Chapter 5: Believe

1182 Words
“I’m sorry, Gervais. I was too selfish to think only of myself. You are right, we are young.” He quickly wiped away the tears that were pooling on her eyelids. Gently patting her head, said: “Wait for me, babe! Just a little more.” “I always believe you.” Anita smiled trustingly at him. She had always had absolute trust in this man. He has always been her spiritual support. Even in a dream, she did not dare to dream that one day he would betray her. “Well, go in first, I’ll come in later to avoid misunderstandings.” Listening to him, she went inside. She tries to act normal so no one will know she just cried. Before leaving, do not forget to tell him to eat well. A month later, the film was finally closed. Now we just have to wait for the movie to be released. The entire film crew on the last day of filming, the director invited everyone to eat to celebrate more than half a year of working together. This is a movie that is carefully invested in every stage. That half a year was just for our actors. To be more precise, this screenwriter took almost ten years to write the script for this movie. On that day, Calee took part, and Gervais also took part. Anita also really wanted to go, but unfortunately, she had a shift at the restaurant that day, so she could only go back first. Leila didn’t join them and quietly left. She didn’t want to eat with Calee. During the filming process, there were many frictions between the two sides after the incident the day before. Now that those days are over, it must thrill Leila in her heart. …. “Anita, let’s change the shift, please. I have an appointment today.” “OK! You can go ahead!” Anita sighed softly. She also knew that the girl was dating, with such a cheerful face. This isn’t the first time a coworker asked her to change shifts to go out with her boyfriend. Before, Gervais always waited for her to eat together after work, but not anymore. Currently, he is being favored by the director, and in the future, someone will certainly invite him to take part in many films. That means less and less time for her. Anita doesn’t blame him. She’s happy for Gervais, seeing him so successful she couldn’t help but be happy for him. She adjusted her uniform and started her work. This service job has a meager salary, but it also teaches her to be patient and welcoming in all cases with customers. “Anita, today our VIP guest came. You need to go to room 04 for service.” “Ok, I know!” She took the menu book, changed her manners, and went to that VIP room. This restaurant is famous for its luxury, so most of the customers coming here must be people with money. Of course, the richer the person, the harder it is to serve. Them, for her, the more VIP rooms, the higher the risk of being bullied and criticized many times. Anita took a deep breath and mentally went inside, ready to face the customer. Contrary to what she thought, inside the main room were two famous voters’ shows in the showbiz world. She often sees them on TV with Calee. They seem to be discussing business. She carefully poured wine for them while also listening to the situation a bit. “Is he coming home soon?” “Richardo?” “Right!” “I’m afraid showbiz is about to have another wave.” Richardo is the executive chairman of Marc Group - the major investor for this film of Anita. According to the rumors in the newspapers, he is a very talented person who is also very strict. His family was rich, but he never relied on it. At eighteen, he founded the Marc Group by himself. However, except for the senior leaders who have followed the company since its inception, no one has seen his face. Richardo has also never revealed information about his life. According to the other two show voters, he intends to return to France. Maybe he will make a major coup in the art world here. The look on those two faces made the atmosphere in the VIP room gradually become more stuffy than ever. She doesn’t seem to care much. Anita only secretly admired his talent, but also knew that a minor actor like herself would never have been able to meet Richardo. After work, she went home as usual. Today is tiring… … Two months later, because of Anita’s excellent performance, she was fortunate to have the attention of filmmakers, even though it was not a major role, it was enough for her to feel satisfied. Right now, we can only wait for the other movie to be released to the audience. As usual, she quietly returned home after a long day of filming. It was well past eight o’clock in the evening. Her face was full of fatigue. Right now, she just wanted to lie back on the soft bed. As soon as she arrived at the apartment gate, the rows of red and yellow wires quickly attracted her attention. Looks like there’s a crime scene near where she lives. Out of curiosity, she quickly went there to observe. Many people were flocking here, many things had to be crowded so she could see the situation inside. A group of policemen is surrounding the corpse of a young girl. That girl’s face became deformed from the powerful impact, her whole body lying in a large pool of blood. Strangely, that girl was wearing a clown costume. Judging from her position and crouching position, it was probably a fall from above. Is it a suicide? A lot of talks sounded. “Is this girl suicidal?” “No, I feel like she was deliberately pushed down from above by someone, looking at the look on her face when she died. She looked so scared.” “Yes, certainly murdered. Who would commit suicide dressed so monstrously? “ …. Anita stood aside and listened attentively to their conversation, occasionally glancing at the corpse as a clown. Whether it’s suicide or being murdered, it’s terrifying. Somehow Anita gets the feeling that the girl’s looking at her. Maybe it’s because it turned this face towards her. Anita shivered a little and quickly left the place. She didn’t dare look at that corpse again. She had always been a coward. She never thought I’d witness a murder one day. As soon as Anita entered the house, she locked the door. Turn the handle a few times to test its sturdiness. The security here is terrible, the architecture of this apartment building is too old. Yet every time people complain about repairs and upgrades, the landlady will get angry and want to increase their rent. “She’s such a miser,” Anita scolded silently in her heart.
