The new week began, and Martin, having taken some time off, started his new job.
After a lengthy period of preliminary preparations, the "Infernal Affairs" crew was about to move into the filming stage.
Before heading to New York to shoot, Warner Bros. Company held a script meeting and a meet-and-greet for the creative team.
Early in the morning, in a room at the Burbank Hotel, Mene crawled up from the carpet, glanced at Ellen who was still bleeding from above and below, licked his slightly swollen lips which tasted both salty and bitter, and quickly spat out a few times before rushing to the bathroom to brush his teeth thoroughly.
Ten minutes later, he emerged from the bathroom, gently patted Ellen's wrinkled face, and said, "Darling, you keep sleeping; I'm off to the crew."
Ellen, the casting director whose work with the crew had finished, opened her eyes with effort and pressed her hand onto Mene's mouth, "Baby, your skills here are amazing; I can't help myself."
