“Can just anyone be an actress now? How can you randomly ask a maid to be actress?” – My master asks with an irritated face.

That is exactly what I want to ask but the way he speaks it out is really annoying. Is it because I am a maid so I can’t be an actress? It is true that I don’t like to be an actress but I can do anything that I want. I am capable of a lot of things that he doesn’t even know of. Why does he always have to piss me off? Is it just his personality or he just likes to irritate me in general? He is not good at acting neither. Comparing to my prince, he is in much lower acting level. If it’s not because he is a famous singer, I don’t think any one likes to invite him to a drama.    

“She definitely can be a better actor than you.” – CEO Baek says, glazes irritated at my master.

I don’t know why CEO Baek said that but I am happy. Serve you right, master. Someone has to tell things like that on his face once in a while so he can wake up from his illusion world.

But still, I am very curious the reason they want me to be an actress.

“Why should I be an actress, CEO Baek?” – I ask.

“Well, Ji Soo told me that you acted a small scene with Jae Joong last night. I made a phone call to the director of that drama. Luckily, he liked you two interaction last night very much so he wants you to appears in a few more scenes on the drama. If you agree to do that, we can just explain the picture from yesterday is just the practice of the drama’s scene. The director also agreed to support our statement. Now we only need you to agree to act a few more scenes.” – CEO Baek explains.

“I’m afraid it is not a good idea, CEO Baek. I don’t like acting in general.” – I politely refuse.

“I know it is a sudden request but it is the only solution we have right now. You can just appear on a few scenes and never have to do this again. You are Jae Joong’s only hope. His career can be ended if this scandal is not nicely taken care of.” – CEO Baek explains.

I sigh sharply. As much as I want to help my master, being an actress is still too much. My father will definitely get angry. Oh well, he may already get angry if he is reading the Korean newspaper right now. Plus, I really hate this noisy life. I tried so hard to avoid it in America. I really don’t want to ruin everything here.

However, when I look at my master, my heart turns weak. He may be arrogant but I know how much he loves singing. In fact, singing is the only thing he can do well. What will my useless master do if he can’t sing or act anymore? Probably nothing. I don’t even know why I am still concerning about him after all the rude behavior that he did to me yesterday. But still, I do have a weak heart.

“I will do it.” – I state after a while of thinking. I have to do it to save him. I can’t just stand there and seeing his career ending when I know I can prevent it from happening. Even if it’s not him but a stranger, I will do the same thing. It is just a right thing to do. My father always tells me to try my best to help anyone I can. I do charity since I was young. I will think of this as one of my charity work then.

My master is rather surprised hearing my response. “What?” – He raises his voice and can’t stop staring at me.

“Really?” – Ji Soo oppa and CEO Baek look at me happily.

I shrug my shoulders - “Yeah it doesn’t seem like I have any other choice.”

“You do. Just don’t accept it. You were the one stated that you didn’t like the entertainment world. Was it all just an act? You wanted to step into this world from begin with, don’t you?” – My master arrogantly asks me.

Now my blood is really bumping full speed on my head. I am about to explode. I am doing this with good intend, to save him and he had to say those harsh words? If I wanted to be in entertainment world, I could have done it in America. With my father connection, it is not hard at all for me to take a role in a Hollywood movie as my father sponsors many of them. My master would beg me for forgiveness if he knows my situation. It’s such a difficult decision but I make it for him. However, he can’t even give me a word of appreciation. Instead, he slashes the whole bowl of cold water on my face. I should let his career end then.

“Please don’t listen to him. He is out of his mind right now. Please help us this time. We really appreciate your understanding.” – CEO Baek nicely asks me.

My master, well actually he is no longer my master from this moment on, Jae Joong should be grateful that he has such a nice CEO. If it’s not because the CEO is begging, I probably am walking out of this agency and leave that crazy Jae Joong to clean his own mess.

I exhale sharply and throw an angry stare at the stupid Jae Joong. – “May be it better that I don’t help him. He doesn’t seem to need my help at all.” – I state, mocking.

“Please don’t say that. Of course he needs your help. He has never been able to clean any mess by himself.” – CEO Baek says, glazes sharply at Jae Joong.

“He is right, Ji Hyo ah. Please help Jae Joong this time or help oppa this time ok? I will be in trouble if his career ends too.” – Ji Soo oppa begs, desperate.

I can’t stand seeing Ji Soo oppa like that. Even though Jae Joong is a jerk but Ji Soo oppa is a good person. I can’t make him suffer because of the rude Jae Joong. I should do this for Ji Soo oppa at least.

“I understand oppa. I will help that arrogant guy this time.” – I nicely tell Ji Soo oppa, ignoring that rude guy sitting across from me.

“Thank you very much Ji Hyo. You are such a generous girl. We will take good care of you even in just a short time.” – Ji Soo oppa says

“Yeah, Ji Soo, why don’t you be Ji Hyo manager for the time being? It will be easier since you understand their situation.” – CEO Baek offers.

Ji Soo oppa happily nods - “I have no problem with that. Since they live together, it will make it easier for me to manage both of them at the same time.”

I know this may be not the best moment but I think I should speak it out - “Actually, I don’t want to live with Jae Joong anymore. I am quit being his maid starting today on.”

“What?” – Jae Joong stands up in surprise. – “Who did allow you to quit being my maid? I never approve your resignation.” – He frowns

Ridiculous!

Who needs his approval for resignation? I am not asking him for letting me quit. I am only telling him that I quit.

“I allow myself to stop being a maid. No one can handle an ill manner boss like you.” – I let my frustration free.

“YOU” – Jae Joong stares at me, frustrated.

I guess he has no more words to say to me too. I was so right.

“Ji Hyo ah, I know you two are not in a good term but his place is definitely better for you to live. No one knows where his house is so at least no one can disturb you at the moment. For now, I am sure that reporters are very hungry for your pictures and information. So just be patient and live there for a while. Until all of this go to silence, you can live on your own again.” – Ji Soo oppa patiently counsels  

  I sigh. Ji Soo oppa is right. I don’t really want to be tail by those reporters neither. They are such a hassle. The situation is like this, I don’t think I can do any difference then. I hope this scandal can rest soon so I can stay away from that crazy guy.

 “I understand.” – I weakly say.

“That’s great. I will get ready for a press conference. Ji Soo please helps those two to prep for the press conference. I will get going now.” – CEO Baek leaves the room before I can freak out.

WHAT? PRESS CONFERENCE?

Oh no, I don’t like it at all. It means more cameras, more reporters, and more questions. Definitely not my thing!

“Do I have to do press conference oppa?” – I ask, worry.

“Of course you do. You and Jae Joong have to declare that the incident yesterday is just a practice for your upcoming drama. It is not only good for easing the scandal but also helps to promote the drama as well.”

“But I am not really good at public speaking oppa.” – I answer, worried.

“You are not really good at anything.” – My master arrogantly states.

Of course he has to have a comment, not a good one, a rude one as he always does. He really never learns to have appropriate manner at all. He should understand that he is not in the best condition to criticize anyone right now.

“At least I am not causing trouble for anyone.” – I throw him a sharp gaze.

“Stop it Jae Joong.” – Ji Soo oppa scowls then turns to me. – “Don’t care about him, Ji Hyo. And about the conference, don’t you worry a thing. I will prep all the possible questions for you. Also, you will wear a headphone on your ears so if there is any question that you can’t answer, just be silence for a while and I will answer through the headphone for you. You only have to repeat it. Is it ok?”

It sounds very difficult. I don’t like being in front of the crowd at all. I am very easy to get nervous. But I have no choice I guess. I already involve too deep in this mess.

 I sigh – “I understand.”

I am really not looking forward for the press conference at all nor moving back to that house with that crazy guy.

I seriously hate him now.
