Supersesses

5. Illarios

"I'm really looking forward to filming this time. Moreover, this is my first shoot since returning to Rome," said Analia who showed the expression of the story. The woman looked very excited to attend the meeting this time.

How not? This was his first shoot after returning to the entertainment world.

Analia took a few years off. The hiatus of the entertainment world of Rome makes many people look forward to the return of the beautiful actor who has won several awards.

The hiatus of Analia even really makes a lot of her fans miss because the woman did not even show her activities on social media.

Analia had returned to Argentina, to her father's house to rest and enjoy time with the family that was lost due to the time much seized by work.

If Analia seems excited, it is different with Elvera who just remembered something.

The woman's face suddenly turned pale with sweat pouring down her forehead. There was something he had forgotten, and he had not been able to tell Analia until today.

"An, there's something I have to say," he said suddenly. Analia who heard her soft voice spontaneously turned to the woman beside her.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so nervous?" asked Analia who was conscious with a different face than her manager.

"Actually.." Elvera hung up her words for a moment. He swallowed his hard spit. It was hard for him to say that there was something he was hiding from her.

Ting!

The elevator door opened first. Elvera and Analia were still silent while looking at each other.

Analia was still waiting for what the woman was about to say.

"Look, who is this?" Baritone a stranger immediately seized the attention of Analia.

He looked at Elvera. In just a split second, his expression instantly changed in shock upon seeing who was in front of him.

...*...

If my calculations are correct, I will meet the players in the corridor. After that Mr. Ilario will come and immediately start the core of the show, Lucio's mind while continuing to follow Ciro who is now approaching the elevator.

They did not meet the receptionist first because they already knew where the room that would be the meeting place was held.

Arriving at the elevator door, Ciro pressed the button. Wait for a moment until the elevator opens.

Oh, naw. Waitaminute! There's a part I forgot!

If not wrong, before I meet the others…

I'll meet Mr. Ilario in this elevator.

Lucio glanced at the clock that was coiled around his wrist.

If my memory is not wrong, in less than three minutes, he will appear.

Lucio turned his attention around. He looked towards the entrance, and before long as he expected, the man actually appeared.

Ilario Luigi, a famous film producer and owner of Lui Entertainment.

The man actually appeared and now walked over to him.

"Lucio!" call the man cheerfully.

Ciro turned to the direction of the voice, while Lucio had already noticed the man coming.

"Sir Ilario, it's a coincidence that we met you here" Ciro said with a happy face. He greeted the man in turn with Lucio.

"I didn't think we'd meet here early."

"I also did not expect to be greeted first by you," Lucio said with a smile.

"How can't it? As soon as I came in, you immediately grabbed attention. The handsome man who is now the target of all women throughout Italy. The man whose name is being very popular because of his face and ability. I can't help but greet you as soon as I see you standing here."

"Haha, you could."

"By the way it looks like you guys just came?"

"Right, sir," said Ciro.

"It just so happens, then let's ride together. At once I also want to chat more with you about the movie you're going to star in."

"It's with pleasure, sir," said Lucio.

The elevator doors opened, empty inside and they immediately entered and went to the floor where others were waiting.

...*...

"Why didn't you talk to me earlier?!" hatch Analia with a riled face. The woman's mood is instantly shattered once she finds Piero, the man who became her ex-lover, appearing before her.

"I was just about to tell you," Elvera shriveled with a gloomy face. This was what she had been afraid of when Analia found out about this.

"Why didn't you explain from the beginning that he was going to play in the same movie as me? Don't you know for yourself that I hate him and don't want to ever be in one more project with him? Why would you accept a movie offer that would obviously have Piero as the other player?!" Analia started to bleed. He was disappointed half-dead with Elvera who played origin accept the offer of the film just like that even though he knew Piero also played in the same film.

"I'm sorry, but this is all out of my will. Actually, I'm not the one who accepted the offer for you to play in this film" said Elvera lirih.

"Whatchu mean? If not you, then who?"

"Bu Lune accepted this offer. You know for yourself, right? Ms. Lune has a good relationship with Mr. Ilario, besides she also really wants you to return to the big film as soon as possible. So, when he found out you were going back to the entertainment scene, he immediately accepted the offer to play the film and gave the screenplay to me just like that."

"Then why don't you try to prevent it?"

"Everything's too late. When I tried to turn down the film's offer, especially after knowing that Piero was in it, Ms. Lune said that her contract had been signed and that you would not be playing in the film, then you'll have to pay the penalty as it says in the letter."

"What's? He always does it." Analia clenched her hands tightly. Lune the leader aka the CEO at the agency that houses her has always been like this.

It was not the first time the woman had signed an offer without discussing it first. His intentions were good, but sometimes this made it difficult. Because, the woman often just accept the offer without caring about the contents of her work. What matters to the woman is the money from the results she gets later.

"I can't stay silent! I need to talk to him." Analia had just pulled out her phone about to contact Lune, but suddenly her attention was distracted by the noise of the other fellow actors who had been waiting inside the room that had been provided.

"Sir Ilario has come."
