Chapter 196 - 195: Perks Of Having Eunji As A Friend

Eunji brought Nathan to have lunch with her team.

She had already phoned them to go directly on the cafeteria when they finished setting up the set.

Eunji and Nathan went up on the second floor of the cafeteria which could give them more privacy compared to eating on the ground floor.

When they arrived, Eunji was surprised to see the film crew, excluding the director, lead stars and supporting artists, eating their lunch as well.

A familiar face then welcomed her sight and she could not help but smile especially when the former looked towards her direction and their eyes met.

Alice!

Alice then stopped eating as she stood up and almost run towards Eunji.

"Careful!" Iris who was following behind her reprimanded Alice for her careless behavior.

She's pregnant and her carelessness might cause her to trip or fall down on the ground and risk her and her baby's life.

"Oh my gosh EL!" Alice exclaimed in excitement as she rushed to hug her.

"Alice!" Eunji said as she hugged her back.

"I'm so sorry if I was not able to visit you. I got busy with the filming and --" before she could even continue, Eunji had cut her off mid-way.

"Don't mind it. You should mind your self. Look at you! You're pregnant yet you're still working hard. And you're still so careless with your actions!"

"I'm fine. The baby and I are fine. And besides, Iris is such a sweet heart. She always takes good care of me...of us. She'll be a great Momma with our child." Alice said as she looked affectionately at Iris who was blushing at the moment.

That's right, Alice had decided to let Iris be her child's other parent by adoption.

As of Magnus, she would not stop him from seeing her child after all, the child was also his. But should he ask for joint custody, that would surely cause a big problem as she would fight with him in court.

Eunji decided to not interfere with it since both parties involved were close to her.

She hoped that Magnus would agree to Alice's wish given that Alice was very stubborn.

And besides, he was also starting his own family. It would only create a great misunderstanding between him and his fiancé if he would bring another woman's child in their house.

"I bet she would." Eunji agreed with Alice as she looked at Iris. She knew how responsible Iris was.

"So, when are you going to invite me on your wedding?" Eunji asked which made both Alice and Iris to choke.

"What? Don't tell me that plan didn't come across in your minds?" Eunji gave a questioning look to both Iris and Alice.

"Wifey. Let them be. Let them do it on their own pace just like what we did." Nathan interrupted her which made the two ladies grateful of him.

(As if what the two of you did was slow-paced.)

"Master Boss' is right EJ. Our focus now is Alice's pregnancy and the safe delivery of our baby. Also, we still have a lot of things to consider before jumping into that big step." Iris chimed in.

"Like what?" Eunji raised her brow as she looked at her.

"I want to have a formal talk with her father on the grave. I want to ask her hand for marriage from him first even if he was already dead." Iris sincerely said which made Alice to be emotional.

Eunji chuckled as she knew there's no need for that. But still, she felt proud for Iris. What she was doing was really commendable.

"Fine. But...you should inform me first should you finally plan to hold a wedding. Understood?" Eunji told them.

"En!" Both immediately agreed.

"Are you done eating? It's not good to leave your food in the table. You should go back and resume eating your lunch you know." Eunji persuaded them. While she and Nathan decided to sit on their reserved table.

"It's okay. I'm not in the mood to eat anyways." Alice said as she followed the couple.

"Why? Are you still craving on something? I still have it, too you know. It's not easy to feed plenty of hungry mouths inside me." Eunji humored the last part.

But Alice was only silent while looking at the entrance of the second floor.

"Is it because of Magnus?" Eunji immediately asked her as she got a hint of what she was worried about.

"I'm sorry. I didn't have a choice. It was an emergency and I needed the team. Should I be in my old condition, I would do everything with myself." Eunji tried her best to explain.

"No! It's okay. You don't have to worry about it. We're bound to meet anyways whether I like it or not." Alice expressed her thoughts about it.

"I understand. I hope you know that I'll be neutral between you both. But that does not mean that I will not interfere when one or both of you were doing wrong that could harm the baby. I'm after the well-being of your child and not you as the parents." Eunji said.

Alice understood what Eunji was telling her.

"You don't have to worry about that EL." She reassured.

"Good."

Alice and Iris bid their goodbye and went back to their table to continue eating.

Soon enough, Magnus, Lex and the rest came together with Guo Xiaolan, Fu Rong and the rest of the girls.

Alice tried her best to not be noticed by her old friends but her efforts were on vain because Lex spotted her.

"Alice!" He called her out and ran towards her direction.

Alice cursed on her breath as she knew she was doomed.

"Lex!" Alice decided to greet him after all, he missed the guy so badly.

She was about to stand up but Lex had already hugged her while she was sitting.

Lex then noticed her baby bump and asked her.

"Oh my! Alice, you are pregnant?" Lex asked in a louder voice which was enough for everyone in the second floor to hear.

The rest of their roommates gasped as they were surprised by the pregnancy.

"Surprise?" Alice laughed awkwardly.

"Who's the lucky guy?" Lex asked her again.

"There's no lucky guy, Lex." Alice answered him.

"And oh. Meet my girl friend." Alice didn't waste any time and introduce Iris to everyone except for Magnus who was stood rooted on the ground as he was clearly shocked by Alice's pregnancy news.

Eunji silently watched as the situation unfold.

As she watched Alice was feeling uncomfortable to discus the topic, Eunji decided to interfere.

"Everyone, I know you're happy to see each other again but we can do this next time. Geez! I am starving have mercy on me!" Eunji emphasized.

"Oh right! We can't let this hungry tiger to be angry or else it would be not good." Lex commented making everyone to chuckle.

Lex reluctantly left Alice side making the latter to look at Eunji in gratitude. 'Thank you.' She mouthed to Eunji.

Eunji threw a wink at her which made Alice to make an eye roll.

Little did she know her little flirty action sent the crew and the other students eating on the second floor and were forced to be the audience of this short drama, to nearly have a heart attack.

Eunji's charm was so much to handle.

While everyone was already settled on their seats, Eunji walked towards Magnus as he grabbed the latter's arm and drag him into their table.

"I know you have questions but not now. I need you to focus today. Understood? Or else I'll be forced to send you home." Eunji told him in a whisper.

Eunji always wanted her team to be on their best shape and should be professional when working.

Personal problems should be set aside from work.

When the work was done, that's when the time she would let her team to face and solve whatever their problems were.

"Sorry. I understand. Don't worry. You won't be sending me home today." Magnus seriously said.

Eunji heaved a huge sigh of relief as she looked at Magnus and then to Alice.

The food had been served on their table. They had a customized menu than the rest since they were eating with the two big bosses of the school.

Nathan made sure that Eunji would eat all of the vegetables on her plate.

But Eunji could not stomach all of it as she felt like her insides were stumbling upside down.

She suddenly had the urge to vomit.

"Please...don't feed me again with this." Eunji told Nathan after they went back from the toilet.

Those who knew of her pregnancy didn't find the couple's behavior weird but those who were still on the shadows looked at each other and then to the couple.

"EJ, are we missing on something here?" Topher asked her.

"I'll tell you all when we have more privacy. Not here." Eunji said as she looked at her team.

Thankfully they understood and agreed with her.

After they had their lunch, the group made their way towards the studio so they could start the photoshoot.

Eunji and Nathan went to the private lounge so she could touch up and change into her professional working clothes.

"Are you going to show up as EL? Or as Eunji, my wife?"

"Hmmm. I still had not decided yet." Eunji answered truthfully.

"Hmmm. Can I ask you a favor?" Eunji didn't hesitate but ask him.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Can you not go there while I am working? I'm afraid the models would only be distracted with you around." Eunji told him.

"Oh...why do I feel like you're jealous wifey?" Nathan teased as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Of course not! You see, you have this intimidating appeal hubby and the models would surely be distracted."

"But I want to be with you while working wifey." Nathan pouted as he really wanted to be with Eunji to make sure that she'll be okay. That nothing bad would happen to her.

"Fine. But you should be there as the boss and not as my husband. And don't distract me while I am working or else I'll show you who the real boss is." Eunji warned Nathan.

"Yes boss!" Nathan teased as he kissed her cheek.

***

Eunji decided to show up in the photoshoot as EL.

So Nathan waited on the couch as his wife changed into her disguise as EL on the changing room.

Wearing a darker eye make-up and her signature eye-patch, leather jacket and denim jeans matched with her knee-length high boots, she looked so hot on her outfit which made Nathan to want to take her.

She let her hair on a messy bun and had a lollipop on her mouth.

"Are you done staring? If your looks could make a person melt, then I am already melting on the floor." Eunji commented on Nathan's dazed expression after seeing her.

"You look fantastic wifey!" Nathan praised her. "Now I am afraid that all of those models would be drooling at you and not to me." Nathan added.

"Seriously? Oh so you want to get all of their attention?" Eunji asked as if she was hurt as she walked towards them.

"Of course. As good looking as I am, all eyes would be on me the moment I stepped inside that room. However, all of their attention were nothing for me because all I want is your attention." Without warning, Nathan claimed her sweet and soft lips making the latter to gasp in surprise.

Nathan let go and chuckled as he watched her gasping for air.
