|JASON|“Well, for one, they were able to get their hands on materials that shouldn’t even exist.” My frown deepened as I said these words.No one except my family should know about those days of mine. How come someone was able to get those specific clips of me? How long have they been keeping tabs on me?“The malice the person has for me is deep. I can feel it.” I said, letting Bonnie collect her glasses from my hand and wear it once again.The thought that someone was holding a huge grudge against me, making them go as far as to blacken me in the eyes of the public, it didn’t sit well with me. At all. Why would someone hate me that much? I was totally lovable, wasn’t I?This particular person… I had to smother them completely before they got the chance to strike at me once again.“So, what would you like me to do?” Bonnie asked in a silvery tone, reaching for my shoulder seductively.I smiled. Now, she was speaking my language.I put my hand on top of her own and guided it to my ch

|ATHENA|“Pardon?” I said, checking if I heard her words correctly.Billie’s dark brown eyes were devoid of emotion as she looked at me and said, “I won’t repeat myself again. Don’t talk to me.”My lips parted in surprise at the sudden hostile treatment that I was receiving from Billie. I had never met her in person before, and I don’t remember us clashing back then in my day. So why was she being like this towards me?Billie was staring at me coldly, as if to say, ‘What are you still waiting for? Go on and leave.’Not wanting to force myself to stay where I wasn’t welcomed, I nodded my head and walked away from her. I stared at the other people already seated and I suddenly lost the courage to speak to any of them.I resigned to an empty corner in the room as I began to arrange my scattered thoughts. Was I repulsive in any way? I sniffed myself, checking if I smelled of alcohol. Years ago, whenever someone was rude to me, I would blame it on my appearance and smell. But I didn’t dr

|ATHENA|I internally facepalmed myself after hearing Colton’s words. This man… He really didn’t know when to stop.“Oh, really…?” Henry drawled with interest, his eyes glinting mischievously.“Of course, Athy has been in the business way longer than you. Way longer than any of you here.” Colton raised the pitch of his voice at the second half of his statement, talking to everyone present in the room.“When you speak to her, call her senior, okay? She may look young but she knows allllll about the—”“Colton.” I called out with a restrained tone, pinching the bridge of my nose in embarrassment.That was when the man realized that he had been going overboard and reeled his excitement back in. I couldn’t blame him for acting over the top, though. I was also excited to be back in the game, but super anxious at the same time.Colton was making a big deal out of the entire thing because he was going to get the bragging rights of supporting my name from the start when—if—the movie gets big f

|ATHENA|In acting, there was something known as bringing someone into a scene. And there was also something known as keeping someone out of a scene.Bringing someone into a scene simply meant acting in a way that the person you were acting with or against would believe in your acting so much that it would make them forget they were acting.It was the ability to bring out the true uniqueness of a character in the person you were acting with. Only really good actors could do that.As for keeping someone out of a scene; it was just as the name implied. It simply meant overshadowing the person you were acting with or against. Being so perfect that the other person felt overwhelmed by your acting.It was a good thing to be able to stun people with your acting, but a terrible thing for your acting to stun your co-actor very much in a scene where it wasn’t needed.I had to try my best not to fall into the latter category. Back in the day, I had a problem of overshadowing people. It was unco

|ATHENA|I frowned as I read the text. What did North want now? I quickly typed out a message and sent it to him in response.[Why?] - A[Cause I said so. Be there.] - N[It’s written in the contract that if I want to see you, you get into a fucking plane and fly over to where I am. Even if it’s in the middle of night and the destination is at the bottom of the ocean.] - N[Fuck you.] - A[I’d rather not.] - NI sighed and stopped responding to his messages. North was annoying like that. The cab stopped in front of my building, and as I stepped inside it, the receptionist on the floor greeted me.It was a surprising action as I’d been living here for the past month and she hasn’t said a single word to me. I responded to her greeting casually and she said:“Something came in for you while you were away.”I raised a brow in curiosity.“For me?” I questioned, taking a step towards her.The young girl nodded her head vigorously, then bent down for a second, only to stand up straight holdi
