Capítulo 40: Extensions
Sherry bit her lips nervously as she looked at Marcel who seemed to still be in shock about what happened. The more he did not react the redder her face became, she knew it was not a good idea but the director told her that the element of surprise would make his reaction more realistic. She just didn't think he would be this surprised okay?
Actually Marcel was truly surprised, not too much by the kiss but by the fact that Sherry had actually managed to pull it off. He had actually lowered his guard against her.
<Avian, women are truly different> Marcel said as he got up from the floor.
[You seem to have forgotten that you are a woman as well] Avian said and Marcel could almost see him roll his eyes at him.
He smiled at Avian's response but the one who saw the smile was Sherry who breathed a sigh of relief as she had thought that Marcel was angry at her. She went forward and took Marcel's forearm in her hands to draw his attention towards her.
"This, I-" Sherry started but did not know how to explain herself.
"I didn't think you'd have the courage to do something like this" Marcel said with an amused smile.
"They asked me to do it," Sherry said as she pointed at the director's direction, immediately betraying the staff and her manager who were standing in the same area. Marcel laughed lightly and used his other hand to pat her head.
"Don't think about it too much" Marcel said in comfort even though he was the one that was wronged.
Sherry did not want to blame herself so she glared at everyone else who coerced her into doing it in the first place. Her manager could already feel sweat drip down his back, how did they become the bad guys?
"But you'll have to take responsibility, that was my first kiss you know?" Marcel whispered so that only she could hear him and walked away leaving Sherry stunned into silence. What responsibility did he want her to take? She had never kissed anyone before either. If she had she wouldn't be so nervous okay?
Marcel went to the makeup station to have his makeup removed and he smiled when he saw Sherry through the reflection of the mirror, she had been opening and closing her mouth repeatedly for quite some time now so she looked quite funny.
Marcel took out his phone and checked the time and saw that he still had about an hour until Liam got out of school. He wanted to leave in thirty minutes so he was not feeling too impatient as he still had time left. After he got his makeup removed, stylist called him over to the other room and asked him to change back into his clothes.
She did not linger because she had found out earlier that he was quite shy so she left him in the room to give him his privacy. Marcel quickly changed back into his low-key clothes and went back into the studio.
He had about ten minutes remaining because for some reason it took longer than usual to get his makeup removed. It was like Anne was taking extra care not to leave any residue makeup, she was also being too gentle with his face as if she was afraid she was going to damage his skin.
He still needed to get the extensions in his hair removed so he couldn't just leave. He walked back into the dance studio and saw that they were working on Sherry and that the other members were with her.
It looked like they had a schedule as they were all dressed prettily. Marcel walked to the hairstylist's station and sat there even though she was not there yet.
"Where is the hairstylist?" Marcel asked Sherry who was getting her makeup removed. When their eyes met Sherry's face immediately turned red and she bit her lip.
"I'm not sure" Sherry answered honestly, unfortunately, her reaction did not escape the other girls and all three of them looked at Marcel curiously. Marcel did not pay them any mind and looked at Anne who was removing Sherry's makeup in question.
"She went to get some coffee, she should be on her way back," Anne said. Marcel looked at the time on his phone with a bit of impatience.
"If you're in a hurry you can go ahead, there's going to be a shoot tomorrow so she can remove the extensions tomorrow," Anne said when she noticed that it looked like Marcel was pressed for time.
"How will I wash my hair?" Marcel asked as he untied his hair and it fell around his face. He combed his fingers through his hair and felt the extensions that were hidden in his hair.
Since they were clipped on it was not difficult for him to get them removed. He was a bit slow with it because even when he used to be a woman, she had always gotten her hair done for her. After a few minutes, Sheena got frustrated from watching him trying to remove the extensions and went to stand behind him.
"I'll help, it's too frustrating to watch," she said and slapped his hands away from his head.
"Thank you, you're a lifesaver," Marcel said and gave her a sweet smile through the mirror. Sheena quickly looked away while nodding and continued to remove the extensions.
Marcel went to the contact list on his phone and dialled Damien's number. The phone rang for quite some time and just when he was about to give up and cut the call Damien picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Damien's deep voice sounded from the other side. Marcel paused for a second before he answered.
"Hello, Mr. Matteo," Marcel said.
"What is it Marcel?" Damien said and Marcel could hear the sound of papers shuffling from the other side.
"Are you busy?" Marcel asked and Damien paused.
"I'm about to head out, what is it?" Damien asked curiously. He was actually done with work and wanted to go home.
"Ah, I just wanted to ask for the address for the apartment since I'll be moving there today," Marcel said and there was silence.
"Mmh, are you going right now? Have you finished filming?" Damien asked.
"Yes, I've finished. I'm just going to pick up my little brother then take our luggage there" Marcel explained.
"Come to my office once you're done," Damien said and hung up without waiting for a response. Marcel looked at his phone with a strange expression.
<Why do I have to go? Couldn't he just send me the address?> Marcel asked Avian.
[I don't know] Avian answered.
<Can you check on him?> Marcel asked when he didn't hear a response he knew Avian was checking on what was going on with Damien.
"It's all done," Sheena said interrupting his thoughts.
"Thank you so much, I appreciate it," Marcel said and stood up and combed his hair with his fingers as he tried to keep it in order.
"No problem," Sheena said and went to stand next to Elise and pinched her arm. She was feeling embarrassed for some reason. Elise frowned and glared at her making her stop her illogical actions.
"I'll see you girls next time, Sherry, I'll see you tomorrow," Marcel said with a smile before he left. He said goodbye to the staff on his way out and before they knew it he had disappeared. His absence was felt by everyone.
"Is this because he is good looking or is it because he has a large presence?" Rain asked Ben and Ben only frowned in response.
