Chapter 2117
The phone buzzed on the table. It was her agent, Doris, calling.
"Hey, Athena, where did you crash last night? You're not at home." Athena struggled to prop herself up and started brushing her teeth.
"I was at a hotel with Tyler."
There was a brief silence on the other end, and then Doris asked incredulously, "Wait, do you mean what I think you mean?"
"Yeah."
"Athena, have you lost your mind? You're working on his script right now. If you upset him, he could totally blacklist you! We're not exactly A-list yet, but we're earning good money. Don't mess up your career path. I heard Tyler's a player with a ton of industry gossip. If you get involved, he won't appreciate it."
Athena's cheeks flushed slightly as she continued her morning routine, replying to Doris.
"He said he'd take responsibility."
Doris thought she misheard. "He actually said that?"
"Yeah, and he said I'm his girlfriend now."
Doris let out a sigh of relief but was still skeptical. Tyler wasn't known for committing to anyone.noveldrama
Athena had always maintained a clean reputation. While she wasn't a household name, people did recognize her face, and she had never been involved in any major scandals. She was dedicated to her craft.
Doris had known for a while that Athena had a secret crush on Tyler, and it had been going on for quite some time. For the past two years, she had quietly gathered any news related to Tyler, but it was always about his flings with others.
Most women would have given up by now. A player like Tyler hardly seemed worth the trouble, but Athena was stubbornly infatuated, convinced she could be the one to change him.
A lot of women think they can save someone or make them change, but it's usually an illusion.
Still, Doris didn't bother to intervene. If Tyler and Athena did end up together, Athena's career could really take off.
And with that, Doris's own commission would rise too.
Athena finished getting ready, listening as Doris continued her rant.
"You better be careful. The boss seems serious this time. Anna's cozying up to
him, and she doesn't like you. You might have a rough time ahead."
Athena worked for WAJA Media, and the boss, Jacob, had made some unwanted advances last night. She had managed to dodge him by hooking up with Tyler instead, partly to avoid Jacob and partly to fulfill her own desires.
She had wanted to get involved with Tyler for ages, but the opportunity had never presented itself until now.
"Doris, I got it. I'm heading to the set now."
Doris sighed, her voice tinged with worry.
"And you know Jacob wants to
overget
introduce Anna to Tyler, right? Didn't you hear Anna talking about Tyler's supposed to visit the set today, so don't clash with her."
After all, who knew if Tyler was serious about that "girlfriend" line? "Yeah, I know."
Athena finished her routine, dressed, and headed to the set.
She arrived early. Anna, the lead actress, was known for her diva behavior and usually showed up at least half an hour late, making the whole crew wait.
Athena was a supporting actress, not very prominent, but today she had scenes with the lead.
With Anna still absent, Athena sat quietly on a chair, script in hand, rehearsing her lines.
Anna eventually arrived an hour late, but no one, not even the director dared to comment. Anna was a big name WAJA Media's current cash cow, and the company showered her with attention. '
Anna's gaze landed on Athena, and she walked over, nudging her with her foot.
"Didn't you see me coming? Get up and give me your seat."
Everyone else just looked at Athena like she should have known better.
It was Athena's chair, but no one cared about that.
She stood up slowly, watching as Anna took her place with an air of entitlement, joking with the director.
"Isn't Tyler supposed to be here? Where is he?"
"He'll be here soon. You should get your makeup done and start the scene."
Anna rolled her eyes, annoyed that she had gone to the trouble of doing her own makeup so perfectly, thinking Tyler had already arrived.
What do you think?
