Love Contract

Chapter 367 Extra Story Working Hard (Part Two)

Victor frowned, standing still and caught up in his own head. Finally, his eyes lit up and he pulled out his phone again. "Hello? Director Hong? Yes, it's me. I heard that you're directing a new play? Of course I have time. For you, it's not a problem. All right, I'll see you tomorrow."

He hung up the phone and a maniacal grin crept across his face. 'Humph! Little Ena, you dare hang up on me. When I arrive at the studio city, I'll see what you've been up to. No hiding from me now!'

The next day, the sun shone bright and warm. The studio city buzzed with life, with the film crew of "Legend of Empress Dugu" already having turned the cameras on to shoot under the morning sun.

Once her makeup was done, Ena looked more lively and lovely, dressed in the clothes of a young woman from the nomad tribe. She was going over the script, reading her lines out loud for herself, when Director Hong suddenly spoke up through a megaphone. "Everyone, put your work aside for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Ena lifted her long dress off the ground, got to her feet and walked up to the director.

"Today, our crew will be joined by a new art director. I will not tell you who it is but you'll figure it out soon enough. Prepare well, don't embarrass us or yourselves, " Director Hong announced, seeing a car approaching from not too far off. He cast a quick glance at it and said, "Our new art director is here!"

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the car as soon as he finished speaking.

A black van pulled up and parked by the side of the road. The door opened, cutting the air with a 'whoosh'. Two slender legs stepped out, and then a torso, and then...

Ena was astonished. 'Victor? What is he doing here?'

She watched as he got out of the car leisurely, took his sunglasses off, glanced at her specifically, or perhaps it was unintentional, she could not quite tell, and walked up to Director Hong. He smiled and stretched an arm out to shake his hand. "Director Hong, it's been too long! II

"Hello Victor!" They shook hands and Director Hong patted Victor on the shoulder. "I'm so happy that you're able to join us."

"Director Hong, you've done so much for me. It's the least I could do."

They greeted each other politely and Ena, standing and watching from the side, wondered what was going on. Had Victor come to see her? 'Hee hee...' The thought of it made her giddy and she could not help giggling a little.

"This is Ena Su. Ena, I'm sure you've heard of Victor," Director Hong said, introducing the two of them. He had forgotten they were from the same company.

Victor stood in front of her and nodded, "Yes, we're actually both from AJ Group."

Ena bit her lips and said nothing, too shy to even look up. 'Oh God, what do I do? I want so badly to throw myself into his arms!'

When they began filming, Victor sat beside the director with his legs crossed and watched Ena at work.

"Scene three, 'An Encounter', take one. Action!"

In the scene, the empress, played by Ena, was not yet married and often snuck out of her home for fun on her own. On this occasion, she ran to a stream, to catch fish and play in the water. Unfortunately, she fell on her bottom and sat amidst the water flowing around her. At that moment, the emperor, pretending to be a civilian, saw what had happened and came over to help her. It was love at first sight for both of them, and the rest was history.

Victor raised his eyebrows as he looked on at Ena. Her liveliness, her irresistible cuteness and her innocence were all displayed perfectly. Her performance was outstanding. Since when was his little Ena so talented?

When they were done shooting the scene, Ena looked for Victor, eager to see his reaction. She was disappointed to not find him anywhere in sight and so slowly made her way to her van. She wanted to drink some water before looking for him again.

She walked up to the van and just as she opened the door, she felt an arm around her waist as someone hugged her tightly from behind.

"Ah!"

Ena was frightened and screamed.

"It's me! It's me!" Victor did not know whether to laugh or cry. He turned her around quickly and covered her mouth to keep her quiet. "Are you trying to call someone over?"

Ena shook her head vehemently. Victor smiled flirtatiously and let her go.

"Victor, I... Hmm..."

Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by a tender kiss. With his arms around Ena’s waist, Victor took her into the van and pressed her against the seat. He then closed the door behind him.

However, she avoided his kiss this time and pushed him off. "What are you doing? We're on the filming site! Get up!"

Victor was fighting with her long dress and said with an icy look on his face, "Where did you get this damned dress? Why is it so ugly?"

"It's not ugly at all!" Ena swatted his hand away in a hurry and scolded, "Don't tear it. I need to wear it for the next scene! Get up, Victor!"

Victor's demeanor sunk and he stared at Ena with his eyes burning as something was building inside of him. Through gritted teeth, he asked, "Do you know how long it's been since we saw each other last time?"

"Well..." Ena blinked and began doing the math with her fingers. "One, two, three..." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Victor looked at her cute face, his heart warming. "Don't you miss me?"

"I... I miss you. I miss you so much!" Ena made no secret of her longing for him.

Her soft and sweet words exploded in Victor's ears, chest, and mind, filling him with so much warm emotion it began welling up in his eyes.

"Ena? Ena, where are you? Ena?"

Suddenly, someone called for her from outside the van. It shocked Ena and sent a sting of panic running through her. She hurriedly patted Victor on the back and said anxiously, "Get up! There's someone here!"

Victor's face reddened and he broke out in a sweat. He then said hoarsely, "You go first!"

Ena's face was now a scarlet red. She mumbled to him softly, "I won't be going home tonight."

"I won't go home either," Victor said smirking cheekily. "I want to stay with the crew. To save them money, I will, reluctantly, stay in the same room as you."
