3 The Hunter Becomes the Prey While the Prey Turned Out to be a Predator.

In a restaurant inside Emerald Hotel, some people were sitting while waiting for the main stars of the dinner. Well, it became a banquet because of the movie budget was too huge in amount. It wouldn't do any justice to call the dinner as mere 'dinner'.

Not only people from production crew, some people who were invited were slowly coming.

A delicate woman in her early 20s, adorned a white knee length dress was talking to the middle aged woman beside her. "Senior Fang, It's really pleasing to work with you." She said with a shy smile.

The middle aged woman who was called as Senior Fang nodded as she compliment the woman. "It's also good to work with you Chu Mei. You are really talented. If you work hard, you can become popular soon." Fang Feixue, or called as Senior Fang was one of the supporting actresses in the movie. She played quiet a pivotal role in it. Chu Mei, on the other hand played as the third female lead.

Chu Mei nodded in embarrassment. Her cheeks were tinted pink that it was very lovely for the men who looked at her. "I'll work hard like sister Yun Yao Feacher Fang."

Senior Fang frowned. Then, she spoke in contempt. "Huh. You should not become like her." Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. Teacher Fang looked surrounded but she didn't see Jiang Yun Yao. "She didn't come earlier than her seniors. Someone like her is too arrogant." Senior Fang clearly stated her dislike towards Jiang Yun Yao to everyone. The filming had already finished so she didn't need to carefully voice out her dislike towards Jiang Yun Yao because tonight banquet would be the last banquet for her too see Jiang Yun Yao.

Chu Mei who bowed her head shyly smirked. Then, she raised her head as she said, "Probably sister Yun Yao is busy Senior Fang."

Senior Fang harrumphed, "What busy? Everyone here is busy. Little Yan is also busy but he still come early." She rebuked Chu Mei words. In her opinion, Jiang Yun Yao, as a junior actress, should come earlier than them, the seniors like Little Yan, the male lead of the movie.

Chu Mei appeased gently. Nobody knew how gleeful she was inside. "Probably there is something urgent happen Senior Fang." She handed a galss of water to Senior Fang.

"Huh. Just think so." Senior Fang reached to the glass of water and runk it. "That Jiang Yun Yao is too arrogant. Too arrogant. She... "

"Is too arrogant." This time, another voice continued Senior Fang sentence. Everyone inside looked at the source of the voice.

Jiang Yun Yao stood in the entrance. She stood straight yet it was so natural that people thought she was in a photo session.

She wore turtle neck red cashmere sweater set. She strode forward with her long legs confidently.

There was only one thought in everyone's mind. 'She is worthy of her title as the empress.'

She walked to the table where Chu Mei and Senior Fang sat. It was a round table so she occupied the seat acrossed them. "Do you have any opinion about me Senior Fang? I'll listen to it carefully." She said calmly as she pasted her trademark smile.

Senior Fang who was speaking loudly earlier startled. She was so embarassed when she saw Jiang Yun Yao.

Juang Yun Yao kept smiling. Everyone who saw her was nervous while Chu Mei craftiness and viciousness flashed past her eyes. "Sister Yun Yao, Senior Fang is just in bad mood. She didn't mean to criticize you."

Jiang Yun Yao shifted her gaze. She saw the delicate young woman who spoke on the behalf of Senior Fang. She smiled "Oh. It's Chu Mei. When you arrived?"

Chu Mei face sank. She viciously wanted to tear the woman if she didn't consider her reputation. "I have just arrived sister Yun Yao."

Jiang Yun Yao nodded. "Ooo..." She didn't respond Chu Mei further. Instead, she asked Senior Fang genially. "What do you think about me Senior Fang."

Senior Fang clenched her fists as she spoke, "You are just a Junior yet you put haughty look. We, seniors arrived earlier than you. But you come late? What a good attitude you have." Senior Fang didn't bother the attitude much. Since Jiang Yun Yao asked her, she just need to say everything she dislike from Jiang Yun Yao. Some of the seniors actor and actresses who disliked Jiang Yun Yao nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yun Yao nodded. Her face was calm as if the one who was being criticized was not her. "May I ask you senior?"

Senior Fang startled. But she nodded, "In which basis did you say I put haughty look?" She heard Jiang Yun Yao said.

Senior Fang didn't answer. Honestly, It was her personal opinion towards Jiang Yun Yao. Her prejudice towards Jiang Yun Yao clouded her reasoning, her objective point of view.

"And second. Senior, how can you say that I'm late? It is said that we should gather here 08:00 PM yet I come here at 07:55 PM. There is still five minutes away from the designated time. I couldn't come earlier than you because I have a work to be done. Well, I can come earlier but will you compensate the breach of agreement in my job contract? If you can, I'll come here earlier for sure." Juang Yun Yao looked at Chu Mei. She smiled yet there was only darkness in her eyes. "Isn't it right Chu Mei?"

"Yes Sister Yun Yao." Chu Mei asnwered meekly. She gazed down and balled her hands tightly.

"Senior Fang, it might not be my place to preach. Prejudice make you lost your reasing ability. It makes you lost your ability to think objectively. It's like how you see the world from a tinted glass window." She said gently. Her voice was smooth and sooth other people who heard her words that they started to believe what Jiang Yun Yao said was reasonable."

Senior Fang, Chu Mei and other seniors who thought her badly was red in embarrassment. Senior Fang especially, she was too ashamed to speak more.

Jiang Yun Yao smirked at the duo. One was old and too imbecile and was controlled by the devious younger 'sister'. The devious younger sister could only become a white lotus.

Jiang Yun Yao knew Senior Fang prejudice against her was the work of Chu Mei. In this regards, Jiang Yun Yao praised Chu Mei for instilling her 'bad' impression to Senior Fang.

If it was in the past, Jiang Yun Yao would sublty direct her words towards her offenders. But she was too lazy to do so. So, to solve the problem, she just need to jabbed them viciously although what she said earlier was not vicious enough. It could temporarily suppress them but the aftermath, she knew she would be disliked by more people.

But she could care less. It's not important how many people disliked her.

The atmosphere was akward. Juang Yun Yao kept smiling while Chu Mei and the others mantained stiff smiles. Fortunately, this atmosphere was broken by the arrival of Director Jiang.

....

The banquet finished latter than expected. Jiang Yun Yao slightly drunk. She walked towards the restroom to wash her face.

Jiang Yun Yao was about to opened the door when she heard 'click' from the other side. It seemed that someone was naughty enough to locked her up.

She fished out of her purse and took two wires from it. Then, she inserted the wires into the door knob.

She was like a professional thief. In a matter of seconds, the door clicked.

Chu Mei who was standing on the other side was baffled. She had locked the door. How could Jiang Yun Yao opened it? She only need to wait some escorts to get into the restroom. It was almost midnight so not many people would come to the rest room. They could execute the 'deed' with Juang Yun Yao inside of the restroom. When someone found out, they would see how bitchy and unbridled Jiang Yun Yao was. It would inevitably ruined Jiang Yun Yao

She got into the restroom and looked around. There was no one until she felt someone tapped her neck and her vision blurred. With a thud, she fainted.

Jiang Yun Yao looked at Chu Mei who was laying on the floor. She chuckled as she said, "Haiyah. It's you who bring your own doom. If there's another chance, be good."

Jiang Yun Yao walked out of the restroom. Not long after that, Some studs got into the restroom and began doing the deed. They only knew that they had to do the deed with a woman in this restroom at this hour. Unfortunately, the target was wrong.

The hunter becomes the prey while the prey turned out to be a predator.
