Master's Untamed Wife

Hyson was lost in his own world of wallowing and it took him a while to even realize that Director Jade was actually talking to him. And then it took him another minute to recall and register what she had just said.

However, his face didn't show any of his emotions even after his brain processed her words.

He glanced at her and said, "Then you can simply kick me out of the crew. It's rather early now. You'll definitely save a lot of your time and money in this way."

"Do you really think I can't throw you out of this production?" Amiah's face distorted as she narrowed her eyes at Hyson.

Hyson shook his head carelessly, "No, I definitely believe that you can throw me out."

Amiah crossed her arms over her chest as she intently looked at his face. Hyson didn't even budge under her intense gaze. Oh, please! He was the hell queen's best friend. If he could deal with that expressionless face for years, this so-called anger couldn't really faze him now.

He wasn't some small-time fry. Yes, he was an artist but he was proud of what he did.

Besides, his mother always instilled in him that he should face everyone with his head held high. Even Raelle repeatedly told him that if he ever let anyone look down on him, she'd be the first to beat him up for giving the other person a chance to walk all over him.

Amiah scoffed at his haughty look that said he wasn't gonna bow his head before her, "If I really kicked you out, trust me, no one in this industry would ever dare approach you again."

Hyson shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "If God closes a door, He can certainly open another one."

Amiah was a little surprised to see his reaction. He didn't seem to be pretending. He really didn't care whether he stayed in this production or not. As if she had no value in his eyes.

"Since you don't care about it, why don't you step down from this production on your own?"

Hyson stood up and faced her squarely, "Director Jade, if you're the one to ask me to leave, I'll leave without any issue. However, if you're waiting for me to give up just because you have a prejudice against an idol like me, then I'll have to disappoint you. I won't be leaving this crew on my own. No matter how much you push me down, I'll still crawl my way up."

Amiah looked into his clear and solemn eyes and worded out, "So, you won't mind me humiliating you but you won't give up on your own, eh? Is your self-respect so cheap?"

The small polite smile on Hyson's face vanished. And just as it did, his whole persona changed. That pure look that made people's hearts itch was nowhere to be seen. In its place now was a wicked aura that swirled within his eyes. Coupled with his handsome face, he truly looked like a handsome devil that could entice a person's soul.

For a second Director Jade had an illusion that his aura was pressing her down, suffocating her to the point that she couldn't breathe. It felt so heavy around her that she couldn't even look straight into his eyes. She was startled by this discovery.

However, when she looked up again, he had gone back to his gentle demeanor. He became the same Hyson that was known as everyone's favorite little brother. Adorable and gentle.

Amiah thought she was really mistaken and shook her head to clear her thoughts.

"My self-respect, my pride isn't cheap. However, it's not above someone's trust." He offered Amiah a harmless smile as he went on, "I joined this crew because Miss Sora had put her faith in me. I can never let a person down who put their trust in me. If it's in my hand, I'll do everything to not make that person regret having faith in me. That is why I said, I won't give up. I refuse to give up. But if you are dissatisfied with me and my acting, you can certainly replace me."

For a long while, Amiah couldn't find words to say to him. He said he was here because someone put her trust in him. Only now she realized why he never showed any dissatisfaction with however she targeted him. She felt complicated inside.

However, it wasn't enough for her to back down either.

"I do want to replace you. If it wasn't for Sora insisting on casting you, I'd have never selected someone like you." She had turned to leave after saying her piece when she heard Hyson's voice from behind.

"Can I ask you a question?" Hyson sounded really calm. As if they were just talking about the cold weather that had been tormenting them for the past week.

"What is it?" Amiah Jade sounded impatient.

"Miss Sora is your...?"

"She is my best friend. Everyone knows that already," replied Amiah.

Hyson nodded his head, "Then it's really a pity."

"What do you mean?" retorted Amiah seeing his expression.

"You having no faith in me is a given. We don't know each other. It's alright for you to be uncertain about an idol like me who has no prior acting experience." He took a pause and added, "But isn't it a pity that you have no faith in your best friend's vision?" Amiah's eyes widened at his words. "It's your best friend's belief in me that made me stand here before you. However, you as her best friend have no belief in her. I really pity such a friendship."

He didn't stick around to wait for her reply and walked away leaving a stunned Director behind him. He didn't care whether he crossed a line or not. Who told her to call his dignity cheap? And besides, he hated such friendship as well.

At the end of the day, he realized how precious his own best friend was. If he said to jump down a cliff, she'd even do that. Okay, maybe he's going too far with that. Because Raelle would definitely ask a million questions but in the end, she'll still jump if he was the one telling her to do so.

Hyson couldn't help sighing ruefully at the thought of his best friend. Maybe he had been so spoiled in this friendship by Raelle that his standard for friendship went too high. So, now that he saw how Director Jade didn't even believe in her best friend's vision, it ticked him off.

It was pointless to argue with a headstrong person like Director Jade and Hyson had decided to not argue with her either. However, today, just within a few days, he ended up arguing with her. He looked towards the sky, the says ahead looked as gloomy as the sky right now.

"Brother Fai!"

Hyson looked at the assistant that had come running after him, panting.

"What is it?" he inquired.

This assistant wasn't his. But he had seen this person around the set. So, she must be an assistant to someone on the crew. He didn't pay much attention to such stuff anyway. It was pointless to do so. And he was the kind of a person who would rather mind his own business.

"I heard you haven't been able to contact your family and were feeling down?"

Hyson's brows furrowed up. How did this person know about that?

Seeing his expression, the young girl waved her hands, "Don't get me wrong. I heard the make-up artist talking about it."

Hyson had a look of understanding since he did talk about it around Sora and the make-up artist.

"Anyway, I know a place where you can find the signal," she told him.

Hyson's eyes brightened up instantly as he looked at her, "What? Really? Where?"

Seeing his excited look and sparkling eyes, the young girl was left in a trance and flushed when she realized that she had been staring at him for far too long now.

Clearing her throat, she pointed him in the right direction, "If you reach the top, you can catch some signal. There is even a small cafe kind of shop there as well."

Hyson eyed her doubtfully and the young girl could see his vigilance, so she pointed in that direction again and said, "Look over there, even our Male Lead just came from there. I'm not lying to you."

Hyson did see the Male Lead of the movie coming from the same direction holding his laptop. He wasn't surprised that others were eager to find some network here as well. After all, all these celebrities couldn't live without their social media. And he was the only black sheep, who had never even touched his social media. But since the other person held his laptop, it confirmed that there was indeed a place up there that could provide him with the internet.

Since he knew there was a place where he could finally get to see his mother, he said his thanks and ran off in that direction.

The young girl behind him smirked evilly and huffed before trotting away.
