Chapter 123: You don’t trust me?
"Congratulations to everyone!" the music video director stood from the end of the long table while holding a glass of beer. "Because of everyone’s effort and hard work, this shoot went smoothly without a hitch. Especially to Anton and our new friend, Filomena, for doing a great job! Let’s cheer for another hit song and, for sure, a viral music video."
Everyone applauded the director’s little speech, taking their glasses to toast with him. Even those who took the other tables clapped happily. The look on their faces proved that everyone was in a great mood for having an easy day today.
Usually, music videos were shot for a whole day. However, because Anton and Fil did a great job, the stress was lower than expected. Not that they expected anything from Fil, but more like they didn’t expect much from Anton. Anton might be a talented musician, but he could also be so hard to work with because of his temperament. Yet, today, Anton was the one who suggested shooting his scenes so he and Fil could finish at the same time. What was even more surprising was that he didn’t intentionally screw up his scenes.
"Just so you know, Fil is like my bestie!" Anton gloated to the people at the same table as him. "She listens to all of my songs and even memorizes them! She’s like a fan, but much better!"
A grin turned up on his face, turning his head to Fil, who sat right beside him. "Good job, Bestie. Can you see everyone? They’re so happy because of you."
"Or they are happy because you didn’t throw a tantrum," Fil humored, earning some laughs from the staff at the table. "Right?"
"Hey!" Anton hissed. "I never throw a tantrum. And why are you suddenly taking her side?"
"If you want them to take your side without conditions, don’t make things hard for them," Fil scolded, facing the staff who were just smiling at the two of them. "If you work with him again and he starts acting up, I can tell you a secret or two, so he behaves."
"You don’t know my secret." Anton leaned his face closer to Fil. "Or did you get me investigated?"
