Bab 4: STARLET

Why did Yanarym even let herself lose the temptation in the first place? Well, that first experience was like how she expected it, it was great! And Alvan was very good at it… no! She could sleep with another man, why Alvan?! Why-second male lead?!

"Guide-sama! You should have warned me." Yanarym asked depressingly.

Guide-sama: "You did not ask me."

The shoot ended without any contact from Yanarym. Before he knew it, she had already left the set. Frustrated, Alvan immediately went home to ask for his brother's help regarding the mysterious woman.

After all that intimacy they had shared, she didn't even leave her contact details for him. If not only did they meet each other again at the shoot, he would have thought it was just a dream—everything that had happened between them and that she was just his most perfect illusion.

When Alvan asked the staff about her, he discovered that she was just a mere actress living off from minor roles—still unknown in the industry. He had the idea yet, he still wanted her. He said it before, and he will say it again, as long as she doesn't ask for more than he could give. He will use her body until he gets tired of it.

Alvan after he was done on his schedule for the day he rushed to his older brother's penthouse. Both of them are separated from their parent's mansion, they are already living in different places but on occasion, or specifically when Alvan doesn't have any more options to get what he wants, he will run to Alyx to demand assistance.

"Brother, I need your help!"

Sitting in front of a big flat-screen TV was a man in his late 20s, watching a performance of some rising star when his younger brother suddenly came in.

Alvan didn't care about whatever his older brother was doing, besides he already had something worth dealing with. A girl problem, to be precise. He couldn't believe this time would come where he would have to deal with problems like this.

"What?" Alyx asked Alvan nonchalantly.

"Give me access. I want to hold a party in our company's name," he answered vigorously once he got near his brother. The latter looked up and raised him an eyebrow.

"Stop playing around."

"Brother, I'm not asking for your permission. Just give me the access," Alvan sharply demanded.

Between the two of them, it was apparent that Alvan, who is the younger one, had received more favor than Alyx had. All of the loving attention and the caring bit of the family was centered on Alvan, while all of the pressure and big expectations were dumped on Alyx but still, he somewhat used them as his strength and motivation in becoming the next CEO of their company.

When he was finally assigned as the new chief executive officer, Alvan grew famous in the acting industry. Every time Alvan messes up, Alyx would always be there to back him up. He had already gotten used to it besides Alvan was his younger brother anyways. Despite their family issues, they had managed to have a good relationship as brothers. Though it was kind of unnoticeable to others since they both have this cold and authoritative personality.

"Don't spend more than fifty million." Alyx took the black credit card from his drawer and gave it to him. Alvan received it with a smile.

"I got it, brother. Thanks!" Alvan said before he immediately took out his phone and turned his back to leave Alyx's office.

"Martis," Alyx spoke to his phone. "Find out what's up with Alvan."

Yanarym was bored reading a webnovel. Her apartment has only one room. There's no bed, just a folding mattress, a pillow, and a thin blanket. At least she has an electric fan. She wasn't allowed to cook inside, so she would always just go out to eat. Whenever she's too lazy to do so, she would just eat instant cup noodles or not eat at all.

It has almost been two weeks ever since she woke up in this world, unintentionally living someone else's life.

She was poor yet she had her comatose sister to support financially. She seldom received gigs and didn't even know what to do other than acting. So whenever she hasn't been getting a gig for too long, she would work as a dancer in a bar at night. At least, she wouldn't have to strip her clothes off plus it was a decent bar.

"Guide-sama, how's the progression of the plot?" She asked, staring at her noisy second-hand electric fan.

Guide-sama: "The heroine and the hero have already met. It has been a month now."

"Oh? They just started? Long way to go then," Yanarym bleakley reacted. She knocked her head on the mattress she's been leaning on.

Based on what she had read before she died, the male and female protagonists of the story met at a party hosted by some close friend. But on the side story of the novel, Alyx had already met Alyana in charity work and it was where he fell in love with her.

Before Alyana Lawson's family was considered as one of the wealthiest families but now, it has been in the fallen house for years. She was an only child, hence, her parents still did their best to make her feel comfortable in the entertainment industry.

She grew up as a good person, abundant in love and with a deep sense of justice. She was strong, faithful in her principles, doesn't back down that easily, and fights for what she thought was right—the typical strong type of female lead in stories.

Yanarym sighed.

Female leads in stories almost always get what they want in the ending. They would eventually get wooed by rich and handsome male leads. While in her case, aside from the fact that she was penniless, had no stable job, and no men to love her; she's just a minor character, how must it be to become a female lead. Here she is, a starlet.
