Back at the Dressing Room.
"There. Finally done." Andrea nodded approvingly, while looking down at Dane's suitcases neatly lined up at the corner.
"Good work, Andrea. By the way, where's Dane?" Adam asked her, as soon as he enters the room.
"He said he's going out for a quick smoke, right?" replied Andrea.
"But he's taking too long---!" Adam wasn't able to finish what he was about to say when he suddenly saw something...
"What's wrong, Adam?" Andrea asked him, in a curious manner.
"Andrea, can you please call Dane on his phone?" Adam suddenly asked her.
"Okay." Andrea got her own phone and dialled Dane's number.
After a few seconds, they both hear that familiar phone ringtone. And sure enough, it was Dane's phone ringing on the nearby table.
Adam picked up Jun's phone from the table.
"Just like what I thought." he angrily muttered .He also saw Dane's brand of cigarette pack on the table.
"What are we going to do now, Adam?" Andrea worriedly asked.
"We still have time time to get him back. We should find him at any cost before the meeting starts. Let's go!" Adam commanded, while stepping out from the Dressing Room.
"But where could he be now?" Andrea wondered aloud, as she follows Adam....
======================
After almost half an hour...
Dane frowned when the truck finally stopped moving. He doesn't have any idea what is going on, but he carefully opened the truck's back door, without making any sound.
He quickly jumped out from the truck and looked around...
This must be his lucky day, because he instantly saw MBN Building, which is the tallest building in the area, which where his talent agency, Star Power is currently housed in. He remembered that he's going to have a contract signing at 2:30 pm today... He looked at his wristwatch to check the time.
Lady Luck must have smiled at him today. He still has thirty minutes to make his way to the Star Office...
"Alright, Dane. Let's go!" he smilingly whispers to himself.
==================
Dane's currently walking in an area with crowded people, but no one is noticing him, thanks to his jumpsuit.
"This jumpsuit really helped me a lot. I'm almost invisible to other people!" he smirked, while walking in a carefree manner.
When he passed by at a certain electronic store, he saw himself on the television sets. It was showing his latest advertisment for a popular and expensive clothing brand...
"Look! It's Dane Levi's new TV ad!" he heard a woman gushing infront of the screens.
"He looks good in any kind of clothes..." the other girl nodded approvingly.
Dane smiled while listening to his fans as they appreciate his work.
And speaking of work, he needs to hurry a little bit so that he can be at the Star Power Office before 2:30 pm.
He suddenly got distracted when he saw a certain woman who's wearing the same clothes just like Andrea, his Personal Assistant.
"Damn it, how did he find me? I need to get to the Star Power Office before them!" he anxiously whispered to himself.
He walked faster, as he tries to maintain a low profile. However, the woman was also behind him, and he's definetely sure that it was Andrea, and she's following him...
======================
At the same time.
Venice is still walking towards her destination, but she suddenly stopped when her cellphone rang. He immediately answered the call when she saw her Boss' name on the caller screen.
"Where the hell are you? I've been waiting for ages here!"
It was her Boss, Audrey Smith, one of the famous novelist in the whole country. She's now working under her as an Assistant.
"I'm almost there, Boss." she answered nervously, as she starts to panic.
"Did you bring the script? You can forget anything, but not those papers." Audrey warns her.
"Don't worry, Boss. I have the manuscript with me."
"Then, what the hell are you waiting for?! Get here faster!"
Before Venice could speak, her Boss abruptly cuts off the call.
She lets out a deep sigh, but this is not a suitable time for her to waste any time. She has to reach the MBN building as soon as possible or else... She might lose her job.
"Okay, I'm almost there..." she encouraged herself, while looking at the map.
She was about to walk again when someone suddenly grabbed her hand!
"What the---?!" before she could finally react, a certain man pulled her to a dark place.
He saw a man looking at him, with a serious look on his face.
"Did Adam tell you to follow me, Andrea?" he heard the man's voice.
Venice frowned, when the man called her "Andrea."
."I-I'm not Andrea..." she finally spoke.
Meanwhile, Dane's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the woman in front of him. This woman has a long, curly and messy hair, which was totally different from Andrea.
The woman just stared back at him with a surprised expression on her face. Dane realized that she has a pair of expressive eyes. She also had a button-like nose and she has thin and kissable lips----
"Wait, what the hell am I thinking?" Dane reprimanded himself.
"Ah!"
Dane's train of thoughts stopped in a halt when she heard the woman's voice again.
"You're Dane Levi, right?" she suddenly asked him.
"Who else do you think I am?" he snapped back.
"I almost didn't recognize you because I thought you're a delivery man..." Venice replied.
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. You badly want to have my autograph, right? Just give me a piece of paper and a pen and let's get this over with." Dane asked, while looking irritated.
Much to his surprise, the woman started laughing hysterically. Dane just watched him, while feeling confused at the same time.
After a few seconds, Venice managed to regain his composure.
"That's one of the million reasons why I hate celebrities... Just like you." she sarcatically spat at him.
Dane felt a stinging sensation on the right side of his face. The woman just slapped him!
"You're the most conceited person I've met in my whole life! Let me do something for you yo feed your big ego...'' Venice leered at him.
Dane was so shocked by this woman's behavior, and it made him speechless...
"Hey, everyone! Dane Levi is here! In the flesh!" Venice announced at the middle of the street.
"Oh my god, it's really Dane Levi!" one woman suddenly shouted.
"Dane, please look this way!" some women shouted as well.
"Let's take a photo together!" the others joined the commotion as well.
Dane finally came back to his senses when he realized that his fans are now swarming around him, while taking pictures, and it's starting to suffocate him.
Amidst of the frenzy crowd, his eyes searched for the woman who started this disturbance.
But she's already out of sight...
