The elevator doors opened with a ding. Faye stood inside the elevator with her hair dripping wet. She only realized that her hairdryer had broken after she washed her hair, so she was rushing downstairs to ask the reception for a new one.
Much to her surprise, she witnessed Michael placing a container of soup on the lid of a bin the moment the elevator doors opened. It seemed like he was about to discard it.
Faye’s eyes lit up when she saw the soup; she hadn’t had a good meal since she touched down in Africa, and the town they were in had no restaurants with cuisine from her home country.
It was impossible for her to get a taste of home, and it wasn’t like the production team could bring a chef over. After eating over half a month’s worth of pilaf and McDonald’s, they were close to being sick from the food.
Michael had already entered the elevator by then. As he selected his floor, he said, “You can have it. Eat it while it’s still hot. It’s chicken soup.”
He’s giving it to me?
Faye was ecstatic. Taylor actually gave her some soup! Wait a minute, this wasn’t just a container of soup—she could leverage this to create some huge news!
This container of soup had been given to her by the Adonis known as Taylor!
Faye had been constantly trying to get a chance to get into a scandal with either Taylor or Harry during their filming here, but both men and the director stayed on the VIP floor of the hotel; one would need a key card to enter. She couldn’t get access with her status as an extra, so she never got the chance to stir up trouble. This container of soup was practically an opportunity that had fallen from the heavens!
Faye brought the soup back to her room; an aromatic scent wafted from the container when she opened it. Indeed, the container was filled with delicious-smelling chicken soup. She was so hungry that she was drooling, but she still tamped down on that voracious desire of hers.
She quickly blow-dried her hair and carefully put her makeup on before taking a nice selfie of herself while holding the container of soup, making sure that her face and the soup were clearly shown in the photo.
She then used a photo editing app to airbrush her blemishes and edited the photo. After half an hour of editing, she even managed to nearly remove all traces of texture on the chunks of chicken floating in the soup. With that, she uploaded the heavily-edited photo onto her Twitter and Instagram stories.
As she sipped on the soup, she typed out a caption.
‘Thank you so much for the chicken soup, Taylor. Everyone, please take good care of yourself while filming! Sending hearts to you guys!’
She then tagged every major account that was related to the ‘War Dragon’ movie, including but not limited to Taylor’s official account, Harry’s, the official account for ‘War Dragon’ promotions, Nicole’s, Richard’s, and the official fanclub account for Taylor.
She wished for nothing more than to let the world know that Taylor had given her some soup; she wanted to shock all the staff and actors in the production team as well!
That night, the entire ‘War Dragon’ production team in Africa, as well as the Harpers, Edwards, and Taylor’s fans found out that Taylor had somehow given a young, untrained model some soup.
Was there a mistake? Did this iconic man have a stroke or something?!
When Faye woke up the next day, she saw that she had made the headlines. As expected, getting on the front pages was a matter of time by tying herself to a handsome, acclaimed man.
Taylor’s fans were frothing. Why did their idol give some soup to a young bimbo in the middle of the night?!
Due to the time difference between Africa and their home country, the photo seemed suggestive since it was posted at night. However, it was daytime in their home country, so it kept getting onto the trending searches.
Michael had been so busy shooting his parts that he didn’t notice Faye leeching off him for fame. The production team was on full throttle; even their bathroom breaks were timed down to the second as they squeezed every bit of time they could to rush through filming so that they could fly home earlier. He really couldn’t afford to be distracted.
