The Charm of the Director

Episode 11

"Armghh!" jessy shouted from her room. It had been one week that he could not get out of his mini apartment because the news about him and the man came out very quickly. His stomach was hungry while the food supply in his apartment had run out.

He looked out the window of his room. The paparazzi was still faithfully waiting for him in some corner that was reached by his sight. Since that night, he never went out of his room. Smith's grandmother always gave him food. He knows what has happened. But Jessy couldn't possibly keep asking Smith's grandmother for food, right?

He walked to get his bag. Then he opened his wallet. The two hundred thousand dollar check is still there and he has not diluted it. He hated anyone who had ruined his freedom. Never once did he see the man give a statement in the media regarding his scandal. He remembers when Dean introduced him as a fiancee to the media at the time. If he remembered, he was angry and upset. He hated that guy so much.

He looked back at the check. He thought of something. He could go find a place far from New York City. You can live in Las Vegas or Louisiana. For a long time he wanted to go to those two areas. He can go undercover to get out of this town and stay there for a while.

Suddenly the phone surprised him. Mrs. Patty seemed to be contacting him. He imagined how Mrs. Patty's gonna be lecturing on her because she hasn't come to work for a week. He tried to lift it while closing his eyes.

"How is Patty.." Jessy replied scared.

"I'm waiting for an explanation and an apology from you!" exclaim Mrs. Patties.

Jessy chuckles. "I'm sorry Patty.. You know how hard I've been this week."

"Don't be arrogant. Finish all your business here first! After that, you don't have to go back to OneLaundry" Mrs said. Patty's mad. He hung up the phone quickly.

Jessy breathed. Because of that man, he lost his job. What else to do? He realized that his stomach was sounding again. He's so hungry. He ran to get his hat and mask. Her makeup is now like a celebrity being chased by paparazzi. He doesn't care. He starved. He has to find food.

"One.. two.. three.. !!" jessy said as she ran as fast as she could. He lowered his face so that those people would not notice.

...***...

"Come home?" joan asked Dean's older sister, who now lives in Paris.

Dean had been in Paris for a week to talk about his latest job. He was cleaning his clothes. "Much business.I have to get out of here. If it wasn't for this job, I wouldn't have gone hundreds of miles just to meet that crazy producer!" depress Dean.

"Is it because of that woman?" ask Joan.

Dean let go of his hand that was folding clothes. "Which woman? You still believe in my scandal?"

"I'm not talking about Cindy. I know your case with Cindy from Harris. That video I saw. You're really handsome, Dean. If I wasn't your brother, I would have chased you. I'm talking about that woman with blond hair. Looks like you lost your concentration because of that woman. How old is he?" joan Goda.

"You're just gonna give up?" ask Joan.

Dean looked at Joan quickly. "There's no giving up word for a Dean Justin Lee.. I'll make a calculation with him because he hates me. A Dean who is being chased by any woman must accept hatred from the girl he brings to a prestigious event. I won't stay silent."

Joan sat on the couch with her hands on her. "I've never seen my sister like this before. Are you in love with your Jessy?"

"I don't know." replied Dean.

"Your introduction is only one day, isn't it? What is first sight? What kind of girl do you think Jessy is?"

Dean smiles. "Jessy is a girl with big eyes. Her nose is perfect, if you look into her eyes, you'll be fascinated by her hazel eyes. Not only that, Jessy has ideal body proportions" she said, picturing Jessy when she last met. "Jessy was created to bring a man like me to his knees."

Joan smiles. "Then why are you keeping quiet seeing Jessy's privacy compromised because of yesterday's show?"

"I did it intentionally. I have a plan. The more he hates me, the more he pursues me." Dean replied as he stood up. He finished putting his clothes in his bag. "I have to get back to New York. I want to make a calculation with that girl."

"Have you told papa?" ask Joan back.

"About Jessy? Of course not. Soon I'll say it when they get back from Caribia."

Joan smiles. He was happy to see his sister happy. He was quite surprised when he heard the news. Yeah, the whole world is talking about it. Especially when he came to the show with a partner he had never seen before.

"Be careful, Dean!" shout Joan.

But now he believes Dean's happiness is Joan's happiness. Dean never felt the affection of a mother as a child. Although his father remarried, his new wife could not replace his dead mother. Joan's attention has always been on Dean. Not without reason, he did it because he loved Dean. They were born with an age of 8 years. At that time her mother forced her to give birth to Dean when her mother was sick. He can understand everything. He waved his hand at Dean.

Dean waved his hand back before finally getting into the car he had ordered earlier.

Jessy, I'm gonna chase you anywhere! Wait me. I'll make the calculations with you.
