Wearing a shade, white suit with brown scarf draped over his shoulders.
“What are you trying to do?” Cloud asks weirdly.
“I will meet the final boss. I have to look the part of the villain.”
“By looking like a weird guy?”
“By dressing like a mafia boss.”
Adelio said.
“What? If you want to act like the mafia, wear black suit, black.sunglasses and black shoes.”
“I’m a mafia boss,not one of the goons. Mafia bosses wear white to stand out.”
“Right, so they’ll be easy to spot from afar and get killed.” Cloud rolls his eyes.
Adelio pulls his sunglasses down.
“You are so negative. You should call yourself a negative man.”
“And you are so positive, you should call yourself,Covid.” Cloud saif then shuts up after realizing that he is stooping to Adelio’s level which he finds demeaning.
“Shh.” Adelio uses his index finger and forcefully hushes Cloud lips.
Cloud slaps his finger angrily.
Adelio with Cloud and Damon went to the script reading of Chandler’s new film.
They are both walking out of the elevator when they walk in an intense atmosphere.
Adelio looked left and right and heaved a relieved sigh when he didn’t see Chandler.
“That’s your main protag.” Cloud whispers.
“Oh…Well let’s turn around then.” Adelio whispers back.
Cloud smirks.
“Aren’t you curious about the winner in life?”
“Winner in life my ass. Only the reader considers him a winner in life thanks to him meeting the love interest and succeeding to win against all schemes against him but maybe in his p.o.v, he’d rather have a more decent life.”
“Who knows. Doesn’t he achieve all his goals in the end?”
Adelio looks down and sees Cloud sneering at the sight of his mortal enemy. Maybe he did say he won’t bother with him anymore but it doesn’t mean he let go of his anger.
“Let’s go.” Adelio grabs Cloud’s hand and pulls him.
“No need to pull me.” Cloud snorts.
Damon watches the two interactions. It doesn’t feel like they just met 3 days ago. It feels like they have known each other for a long time. And most of the time Cloud would say something more mature than his boss but they are totally sinc.
They walk around the fighting people.
Damon gives a quick look but he really can’t see anything special about Loki Devian.
Of course he looks handsome. Who is not slightly good looking in the entertainment business? Good looks is just the basic of all the basic requirements.
Damon followed the two large and small who kept bickering nonchalantly as they walked.
“Chandler! Cloud!” Silently, away from the crowd. Chandler is reading his script seriously.
If not for his new assistant, he won’t notice them.
Chandler stood up and smiled.
He would see Adelio later too. They will have a dinner date. But it is still sweet to see them coming here to see him as a sign of support.
“Why are you here?”
“You said you’ll have a script reading today. I’m just around here so I visited. Are we disturbing?” Adelio smiles but he tries not to be touchy when they are outside.
“Hm…” Chandler wryly smiles and looks around.
“We had a break after the third male lead and the main antagonist had a little misunderstanding.”
“God, they aren’t even the main characters but they are already making trouble?” Adelio looks at the commotion.
“Who is right?”
He whispers.
“That…It wasn’ about who is wrong or right. It’s just about saying the line is smoother or faster..” Chandler shrugged his shoulders.
“Truth be told, it doesn’t matter but the director could have stopped it if he really wanted but he just stayed there watching. I think he is unhappy with that main antagonist girl so he is using Loki to oppose her indirectly. Loki already debuted a year ago and has a decent fan base among us newbies but he is not that influential yet so there is conflict among them.” Chandler sighs.. “Seriously, it doesn’t make sense why they have to make that a big of a deal. Script reading is so we can fix these things.”
“I’ll talk to the director.” Adelio said.
“And what would you say?” Cloud raises a brow.
“Not to waste my baby’s time.” Adelio says grinning at Cloud and winking at Chandler.
Chandler chuckles while Cloud rolls his eyes.
“Damon, don’t we invest in this film? If not, we should invest. Let’s make sure Chandler will have a better filming experience.”
“Just stop.” Cloud shakes his head.
“Making things from nothing is more troublesome. It’s best to be low key.”
“I agree. If the director targets me it’s more awkward.” Chandler said seriously.
“You little thing..But you’ll have to tell me if anybody tried to bully you.”
“I will.” Chandler nods.
“Promise?” Adelio said defeatedly pouting.
“I promise.” Chandler smiles, getting sweeter.
“Tsk.” Cloud walks away feeling embarrassed.
Damon steps aside too.
Cloud gives Damon a side eye.
Then he snorted.
They didn’t say anything for a while.
“You should cherish your job and be more honest.” Cloud said seriously after being fed up with the silence. He had a day full of things he wanted to tell this despicable assistant of his.
“I know.” Damon said.
Cloud grinds his teeth.
“You should not bite the hand that feed you.”
“Ofcourse.”
Cloud angrily clenched his fist.
“And don’t betray your boss.”
Damon raised his brows.
“I never betrayed my boss.”
Cloud laughed angrily.
He glares at Damon with a mocking smirk but he doesn’t know if the smirk is for him or Damon.
“Never?”
“I don’t know why you have been insisting I betrayed my boss but I never have done that. Even from my old boss to my new boss.”
“Heh.” Cloud looks away.
Then slowly, he remembers that he pouch Damon early and he has been working for him for a long time.
So the old and new boss…isn’t it just the same him?
Damon stares at Cloud who has a lot of internal struggles.
He wonders why the two feel perfectly normal to be together. And why he never questioned why Adelio keeps bringing Cloud wherever. It just feels natural with him around. He could guess, but he can’t verbally say what he is thinking because it sounded illogical and weird, that the two have switched places.
“Have you two made up?” Adelio smiles, walking to them.
“What?” Cloud snorted.
Damon tilts his head. Not knowing what it means.
Adelio smiles again.
“Make up, you two are good friends.”
“I don’t have friends.” Cloud said.
“No man is friendless.”
Adelio insists on kissing Cloud’s forehead and was hit in his pouty lips.
“It’s really strange.” Damon sighs.
