Movie Role
THE MAN AT THE DOOR
Anna woke up with a sneeze. She stared outside and realized that the sun was already quite high up. "So I overslept" She sneezed once again.
Today was the conference for her new movie "Lost In The City"
The movie was a hotcake because many bigshot investors had invested quite a huge amount of money in it. Travis had previously offered her the female lead job even without an audition yet she had declined.
Those were the days when she was making herself a good wife for Harry Lu. Harry often told her that working was not ideal and she believed him without a doubt.
She even offered the role to Lilian Ye just because she was an actress. Who knew that her acting role extended even where the cameras did not reach.
Thinking about it now, she was only nineteen yet she was ready to throw herself into the cycle of marriage. She had the two idiots to thank. If her eyes were not opened, she would still be stupidly sitting at home waiting for a marriage that would probably destroy her life.
The current her did not have money or an agency that she could rely on which meant that she could not glam herself for the conference. Lucky for her, her best friend Bella was the best make-up artist she knew so asking her for help this one time was not quite bad.

CLOUD HOTEL
Cameras were already set up outside. The hall was decorated to the nines and a huge banner was placed on top of the two biggest pillars with the words LOST IN THE CITY
Many of the investors had already arrived and on the biggest table, several cast members had also arrived. On the table, the plaques where the names of the main cast were shining lightly with the glistering lights.
In another room, someone was sitting lightly in one of the best seats. She was surrounded by many assistants who flashed past glamming her in different ways. Her dress was beautiful and the makeup made her look like an angel. This was Lilian Ye.
"Miss, your skin is really good, I don't even have to do much." One of the makeup assistants beamed in an attempt to flatter the other.
Lilian beamed immediately and asked "Really?"
The assistant beamed and almost answered but was stopped when he saw a person at the door, it was Harry Lu.
His face was full of smiles as he stared at Lilian who blushed as he stared.
"Don't stare too much, there are people here," Lilian said as She slowly made her way toward him.
Harry only chuckled as the assistants scurried away from the room and locked it for the couple. They entangled for a little while. Lilian's clothes which were impeccable became slightly crooked.
"Oh! before I forget, did you find out who the female lead is? I have tried asking but I still don't know who she is." Lilian said as she fixed her clothes.
"I have tried asking too but I have not gotten any answer from the producers," Harry said as he lovingly petted her hair.
The two were thrown into thoughts, each with his own.

Celebrities made their way up the steps. Camera lights blinked like crazy. On the podium, Travis stood as he ushered the main cast up the stage. His company was producing the movie and he was also one of the investors.
The cast included a B-list actor known as Simon Xu. His movies received praise all over the country and he was chosen as the second male lead for the movie. Another one was an elder named Zhuang Ming. He was one of the most respected actors and he got the role of the female lead's father.
The second female lead was Lilian Ye. Even Anna's sister Julia got one of the supporting roles in the film. She too, as Lilian had dressed to the nines, her make-up delicate and her clothes impeccable.
On the podium, only the female lead and male lead were not there.
Buzzes started going around as everyone started guessing who the two might be.
Before it lasted long, the doors opened to reveal a youthful figure
One of the cameramen shouted
"WHO IS THAT!!"
