TRES
Lisa was a woman of her word, after a few days, she did in fact ask someone to send over another two sets of the exact same costume.
One was for her to return to the film crew, the other for her to keep. Irene took one, folded it, then tossed it back in the wardrobe, she knew she wouldn't touch it again. That kind of thing was fresh and new for a one-time play, more than that and she'd turn into some pervert.
But she was in a good mood, and she also hummed along to Karina's song, she even downloaded it to her phone and made it her ringtone.
Of course, there were plenty of ways to make Lisa change her ringtone.
But what would be the point? Wasn't the current outcome much better? From now on, every time Lisa heard that song, besides remembering who the singer was, she wouldn't be able to help but remember that one steamy night.
She didn't mind Karina calling Lisa's cell at all now. Hmm, the more often, the better.
Later, when Lisa had asked Irene to eat out with her, as soon as she heard Irene's newly changed ringtone, her expression wavered, "Seems like you really like this song."
"Mm-hmm, it sounds really nice."
Irene answered briefly, she made no mention of Karina's name.
"How's work been lately? It's been so hot, it must have been pretty exhausting." Lisa dropped the subject.
The heat hadn't yet dissipated by May, it really wasn't easy, having to film while dressed in the heavy costumes and the suffocating wigs on set. It was good that Irene was in decent shape, and was well taken care of by the film crew, she really wasn't having a hard time.
Irene told Lisa so.
"After Tag Heuer campaign, I'll be free in the afternoon tomorrow, do you want me to come visit you?" Lisa fixed her with the softest gaze.
Was she trying to reward Irene?
Whatever she gave, Lisa would respond with the corresponding compensation. What a fair trade.
The thoughts went round in Irene's mind, and she soon remembered she'd need to film opposite Karina the day after tomorrow. Being the head of the agency, Lisa must have known the details of their schedules. Since she'd chosen this particular occasion for a visit, did she plan on handling both lovers in one go?
Irene felt that Lisa was too unreasonable. She was putting so much effort into her work, yet here the other was slacking off.
But what could she do, that person was the sponsor afterall.
Lisa was quite pleased with Irene's obedience, she was no longer "busy with work" for the next few days, and spent the time at her place, two nights in a row.
She even arrived early at the studio on the afternoon of the third day and generously treated everyone in the film crew to patbingsu.
Apparently, Karina knew she was coming beforehand, and she made her way over to greet Lisa with a cute look, her huge sloe-black eyes fixed upon her intently.
Such a smoldering gaze, even Irene felt her heart skip a beat.
It was a shame that Lisa had to maintain her flawless image, she was polite and considerate in front of company and never crossed any boundaries. She could be flirtatious, but she never lost control of herself, treating everyone with the same kindness no matter who they were.
Karina, praised by Lisa with a few phrases in a formal tone, was visibly a bit disappointed. This was nothing unusual to Irene though, she nodded towards her, and went back to her corner to memorize her lines.
Lisa was familiar with the director too, after exchanging some small talk with her, Lisa came to Irene's side again, and made a show of looking through her script.
"Since the duty of workplace visitation has already been completed, shouldn't Miss Manoban go back to work already?"
"I'm free today anyway, we'll go home together when you're done for the day."
"Not scared that someone will get jealous?" Irene snuck a glance at Karina.
Lisa dipped her head lower and lower, her thin lips barely grazing by the ends of Irene's hair, and asked with a laugh, "Nugu?"
Huh, her acting was better than Irene's.
Irene figured she was no match for her, and could only return to memorizing her lines.
Not long later, it was time for Irene and Karina to film their fight scene. This was a simple TV drama, and so the plot could be considered quite simple— the Lee family's head clan, played by Irene, had run over to reason with Karina, but since the two people weren't able to see eye-to-eye, a huge argument erupted. At the very end, she would just need to make an impatient face, then reach out to push Karina away....
The director went over the scenario with both of them and even allowed them to go through a basic rehearsal to get some perfect angle.
Everything seemed to be going well when they were finally filming the real deal.
Karina yelled at the top of her lungs, her face beet red, perfectly demonstrating the arrogance of a daughter born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Irene, on the other hand had very few lines, she only needed to smirk or scoff. She had to command her men to flipped Karina down, and then Irene will end her.
According to the script, at this moment, Karina should swung her sword rapidly, stumbled and staggered back two steps, with her eyes opened wide in anger. But although her eyes were opened wide, her body seemed to have met with a powerful force.
Slam!!!
Suddenly, she lost her balance and crashed heavily to the ground.
Irene was momentarily stunned.
She did shove Karina just now, but it seemed like...she hadn't put that much strength into it, had she?
"Ouch... Hurts..." Karina tried to stand but failed, her hand reached out to touch her ankle as she cried out in pain.
The director immediately yelled cut.
The crew all gathered around her.
"What happened?"
"Did you hurt yourself?"
"Did you twist your ankle?"
It was fairly normal to have a little accident on set.
Irene snapped out of it quickly and walked over to take Karina's arm.
Karina flinched, then seemingly avoided her hand, and explained to the clamoring crowd, "It's nothing, it's nothing, my foot just hurts a little, I'll be fine with a short break. It was me who was off-balance earlier, it's got nothing to do with Irene sunbae-nim..."
Of course, it did.
Many pairs of eyes had seen it just now, Karina only fell to the ground after Irene had shoved her. As for the amount of strength involved in that push, only those directly involved would know.
Irene silently drew back her hand and felt her fingertips grow slightly cold.
Karina stubbornly tried to stand again, but she still couldn't. When her shoes and socks were removed, her ankle was honestly a bit swollen. Her eyes were growing moist, the teardrops were already brimming over, but she tried her best to not let them fall.
"Hurry up and get the first aid kit!"
"Don't know if her bones got hurt, I think we should take her to the hospital."
With the situation in such disarray, obviously, Lisa couldn't remain on the sidelines, and so she came forward to press a hand to Karina's shoulder.
"I'll take her to the hospital." She appropriately said at the appropriate time.
"It's just a small injury, Miss Manoban didn't have to go to so much trouble, I can still film." Karina insisted and kept shaking her head.
She tried to stand again, but as soon as her foot touched the ground, she drew a sharp breath in pain.
She blinked her eyes, and the tears finally overflowed, streaming along that adorable face. She looked so delicate and fragile, but from where Irene stood, she could just see the barest upturned curve of Karina's mouth.
Like she mocked Irene while saying, Drama.
That expression was gone in a flash, covered up extremely quickly by Karina. If Irene's eyes weren't so sharp, then she really would've thought that she'd seen wrong.
Sure enough, this one was a little fox.
