Back at TVB city, the costume designer, Ron Ng was giving a small explaination of the design. The main cast, Steven, Charmaine, Tavia and Chris were here, with their main costumes in their hands.
"Where's your black suit?" Ron asked Steven. "The reporters want to take some small pictures of the cast and couples with the same theme of clothing"
"Oh, somebody accidently stepped on it" Steven said, glancing at Charmaine.
"What happened? It's is ok to wear?" Ron asked, taking the suit from Steven's arms. He took it out of the plastic sheet. "Woah...pretty big rip"
"I know hey.."Steven said sacrastically.
"I'll just get a size up for you ok?" Ron said, going back to the rack.
"This is so nice.."Tavia looked into the full-length mirror. She was wearing her formal dress, it looked somewhat better than Charmaine's, it was strapless too. "Ron, do you think I could have this after we finish filming?"
Ron chuckled. "Of course"
Charmaine, who hadn't started any critism yet, was sitting on a chair next to Chris Lai, her face seemed impatient and she was staring at Tavia. She stood up and walked to Tavia. Tavia saw in the mirror that she was coming, to avoid being critised she approached Ron from the back. "Ron" she called.
Ron turned around and unexpectedly, he stepped on her long flowing dress and ripped some of it off. "Oh My god.."Ron said aloud. "Sorry..i think you'll have to stay back after this. We have to adjust this dress so it's suitable for your height"
"It's ok.."Tavia giggled. "Yup, you have to adjust it so you don't have to step on it again"
Ron nodded and walked over to Steven. "One size up, try it please" he handed the black suit to him.
Charmaine checked out her other costumes. "Excuse me Mr.Ng, I need to have a small talk with you"
Ron who was talking with Steven approached Charmaine. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"What's wrong is that I don't like bright orange, do you think I'm a little girl?" Charmaine said. "By the way, I'm a 7 and a half, this doesn't fit me"
Ron bent down and picked up the bright orange heels and checked the back of it. "Yes, it's a 7 and a half, want to try half a size up?"
"Whatever, but don't give me bright orange" Charmaine said sacrastically. "I don't know how you can design. How does bright orange fit a 27 year old, Mr Ng?"
"But Ms.Sheh, you portray a 23 year old character, and she's good in fashion as well" Ron said. "It's not up to you to wear what you want anyway"
"Excuse me, I could report your bad attitude to producer Chan right now, you are the crew , so 'you' being our needs to us, and put away the ones we don't, so change the colour of those heels. Utterly disgusting" Charmaine said giving him a smirk.
Ron took both the heels and consulted his assistant to pick out another pair. "Actresses these days, have no respect for the crew that helps them. Gee"
"Say that again" Charmaine's soft voice was heard behind Ron.
Ron turned around and saw she already walked off. He shivered and looked for a new colour for the shoe.

"Alright, here's the cast. For the opposing dialogue, I really want you to practice with the other person, so when you're filming you know what the other person is saying and no awkwardness" the editor, Patrick Tam said as he handed out the first 3 episode's script.
Everyone took a copy. "So I get the first line?" Steven asked. "And then....Charmaine appears and aren't a bickering couple.." he said aloud.
"Correct" Flora said. "I hope you and Charmaine get along, so you can practice more, which means that when filming, you're already used to it"
"Let me get this right" Charmaine said. "I have to practice with him? I refuse"
"Why is that?" Patrick Tam asked.
"I refuse because I believe I am able to handle this. I'll just asked my buttler to pretend to be him, I mean after all I won the award last year" Charmaine flicked her long hair behind.
Tavia who was next to her rolled her eyes again. "When will filming start again? Have any schedules?"
The director handed out some sheets. "Filming will start in 2 days, so you have plenty of time to practice. As it iw written, first scene requires Steven Ma and Charmaine Sheh, on that day we will film 4 scenes, all inside our studios. So on that day, Steven Ma, Charmaine Sheh and Tavia Yeung are to film. Chris Lai, you come in on the 2nd episode, so you have a few days, got it?"
Everyone nodded their heads. "Any complaints or problems?" the director, Joe glanced at Charmaine.
Charmaine silently sipped her coffee.

"Sorry about that dress you know" Ron apologized as he measured Tavia's height. "166 cm.."he mumbled. And then he measured from knee to ankle. "Ok, thanks for you 'body', I needed it to measure and fix up your dress"
"You're welcome" Tavia smiled. "You know how you say you're the costume designer for most series, how come I don't see you much"
"You do alot of ancient series right?" Ron asked Tavia.
Tavia nodded.
"The majority of my work is modern" Ron chuckled.
"Oh" Tavia said, who sounde dlike she was interested. "Is this your first time working for Charmaine Sheh?"
"Oh no..."Ron said. "A million times, she's always threatening me..but I don't care, because she never really does anything..."Ron paused. "Is she bothering you?"
"Yes..but no" Tavia replied. "Is she always like that? You know before I met her, I used to admire her acting so much, but who knew she was wearing a mask"
Ron chuckled. "At least you're not"
Tavia smiled. "Have you finished? I'm a bit hunry..I'm going down to the canteen. Care to join?"
"Nah, another day" Ron said. "I have to finish off some stuff"
"Ok then, see you" Tavia picked up her handbag and left the room.

Tavia entered the TVB canteen and joined the line to order her food. When it was her turn, she ordered meatball noodles and walked around, looking for an empty table. She spotted Bosco, who was her colleague and friend. "Hey" she smiled and sat down.
"Ahem" he said, wiping his mouth. "Did I say you can sit down?"
"Sorry then.."Tavia said, then standing up.
"Can't you just take a joke?" Bosco asked, with a grin on his face. "So how you going with the script and stuff"
"Oh..it's ok, but I'll be seeing that woman for like everyday from now on"
"Which woman?" Bosco asked.
"Charmaine Sheh. She's so annoying, she keeps critising people"Tavia said.
"Oh, don't mind her...thats like her habit" Bosco said.
"Do you know her?" Tavia leant forward.
"No way!" Bosco said. "I was the location manager for her last series"
"Oh.."Tavia sat back. "Anyway, my car's dead...can you drive me home?"
"Home? Aren't stars supposed to be really busy?" Bosco asked.
"Oh, Leila's coming over tonight...and I just learnt how to cook, so..I want to let her taste my food" Tavia said.
"What about me? I don't get your food?" Bosco said and made a puppy face.
"Oh alright..you can come if you want, we haven't ate together for a long time anyway" Tavia said. "Remember when were in highschool, we were like the drama nerds, but you see how drama works, I'm a celebrity now" tavia giggled.
"Yeah..."Bosco gave her a fake smile."I got to go now, need to discuss some location managing with Myolie, bye!" Bosco stood up and left.
