บท 21: Envying And Hating Her Already

Rosalina was getting uncomfortable, so Gu Won stood up and walked to her. He held her by her hand gently, saying;

''Grandma, we'll be right back." Gu Won said and walked out of the living room and up the stairs.

"What's going on?" Rosalina frowned and said as soon as Gu Won took her to his room.

"Grandma found out the kids were here and drove here very early." Gu Won said and smirked.

"So, what? Why did you tell her, 'I'm the one who you want and your wife?" Rosalina frowned as she asked.

"I just said that because I don't want to marry," Gu Won said while Rosalina scoffed.

"You can't just say things that are not even real." She said and looked away.

Gu Won chuckled and smirked.

"Well, I have something to say to you," Rosalina said, looking down at her fingers.

"Oh, tell me." Gu Won said.

"Uhh, I thought about what you said last night, about staying with the kids. I'll stay but under certain conditions." Rosalina said and looked up at Gu Won to see his reaction.

Gu Won was surprised but happy she would stay;

"Okay, tell me what are your conditions?" He said.

Rosalina smiled and stared at her situation, which was nothing to Gu Won. He smiled and nodded his head.

"It's a good deal. I do have a wish or perhaps a favor to ask you," Gu Won said causing Rosalina to furrow her brows, asking "What?"

" Can you pretend to be in a serious relationship with me when with or around my family?" Gu Won asked.

Rosalina looked up and asked, "Why"

"I do not want them to know that we have no relationship and yet we bear each other's children." Gu Won said, which made a lot of sense. He didn't want his family to hate Rosalina or pressure him to marry another woman to look after the children because they have no real relationship between them, which Rosalina also had a point about.

Who would believe if she told anyone that she had a one-night stand with an unknown man by accident? People will think and describe her as a slut. But it was all because of her indignation, forgetting drunk and ending up with Gu Won in his hotel room, who was also half drunk and saw a lady who barged into this room and forced herself on him, which led him to have a one-night stand with her.

"Okay, fine. That's a deal." Rosalina agreed.

Gu Won smiled as they shook hands together.

"Uhh, do you need help moving your things here?" Gu Won asked.

"No, I will do them myself," Rosalina said smiling.

"If you need any assistance, please let me know." Gu Won said nicely.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu Won," Rosalina said and turned to walk away, but Gu Won's voice interrupted her.

"You don't have to be formal, we may not have a serious relationship between us, but I'm also the father of our children, don't you think that's strange and uncomfortable?" Gu Won said.

"When nobody is around us, I'll call you that," Rosalina said and left his room.

She walked to her room, picked up her phone, called her manager, and talked to her before returning to her living room.

She walked to the living room and walked closer to Old Madam Lee;

"Grandma, I will be right back, but I don't know if you'll still be here when I get back," Rosalina said politely and smiled at her.

"You may not meet me because I will leave soon, but you and Gu Won should come to visit to see the other family members, with the children." Old Madam Lee said.

"Okay, Grandma," Rosalina said.

She left the living room and walked out of the villa.

As she walked out of the house, a man in a suit walked up to her.

"Hello Miss, I was asked by my boss to drive you to wherever you are going, please, this way." The man in the suit bowed and said. He led the way to the car, not waiting for her to say anything.

it's not bad if he takes me to my house, because I need to find something before going to the production company." She thought and followed the chauffeur and hopped in the car.

The chauffeur started the engine and sped out of the villa to the address Rosalina had told him.

—————

"You can drive back, thank you." Rosalina said to the chauffeur as she was dropped off at her house.

"Okay, Ma'am." The chauffeur said that Rosalina took the elevator to her room walked in, and picked up whatever she needed to get before exiting the house, taking the elevator to exit and walking to the car park where assistant Hana was waiting for her.

"Hello, Ms. Rose." Hana, the assistant, said and smiled at her.

"Hi, assistant Hana, so what are we going to do as we're going to the production company today since I accepted to play the female lead role?" Rosalina asked and hopped into the car, while assistant Hana jumped into the driver seat.

"You should practice your role, and you should meet some people from the cast, the actors and actresses who are involved in the drama, especially the male lead, so you will get along to work together also to know the actor you're going to play with." Assistant Hana explained briefly what the day's schedule was like.

"Oh, okay," Rosalina said. Her assistant ignited the engine and drove to the production company.

They got there, Rosalina stepped out of the car and walked into the company with her assistant, who followed her behind.

Meeting everyone, the Director, producer, and others with the male lead and supporting female actress.

"Hello Ms Yoona. It's great to see you here. Please, take your seat." The director said and welcomed Rosalina with a smile.

Rosalina smiled and walked to her seat as she bowed, greeting all who were sitting politely and taking her seat.

"Oh, how we're all here, this is Ms. Rosalina, whom we chose to play the female lead role, please be kind to her as we all work together." The director introduced Rosalina, who smiled as everyone clapped, except for a young beautiful lady who sneered and rolled her eyes.

"Oh, this is Ms. Rosalina, or can I say Yoona, right?" The lady smiled, as she said.

"You can call me any of the names Yoona or Rosalina, they're my names," Rosalina said softly, sounding like an angel, and she smiled at her.

The male lead, who was sitting opposite, could not resist staring at her beautiful face, and he was stunned to hear what the feminine voice sounded like.

"This is Ms. Selena, one of the most popular actresses, and she is the supporting actress in our latest film. So, be kind to each other, and let's work together to achieve the best results that exceed our audience's hopes." The director said smiling.

Rosalina smiled and turned to Selena;

"Hello Ms.Selena, it's great to meet you and be a part of the story, I'm happy to work with you all and I hope we all have a good time I've enjoyed a lot of your drama, which I must say you're a gifted and beautiful actress," Rosalina said sweetly, which also made everyone clap for her.

Selena was so proud of herself hearing that from Rosalina as she praised her when. She was smug and tucked her hair to her ear.

"It's great you know that I was surprised that I wasn't chosen for the female lead role, which made me wonder and curious to know who you are and you made the role yours. I heard you're just a model and this will be your first filming session, are you confident that you'll do well in the female lead role?" Selena said and smirked, as she is already hating Rosalina and envying her not only for her pretty face, but, also for her beautiful body shape, but she hated her more for taking the female lead role, which she deemed to be hers based on her feelings.

Rosalina studied Selena's expression and realized how much she already hated her.

Rosalina smiled softly and said, ''I'll try my best, and then you'll see if I'm up for the role or not." She said it with a meaningful smile.

"Let me say you're not confident enough about this, and I hope I don't regret being a supporting actress for a female lead who isn't confident and good enough. Selena retorted, saying that. Everyone else around them could only watch their faces.

"I understand what you're talking about, Ms. Selena, but we've chosen her not only because of her pretty face or figure but also because she's a fun lady to work with, i never thought she'd be so good at acting until she showed us her great act yesterday, don't worry she's good and strong." Director Mun Hee butted in their conversation and said to discourage the two ladies from erupting into a fight.
