Chapter 8 Jirah's Efforts Towards The Actor

"How could you be so naughty, hah?"
While he pointed his finger to the assistant.
"What's wrong with me boss?" she asked with no idea why her boss got mad at her.
Later, Mangxie came along as he heard a loud yell from the actor.
"Boss, I'll talk to her first," Mangxie whispered to the woman to come for a talk.
The boss got so irritated that made him go outside the office to calm himself on the rooftop.
As the two remained in the room, they communicated wholeheartedly and listened to each other's advice.
"Jirah, I think you have no idea why our boss annoyed you. Listen, as I had told you yesterday, you must do your job nicely and please set aside your issues with him, it doesn't help your job. If you want this job, try to hold on and just do your duty."
"But I'm trying..." Jirah insisted.
"Look, I know your deep understanding about him was, he's reciprocal when it comes to real life and on tv, but now, I will tell you the reasons behind his unusual attitudes for all these years in his popularity."
A lot of guesses she made up in her mind while paying attention to the gay.
"Jirah, listen carefully to me. Your boss came from a wealthy family, but he had issues with his father. During childhood until recent times, his father kept on arguing with him when it came to his career."
"Why?" she asked.
"Because to work in the entertainment industry is a big dream for Terrence, disregarding his father's expectations of him. You know that, after all these years, the actor kept on fighting over his career, that's why as you can see, he is a cold-hearted man because he didn't want to engage women. He didn't like to be close to you as well."
Jirah took a deep breath after she clearly heard the whole thing covered the actor's history. She even imagined what's happening in their reunion, that Terrence questioned about his childhood days including his rebellion at the age of ten. It's so similar to her experience with a close friend a long time ago.
After a while, she came up with the idea of rendering an effort to the boss. She thought of preparing all things well, and cheering the actor every day.
Until one day, she woke up at 5:30 early in the morning. She cooked breakfast and prepared lunch boxes good for two. A call from a friend disturbed her for a while.
"Totooot, toot," the sound of her ringtone.
She looked upon who's calling and answered smoothly.
"Yes Gwen, what's up?"
Her best friend is on the line.
"Jirah dear, you have been so busy in the previous days without telling me what's going on. Could you explain to me where and how your business is these days?"
"Ahm...I'm cool. I mean, I'm busy with my work." Then she smiled while locking lunch boxes.
"What? W-what kind of work is that, Jirah? Why did you not inform me?" with mad on her face while Jirah continued smiling on the other line.
"Just..." Upon looking at the clock on the wall, she pulled her words saying, "Bye Gwen, it's time to take a bath.Bye-bye."
Then she quickly dropped her phone and ran towards the bathroom with her bathrobe and towel carried on her shoulder.
Gwen, on the other line, continued speaking without knowing the call had ended. As she noticed it, she was annoyed with her friend on the phone.
One hour later, Jirah arrived at the convention center, where the promotion of brands of the actor was held. Mangxie greeted her with a smile on his lips. The gay man also noticed the lunchboxes she was carrying, even though he knew it was for Terrence, he just ignored them and they continued to go to the dressing room where the actor was.
She approached the actor with a shame on her face and placed the lunchbox on his desk at once saying, "Ahm ... sir."
The actor glanced at the object and said,
"What's that?" And looked back at the cellphone he was holding.
"For you. Eat that all for lunchtime," she said softly.
The actor's lips just grinned as if he didn't like the kindness shown by the girl. Jirah made an effort to support the actor with his belongings at the convention. When she noticed the man was thirsty, she quickly took some extra water and gave it to him.
When she also saw the actor sweating, even the man didn't tell her to wipe it, and even though he didn't want to, the assistant insisted until he just let her do it.
At the end of the day, as she was arranging the actor's belongings, she noticed that the man was rushing out of the convention hall. She chased after him and when she reached him, she left a word.
"Ahm, boss..." The man turned her head to the girl. "Take care," the assistant added with a sense of sincerity.
Her boss didn't say a word, instead he just stared at her and continued walking. She tailed again, and when the man felt irritated by her, he finally spoke back.
"What's wrong Jirah? You've been shadowing me. Did you know that you're annoying!" his angry language.
"Why? What's wrong with me, boss?", She replied with a gnarled face.
"Tsk, I can't be carried away by your corny moves like that."

The actor later picked up a lunchbox from his bag.
"Oh here," once handed to her. "Eat it," he added.
She just accepted the lunchbox provided while the actor finally got into the car.
Then she opened it and looked at its contents. The smell of rotten food wafted through to her. She remembered, that was the food she prepared for the actor but it wasn't reduced at all.
As the actor laid on the bed and browsed through his photos in a gallery, he suddenly imagined his childhood best friend who was identical when she moved in with his assistant.
He even reminisced during the game that the woman perfectly answered his questions related to his history. Another basis he put in mind was the way she brought food, the way she gave water when he was at an event held in the convention hall, and the way she wiped away his sweat, all of that, it's almost the same in a gesture to a friend.
Until he asked these words.
“How is Jirah connected to my life? How could she look familiar to me when she smiles and when she moves? It's impossible...It's impossible."
Then he jotted down all of those experiences the whole day, to his diary and when finished, he laid back and slept well.
The next day, Jirah still woke up early and did the usual work before going to work. Prepared lunch boxes, cleaned the house, took a shower, and before leaving the house, ate breakfast first.
When she reached the shooting area, she went straight to the actor's tent and left the lunchbox on its table. She said to herself,
"I'm hoping that he will eat this food I prepared for him." And she went out immediately.
The assistant oversaw the entire taping of the actor along with the entire movie team.
In the middle of the session, the cord behind the actor suddenly loosened and Jirah noticed that.
"Oh..." Jirah looked up the cord at his back that was about to break. "Idol boss is in danger."
