Ciro stopped his car engine right in the empty parking lot area there. As soon as the car stopped, Ciro got out of there along with Lucio.
"Grazie per il tuo duro lavoro per portarmi qui. Yes, anche se siamo arrivati un po' tardi," said Lucio as soon as he arrived outside and stood next to Ciro who had just finished checking his car.
(Grazie per il tuo duro lavoro per portarmi qui. Yes, anche se siamo arrivati un po' tardi,/Thank you for your hard work to get me here. Yeah, even if we're a little late, )
"A causa in chi pension che siamo arrivati tardi?" Ciro looked at him annoyed. Lucio only smiled clumsily at him while scratching his nape.
(A causa in chi pension che siamo arrivati tardi?/ Who do you think we're because we're late?)
"Here you go, let's go in! I'm sure other artists must have arrived since. But at least I hope Mr. Ilario hasn't arrived. It could ruin your reputation if he arrives and we arrive" Ciro steps in with Lucio beside him. The two of them then entered the building in front of him, about to attend a meeting with other players who will also play in the film that will star.
Arriving at the lobby, Ciro immediately leads Lucio to the elevator. He already knew where to meet the other players.
"Do you know what floor we're meeting on?" Lucio asked glanced at Ciro beside him.
"of course. Because I've met him myself, and after the last meeting with him, Mr. Ilario asked me to come to the same floor for a meeting between players and crew including the director," obviously Ciro who is now standing next to him in front of the elevator door.
"Is that so?"
"Yes" said Ciro who then pressed the button there. They now have to wait for a while until the elevator that will be on their ride is open.

"By the way, other than Giorgia and Sienna, who else is in this movie?" Analia asked when they were in the elevator.
"You're going to be acting against newcomer actor Lucio Marcherano, and.." Elvera hung up her words for a moment, she seemed hesitant to mention it. Analia who heard Elvera stopped and turned to look at the woman who was now standing next to her.
"And…?" He asked while looking at her confusedly.
"D-and.." Elvera still seemed hesitant.
"Why don't you talk? Who else is it?" Analia asked who could not get an answer.
"I'm afraid that you'll get angry when you find out who the antagonist is" Elvera muttered, causing Analia to raise her eyebrows in confusion.
"uh? Why should I be angry? Is the person chosen to be the antagonist is the person I know?"
"Yes," Elvera nodded slowly.
"Who?"
"Ng.. that…"
Elvera did not have time to answer, the elevator door that opened had already caught the attention of Analia.
"Indeed sia—"
"Yes!" A man's voice was suddenly heard calling out his name. Analia who had just arrived on the floor then turned to the direction of the sound. He was so surprised to find the familiar man in his memory standing there smiling at him.
Analia came out of the elevator with Elvera beside her. Elvera now looks clumsy to deal with Analia, especially the artist who paid her has now met directly with the man who initially refused to mention her name.
The man walked over to Analia with a face that looked so happy. He stopped in front of Analia.
"Hi, how are you? Long time no see," the heavy voice still sounded the same in the ear of Analia.
Analia was silent for a moment, fixed in her place while looking at the man barely blinking. He really did not expect to meet and talk again with the man who was now standing in front of him.
Analia's facial features instantly turned upset, she glared at the man. With a ketus he said "why are you here?"
Analia folded her hands in front of her chest, staring unfriendlylyly at the man before her. The man who used to be his lover, but he asked for a break up by force after the man was about to do things that were beyond his natural limits.
Piero Ranviggo, one of the famous actors known for his talent in playing several antagonistic characters in several famous films. Had several times become the protagonist as well, and had played together with Analia in a film became a couple of protagonists who then the closeness ended with a real relationship. Analia and Piero are dating after they get caught up in a love location in one of their starring films a few years ago. And the film that starred them to get many awards in the award event and they were also crowned as the most romantic celebrity couple several times.
But a few years into a relationship with him, suddenly Analia asked to break up after Piero almost did something he never imagined before. Their relationship broke up had made the public nervous, because Analia asked to break up suddenly without anyone knowing the cause. Yes, indeed no one knows other than himself, Piero, and Elvera which from the beginning did witness how their relationship went.
Piero has a handsome face, a sweet smile, charming eyes, a tall body with a proportional shape, and is famous for his romance. But who would have thought if behind all that turned out to be shrouded in its original figure which is very far from what is known by people.
"Oh come on, do you not know or do not pretend to know, I also play in this film," said the man, smiling. Analia who heard it was shocked instead of playing, she really could not believe what she had heard just now.
"W-what did you say?" Analia was wide-eyed not playing when she heard the sentence that had just been thrown from the man's mouth.
"Seeing from your facial expression, it seems that Elvera did not speak anything about me participating in this film," Piero glanced at Elvera who seemed to be jolted at his words. His face turned deathly pale, and his guts were completely shrunken now.
Analia turned to the woman who was her manager. Staring at Elvera, asking for an explanation from her.
"That's. i-it's. I can explain," Elvera said stammeringly.
"Do you see, you have arrived?" A woman said that their focus turned to her who had just arrived with several other artists who seemed to be starring in the film they were about to play.
"Giorgia?"
"Hi An! Long time no see, how are you?" Ask the woman he called Giorgia.
