The Charm of the Director

Episode 17's

Jessy growled furiously in her room. He was so angry and upset with Dean. After last night Dean teased him, this morning he deliberately did something stupid in front of his parents. Dean kept acting like he cared about her. It looks like he loves her. That's how he realized even though he had never experienced it himself. If Dean keeps doing stupid things, what if he falls in love with her?

This morning..

Jessy is at the dinner table with Lee and Anastasia. They were talking about his childhood in Nevada.

"The foundation I live in includes a slightly unkempt foundation. But the view there is beautiful. When you get out of the house, you'll see the beautiful mountains to the west. Not far from the foundation, you can see the famous Tahoe Lake" Jessy said proudly.

"You're a native of Nevada?" ask Anastasia.

"Yes. I was found by the foundation owner nineteen years ago in the city of Carson" Jessy replied without charge.

"You've lost both your parents since you were little?" ask Lee seriously.

"I investigated when I was growing up. But I gave up because I didn't know where to find my parents" Jessy replied. "Then I thought for a long time. Both my parents, I decided I was dead."

"Oh, baby.. But you don't be sad. There's us. You're gonna be married to Dean soon. You become our family" Anastasia said. He stood up and hugged Jessy who was sitting across from him.

Jessy remained silent. Till when?

"Good morning." said Dean. It looks fresher than last night. He looked at Jessy and smiled. He remembered what happened last night. Jessy's face looks red. He couldn't bear to tease her. He approached Jessy and hugged her from behind. "Did you sleep well last night? Unfortunately I left your room. If not." he said stuck.

"If you don't, you won't be able to get up as early as you are now" Jessy replied nervously. He let go of Dean's hand quickly.

Lee raised one of his eyebrows. "I didn't expect you guys to be close that fast."

"I want to quickly marry her, dad." said Dean. Then he looked at Jessy. "A million dollars." he whispered.

Jessy glared straight at me. No one knew about the million dollar bill between them.

"A million dollars?" ask Anastasia.

"It seems I need to get inside. There's something I have to do." Jessy said quickly. He stood up and ran to the room.

The sound of the door being knocked. Jessy didn't dare to open it. He's away from the door. He saw the door slowly open. Dean's figure came in without him letting it go.

"You were scared when you saw me." he said as he approached her.

"I hated your attitude at the dinner table. I hate this drama. It all happened like the script you made." Jessy said angrily.

"You're the one who wants to. I'm just giving you a little help so that this drama can be completed properly" Dean said with a smile. "A million dollars is what you're asking for, isn't it? Why can't my parents know that? You want my parents to see only your sweetness?"

"I'd better just give up. I don't want to follow all your will. I'd better go back to Nevada and get on with my life there."

"I don't want to."

Dean stood back up. "You're so stubborn. Whatever. I asked my mother to arrange everything. Just so you know, our wedding's gonna be next week. Before our wedding, you still have to accompany me to one of the awards. Then do a party with my crew and movie actresses to celebrate Death's success." See you at the designer's house. I have to go see my friend at the office. I hope it's not too late in the afternoon" he said as he walked out.

"Did we dream of doing a photo shoot with that young director again?" ask Isabella.excited. Last week she and her husband were told suddenly about the star spotlight on the cover of a major New York magazine. They have just finished their work in Dubai. At first her husband refused because he was afraid of being tired. But because of the Dean Justin Lee they were going to, Isabella was excited.

Isabella and Jonas just landed at the airport after a fourteen-hour flight. He did not feel tired one bit. "Do we have to congratulate Dean? Can we meet his future wife? It seems like the media is currently covering his future wife's face. Too bad, I can't see it." Isabella said back. Being so enthusiastic, he continued to talk. For ten years they have never stayed in one place. Everything because every day, news about the world's actresses has stolen the attention of the world's people.

Jonas clasped Isabella's hand tightly. "I hope our decision to step back from this entertainment world is right. I'mtired. So do you. We never stay in one place for a long time. I think Dean's shoot to be the last is something we should be proud of. Who doesn't know a Dean?"

Isabella smiles. "Yes, let's do our best."

"Greece?"ask Dean back.

"Yes, Greece is now in the spotlight. The script I've made has been adjusted." explained Jeremy.

Dean saw the phone."Greece.." he said slowly. Then he saw a picture of the country. "All right, let's try. Oh yeah, can you change the romantic scenes in the script you made? Last night I read it and something bothered me a little."

Jeremy laughed so much that the entire officer looked at him. "You want to erase that romantic scene in the movie? C'mon Dean, that scene is only five percent of the entire story. Why do you always reject it?"

"You know for yourself if I don't like it." Dean said firmly.

"Hello, this is an action movie. The romantic scenes in this movie are only five percent. You're too far-fetched. I heard you're getting married? Can't you just be romantic with your partner?" jeered Jeremy.

"That's different.." elak Dean.

Jeremy breathed. "Dean, listen to me. Romantic scenes I made to attract female audiences. You can't make a movie just for all the male audiences, right?"

"I agree. Dean was far-fetched." said Harris, who was behind him.

Dean looked. "Don't interfere.."

"I just wanted to tell you. The photographer and his assistant were waiting at the office. You want to meet them?" ask Harris.

"What way?"dean asked confused.

"I told you last week. You're on the cover of New York magazine next month" Harris said.

"I don't remember" Dean said as he stood up. He looked at his watch. Wedding dress fittings still have four hours. He thinks enough. He walked out to continue his work. Death films have taken away his busy life. If an upcoming movie like this comes back, it has to be ready. He will only focus on the film he will make later. What's he doing it for? Of course to beat his father's success first.
