Chasing After My Wife Chapter 23

Jillyanna chose a white off-shoulder dress which was three inches above the knee. She paired it with a white sneakers and a white scarf was wrapped around her braid to give an accent to her hairstyle.
She put on some lip gloss and face powder to freshen up her look.
Her phone rang while she was preparing herself. Without checking who it was, she answered it directly, keeping it in between her face and shoulders.
"Jillyanna speaking." she greeted the caller while fixing the things she needed to bring for her work.
"Yna, this is Joven. We're on our way to the amusement park. We'll prepare everything for the video while waiting for you." Joven, her video editor and graphic designer, called her for their work.
"Thanks J. I will be there in a few minutes." Jillyanna responded while placing all her stuff into a big handbag. She checked herself on the mirror for the last time before running out of the house. "I'll be off to work! I'll let you know if I can come back for dinner." she dashed out of the house to get in to the garage, leaving her message to the people sitting at the living room.
"Be careful on the road!" Sky called out to her as a reminder.
Jillyanna stepped on the accelerator and maneuvered the car to her destination. She was going to film a surprise for her fans. Many celebrities thought that she was heartless and that she didn't really care about her fans. Since her debut anniversary was just around the corner, she'd release a song dedicated to her fans and the film was going to be at the amusement park.
Jillyanna arrived not long after and the filming team, led by Joven, had prepared everything. They have an idea as to where the shooting will be held and the kind of set up that they wanted to get. It wasn't much of a stress for Jillyanna at all.

"We'll start at the lake side." Joven informed her while taking a big hat for her. "I need you to stand there at the bridge. We'll let the wind blows and you try to keep the hat in place. I'll take as many pictures and videos as possible for us to choose. Your eyes must show the longing you have for someone."
"Yes. Yes. I'll do my best. Should I let down my hair?" Jillyanna asked while waiting for the make up artist to finish her look.
"No need." Joven answered while aiming his camera at her to get a better angle.
Jillyanna tried doing what Joven asked her to do and she managed to give him a satisfying result after five minutes. They continued their filming, this time Jillyanna was being filmed while walking around the park until she reached the ferris wheel area.
"Mommy, look at her. She's really pretty. She looks like a princess." a little girl whispered while pointing at Jillyanna, making her blushed from embarrassment.
"Yes. Big sis is beautiful. You should start eating healthy food as well to become pretty like her." the mother responded with a smile while trying to get her child to eat a sweet corn.
"Is she an actress? Is she filming?" a teen aged girl whispered to her friends.
"She looked so familiar, specially her eyes. I feel like I've seen those eyes before." another young girl stated but they didn't bother her since they saw the filming crew taking videos of her.
Jillyanna just smiled at them and looked up at the high ferris wheel. Since she was a child, she wanted to ride the ferris wheel but her mother was scared of heights so it never happened.
Suddenly, everything turned pitch black. A faint scent of mint drifted off to her nose. The scent was so familiar to her that she recognized him the moment he got closed to her.

"Would you like to ride the ferris wheel with me?" Travis whispered beside her ear. His hot breath fanning the side of her face making her felt itchy to beat him instead.
"I'd be happy if you stop covering my face." she answered softly. When Travis let go of her, she turned around to face him with her smiling eyes.
"Cut!" Joven called out which made them realize that they were in a middle of filming. "I like that gaze. I like the interaction. It would really be great if we could use that video."
"This is..." Travis was shocked and felt a little awkward for what happened. When he turned to face them, the director was even more shocked to know who it was.
"Are you guys planning to have a date? Can you guys do it after filming?" Joven asked, not willing to postpone the film and not willing to make enemy with the devil as well.
"Can I join this filming? What's this for? I can be a handsome partner." Travis offered himself, making Jillyanna laugh.
"It's fine. We can do this. I didn't know you're here already." Jillyanna responded while walking towards the crew. "This Travis. He's my..."
"...soon to be husband." Travis interrupted her which made her turn to face him abruptly.
"What husband are you talking about. Cut it out." Jillyanna rolled her eyes at him while trying to get back on track.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I can really work for you." Travis insisted to be part of her work.
"I don't have money to pay you." Jillyanna answered before getting two bottles of mineral water, giving him the extra one.
"You can pay me with a dinner date. How about that?" he whispered just enough for her to listen.
"Whatever."
"Jillyanna, we could really use him. He's got the quality we need in him. His body, vibe, expressions, everything!" Joven stated for her to understand his point.
"I can agree to that. A dinner date is fine as well." Jillyanna retorted before checking her dress and her make up.
"That's it. Let's get this done." Travis said excitedly but he had sent a message to Joven already.
DON'T LET HER KNOW WHO I AM.
