“You know I could have just booked an uber right? You don’t have to go through all this trouble.” Brianne said while they are driving on her way home.
“It’s not trouble, it’s safer that I’m bringing you back.” He said and glance at her.
“Except for the fact that I’m also the one who the one who made you leave first and even made a scene.” She said and sighed and Nicholas just smiled and shook his head.
“I never really wanted to attend that party if not for my mom’s request and nagging on the phone, so, what you did even did me a bigger favor. But that doesn’t mean I did like what happened to you last night, I want to say sorry about that again.” Nicholas said while Brianne look at him.
“It’s not your fault,” she said. “Ahm, by the way about the articles that have been going on is there something that you want me to do or ask my agency to do? I know it’s bad for your reputation,” she said and Nicholas frowned and chuckled at what she said which made her frown too.
“Ruin my reputation? Or do you mean made me famous? I’m pretty famous these days, my secretary even said that some shows are asking me to make a guest on their show.” He said and could help but smile.
“I mean, that's a good thing but if you just read all the articles going around? I bet you will feel like throwing me out of your car right now.” She said and sighed and Nicholas chuckled hearing her uttering the words and thoughts.
BRIANNE could help but smile and laugh at the things that Nicholas would tell her throughout their drive to her place. As the car stops in front of the building of her apartment Nicholas went out of the car and open the door for her.
“Thank you.” She said as she has gone out. “If you need any help and please don’t hesitate to call me, thank you for bringing me home and also about that night.” She added and Nicholas smiled and nodded
“No need to thank me, but sure, I will sure you give you a call.” He spoke.
Brianne nodded her head and shakes Nicholas's hands and waited for him to drive away before getting inside the building when she heads the continuous sound of a camera shutter that made her look around trying to find where does it come from but, she didn’t find anything then her phone suddenly rang that she immediately answered as she walks inside the building.
“Hello?” She said answering the call.
“Hello, where are you?” Her manager said from the other line.
“I’m on the group floor of the building of our apartment. Why?” She asks confused as she presses the button of the elevator for the door to open.
“No, just stay there we need to go somewhere and this time this is happening!” Manager Clea sounded so thrilled.
“What?” Brianne asks confused but didn’t get an answer as the phone call ends. “What the…heck?” She said confused and walked to the lobby and sat on the chair waiting for Clea.
“Brianne~~,” Clea said as she run to Brianne looking too happy.
“You got a very real offer and I promise this time no more going back and stealing,” Clea said holding both of her hands.
“What Is it?” Brianne asks.
“You’re going to star in a movie!”

“As I was writing this story, I always have you in mind to be the one portraying the character.” The Director said to Brianne as they were sitting inside an office.
“Me? But why me ma’am?” She asks and glances at Clea. “Don’t get me wrong but, I’m not that famous. Yes, I was appearing in some movies and series but, I’m always just an extra or side character. So, why me?” She added.
“Sometimes those extras and side character is the one making the story even more interesting and helping the main character highlight the character they’re playing. I knew you because even though you have never been a main character in a movie or series when you appear in one, you always have the video and always show your best that makes you noticeable to the fans.” The lady director answered her.
Brianne eyes starts to tear up as she smiled at her trying to stop herself from crying.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Did I say something bad?” The director worriedly asks as she caresses Brianne's arm in concern.
“No,” Brianne said and quickly wipe her tears, “It’s just it felt good hearing someone appreciate my work, even if they’re not that big. Thank you, ma’am.” She said and hug the director.
“They’re might not be big but they are remarkable”

“Ms. Raye this will be your dressing room, but you can stay in the director’s room for a little while because they have a little more time setting up your bed and the vanities.” The assistant said and Brianne look at her a little stunned but couldn’t contain her smile. “If you need anything, just tell one of the staff and about the food, it will be delivered to your dressing room Ms.” She added.
“O-okay, thank you very much,” Brianne said and the assistant smiled and nodded her head at her, and left. “My dressing room.” She said as she stared at the name posted on the door of the room.
“Are you happy?” Her manager asks.
“So much,” She said and look at her. “I never thought I will have this kind of opportunity, I thought I will always be stuck being an extra and doing my make-up under a tree or in the parking lot.” She said a tear escaping from her eyes.
“Just like what I always say, you deserve every bit of this blessing Brianne,” Clea said and hugged her from the side. “So, shall we? Let’s kick some Sabrina.” She added and smirked that made Brianne chuckle and shakes her head as she followed her walking away.

“WHAT IS THIS? DO YOU NOT VALUE YOUR LIFE AND NOT LISTEN TO MY ORDER?” A man shouted and throw a glass vase on the floor that got shattered into thousands of pieces.
“S-sir, I did what you ask me to do I made sure that every brand that offers work to Ms. Raye got canceled. I don’t know how she got the project.” The secretary answered.
“YOU DIDN’T KNOW? SHE GOT THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO LET THAT HAPPEN!” the old man should and grab his collar. “YOU STUPID AND INCOMPETENT!” the old man shouted again and shove the man away making him stumble backward and nearly making him fall on his butt. “I will not let that little bitch get whatever she wants, she already painted her faith the day she made a stupid decision to me.”
Third Person POV “Are they even serious about casting her as the main role?” Sabrina complains as she gets in the elevator of the company crossing her arms in front of her chest. “I couldn’t really get any more detail than that but there is a rumor that the writer really has her in mind while creating the main character and the story.” Her manager said the elevator is ascending. “Seriously why does people starting to lower their taste for that witch.” Sabrina said when the elevator door suddenly opens. “Hi, Vander.” she said and wink at him. He smiles at her and steps inside the elevator with his manager following him. “Hi, how have you been?” She asks. “I’m doing great,” Vander replied and smile at her again. “How was the shooting of your new project?” She asks again. “I bet it was exhausting, right?” Sabrina said and tried to get close to Vander when his manager cleared her throat. “Oh Hi, Francia” Sabrina said and smiled at her and raised her eyebrow at her. “Hi,” Francia gr
Third Person POV “Ms. Raye, how have you been? It’s been a long time isn’t it?” The old man standing beside the Director said with a wicked smile displayed on the corner of his lips. Brianne stared at him and look at Ms, Hazon, and smiled before looking at the old man again and smiling. “Sorry, but do I know you?” he said that making the Director smirk but immediately tried to hide it and cleared her throat. “Oh, I guess you’re a very forgetful young lady. Do you want me to remind you how did we first meet?” The old man asks with a warning in the tone of his voice as he stares at her with his hands on his waist. “Sure sir, I would love to know and I think they would love to know too,” Brianne said bravely looking directly into his eyes. Brianne's heart is pounding so fast in nervousness but she will not let this fear take everything away from her again, this time she will fight for what she deserves. “You’re a very brave girl, very brave aren’t you?” Mr. Lazani said smiling arrog
