Siren sadly walks out from the Audition Room... This has been her 8Oth audition, but she doesn't have any luck to be chosen for any roles. She has been doing her best in every auditions, but she's still unlucky. "Siren! How did it go?" Siren looked up, and she saw her Manager. Miss Rosie has been her manager eversince she started trying her luck in the showbiz industry... "I didn't get it, Miss Rosie." Siren responded, while looking disappointed. "That’s okay, dear. Remember, when a door closes, a window will open." her Manager tried to encourage her. "Yes, Miss Rosie. This is not the end. We'll keep on going!" Siren added, as she tried her best to think positive. “That's the spirit! By the way, you'll have another audition next week. It's for an International project, and you have exactly one week to prepare..." Miss Rosie happily announced. “Oh, that's good news! And don't worry, I will absolutely prepare for my audition next week. I will give my 100% percent best!" Siren energetically said, as she was getting all excited again. Siren and her Manager smilingly walked out from the building, as they are hoping that she'll get lucky on her next audition... ==================== Tokyo, Japan. Kai is busy swimming at the Olympic-sized pool which is one of the amenities provides in his condominium building... He just finished shooting his latest film which will be released next year. And now that he has no other commitments in the next few days, he can relax and do whatever he wants. Kai decided to take a break from his swim and go back to his condo unit to take a nap. He was already getting out from the pool when he suddenly saw a hand, holding a big towel. It was none other than his Manager and bestfriend, which is Shun Sato. "What are you doing here, Shun?" Kai instantly asked him, while drying his hair and body with a towel. "I just came here to show you this." Shun answered, in a serious manner. He gave Kai a newspaper. Kai immediately read the headline, and he saw a photo of him and her co-star from the movie, Reika. They were both sharing an umbrella, and many people will think that they are in a romantic relationship just by looking at this picture.. saw what Shun wanted to show him. He then read the caption that was printed in big, bold letters... "Are Shun and Reika secretly dating?" Kai gave the newspaper back to his Manager while shaking his head in irritation. “This is all bullshit, Shun. It's not what you think it is. It just so happened that Reika's car broke down and I helped her get a taxi." he explained, in a matter-of-factly tone. Shun sighed after hearing Kai's answer. "Look, it's not bad to help others, but I hope you can be more vigilant. You're always involved with scandals which are all linked to different women. It really puzzles me on why every actresses you work with always ends up falling inlove with you." Shun said in return, while looking puzzled. Kai has been having the same problem eversince he became an actor. He’s been in the showbiz industry for six years now... He entered the world of showbizness by accident, and it's all because of his mother. His mother is a Filipina model and she became an International model in Japan. At the height of her career, she met his father, who is a successful Japanese businessman… Kai was 26 years old when he decided to work for his father’s company after finishing his Master’s Degree. He thought that he'll be working in the company for the rest of his life, but fate had other plans for him... One day, he promised a dinner date with his mother. He picked her up at a photoshoot. Her mother owns a Couture Shop and they were busy doung photoshoots for her latest Collection. One of the male models wasn't able to arrive at the shoot, so her mother ordered him to become a substitute model, in which he obliged. He thought it would all end there but what he didn't know, his mother sent his photo to the President of a Talent Agency, and the rest is history… "---To tell you honestly, I don't care about the scandals, as long as I'm doing my job well." Kai lazily stated. Shun helpless drew out a deep breath. “Anyway, we'll issue an official statement from the Talent Agency, and will deny your romantic relationship with Reika. You should get realy as well. You have a meeting with our CEO about a new TV project." Shun informed him. "Do you have any idea what kind of project it is?" Kai curiously asked Shun. "No idea. Let's just hear it straight from the CEO's mouth." Shun shrugged in return. "Alright, just give me half an hour to get ready." Kai nodded, as he started walking out. Shun followed behind him. ====================== Kai and Shun are currently having a meeting with the CEO of Star Power, which is Kai's Talent Agency. They are discussing his upcoming TV project... “You’re kidding me, right Boss?” Kai unbelievably asked CEO Ken Sasaki. "Do I look like I'm kidding? I’m serious, Kai. And I'm really excited about this new TV show of yours.” Sasaki-san replied, while smiling. “You want me to get married to someone I don’t even know on National TV?” Kai sarcastically shot back. "Just relax, okay? Yes, you will get married on National TV but everyone will know that it’s just a make-believe kind of wedding. This is a reality show which focuses on interracial marriages." the old CEO tries to persuade him. "I don't think this is a good idea, Boss." Kai's still not convinced. “Kai, don’t worry. This would only last for two months. Time flies so fast, and the next thing you know, it's already over!" the CEO insisted. "Can I decline this project, Boss?" Kai asked again. "Think about this... You've been linked to many scandals with different women, and it affects your image and reputation. Now, if you’re going to do this reality show, you can show everyone that you can be a faithful husband to the woman you love. Your fans might change their might about you, and they will think of you in a positive light." Sasaki-san explained again. Come to think of it, Kai's been really tired of being called as a playboy. If this reality show can change his image, there's no hurt in trying it... Kai turned his attention back to the CEO. "Okay, I'll do it." he finally decided. “Good! You’ve made the right decision, Kai. Now, it’s time for us to find your Cinderella… Your future wife. ” the old man said, while grinning from ear to ear. "Future wife, huh?" Kai wondered to himself...
