One week after, Lele goes to see Glenn and
Andre [formerly Anji; the author wrote his English name] and asks if
they are doing well. The two angrily shout where she has gone to, just
disappearing after the show. She sheepishly tells them that she thinks
that it is no big deal so she went for a trip. To her surprise, Andre
exclaims that she had caused such a ruckus. She is called ‘Scarlet
Satan’ and ‘Smiling Goddess’ in the fashion industry. Lele couldn’t
believe it that Andre gives her an album of some pictures taken of them
backstage. He says that they are getting along well. Lele easily made
him laugh and her smile is infectious. Andre admits that it was Lele who
leads the mood of the shooting that the other staff likes her more.
Then, Lele laughs over a picture wherein Andre looks handsome. Andre
happily holds her hand and asks if she really thinks that he’s handsome.
Soon, posters of her show juxtaposed with a shot of her behind the
scenes are all over the city. The title is ‘He is a She’. It is Glenn’s
latest autumn-winter fashion advertisement. In the streets, Andre
comments over how amazing Glenn is to think of this. He took advantage
of Lele smiling as something new in the fashion industry wherein models
usually look cold. This widens up their modeling paths. Lele doesn’t
want to take the credit for herself and says that it is because she is
just happily working with the friend she likes. Andre is already happy
for being called a friend Lele likes. Lele thinks of wanting to
immediately go to work, and leave this city where Eros is currently
is..the farther away, the better. While walking, Angus notices a poster
of Lele. He attributes her success because she had work together with
him. Then, his phone rings. It is Eros who asks where he is, has he
forgotten to give him a call because he is too happy with Ulysses. He
asks if everything is okay. Angus is teary-eyed. He scolds Eros for
being an idiot for he obviously called him so many times already. A note
says that Eros has been too busy sobering himself from the drugs and
being in love. Eros sheepishly says is that so. Angus asks how come Eros
is calling him. Eros says that he is feeling down. Angus asks if he has
been dumped by a girl again. There is no answer so Angus exclaims if
Feidna has been two-timing again. Eros says that it isn’t her. Angus
says that is right, for he hasn’t seen Eros feeling hurt because of
Feidna. Then, Angus realizes something..since it isn’t Feidna.. He
shouts if Eros got a new girlfriend.
Actually, Eros has already called two other persons earlier. Eros
told Taylor that he loves him and he should keep himself healthy.
Sweatdropping Taylor told him to calm down, Lele will quickly come back.
Eros told Leo that Leo has always been concerned about him and he isn’t
perfect as he thinks he is. Leo told him to cheer up, he’ll help him
find Lele and she doesn’t have the heart to abandon him. End flashback.
Angus asks who the girl is. Eros remembers Taylor’s warning about being
cautious with Angus regarding Lele for Angus is quite possessive of him.
Eros asks Angus instead if he will be happy for him if there is a day
when he found the girl whom he would want to spend the rest of his life
with. Angus asks again who the girl is. Eros says that he is his most
important younger brother and this is a fact that won’t change forever.
Angus asks again who she is. Eros says that is why he needs his approval
but right now, he might lose her so he’ll tell him everything once he
gets back to New York. Before then, he must chase after her and after
then, he’ll arrange for them to meet. Angus doesn’t look happy about it.
After hanging up, Eros thinks that he has always been evading Angus’
question and they can’t forever be like how they were before. Then, he
notices Lele and Andre passing by. Andre is surprised when Lele just
passed him by. Eros grabs Lele’s arm and asks won’t she let him explain.
He is really worried about her since she just disappeared for a week.
Lele claims that she doesn’t know him so there’s no need to explain. She
tells Andre to go ahead and she’ll catch up. Eros asks how come Andre
is still staying at her place when the fashion show is already over.
Lele says that it is none of his business and did he forget that she
said that it is over between them. Eros says that he has already gone to
see Feidna. Mandy has found Feidna through media and helped in tricking
Lele. The goal is revenge so she used Feidna and Feidna also.. Lele
asks him what’s the use of telling that to her, it isn’t a bit important
and anyway, she doesn’t want to see him again. As she leaves, Eros is
shock that she would say that to him. Later on, Eros sweatdrops for Leo
is pitying him since he is an idiot who has fallen madly in love. He
tells Eros that even if he has already explained things clearly to Lele,
but it isn’t important whether or not, he is with Mandy. What’s
important is he didn’t trust Lele. Thinking that it isn’t because he
didn’t trust Lele, Eros asks what he should do. Leo suggests that he let
Lele be until Lele blows off her anger, then he comes back to explain
again. Leo tells him to relax for Lele won’t easily let go after being
quite stubborn/attached with him before. If it really won’t do, just
force[/rape] her and she definitely couldn’t resist his charm. Soon, Leo
is laughing that Eros wonders if he can trust what Leo said.
The next day, Glenn gives Lele some papers about the plan for the
advertisements which he had already chosen. After a pause, Lele tells
him that she had fun working with Andre and she wants to quickly get to
work. She thinks that it would be better if she can work overseas. Glenn
asks if she has been bitten by the travel bug and lately, she isn’t a
bit the same as before. No matter what happened, she would easily adjust
and be in a good mood. That is what the netizens like about her, it is
her smile. She is weak and strong at the same time and that is why she
is able to finish her work with Andre. The fact is, she doesn’t look
boyish but her inner strength made her look strong. The most important
thing is she is lively and infectious[/inspirational] and that isn’t
something that every model has. After this work with Andre is finished,
he won’t make Lele act as a guy again and it is enough to have one
androgynous model. Glenn advises her to do her best in keeping up with
the name of ‘Smiling Goddess’ as her selling point. He tells her to
quickly cheer up for so many people in the world are drawing strength
from her smile. Lele sheepishly smiles and asks if she is that
influential though she likes to smile. Glenn tells her to try it out for
models to have the so-called personality, more than half just act cool
but she is different. She really has personality and affinity which is
her strongest weapon. Lele wonders if this is the magic born out of her
name which her grandma gave her. [Note: ‘Le’ of Lele in Chinese means
‘happy’] Her grandma would call her name and tell her that if she is
forever happy, it would seem that everything is beautiful in this world.
She recalls Eros scolding her for not attempting big, and giving up her
dream just because of love, and didn’t she have any dream. Determined
Lele smiles and thinks that she now knows the direction which she ought
to do her best. Outside the office, there is a ruckus for drunk Feidna
has been tearing down Lele’s posters. The people there are trying to
stop her and calm her down. Lele and Glenn wonder what the ruckus is
about. They were surprised to see crying and flustered Feidna coming in
the office. Next chapter will be out in Taiwan on Dec. 5th. The blurb
isn’t new about Feidna knowing Eros’ secret and threatening the two’s
relationship.
