The Treasure She Never Asked For

Chapter 39

Marcel was having a conversation with Avian because he wanted to know how Liam was doing in school. He was worried that the boy"s mood might be low all day or worse, he could be crying.

[Do you want to go to the school to check on him?] Avian asked as if it was an option. What was the point of monitoring the boy if he won"t believe what he is reporting back to him?

Marcel said and opened his eyes starling Anne who had just finished fixing his eyeshadow.

"Are we done?" Marcel asked with a polite smile. He decided to act like he did not notice the way she had gotten surprised. Anne nodded like a pecking chicken and Marcel stood up from his seat.

His hair had already been fixed so he went to the centre of the floor to wait for instructions from the director.

They were going to film the ch.o.r.eography at different angles so that it wouldn"t just be the monotonous ch.o.r.eography. He knew that they would probably have to repeat the ch.o.r.eography at least five times to get a good video out of it.

When Sherry saw Marcel stand at the middle of the studio she quickly went to him. Marcel watched Sherry walk towards him and stop in front of him.

He noticed that she looked nervous and he became worried because her expressions were supposed to be consistent otherwise they would end up spending the entire day filming the music video.

He had to go pick up Liam so they would move to their new place later. He knew he had to fix her mood otherwise the one that will be suffering will be himself.

"Are you alright?" Marcel asked as he searched her face. Sherry immediately looked down at her feet as she felt quite embarra.s.sed with what the director had asked her to do later.

Marcel frowned when he saw the way she was acting. This was the complete opposite of how she was supposed to be acting.

"Are you feeling nervous?" Marcel asked and stretched out his hand to push a few strands away from her face. His eyes were focused on her hair looked at her straight in the eyes when she lifted her head in surprise.

"Are you all shooting the behind the scenes?" the director asked.

He knew that this kind of footage would be gold, especially with the whole concept of the music video. The a.s.sistant director nodded in confirmation and the director smiled in satisfaction.


He looked at Marcel carefully and found himself nodding in approval, he had to admit that the boy was talented. Marcel was completely unaware of how people had decided to milk the filming.

Sherry nodded honestly to Marcel"s question. It was quite obvious and there was no point in lying about it.

"What is it? You were fine for the first take" Marcel asked as he held her shoulders. He was hoping to set the mood but his actions seemed to just make Sherry feel even more nervous than she was before.

"I just need to calm down for a second" Sherry said.

"Mmh, if you can"t do it today we can continue tomorrow," Marcel said as he released her.

"No, I"ll be fine," Sherry said desperately. She knew if that happened she would never go through with the suggestion that the director had given her.

"Okay. I hope we can finish early so I can go pick Liam up from school" Marcel said deliberately pressuring Sherry. Sherry nodded in understanding and took a few deep breaths in an effort to calm down. After giving herself a pep talk she was feeling better after five minutes.

"Are you better now?" Marcel asked as he studied her face. She looked like she had recovered so his mood improved as well.

"Yes," Sherry said with a nod and turned to look at the director.

"Shall we?" Marcel asked as he stretched his arm towards her. Sherry took it without hesitation and the two of them went to stand at the place they were meant to be.

"Are we ready?" the director asked and Marcel gave him a nod.

One of the staff went in front of the main camera with a clapperboard and the director yelled action when the clapping sound sounded in the room. Sherry had gotten in character smoothly so Marcel was feeling relieved.

The two of them repeated the entire ch.o.r.eography five times, but there were certain parts of the ch.o.r.eography they had to repeated individually.

"Okay, now let"s do a take on the last part before we wrap up," the director said and Sherry thought her heart would leap out of her throat.

"Are we ready?" the director asked not giving Sherry the chance to overthink things. Marcel had not been paying attention to her so he confirmed that they were ready with the director.

"Let"s wrap up Sherry," Marcel said and held her hand in preparation to do the last sequence.

Sherry quickly came back to her senses when Marcel did the sequence of movements she was dragged across the floor before Marcel was hovering on top of her where she was required to push him back so that he was on his back with his elbows supporting him and that was where she was supposed to close in on him.

Marcel had already done the series of movements dozens of times so when Sherry was on top of him it pretty much signalled the end of the routine but rather than stop, he saw that Sherry"s face grew closer and before he could do anything their lips connected.

His eyes widened in surprise and he could vaguely hear the director"s voice in the distance and the crew clapping.

Marcel was frozen in place and did not move.

Marcel asked Avian who was as stunned as he was.
