"Maya Parker? Yes I know her." Liam said with a disappointed expression. "But I think you know her as well, don't you? Since we were students, Aiden had-"
"Yes-yes, I know that. Aiden only had one celebrity crush in his entire life, but it was still only a crush. Based on what I saw today… Do you know what their relationship is?" Ella asked curiously.
He should have already expected this… "Well, what would I get instead of telling you?"
Ella frowned a bit, she hadn't expected Liam to say this.
She did not have time to play around with him, but when she remembered the importance of Liam, she casually smiled, "Whatever you want! I will give it to you, okay?"
Looking at her trying to rush this conversation, Liam wryly chuckled, "Don't break your promise later on. Well at the moment they are not in any relationship, but-"
*Thad*
Ella slapped her hands on the table and stood up with excitement. "So there is nothing in between them after all! I was just imagining things. Well, they were only talking about business the whole time, I almost had gotten bored to death. It must be a business relationship only."
She took her purse and looked at Liam, "Thanks for telling me about them. Today I will be going back to the Moore family house because father has called me, will I see you there?"
"Father called you at the main house?" It clearly meant that he was ready to handover the responsibilities of the company to Ella now, but if that was the case, he should have been called as well, right? After all he was the current in charge of everything.
As if hearing his thoughts, Ella said, "He has called me not for anything else, but because mom wanted to see me. She is going to prepare a feast today, you should surely come! See you." Saying that she left the café.
Seeing her go away, Liam could do nothing but just mumble some words, "But you did not even listen to what I wanted.…"
Liam was shocked at such a strong response from Ella, he wanted to tell her that although Aiden and Maya weren't in a relationship right now, it did not mean that they wouldn't be in the future. But when he saw her smile, he knew that it would become distorted if he told her about that now. Hence he did not say anything else.
…
A week had passed since this incident, Aiden had called Maya, but they only had some casual conversations.
He had tried to clear up the misunderstanding, and she also told him that she understood the situation that day, and knew that couldn't do much because his father was present there.
He thought that she was trying to ignore him but that was not the case, because Maya was genuinely very busy at the moment and hence was unable to talk much with him.
She had returned from the Capital a few days before, and since then she, along with Ashely and their team were revising the project which she would most probably present to the SG Corps.
Before coming back to the Zed city, Maya had arranged everything that could have been done for the new artise, Alyssa.
She looked over everything personally because the company was planning to make her into an A-list actress in the future and no setbacks could be tolerated.
But at the moment, Alyssa was just treated as a regular artiste and had to work hard for achieving the senior status in the Supreme Starlight.
Before leaving the Capital, Maya and Manager Davis took some things into consideration and decided that Alyssa would still be an artiste under Lily; the girl who had misbehaved in front of Maya.
Although she was a bit rude, her accomplishments were good enough to speak up for her, she was good at strategizing and planning careers, especially for internet personalities like Alyssa.
In return of keeping her job, Lily was demoted and her well earned salary was also deducted by a lot.
Learning from her past experiences, she was now much more respectful and took her job seriously. Seeing this, Maya trusted Alyssa in the hands of Lily and came back peacefully.
Since she was busy at the headquarters, Maya didn't pay much attention to any news from or about Lucas. She did not expect much from him as well.
Ashely was secretly rejoicing, because if this continued, they could be open handedly be able to remove him from the position of Vice President or even fire him.
Although Maya agreed with this, she just laughed on Ashley's childish thoughts.
...
Meanwhile, Aiden was not in a good mood, he was constantly thinking that he might have ruined his chances will Maya, but he couldn't do much because he had to support Ethan with the company, his father was still in the hospital and in addition to that, his sister- in- law was about six months pregnant as well.
Since he didn't want Riely to have any more mood swings, Aiden did not bring up the topic of Ella in front of her. However, whenever he called Maya to talk about it, he felt as if she was just trying to avoid him.
Actually Maya had a reason for it. Now that she knew that Aiden was directly related to the SG Corporation, she knew that it might be slightly risky if she contacted him frequently just weeks before she was planning to present a proposal to them.
Some people might accuse her for getting the chance through underhanded tactics. Even if chances were less, she did not want to take that risk.
…
"Hadn't I already told you that you should not take this job?" Manager Davis had called Alyssa to his office, they were having a secret conversation that even her agent, Lily was unaware about.
"But haven't I also told you that I really need this job?" Realizing that it was sounding informal, Alyssa quickly apologized, "Sorry, sir. But if you can tell me about it, why can't you just tell about this to CEO Maya also?" She could tell that Davis was not that bad of a man.
"...."
After receiving only silence from him, Alyssa sighed, "I will be fine. I will take my boyfriend with me. How about that?"
"No! It would not be good for your career, even if you have announced that you have a boyfriend, it's only on a small scale."
*knock-knock*
"Yes? Come in." Manager Davis said as he looked who came in, could the person outside have heard their conversation just now?
ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ Who do you think is at the door? Could they have really heard the conversation? What do you think Alyssa and Davis were talking about?
What if the person outside had heard their talks? But they were not talking of something that could make someone suspicious, so it might not be a problem.
"Manager Davis, I was-"
It was Lily, she was carrying Alyssa's timetable, "Oh, Alyssa you are here as well, nice. I wanted to inform you that I can come with you for the audition, I have cleared up my schedule. Now you don't need to go there alone."
Both Alyssa and manager Davis sighed in relief, it looked as if she had not caught up with anything and now the issue they were talking about had also been solved. Alyssa no longer needed to go for the audition alone.
"Okay. You guys may leave now." Davis said as he went back to his seat.
"It is almost lunch time, shall we eat something?" While both of them left his office, Lily asked Alyssa.
"Sure… Um, I wanted to ask for a favor. Can we please, please eat some instant noodles?" Alyssa was practically begging her right now.
"Tsk, did I not tell you? You are going to have an audition as well, you should try to avoid all this."
Although Lily was scolding her, when she looked at Alyssa, her heart softened, "Now that you said instant noodles, I am craving for it. Since I also want it, only for today, we can have it."
"Really!!?" Alyssa's eyes instantly brightened up.
"Yeah, but instead you will have to workout today evening."
"Well there is no free meal in this world, so okay!" She replied cheerfully.
Since instant noodles were not in their canteen menu today, they decided to leave for Alyssa's home since it was close.
…
"Welcome to my humble home!" Alyssa invited Lily inside.
" It's quite big, I didn't expect that." She said as she looked around the condo.
"Hehe." Alyssa laughed awkwardly, "I did not contribute much when we brought this place. More than half of the payment was done by him." She said as she mentioned about her boyfriend.
"He looks reliable…" Lily sat on the couch, "Nice. Where is he right now? Does he work?"
"Yeah." Alyssa washed her hands and took out the instant noodles packets from the cabinet.
"You have got a lot of packets lady! So much of unhealthy food is not acceptable." Lily exclaimed.
"You don't have to worry about that." Alyssa laughed. "Ever since I have signed a contract with Supreme Starlight he has made sure to keep me in check. Haha!"
"That's good…" Lily smiled.
As she looked at Alyssa working in the kitchen, she could not help but go back to the conversation she had heard some time ago.
Earlier she had come to Davis's office to tell him that it was fine if Alyssa headed to the audition alone, after all, it was just an audition and nothing much, many people would be present there.
But she accidentally heard their talks. Although she couldn't understand what exactly they were talking about, she understood one thing, and it was that Alyssa could not go there alone.
Therefore when she entered the office, she told them that she would go along with her.
…
Alyssa finally brought the bowls out, both of their stomachs were growling in hunger.
After taking the first bite, Lily pursed her lips and frowned a little, "Too salty! You should have told me, I could have helped make a better one!."
"Hehe… I know I'm not that good in cooking." Alyssa laughed embarrassedly. (😅) "I hope its edible."
"It is not that bad… Well at least now I know that you can't cook, I will avoid any shows regarding it." Lily said as she took a few more bites.
"Oh, and I wanted to talk about some things related to work. As you know, the audition you will be going to, is for a remake of a popular movie from the 90's. The director of this film is the son of the director of the original movie."
"Yeah I know." Alyssa had already got to know about this from Manager Davis.
Although the original director had a reputable name in the industry, his son was completely opposite to him. He was a very despicable person, and took advantage of girls whenever he could.
*Ting-Tong*
The doorbell rang.
"Who could be here at this hour?" Alyssa thought. "I'll see the door." She stood up....
"How come you are back so early? Didn't you have work in the office?" Her voice could be heard.
Lily strained her neck and looked back, it was some handsome boy. Her eyes glittered.
"When I used to be free and ask for your time, you were busy. And now, when I'm starting to work, you are free!?" Alyssa complained.
He chuckled softly, "It's not that I didn't want to be with you. During those days, my boss was a workaholic. But these days he is just… unconcerned about the world!" He took off his shoes and asked in a low voice, "Someone's at home?"
Along with glittering eyes, Lily's face also had a smirk right now, "He is good looking and his voice is heavenly. I should not miss this chance!" She thought.
"Yeah, my manager is here." Alyssa replied in a hushed voice as well, "Go and greet her."
As soon as he came in front of Lily he introduced himself professionally, "Hello, I'm Alyssa's boyfriend, Ryan."
Lily couldn't control her excitement as her thoughts ran wild. "Good looking, good voice, and even his name means 'little king'. Perfect!"
"Hey Ryan, are you interested in acting or maybe singing? I can totally groom you as an idol as well!"
"Umm-" but she cut him in between, "Oh, are you thinking about your relationship? It can be solved as well. Both of you debut as a couple! Doesn't that sound great?!"
...
"Actually he already has a very good job Lily. There is no need!" Finally, after being cut by Lily several times, Alyssa said in a loud voice.
"Oh…"
…
After sometime, "I am really amused that you can actually eat something that she has made! Hahaha!" Ryan laughed as he got hit by Alyssa at the same time.
"And can I see if there is any fixed schedule for her? I hope I'm not asking for much."
"Yes, sure. Here." Lily gave him a sheet of paper. "Since it's her first audition, and we are not even sure if she will pass it, I have not added many things. It will change if she gets the role in Pretty Woman. Although her role won't be as good as the protagonist, by getting the third female lead role she will surely gain a lot of popularity."
"Hmm, not bad." He read tons of proposals everyday, although they weren't entertainment related, Ryan could tell that this plan was well organized. If executed properly, Alyssa could really become an A-list actress in the future.
Your thoughts on Ryan? (∩_∩)
