That's all for today in BBC entertainment " . This is Lisa signing off . See you tomorrow , same time same place . Till then , take care good night . "

As soon as the camera lights went off , all staff members started chattering . They gathered around and enquired from se nior news anchor , Gracy Wilson about her brother's affair .

Gracy was Steve's elder sis ter as well as top anchor for BBC Entertainment .

" Ma'am he's your brother , he must have told you about his relationship . Please tell us if this is true . Or is it a mere publicity stunt . " they said . Gracy was about to answer , that's when someone said , " Let me tell you that these actors are like this , they don't have a character .

They change their girlfriends regularly and they can do anything for publicity " .

Gracy frowned and went furi ous upon listening to him .

She would have lost her tem per if an assistant had not come to call her . " Chief editor has called you to his room , " he informed her .

Gracy walked away murmuring to herself .

As soon as she entered the room , again she was asked the same thing , " Is this true ? "

She was very much annoyed by what happened out there but somehow controlled her anger and said " I have no idea about this , it can be a publicity gimmick purposely done by the production house to promote his next film . Don't you know how our profession works ? I don't think this makes any sense . Maybe it's just a buff created by a re porter . " She tried to justify herself and left .

She didn't know about what was happening in her brother's life . Whatever he was upto . It was not like that he had not dated before but this time things were not the usual .

Grace was even unaware of the incident that took place 7km away from her office .

While watching Steve's video on her phone , Anna tells her sister , " look , I knew it , I knew it so well that Steve will only win the best actor award this time . " but you ! you never believed me .

Her sister , who was sitting at the dining table , took a bite of the sandwich and responded , " okay ! okay , I believe you , Anna ! Are you happy now ?

That's when Anna remembered , " my dear Christina , you were about to get an appointment letter from the Mount Sinai hospital . Did you get it ? When is the joining date ?

" I've got the appointment letter , Anna . But I had aword with the head of the Neuro department and he has asked me to come to the hospital today and meet the staff members and director at 10:00 AM . She looked at her wrist watch and scre amed , " oh damn ! It's already 10. Okay , Anna , I gotta go , see you in the evening . Today it's your turn to do the dishes " . Christina kept the half eaten sandwich on the plate and left for the hospital in a hurry .

When Christina reached the hospital , she saw a crowd gathered outside . She tried to get across them , but failed . She overheard some people talking about Steve Wilson being present inside the hospital for a shoot . " He's got some fab acting skills , have you watched his latest work ? " exclaimed one .

" Wow , he's so handsome ya . " says a nurse standing right beside .

As Christina was stuck in the crowd , she couldn't spot the actor however she felt extremely agitated with this whole commotion .

Christina was highly pissed because about everything happening on her first visit to her place of work and with the same mood she approached a security guard nearby and asked , " could you please tell me the way to Dr. David Bell's office ? " And if could please guide me to an alternative entryway to the building ?

The guard was busy with the celebrity thing going on .. and didn't bother to answer . Christina gave him a stern look , upon which " actually ma'am this parti cular area has been reserved for the shooting crew , you can go through the back door " . Christina walked away from there , murmuring , " Is this a place for shooting ? " What kind of a hospital is this , which allows shooting in their premises ? And this Steve Wilson .. my God ! pe ople are crazy about him . I fail to understand why ? He is not even good with his skills . But then what can I say ? One such crazy fan is sitting right in my house .

She reaches the backdoor while muttering to herself , but again comes across another set of bodyguards . This makes Christina extremely annoyed . She tries to figure out possibilities to get in side and sees a crew person standing right next to a door . She starts walking towards the door hoping to make her way through , However the same guy interrupts her , " sorry miss , you're not allowed to go in " he warned . She stepped aside . Another crew member nearby told her not to in tervene in the shoot . To which she replied , appointment " I am a doctor and I have an appointment with Dr. David Bell . The security guard at the front asked me to go in from here .

The crew member upon hearing this seemed a little taken aback however he informed Christina that she could not go inside as per strict orders from the director and the lead actor for not allowing anyone to get into the building .

Christina realises that it's a waste of time arguing to get in and stands aside . After some time , the crew person senses the annoyance on Christina's face and allows her to go inside . " Ma'am I was following my director's order . " He apologetically explained . He insisted she switch off her phone and warned about the camera setup in side .

She went inside and found that the ward had been tur ned into a movie set . As she was walking fur ther , she bumped into a nurse . " Oh . I'm so sorry . Can you please lead me the way to Dr. David's cabin ? Everybody here is talking about Steve and you are looking for Dr. David ? The nurse said with a mischievous smile .

Christina annoyingly said , I am a doctor and have an appointment with Dr. David . " After knowing that she's a doctor , the nurse apologized and said , " this ward is sealed for 2 hours due to the shoot ma'am . ' Christina could do nothing but smile . ( In a sarcastic way )

She was very irritated by the atmosphere she was in . She turned around and noticed some Production crew members were setting up the cameras and some junior artists were busy reading their scripts . " So weird ! These people have turned the hos pital into a mess , " she tho ught . That's when a crew member called on her to maintain distance from the cameras . Enraged in anger she hurried out towards the corridor . And didn't even notice a cable . The cable got entan gled to her feet , She trip ped and was about to fall when someone got hold of her .

" Hey , are you fine ? He inquired . But Christina was so lost in his glistening deep - set brown eyes leading to a sharp - ed ged nose , and a pair of pink plum lips , a set of dimples enhancing his smile and stubble beard complementing his face and jawline . Christina was mesmerized by this gentlemen holding her .

Yes , so was the charm of the superstar Steve Wilson , ir resistible .

Steve snapped his fingers in front of her eyes , but all in vain .

He was habitual of this kind of behavior from his fans but this girl was something different for him . He got intrigued by her gle aming thoughtful grey eyes , glancing down to her delicate and glossy lips . A bright oval face with a few strands of curled hair swirling around her broad forehead .

In that moment if anyone would have seen them like this , they would have definitely assumed them to be madly in love . The way Christina's eyes rested on him in admiration and the way Steve held on to her , it was so evident .

However , in reality , Apart from these two , there was a third person who utilised the situation conveniently and thought of them to be lovers sharing intense eye contact . She took advantage of the situation and clicked some pictures of them . She then tried to es cape so that she would not get caught , but got hit by a chair . She somehow managed to run away without getting noti ced . This was breaking news she thought .

By then , Christina was back in her senses and spoke softly , " umm . I am fine , thank you ! "

" Sir , the shot is ready . " An assistant informed him and urged him to head towards the shooting spot . Steve walked past her , reading the script . And Christina froze until a shooting staff requested her to move out of the perimeter .

What does the future hold for them ? Will this meeting lead to a new friendship ?
