ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY Chapter 263 - Awkward misunderstanding.

Xie Ming and Song Xiner existed Tang Nian's office after bidding farewell to her and went downstairs to wait for the bus. It's almost time when the bus should be arriving.

The bus was supposed to pick them from the Global World and will pick other artists who were on the way. There is one bus for the main cast and the other bus will have other actors and staff.

On the second day of the workshop, the day they will suppose to come back, they will have their script reading. Director Han wanted to arrange the script reading in the place of the workshop because it will lighten the mood and will also make artists familiar with the countryside environment

As the movie is set in historical times, then their shooting will be mostly be done in the countryside, so they need to get used to it and should familiarize themselves with the environment.

They both came down from the elevator when Xie Ming got a call from Xu Lan. She glanced at Song Xiner and picked it up, " Hello"

" We are almost there. Be ready and keep your luggage with yourself. So that we can go after you board the bus." Xu Lan said to her as she instructed the driver to take a right.

Xie Ming understood that they were around the corner, so she gestured Song Xiner to hurry up. She does not want them to wait for her and that's why she didn't delay anymore and walked outside.

" Where is your luggage?" Song Xiner asked Xie Ming when she saw her walking outside empty-handed. She had thought that Xie Ming must have left her luggage on the reception but she was walking away like this.

She has heard from Tang Nian and she knows that she has passed the audition in the single go and was a newbie. She was hesitant at first thinking that Xie Ming was new and has no experience. She was afraid that she won't be able to perform well and got selected because of her luck.

But she still treated her politely as she was her assistant and she don't want to judge people recklessly. She belive Tang Nian and that she will not pick people randomly.

Xie Ming stopped in her tracks and looked at Song Xiner in confusion, " Luggage? Ah, it's in my car outside." she said casually.

Song Xiner was surprised at first but didn't react much. It's normal to have a car with anyone, so she just nodded and went along with her. After working for almost a year, she also managed to pay her student loan and managed to buy a small car for herself.

Song Xiner is only 23year old girl who started working in the Global world as an intern but later started her training to work as an official employee there.

She was from a middle-class family who lives alone in this city far from her hometown. Because of her college, she had to stay here in a dorm and after that, she managed to rent a room for herself at a cheaper price. 

Her salary went in paying off her student loans and it was only recently that she managed to buy a small car as it is difficult to find a taxi or bus at night and not safe either.

Buying a car makes her feel independent and like she has achieved something in her life. At first, she used to wear normal clothes like jeans and a top or does not care about her clothes.

In the Global world there is no dress code, so employees can wear comfortably. But Tang Nian told her to look after herself and also make some effort while dressing up because this not only makes us look good but also gives us a sense of confidence.

She had learned a lot from Tang Nian and when in a  meeting she was mocked for her cheap and flat fashion sense, after that she started to look after style and her makeup. If she has to assist or manage an artist, then she needs to look like to do so.

Before managing anyone else, she needs to manage herself.

Song Xiner and Xie Ming are both around the same age and she had heard that Xie Ming came for the interview as an intern at Global World first. But because Tang Nian insisted her to give an audition for this movie, she passed this one and get selected as the second female lead.

So she was considering Xie Ming as her or maybe inexperienced that her because she at least has worked around almost a year. She was feeling responsible for Xie Ming and wanted to make her successful and wanted to help her as much as she can.

She assumed that Xie Ming also came from a humble background like hers because her clothes are not flashy but very casual. But because she was beautiful, she looked good in everything.

She looked at Xie Ming and followed her out to get her luggage out. She was assuming that she might have a small car or maybe a normal one because people from middle-class families cannot afford many luxuries.

When they walked out of the office. Song Xiner looked around but didn't notice any car, only black color Audi was parked across the street which she ignored. She didn't even think that this could be her car.

As she has a certain assumption about Xie Ming, so she looked around but didn't see any small car which could be hers. She turned to look at Xie Ming and asked in confusion, " Where is your car? Did you park somewhere else?" she asked while looking around.

Xie Ming looked at Song Xiner but didn't reply to anything. She simply called the driver, " You can bring my luggage at the entrance. Yes, the bus is about to come. " she talked on the phone.

Song Xiner glanced at Xie Ming with a complicated expression. She didn't know that someone came with Xie Ming. 

" Is he your brother?" she asked in a low voice. She wanted to say boyfriend, but she changed it to brother.

Because it will be embarrassing if she was wrong and does not want to assume such things casually.

Xie Ming didn't say anything and just shook her head in denial. Song Xiner saw her reacting distantly so she didn't press it further.

Xie Ming didn't look willing to talk about things, so she didn't say anything and waited for her luggage to arrive.

After a while, a young man came with a trolley bag and a small bag at hand and walked towards them. As the car was just across the street, he brought her luggage rather than turning the whole car.

But Song Xiner saw that the guy got off the expensive and luxurious Audi and was walking towards them. She glanced at Xie Ming with a complicated gaze.

She thought that he was her boyfriend but he does not look like that he owned that car. She pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

" Miss, this is your luggage." the driver placed the luggage near Xie Ming's leg.

Xie Ming smiled at him and said, " You can go home now. I will be fine. You don't need to wait." 

The driver shook his head and said, " It's okay I can wait. I will only leave after seeing you board the bus because I have to report it further." 

Xie Ming didn't say anything and just nodded lightly.

The driver went back to the car while Song Xiner just wanted him going back.

" Miss? What Miss?" she was confused about the way that man treated Xie Ming. She thought it was her boyfriend or brother but why Miss?

Xie Ming turned to Song Xiener and saw her complicated gaze and said, " He was my driver. My family was worried about me, so they asked him to see me boarding the bus and then leave."

She didn't mention Liwei or her husband because she knows that Song Xiner does not know about anything at this moment. So she just casually said family instead of husband.

Because Liwei was her family who cared about her a lot. This way she didn't lie either. It was true that he was her family.

Song Xiner laughed awkwardly and said, " Oh" she had thought that XIe mIng from a humble background but now it does not seem so. She just nodded and cursed herself for assuming useless stuff.

Even after such training, she couldn't leave her noisy personality. The only problem with her is being noisy. She thinks too much about things and many times ends up messing the situation.

Xie Ming saw Song Xiner's expression which looked more uncomfortable and awkward. She didn't mind her words so she didn't say anything and just stood there waiting for the bus.
