"Alright, I do admit that he has made right choice. Say girl, do you want to join my company?" Director Sun was very happy. This girl would sure go long way, if she did not sabotage herself by any means.

"I appreciate the sentiments, but honestly, I don't even know what all this entails. To me, it does not make a difference whether I am with my boss or you, so I would rather choose loyalty then," she flat out rejected the offer.

In Director Sun's heart, her rating increasing further, this girl was gem indeed, for now at least.

For no one knew how a human being's heart swayed, what factors made a person to change their bottom line. Once this pure girl really entered the industry, would she be able to maintain such carefree attitude?

"Good, good. That's what I wanted to hear. Wait for me to contact you then. I think I know where I cold use you," Director Sun got up from his seat and stretched out his hand to shake hers. "I am glad to have met you child and I look forward to the day when we will work together."

She was surprised that she got on good side of this hotshot director in a few sentences, that too on the first day. She had always thought most of the people in this industry were old lechers. But this guy seemed really genuine and he knew Wang Zenghao personally.

Did she really strike gold when she signed the contract with WhirlWind Entertainment?

Anyhow, she bowed to the man and sat down again in her comfortable position. She got a few more stares from the people around since she managed to bag an offer from this big director just like that.

While she was amazed at whatever was happening, a scream came from faraway.

"Someone has fallen into the lake!" someone informed everyone. Everyone ran towards the place. Chen Waan did not even know there was a lake nearby. Wow, was this another plot by another girl?

Contrary to what she had feared, it was Mo Yifan who had fallen into the lake. When she reached near the lake, she saw Mo Yifan shivering really badly. His complexion did not look too good, neither did Wang Zibo's. Everyone was glaring at his teammate, Su Miao Miao.

"I am sorry, I am really sorry. I did not mean to cause trouble," she apologized to everyone there, her face all red due to embarrassment. Her eyes were fearful, almost as if she was trying to hide something. The anxiety in her behavior was quite apparent.

"What happened?" Director Sun asked, worried. An accident like this, if was due to someone's error, then it would bring bad name to his show. He had seen such incidents happen before in his career, mostly due to rivalry and jealousy. But there was a limit to retort to such means in this cold a winter. Plus, it was not a white lotus that fell into the cold water, but it was the king of idols, Mo Yifan. What if his company decided to press charges against the production?

He massaged his temples, this was just the beginning of the day and something like this had already happened. That was why he was against bringing so many rookies together, especially when Mo Yifan was coming.

When the question came forward, the young girl bit her lip and her eyes darted around, seemingly hesitant to speak up. Her forehead suddenly became full of sweat beads, as if she was the one who had jumped into the lake.

"I-I was trying to collect my flags which someone had thrown into the water. I was about to slip when senior came to help me and somehow took the fall himself," her big round limpid eyes reddened, tears welling up, earning sympathy from everyone, especially the males in the area.

She pitifully looked at Mo Yifan who had to bear the brunt of her clumsiness. She was sincerely apologetic but she was in for disappointment though, for Mo Yifan did not care at all. He had seen such ploys too many times in his career. It could be said that she might have thrown the flags inside water herself, just to gain favor from people around since she was not gaining any with him at all.

Director Sun immediately asked his camera crew to bring forth all the footage and check if any of them were shooting anything around the area.

Mo Yifan went to change inside their van. This was going to take some time. Director Sun was a thorough person after all. It was suspicious enough that someone would just throw away Su Miao Miao's flags rather than keeping them for themselves.

"Take some hot coffee here," Chen Waan came and offered some hot beverage to the man whose eyes were still not focused. She tilted her head, the guy in front of her was not behaving normally. Something was amiss.

He sat down on the chair and took the coffee from her hand absentmindedly. He could have easily spilled it had she not kept her grip firm over the flask. He did look shaken. She sat down to check up on him while Wang Zibo was talking on the phone on the side.

"Say Mo Yifan, are you perhaps, afraid of water?" she asked him in a very soft voice. She looked at his handsome face which was devoid of any makeup now. His soft skin was radiating with freshness in the sun that had just come out behind the clouds. Chen Waan's heart thumped, his eyes contained an inexplicable pain. Did he have any past trauma related to water which was not public?

As soon as Mo Yifan heard her words, his eyes widened with shock. How was this girl so perceptive? Did she already have a knowledge of this fact? For not wanting anything to be his weakness, he had never revealed this face in public.

For most of the shoots underwater, he had always used a body double. Only a select few knew about this.

"I-I am sorry. I did not mean to pry. But if I could help with anything at all," she gently touched his slightly shaking hand. Her soft hands were extremely warm, she had kept her hands in her jacket's pockets for long.

It was a very comforting sensation, thus Mo Yifan did not say anything, despite knowing that the people were around and this might cause a scandal. He just closed his eyes and relished into the moment.

"Does their relationship not look too intimate?" Su Ming Ming whispered to her manager while trying to placate her sister who was still sobbing out of guilt. She would probably be finished if Mo Yifan decided to take any action against her.

"Sister, do not feel bad. It was not your fault after all. Someone was playing dirty with you," she said while caressing her hair. Su Miao Miao shook her head, as if she knew her end was coming. She had also put her own sister at jeopardy.

"Miao Miao, what was the use of trying to save your flags? Now you have not only put your and your sister's career in harm's path but us as well. I don't think boss would be very happy," the manager scolded the girl further. A chill traveled down her spine when she heard those words. They were just fifteen years old. It was bad enough that they had to resort to underhanded methods to gain favor from people, now they had to hear these harsh words too.

Su Ming Ming covered her sister's ears and yelled at her manager in front of everyone, "Can you please be more polite?"
