Chapter 2 - Have Your Brain Been Fried?

Natalie Jun drunk up the rest of the wine before standing to her feet. She turned to Thomas Sun saying, ''I will be in my room. Don't wake me up unless is emergency''

Watching her silhouette move away from his sight, Thomas Sun sighed and murmured, ''You're still bothered by them after all these years, Nat. What do I do with you? should I just destroy them and make them disappear?''

Thomas Sun picked his phone from the side and made a call to his secretary, ''Secretary He, contact Director Zou and buy the rights to the new drama he is about to make. Make it discreet and also tell him Alice Jun must be the villain of the drama if he wants investments''

Thomas Sun hung up and smirked. If Natalie didn't want him to meddle, then he knew someone who would gladly meddle.

Forest Estates, District M.

''Look at that? Everything is fake. Am I the only one who can see through their act?'' Alice Jun turned off the TV in front of her and looked at her assistant who was busy painting her nails, ''Niania, how long are you going to take before you finish painting my nails?''

''Just wait for a little while'' Niania answered.

''Tell me, how do I deal with this green tea bitch? I really want to do something epic to her''

''Miss Alice, didn't your sister tell you to stay away from the Songs?''

''As if I will listen and do everything she tells me to. Who am I? I am Alice Jun. I am the most beautiful, the only person who ranks higher than me in terms of beauty is Natalie Jun. This small heart-shaped face, this pair of long legs are to die for'' Alice Jun said smugly. When it came to been narcissistic, Niania was sure no one could beat her lady boss here.

Alice Jun's phone buzzed and she looked at it and squirmed, ''that's my brother in law. Hello, big brother. Missed me?'' she said jokingly over the phone.

''Alice Jun, what do you say to joining the cast of 'Living With A Narcissistic Brother In Law'?''

''Big brother, are you helping me climb the ladder one after another?''

''Yes, but I also get money out of your skills so call it a win-win'' Thomas Sun said over the phone.

''Wait, isn't that the same drama that the green tea bitch and her slutty mother are taking part?''

''You are right and I am making you the villain''

''Yes, I love playing the villain''

''I will let someone send you the script by tomorrow. You know this is between us, right?''

''Don't worry brother in law, my sister will not get to know this'' Alice Jun hung up and looked at Niania, ''are you done yet, kiddo?''

''Yes''

''Good, because I want to dance'' Alice Jun said and starting shaking her body excitedly.

''What news did you receive?''

''Niania, I finally got the chance to act as the villain and guess who the female lead is? Green tea bitch. I as the villain get to bully her both on set and off set'' using her words as lyrics, Alice Jun danced to it.

''I get goosebumps when you give me that look, Miss. You are not planning to go extreme with your pranks on set do you?''

''Going extreme is my middle name. After all, those who are already shameless cannot be shamed and I am shamelessly shameless'' Alice Jun snapped her fingers against each other as she danced around the room.

….

Early the next day, Natalie Jun walked out of her room down the stairs with her messed up hair and saw Thomas Sun putting some dishes on the dining table.

''I feel like my head is spinning nonstop? Don't you anything for hangover?''

Thomas Sun sighed and shook his head, ''I knew you would be like this. You can't even finish a whole bottle of wine and yet you like drinking''

''I am honing my alcohol tolerance level''

''Sit down and drink some soup''

''You know me best, thanks'' Natalie Jun sat down and pulled the bowl closer to herself.

''Look at your hair, are you sure you are the same woman on the frame over there? Why do I feel that I've been scammed?'' Thomas Sun asked and Natalie Jun turned to look at their giant wedding portrait on the wall.

''What is wrong with my hair?'' she asked and used her hand to brush them into place adding, ''that picture is for show; this is originally who I am. Didn't you know that already?''

''I still can't get used to your unpredictable ways''

''You have said that more than 100 times in a day in the last five years we've known each other and in the last two weeks we've been married. Don't worry, I'm beautiful inside out'' she lifted the bowl and gulped down the soup moaning, ''mm, this is so good. Thomas Sun, you are the best. I almost fell for you''

''Finish eating and get ready. We are going shopping''

''Shopping?'' Natalie Jun turned to look at him.

''Didn't you say that you wanted to buy something for my mother?''

''Yes, thanks bestie. My life would have ended a long time ago if not for you. You know that in this world, you are the one I am most grateful to, right?''

''Off course, and I also owe you my life''

Lavile Shopping Centre.

Natalie Jun walked into the department store hand in hand with Thomas Sun. As they looked around, the manager walked over to them and greeted politely.

''Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Sun''

''My wife would like to pick a few things'' Thomas Sun pointed at Natalie Jun who had left side to go and look at a dress.

''Yes, sir. Mrs. Sun, we just received some new clothes made by Channel and every piece is their latest collection with only two pair in the whole world. Let me do the honour of introducing them to you'' the manager said, walking over to Natalie Jun.

''Sure'' Natalie replied and turned to Thomas Sun, ''darling do you mind waiting while I pick a few things?''

''Do your think'' Thomas Sun took a seat on the couch in the store and brought out his phone to play as he waited on Natalie Jun.

''Mrs. Sun, this purple dress will compliment your white skin''

''I will try this one'' Natalie Jun said as she looked at the purple gown that was totally her style. As she turned to go into the changing room, a black laced dress caught her attention making her stop in her strides.

''Wait, I will try that dress on first'' Natalie Jun said and walked over to pick the dress. As she touched the dress, ready to remove it, another hand snatched it right from her and a familiar voice exclaimed.

''Oh my god!! I finally found you. this is the dress I saw on the Miami runway and wanted to have it so badly. I can't believe that I actually found it here'' Mimi Song said.

''Don't you know is rude to snatch something from another person's hands?'' Natalie Jun asked as she turned to face Mimi Song who looked shocked to see her.

''Elder sister, I didn't know you were the one'' Mimi Song said as she pouted her lips innocently.

''Knowing whether is me or not doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want''

Mimi Song looked around her and saw a few couple also in the department store shopping. She stretched forth her hand saying, ''I'm sorry, if big sister wants the dress so badly, then I will give it up. After all, it is only a dress'' She finished saying and looked at Natalie Jun helplessly as if someone who had been bullied. Her actions easily made everyone present think that she was been bullied.

'Hey, have your brains being fried or what? I was the one who picked the dress first. Don't act as if I am making you give up on your birth right'' Natalie Jun retorted back.

Faking a smile, Mimi Song said, ''haven't seen each other for a long time, sister hasn't changed one bit. Still hostile with your words. Sister, mother is really worried about you. you left the house suddenly and we only heard of your marriage from the news. Everyone was so surprised. If you had told us, the family would have done well to represent you and not make it seem like you are alone''

Natalie Jun chuckled and looked at Mimi Song, ''you really know how to select your words. Speaking as if you care about me at the same time telling me about how I am the black sheep of the family. You really fit acting. So well that you forget reality even off set''

''Elder sister is misunderstanding me'' Mimi Song's eyes turned watery as she spoke. It was as if she was on the verge of crying.

''Stop calling me elder sister. I am not your family member. The last time I checked you and I don't even share blood and you can have the dress, I lost interest the moment I saw you''
