistant, she will contact you first thing tomorrow. Also here sign this. "
Vicky handed Jo An a file.
"Can I get my lawyer to first check through the contract. I will bring it back ."Jo An said.
If she is to get the old man under her feet she has to take precautions. So she just couldn't sign the contract hastily.
"Sure. " Vicky smiled. "I just hope thing work for you this industry is the worst be cautious. You are just 23years old. you still have a world before you. "she said standing to get a handshake from Jo An that she got effortlessly.

"Mom I have bright you a rice cake and ice-cream strawberry flavo-----" Jo An said walking into her mother's ward but couldn't complete what she was saying when her eyes fell on her mother's collapsed body on the floor.
"Mum!? " She called almost shouting when she ran throwing the bucket of Ice-cream on the floor and the rice cake that fell from its container to the floor leaving a mess.
"mum.. mum wake.. mum" tear welled up forming a glass shield on her honey hazel brown eyes.
"Doctor Doctor... someone out there help.. No No mummy " she immediately reached for the switch bell and pressed it before returning to her mother's unconscious body and cuddling it in her arms. She felt like crying but she was afaird her mother's would see her in this condition and get sad.
Soon a nurse and a doctor came to their aid.
"please don't leave me yet. "She prayed silently as she left the doctors do their job.
****Long Fei Ye's villa.
"it's already past midnight and she------" said Fei Ye was seated on his sofa in the living room that faced the door wearing his grey silk robe and his hair dump and a glass of whiskey and an ashtray on the table that had lots of ashes and cigarette pads that had been finished when she spotted her walking in making him not complete his sentence.
He watched silently as she strode into the living room with her head hung low, her hair in a pony tail as she wore a long-sleeved shirt dress that ended mid thigh ,with her heels in her left hand.
She continued to trail of not notice the beast observing her. She was too lost in her thoughts.
"Where are you from? "came the stretched question in a cold manner. The was it sounded had no worry or care. It felt like he was asking to satisfy his curiosity.
"...." Jo An halted in her movements but didn't reply, 'it's not like you care'sge sneer inwardly.
Fei Ye dropped his glass on the floor intentionally making Jo An shudder.
Then flashbacks of him strangling her next the day she refused to eat food when he asked her came to her mind. The last thing she wanted was to get killed by this ruthless man.
"I will ask again.... where have you been? "
