I walked out of the club with difficulty because I was dragging Alex behind me. As I went out, I noticed that the previous door attendants had already been repaid, and I felt a sense of satisfaction. The valet helped me drive my car to the front of the bar. Without much help, I was able to stuff the very drunk Alex at the back of my car. "Hey, drink some water,” I told her as I threw a half-drunk bottle of water to the back. “I don't want to drink it,” she said in a baby voice, and I burst out in laughter. “You are drunk, Alex. Drink the water,” I said in a convincing tone. “I am not drunk, I swear,” she dragged as she lay down. We got to my house, and a maid helped me bring her inside and into my bedroom, where I had to undress her and, with a lot of stress, take her into the shower. After that, I had to put on something more comfortable for her as she slept off. I did not forget what I wanted to talk to her about, but I had no choice but to wake her up and be sober. I became
Alex had finished looking at Ryan and I’s wedding photos, so we just talked till it was late. I realised that it was already evening when I was informed by one of the maids that Ryan had arrived. “Oh my gosh, is he here?” Alex asked excitedly, and I rolled my eyes at her and walked out the door. "Hey, wait for me!” she shouted as she ran to catch up to me. “I wonder how bitter Jeremiah and Lisa will feel when they realise that you ended up with someone two times better than him. I am pretty sure Lisa will try to snatch Ryan away too". Alex laughed, and I laughed along. At this point in my life, I could not just care about Lisa. By the time we got downstairs, Ryan was already in, looking handsome as always. “Oh my gosh!” Alex silently screamed as she looked at me excitedly. “Good evening, Mr. Blaqk. I am a huge fan of you.” She rambled to him as she left me behind and ran to his front while acting like a child who was just his idol. But Alex was never such a huge fan of Ryan; she
When I woke up, the scenes of the previous night flooded into my brain, even though it was not my first time. I was still so shy, but Ryan was not. That bastard had me up all night. I looked beside me, and sure enough, he had already gone to work. I collapsed on his soft bed tiredly, but I knew I had to leave. I clumsily grabbed my pyjamas and hurriedly put them on. I opened the door and took a peek outside to be sure that none of the maids were lurking in the corner. When I saw that the coast was clear, I quickly ran to my bedroom and shut the door. I put my back on the door as I heavily breathed in and out; it would have been so embarrassing. I thought of talking to Alex, but I knew that she would laugh at me. I felt so stupid for a moment; how could I listen to Alex? I sat down on the ground as I started to think about my next step—what would Ryan do to help me out? I was not worried about him going back on his promise; I just knew he wouldn't. As I was about to go to my bathroo
I began walking, and sure enough, Lisa just had to notice me. "Eliza,” she called out, but I chose to ignore him. "Cousin,” she called out smugly again; this time she walked faster with Jerimiah by her side, and they caught up to me. "Hello, Lisa." I greeted her with a fake smile, although the smile did turn real when I imagined the look on her face when she would find out that Charlote is my manager. “Cousin, why did you come to the pharmacy? Are you ill?” She said, looking worried, but it looked so fake. She was a professional actress, yet she did not know how to act. "Sure, I said, just to get her off my back. "Oh, what is this?” She asked as she took note of the drug in my hand, and without even giving me the chance to reply, she snatched the drug from my hands. When she realised what I had, she covered her mouth while looking shocked. She showed Jeremiah, who was standing beside her, and his gaze darkened. "Cousin, so I was right; you do have a sugar daddy,” she said while
The next day, I woke up very early, even earlier than Ryan usually wakes up. I had my bath, and I decided to dress according to the theme of the movie I was auditioning for. The name of the movie was Charade. It was a sci-fi thriller, and I was auditioning to be the first female lead. I did not yet know the full details of the story, but I had a little idea. I chose to wear a full-on leather outfit, a silver leather pant, and a white leather tank top. I also wore silver gloves on my hands. I packed my hair into two ponytails and put silver strips in them. I also made sure to use silver eyeliner, just to match that futuristic look. But by the time I was done, Charlote was also around, waiting for me downstairs, while Ryan had already left. I woke up an hour before him, yet he still got dressed and left for work before me. I walked downstairs slowly in my heels, and Charlote was waiting for me with an unfamiliar girl. “Goodmorning Charlote” I greeted her excitedly; it was going to b
The more I saw disgruntled actresses coming out of the audition room, the more I grew nervous, and it only got worse when I realised that it was going to be my turn after three more crises. I brought out my script, and I tried practicing some lines with my assistant. And then, just by my luck, I began questioning my every being. Why did I always have to bump into Lisa at every freaking place I went? It felt like I was in a book, and the stupid author kept on deliberately doing this just to cause conflict in his boring book. She walked in with her head held high with pride. Her manager, personal assistant, and other workers were trailing behind her. She attracted the attention of the other actresses. She was dressed for the part, even more than me. I was sure that it was my uncle who invested in that futuristic outfit for her; he would do anything for Lisa, not because he loved her more than anything, but because she was his pride. Because of her, he could brag around to his friends.
I rubbed my hands together nervously as I walked into the audition room. Once I got in, I first noticed the director in the middle; he was looking annoyed and frustrated, making me more nervous. The other people around him were the producer of the movie, his personal assistant, and some investors. “What’s your name?” he asked with furrowed eyebrows. “I am Eliza Greene,” I introduced myself. “I am auditioning for the part of Meredith." Meredith was the name of the female lead in the movie. When I said I was auditioning for the role of the female lead, the director and everyone else just had to look at me like I was a fool. “Young girl, I am seeing your bio here, and it does not say that you are an experienced actor. Are you sure you want to do this?” He asked, and if I were to be in a cartoon, black lines would have appeared above my forehead just to show how inwardly annoyed I was. Why did he ask for an introduction when he literally had my entire bio on his desk? “I am sure, sir
A few days had already passed, and it was finally Monday, the day that I would sign the contract and get my first acting job. I was beyond happy. I woke up very early, just like I did when I was going for the audition. I wore a more professional outfit this time around as we were going for the contract signing, and I did not want to make a bad impression. I wore a designer flared suit trouser and a navy blue blouse. I packed my hair in a low bun, and once I got ready, I went downstairs, and as usual, Madame Charlote and Samantha, my personal assistant, were already waiting for me. "Good,” Miss Charlote said, and I smiled. I was already used to her saying good, and at any little interval she found something to be nice. We all went to the company with my car. Ryan suggested that I get a bus to get ready and move around, but Charlote strictly objected to it. According to her, as a newbie actress, I was supposed to act down to earth, even if I was not. We arrived at the agency, and it
