The meeting, at least from Will's perspective, was actually quite dull for the most part. About halfway through it, a man and woman walked in, but both quietly made their way to different seats, managing to not draw a lot of attention. Will didn't recognize either of them, and simply assumed that both were staff members who were to be living in the house, along with the stars and other staff. Neither look particularly exciting anyway, the male looking dull and the woman having absolutely zero presence about her- perfect for an assistant, perhaps, but not exactly the actor's type. He waits as the meeting drags on, elongated by Robert's random tangents and such- the guy seems nearly as full of it as Chandler, though Will can't decide whether he likes or dislikes the guy. At the very least, he knows how to command attention, even if it is in a rather strange way. One part of the meeting, though, is especially interesting to him- though the reaction it draws out of Candelaria is what makes it the most amusing. Whilst detailing their roles and how they are to go about preparing for them, Mr. Mann explains how Will's character is to interact with Candelaria's.

"And you, Candelaria, with the beautiful name, you are essentially playing yourself, am I correct? Bianca, your character, has strong feelings for Joseph - William Hemley, that's you, you're Joseph. You're going to deny it, of course, but the two of you are best friends, and you're always calling him, asking him to hang out with you. For once, Joseph gets to friend zone the one girl who actually has feelings for him, meaning, he's completely oblivious to her feelings and is always nice to you, always going to be with you when you're 'bored' or 'hungry.' The two of you, start buddying up. The two of you are going to be inseparable."

Will's eyebrows shoot up at this, knowing that Candlesticks isn't going to like it one bit- she isn't exactly broken up about their little fling, but seems to be the sort to hold a grudge all the same. He probably should have seen that coming from the get go, but had been too busy admiring her curves to think about any aftermath- that tends to be the case, unfortunately. The two of us? Inseparable? Oh, this is going to be a tad bit interesting, isn't it? William muses with a smirk as his gaze dances over towards Candelaria who, predictably, doesn't exactly seem to be the happiest with this arrangement. Well, she put on a smile and acted like she didn't mind a slice, but he can guess better than that. For the moment, though, the young man is distracted once more as the name of his character comes off the tongue of Robert once more, this time in regards to a different female cast member- one who he finds just a tad bit sexier.

"But not completely inseparable... Joseph is in love with Veronica, remember? You gotta feel sorry for the guy. He's actually going to catch Veronica and Ryder in the act; I know, it sucks. Your task, William, is to practice being in love with Zara. I don't see how that would be hard for you, the girl's gorgeous, but just tell me how the chemistry goes later."

With another smirk, William catches Zara's eye and winks at her before sending his attention back to Robert. Though he may be a flirt and such, he does at least take his job seriously- he isn't in it entirely for the money and the girls, after all. Most find it something of a relief that he can act so seriously in regards to his work, because it makes things run a lot smoother than how it would go if he acted typically while on the job. Even Will has some level of professionalism, even if the rules are ones he decided upon on his own.

As the meeting is adjourned, for the cast at least, William saunters out of the door, second or third to leave the spacious office room, and therefore overhearing no part of the little staff meeting, though he might have been intrigued if he had heard it. Instead, he imagines that they are talking about some sort of boring technical stuff that he, honestly, doesn't give a flying fuck about. As long as the show goes on, he's fine not knowing every tiniest detail. He doesn't mean to follow Candelaria, to be honest, but after going into the fridge and grabbing a drink, his next decision is to go outside for a breath of fresh air. Well, fresh as it can be in any heavily populated area. The sea breeze is always welcome, regardless. There, he finds the pretty latina, standing all by her lonesome.

"Don't get too excited 'bout getting to work with me again, Candlesticks," he comments sarcastically, just loud enough for her to hear him while he leans against the side of the porch/deck.
