Hollywood What If
Chapter 447

Chapter 447

"I cooked too much..."

Scarlett muttered to herself while looking at the dish she had prepared. She made Fettuccine Alfredo because she remembered that she had promised Kazir she would cook it for him later... Well, she didn't exactly promise anything, but she just wanted to prove to Kazir that she could cook.

She had decided to practice making the dish to ensure she wouldn't mess it up later. However, she didn't expect that the amount she prepared would be far too much for her to eat alone.

Scarlett was an actress, and she had to maintain her weight. That was one of the many curses actresses usually suffered from. Hollywood was cruel to women and had so many expectations regarding their appearance.

"Geez, what to do? I already ate my share, and I can't eat everything on my own... It'd be a waste to throw it out."

She touched her flat stomach... She had to brainwash herself into thinking she was full. Otherwise, she might gain a few pounds if she ate any more.

She recalled the times when Kazir took her to restaurants. She smiled. Even though Kazir was serious most of the time, he encouraged Scarlett to eat whatever she wanted. He said eating a delicious meal was a luxury that everyone should experience.

In fact, while filming Batman Begins, Kazir had told Scarlett that she didn't need to worry about eating because she would still look beautiful no matter what.

"...That guy. He just said it without any hesitation. He didn't even know I was blushing the whole time." She sighed, feeling a bit happy.

Anyway, she kept thinking about Kazir and couldn't help herself. Perhaps she was love-struck. Kazir was a caring person, the only man who told her that eating until she was full was totally fine.

"I wonder what he's doing right now?"

Scarlett sat down, looking at the Fettuccine Alfredo that was getting colder by the minute.

"Knowing Kazir, he's probably in the editing room at Warner Brothers. He's been spending most of his time editing the movie. He probably eats instant noodles and pizza all the time... That's so unhealthy."

Scarlett was spot on. She wasn't wrong. The whole time Kazir was in the editing room, he had been editing the movie and eating instant noodles and pizza. He even ate donuts for sugar.

"Hm."

She bit her lip and looked at her watch. It was 8:20 p.m.

"He's still awake, right?"

She asked herself.

"Should I? I mean... I have kind intentions, but... Really? Should I go there? Like, I know he needs nutritious food. So..."

After a few minutes of inner monologue, Scarlett was in turmoil.

In the end, she decided to follow her heart. She reheated the pasta, grabbed her car key, wore sunglasses, and drove to Warner Brothers.

She knew what room Kazir stayed in since she had visited there thrice for dubbing lines.

As expected, rush hour traffic hit when Scarlett got in her car.

She was so sad when she finally reached Warner Brothers because the pasta had already gone cold.

Anyway, there might be a microwave she could use.

She spoke to the receptionist, and the receptionist let her in. She stopped in front of the elevator and pressed the button.

"Gosh, Scarlett, what are you doing to yourself?"

While waiting for the elevator, embarrassment struck her, and she started questioning herself about what she was doing.

She touched her cheeks... Then the elevator doors opened, and Kazir was inside.

"Scarlett?"

"K-Kazir?"

She stiffened and squealed.

"Why are you here?"

"I—uh, I cooked too much pasta, so I decided to give you the remaining share so it won't go to waste!" she said quickly, like she was rapping. She shoved the lunch box into Kazir's hands. ɽаＮȎβÊ𝐬

"Thank you, I appreciate it." Kazir was surprised at first. He accepted the lunch box and took a look at it.

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

"Then, I guess I'll leave now—"

Growl~

It was a long stomach grumble. The sound came from Scarlett's stomach, revealing the truth that she was still hungry.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the elevator except the two of them.

Still, it was embarrassing for Scarlett.

Kazir remained silent and looked at Scarlett, who was blushing and pouting. Her sunglasses couldn't hide it. She looked like she was going to cry at any moment and she looked adorable... She wanted to slap herself, though, because what happened was just too embarrassing.

"How about we share? This food is too much for one person."

Kazir offered, trying to stop himself from laughing.

"Yes, let's eat together," she replied, her face still blushing.

Warner Brothers had a cafeteria downstairs. Kazir asked for plates and utensils from the canteen. The two of them found a microwave and reheated the pasta.

"You need to eat to maintain a healthy body."

"Thanks."

"Nah, I should be the one thanking you. This dish is delicious. I've only been eating noodles and pizza this week, so this whatever Alfredo is a game changer."

"Fettuccine Alfredo."

"Yeah, yeah."

The two laughed and finished eating. They chatted for a while before wrapping up their meeting.

"It's cold outside, use my jacket."

Scarlett was surprised when Kazir put his jacket around her shoulders. She glanced at Kazir, who acted as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

"You really know how to make a woman's heart beat faster," she whispered under her breath.

"Did you say something?"

"Nope."

She sighed.

The two walked to the parking lot, where Scarlett's car was parked.

"Have a safe drive."

"I will... Hey," Scarlett stopped walking and turned around. She looked at Kazir seriously.

"Do you remember the bet we made in Iceland?"

"...Yeah, I remember that." Kazir lied. He didn't remember it at all, he just recalled it now.

"Since I won that bet, you have to do what I say, right?"

"Yeah, I promised."

Scarlett smirked.

"I want you to take me seriously. Don't act like you don't know what's going on. Kazir, you're better than this."

"..."

Kazir didn't know what to say.

Scarlett got in her car and drove away, leaving Kazir speechless.

"...She got me."
