After twenty minutes Marcel finished getting ready and walked to the set as he reviewed the script he was holding. He looked at the way the area was arranged and could surmise that he would have to change at least three times that day. The set was silent after his appearance, but he did not even notice and went directly to the director to discuss the script.
"I don't think I'll be able to do this" Sherry said to Kaira who had accompanied her to the set.
"It'll be fine, you can guiltlessly flirt with him. It should help that he is good looking," Kaira answered as she too looked at Marcel and admired his looks.
"It doesn't help at all, he was distracting before but what am I supposed to do now that he is wearing a suit?" Sherry said as she put her face in her hands.
Unlike the more relaxed appearance he had yesterday, today he was wearing a suit and it fit his body almost too perfectly. They even gave him a pair of gla.s.ses to go with the whole concept. Seeing him seriously discuss the script with the director brought the whole look together.
"I don't think I can do it," Sherry said once more and buried her face in her hands.
"You can do it. You also look stunning, so don't worry about it. He'll probably be too nervous as well" Kaira said, and Sherry gave a sarcastic snort.
She didn't think Marcel was capable of being nervous, at least not when he was in front of a camera. He was too comfortable during their previous shoot that she even had doubts about whether he was an amateur actor, from what she had been able to gather, that did not seem to be the case.
After a short discussion with the director, Marcel went to discuss some details with Sherry on how the scenes will play out and after the initial nervousness, Sherry could focus more on their discussion. After they cleared things up between them and after getting feedback from the director, the shoot started.
Unbeknownst to Marcel, Julia had been taking some pictures of him while he was busy on the set. She was planning to send them to him later so he can upload them on his social media.
After doing many takes, they had to go change again to another concept. This went on another three times and by the time they ended the shoot, it was already dark. Even though Marcel wanted to leave immediately, Julia advised him against it.
The director was very popular and had filmed a lot of movies that have won awards in his career. If he left now he would lose the chance of making this important connection.
Marcel was feeling quite conflicted about what to do because he had been imposing on Damien all day by leaving Liam with him. He had already changed out of his clothes and removed his makeup. The filming crew were also done with packing up their things so they were all getting ready to leave the set.
Marcel went to the van first because he thought that he should at least make a call to tell Damien that he would be finis.h.i.+ng late. He listened to the phone ring for a while before Damien finally took his call.
"Marcel," Damien said sounding like he was occupied.
"Umm, Good evening Mr. Matteo," Marcel said in response.
"Mmh, what is it?" Damien asked.
"There's going to be a dinner after the shoot so I'll be running late. I can-" Marcel said but was cut off.
"You need to go to that dinner. Make sure you have the director's number by the end of it. In the future he'll think of you when there's an appropriate role for you" Damien said.
"I know, but Liam…" Marcel started to say but wasn't sure on how to continue his sentence. He wanted to go pick Liam up because he felt that he was imposing on Damien. But because he was probably going to finish late, he couldn't bring Liam with him just to make him sleep at the table with grown-ups.

"It's okay, I'll be going home at 10 pm, if you aren't done by then I'll take him with me then you can come to pick him up on your way home," Damien said in rea.s.surance. Marcel pursed his lips together from nervousness, he never dreamed that there would ever come a time when his boss would be babysitting for him.
"Thank you so much," Marcel said genuinely.
"No problem, make sure you make me enough money," Damien said with a chuckle.
"I definitely will. Can I talk to Liam?" Marcel asked a bit cautiously.
"Mmh," Damien replied. Marcel could hear Damien call Liam and after a few seconds, Liam took the phone and Marcel heard his childish voice through the phone speaker.
"h.e.l.lo?" Liam said.
"Liam, are you doing okay? Are you having fun with uncle Damien?" Marcel asked.
"Yes I am, we even went out to eat lunch and he bought me ice-cream too," Liam said happily. Marcel was relieved that he didn't sound bored and was enjoying Damien's company.
At that moment, the door to the van slid open and Julia got inside with her a.s.sistant and his road manager took to the driver's seat.
"Are we leaving now?" Marcel asked Julia and she nodded.
"Okay," Marcel answered and continued his chat with Liam.
"Liam, big brother is going to be busy tonight, so I'll finish work late," Marcel said.
"Okay," Liam said, his tone sounding unconcerned.
"If you need anything just tell uncle Damien okay?" Marcel reminded.
"Mmh, I will," Liam said in understanding.
"I'll see you later, okay?" Marcel replied and after finis.h.i.+ng their goodbye's the phone call ended.
Marcel noticed that there was an abnormal amount of silence in the van after sitting for a few seconds.
"What is it? Is there something wrong?" Marcel asked his team.
"Ah, uncle?" Marie asked.
"I don't call him uncle, Liam does," Marcel clarified. Although it sounded better, the kid's form of address will reduce the distance he had with Damien. Julia, on the other hand, looked at him with bright eyes. It looked like she did not receive a useless person.
Marcel, of course, noticed the way she was looking at him and felt a bit apprehensive. How could he not know what she was thinking? He was not that much of a schemer okay?
