Chapter 23 - Flashback 2

Meesha is running from one corner of her room to another. It's early in the morning, and the lazy couch potato is gathering her things in a hurry. Well, what's so special today?

After struggling for months, Meesha has finally got herself a chance to prove her worth. 'We Writers' offered Meesha the opportunity to work with them.

'We Writers', a small-scale company, managed to produce one of the finest webtoon artists and novelists. Meesha is going to work as an assistant of a well-known scriptwriter, Mrs. Mild.

Meesha's mother is still in shock, while her father is planning to throw a lavish party for her daughter's success. In all this chaos, Sasha is the only one who is acting normal and helping her lil sister.

Finally, Meesha is ready to step out to make her entry into her dream world. The moment she raises her foot to cross the threshold of her house, Sasha reminds her to get her phone, which is still charging.

Irritated, Meesha runs to her room, gets her cell phone, and rushes out.

At 'We Writers' Meesha signs her first exclusive contract. She is a little upset that she won't be producing any original works of hers but assisting Mrs. Mild in her projects.

Mrs. Mild, a tall, tough lady in her early forties, has produced some major hit drama series in the entertainment industry. She has been on hiatus due to her pregnancy and is making her comeback after two years.

'MASHED POTATOES!!" What in the foody world is this drama?" Meesha screams. Mrs. Mild's comeback drama series, one of her newly formed friends informs her.

Her friends remind her to be mindful of what she says. They ask her to go through her previous works; although the titles of her works are quirky, they are masterpieces.

It's been two weeks since Meesha joined the We Writers. She's working real hard to keep up with her boss. The only time she has for herself to care about her life is at night when she's on the verge of falling asleep.

It is Monday, and the filming of 'Mashed Potatoes' is taking off. Meesha has a lot to do. She's not only monitoring the script but also helping Mrs. Mild with her other two projects still in writing.

Meesha reaches the filming spot only to find it's her own restaurant. She was so occupied that she didn't even pay attention to the filming location.

The restaurant, although similar, has had the name and the overall ambience changed as the drama requires.

The very first scene marking the beginning is actually one of the most important scenes of the drama. The male lead is defeated by his opponent with his simple yet outstanding dish, 'mashed potatoes'.

Meesha has the script in her hands, and her eyes are fixed on the dialogues one has to deliver in the scenes. Mrs. Mild has given her clear instructions that no one should make a slight change in the dialogues. The director seems pissed because she's not letting anyone improvise, not even the slightest.

A crew member approaches the director in a hurry and whispers something in his ear.

Meesha jumps in curiosity, "What's happening?"

"Guest appearance," someone on the set replies.

She goes through the script and notices that there is a scene where judges appear. She knew someone big would be making a guest appearance, but who?

Meesha sees the director coming back inside holding onto a young, dashing guy. Her eyes widen as she scans the guy from head to toe.

"OMG!! "It's Tim, and nobody gave me a hint," Meesha whispers to herself, hiding her face behind the script.

She sneakily looks at Tim. She was admiring the heavenly beauty of her idol when Mrs. Mild interrupted her.

Mrs. Mild is the reason Tim came a long way in the industry. It happened almost 9 years ago when Tim, not really struggling but far from success, caught Mrs. Mild's eye.

After his success, he never missed a chance to work with her, even if it meant being in a role as minor as a guest.

Justin sees Tim staring at Meesha longer than he ever did in history.

He clears his throat. "What are you looking at?

Tim holds his cell phone in front of Justin. One moment Justin is peeping at the screen and the next at Meesha. Tim asks him to stop oscillating, or he might break his neck.

Tim and Justin are in shock because it was Meesha who texted at midnight to wish him a happy birthday. Tim just figured out that she looked familiar and checked his chat. Her profile picture helped him to confirm she's the one.

"How did she know your account?" Justin murmurs.

"That's what I wanted to ask you." Tim glares at Justin to see if he slipped his personal account to others unintentionally.
