Final Day of Filming

The scene took place in a park while it was raining. The two people looked at each other from underneath their respective umbrellas. The male lead was handsome even if he wasn't her type. His name was Jay King, and he was playing the role of Mark. He was tall and slender with a pretty, delicate face.

As he approached her under a baby pink umbrella, she noticed that his hair was cut stylishly, and he looked refreshing in his button up white shirt rolled at the elbows, slim black slacks, and fresh white sneakers.

There was a bold watch on his wrist and a simple black ring on his left hand. He presented the visual of a young, handsome man full of youthful passion.

He stared blankly at Valentina as the director yelled start.

Valentina slowly approached the man. She was dressed in a short white dress that loosely highlighted her figure. her hair trailed down her back in casual curls and her feet were getting wet since she wore delicate sandals. She held a clear umbrella, and her face was gently smiling underneath.

"Uhm.. thank you for meeting me here-" Valentina began sweetly.

"What do you want?" the male lead cut her off rudely.

"I wanted to properly confess to you?" Valentina began.

"About all the villainous things you've done?" at Valentina's shock expression, he snorted.

"You think I don't know. Anna couldn't hide it from me. She had been quietly protecting a poisonous woman like you and I don't know why!" his voice began to increase as he thought of all the things the girl he loved had suffered.

"I did it because I love you! I wanted you to notice me!" Valentina cried. She felt tears coming into her eyes as she finally confessed her feelings to her crush.

"Who would love a poisonous, two-faced woman like you! Listen to me clearly, I will never love you! If you were the last woman on earth I would still not love you! I have only one woman in my heart and it's Anna. The next time you see me, cross the street or you'll regret it." When he finished yelling his words, he turned his back on Valentina.

She gasped, heartbroken before she ran and hugged the back of the male lead, her umbrella forgotten on the ground.

"Don't say that. Please forgive me! I won't do it again. I'll never do something to make you unhappy."

Suddenly, Valentina heard some splashing, and a voice shakily rang out.

"Mark….is what you're saying true? Do you really love me?" It was Anna, the female lead.

"Yes, you're the only one who will ever be in my heart.

Now and forever." Mark steadfastly promised. Without looking back, he wrenched his body way from Valentina, accidently pushing her away with his hands causing her to fall.

He ran over to Anna and quickly pulled her under his pink umbrella. Putting an arm around her, he murmured, "Silly girl, how could you give me your only umbrella."

The loving couple walked away without looking back while Valentina lay where she had fallen on the floor.

Even though the male lead actor had not pushed her down hard, the impact had still caused Valentina to cough up a single mouthful of blood as she fell. Her shoulder where he had pushed her also hurt as well and she did her best to hold back tears before letting them out. This body was really too weak. It felt like it would leave a bruise. How was she supposed to live like this?

The cameras panned to her hopeless, broken eyes that leaked tears being washed away by the rain and held for a minute or two before the director yelled "CUT!"

All of a sudden, the scene ended, and the set became busy.

Some crew members came to hurry Valentina to an area where she could change out of her wet clothes and get medical treatment while the rain machine was stopped, and the scene packed up.

From beginning to end Valentina never interacted with the female lead. She had filmed her characters individual death scene a while ago so she only had to say her goodbye and reconnect with the team when they would have their cast dinner and promotional events.

She quickly changed her clothes and dried her hair so she wouldn't catch a cold. After collecting her things, she went to go say her goodbyes. First she went to Rina and hugged the girl. They had become much closer, and Rina had become the person who styled her for the past week.

"I'm going to miss you so much!" Rina almost had tears in her eyes as she squeezed the life out of Valentina.

"Please" Valentina gasped, "you're going to kill me with your hug."

Rina laughed and let her go. "Keep in touch and let me know if you every want professional styling. For you, I'll do it pro-bono."

"Sure!" Valentina smiled back at her. she made her rounds to the people who weren't busy and said goodbye to them since she might not see them again.

Her final goodbye was to the director who was surprisingly kind to her.

"Miss Valentina, you've surpassed the low expectations I had of you." he started off.

"Uhm…thank you director. It was a pleasure working with you." Valentina wasn't sure how to respond to the back handed compliment, so she just skipped past it.

"You actually did really well so I have a role I'd like to recommend you for. It's a music video that a friend is working on, and I think you fit the role of one of the characters. Is this something you would be interested in?"

"Yes sir!" Valentina responded brightly. Who wouldn't be interested in new role! Especially one for a friend of Director Cranston. This would be another way to gain acknowledgment, especially since the music video would probably be released quicker than the film. She hadn't forgotten that her fame was currently -1000000.

"Excellent, I'll have my assistant message you and your agency the details and I'll let my friend know you'll be participating." Director Cranston continued.

"Thank you so much!" Valentina said again with much more respect. This was such an unexpected windfall.

"Keep up the good work and continue taking acting lessons. You have a lot to learn but the basic foundation is there. I'll see you when we gather for our final dinner."

"Yes!"

Finished speaking with her the director walked away. Valentina waited until he was gone before she headed out herself.

When she got home and sat on her couch, she heard a sound.

[Ding!]

[Sub-Task Completed – Gain the Directors Approval]

[Hidden Reward has been received by host – Guaranteed role in the music video for the song `Bring me to life` by Band Fallen Angels]

Bring me to life? It was one of the top trending songs by Fallen Angels. It was a sequel to another song – Kill your love which had swept the charts when it was first released as well.

Thinking about what an amazing gift this was, Valentina almost wanted to kiss the system. It was time for her to film her first music video.
