Noa looked at the producer Damar who was his friend. Damar looked at Noa as well. The two of them were standing near the meeting room of the Cruz entertainment building.
" I thought I was drunk when I read your name on the paper by the author of Noa", Whispered Damar.
" And I can't believe you created a TV show like this!", Noa whispered back.
" How did you get involved with these people? Even had a scandal with a big artist. I thought you were so cute it turned out to be the temperature ", Damar whispered back while looking at Noa in wonder.
Noa looked sadly at Damar. " I don't know, I'm kind of free-falling into their world. Can this event be canceled?", Noa hoped.
" Can't. You want me to risk the career I've built? Not going ", Damar stared ruthlessly at the pleading Noa. "And just think of it as a stepping stone for you. I'm sure after this all your books will be sold out" said Damar optimistically.
Noa is considering spending a year of her life with Cruz. Every 2 weeks with activities for 3 days, is not a good idea. Noa could be thin and age faster because of Cruz's unique nature. Unknowingly Noa let out a long breath.
" Producer, can we start?", Letu called.
" Okay, let's get started" the producer said.
Noa and Cruz listen to the team's explanation with khyusuk. Sometimes Noa shook her head like she did not believe the rules made.

" A question?", asked one of their Creative teams.
" Yes Cruz please", they welcome.
" We have to stay one house ? For 1 year? Together every day?", Cruz asked in disbelief.
" Yes.. To build Chemistry you have to live with Mr. Cruz" Damar's staff replied.
" We can't have a boyfriend for 1 year?", Noa tried to convince again.
"Yes, the author of Noa. In the hope that the two of you will not be involved in any romance scandal", Damar replaced his staff replied.
" Should I do a prawedding photo? Then if I get married it's my second prawedding picture?", Cruz asked again.
" What romantic activities? Like what? Why not elaborate?", Noa asked.
Damar watched these two people in front of him while massaging his forehead.
" Stop." Damar lifted his hand into the air. ", Waaah of all couples during my time as writer and producer of this show. The couple is the most active asking yes ha ha ha ", Damar laughed patiently.
"Ha ha ha really is Mr Damar?", Letu laughed awkwardly. " Cruz, Noa it looks like they understand now huh? Thanks to producer Damar's explanation", Letu closed the meeting.
" but... ", noa wants to protest.
Damar narrowed his eyes at Noa making Noa immediately megem 'just watch out Damar, I will beat you tomorrow in the office', inner Noa full of emotions.
After the meeting was over, they finally went home. Filming will start in 2 days. Before that Noa had to move his goods to one of the houses that had been prepared.
Noa stood in front of the building lobby thinking about how to call a taxi with a short skirt because the day had started at night.
Cruz approached Noa, then watched her. " You're not coming home?", asked Cruz.
" I want to go home. But don't take the car because your man picked me up this morning" Noa replied as she continued to hold her skirt.
Cruz noticed Noa who seemed to be uncomfortable with her clothes. But Noa did look different, when entering the meeting room Cruz was fixated on him.
" Why are you wearing that shirt if you're uncomfortable?", Cruz asked again as he opened his flannel shirt.
" I'm comfortable. Brother Tan is good to me", Noa replied as she looked towards the highway, it felt like she wanted to run there but was afraid of the wind blowing her skirt.
Cruz approached Noa and tied the shirt to Noa's waist, then arranged it to cover the short skirt.
Noa is fixated on Cruz's treatment of her. Noa's tense face slightly met red because Cruz was very close to her. Noa could even feel Cruz breathing down her cheek.
" The next time you're uncomfortable with the clothes you gave you, you'll have to turn them down. Understand?", Cruz spoke while looking at Noa.
" Yes", Noa answered awkwardly.
" Yes yes, do not answer the doang", continued Cruz again while pinching Noa's forehead slowly with his finger.
" Yes very chatty anyway", Noa began to sewot holding her sick forehead.
" Wait here, I'll drop you off" Cruz said again.
" No need, I'll take a taxi" Noa said again.
" with that short skirt of yours? ", Cruz glanced towards the skirt of Noa which was not all covered in Flannel. Noa looked at her skirt then fell silent.
" Come with me, don't be stubborn" Cruz said fiercely.
Noa nodded obediently. Cruz reentered the lobby and followed Noa behind. While in the elevator they have to follow the people who have gone first to go up to the top floor.
up to the 10th floor where the big studio is. All the staff got down there. The elevator becomes empty, leaving only Noa and Cruz.
" Is there a shoot?", asked Noa.
" There", Cruz answered briefly.
The elevator stopped on the 8th floor of the meeting building they were using. Someone got into the elevator. Cruz immediately pulled Noa back near the elevator wall and she placed Noa behind her back. It was as if he was hiding Noa from the eyes of others. Noa was silent and there was not much protest.
Jay enters with July and his team. July smiled at Cruz and looked curiously at the person behind Cruz's back.
" Y Cruz. Is it over?", Jay greets Cruz.
" Hey Jay. It's over, I have a little business".
" Hey Cruz", July gently reprimanded.
" Hey", replied Cruz indifferently.one hand Cruz held Noa's hand behind his back.
"Hi, Noa", Jay slightly looked behind Cruz's back.
"Hai Jay", Noa replied to Jay's greeting while slightly curling over Cruz's shoulder.
