World after Worlds: Brightest Star

CHAPTER 40

"Shall we continue?" Yanarym's face wrinkled in annoyance and hit his chest, which didn't hurt him a bit.

"Sex, sex! Why are you and Alvan running after me if you want to have sex?! Am I your sex slave?! Why don't you find someone else?! Because I have no intention of being your slave!" She grumbled angrily, Alyx chose to ignore her commentary about Alvan and focus on her annoyed but cute expression.

"Sure, you're really hungry, you're getting mad." He pecked at her lips and she hissed at him, he smiled at her and pinched her cheeks before he reached for the phone next to the bed and called room service to bring them something to eat.

"How's the taping?" He turned to the girl as he hung up the phone, he embraced her again. She returned to her usual demure self after he ordered her a supreme meal.

"It was fine." She answered and looked away from him, fidgeting her fingers that were at his chest.

"You're not used to acting with the role of the main character, were you fine?"

"Alvan and the crew helped me adjust."

"Is that so?"

"Hmm."

...

"Why did you provoke my brother?" Alyx suddenly asked her, and she was stunned.

Alyx quickly smiled and kissed her cheek,

"Don't worry, I don't get mad that easily. Especially with you, I think I can never hate you." Yanarym cocked her head and fixed her eyes on his eyes, which were fixated on her. His expression was bereft of any cynicism.

To respond to his question, she recollected the memories of the day she came into this world.

"You probably know, I'm already obsolete in my career, for about five years I've been working and working but I couldn't get anywhere but my status as a forgotten rookie." He brushed her hair through his fingers as he listened to her intently.

"I don't have a manager, the agency doesn't pay attention to me because I don't contribute that much to management. That day, I had a schedule for a segment of a reality show. When I arrived on set, I was suddenly told off by the staff, that someone allegedly took over my slot. Alyana Lawson, a rookie, a real newbie, and a famous one too, my total opposite. You know her, don't you?" Alyx was astounded, he stiffened and halted his movements. He slowly nodded and let out a 'hmm' sound in response to her.

That day was one of the days when he helped Alyana in her sprung career to the top. All of the exposure he could give, he gave her. He doesn't care about other artists, the only thing that matters for him was to aid Alyana.

Alyx prodded his face on her neck, snuggling her even tighter --If he's right, he was the one who got her dismissed from the variety show. Yanarym suffered as a result of his obsession with rocketing Alyana's reputation. Even a mere slot in a single program was a crucial chance for actresses like Yanarym, and he handed it to Alyana, who had accumulated exposures, without hesitation.

"At that time I was thinking, why is it that the new actress has more opportunities than me. Then, it came to me that I must let go of my principles, I have to use what I have to raise from my status. That's why I went into Alvan's dressing room," She mumbled in her low sweet voice. Alyx held his breath, it was his fault. He was the reason why Alvan met Yanarym.

"At first I was determined, that day was so depressing for me that I wanted to change my fate. The next I knew, Alvan entered his dressing room and I asked him if he was willing to have sex with me. I didn't expect him to agree to my invitation. At the end of that day, I realized how stupid I was. I was scared that his fans might attack me when they found out what I had done with Alvan and end up ruining my career. So, I deliberately avoided him, which was not that hard actually because he's not like me, he's in another league."

"A few weeks after that, I saw him on the set. I had a minor role, I didn't even have a dialogue in that drama. Then there was a party, all the cast and crew of that show were invited. The director said it was required so I went there. That's where I met you, at that time I had no idea who you were. I was even wondering why you were in the girls' restroom but I was under the aphrodisiac that I drank or ate, I was not in my right mind---I didn't approach you on purpose, Alyx. "

"I admit I was out of my mind when I asked Alvan to have sex with me, but believe me after that I didn't plan to seduce you as well. Moreover, I didn't know you when I asked you to help me in the restroom."

"I believe you." Alyx replied, "I believe you not because I like you. I believe you because I did a background check on you, sorry."

"Why are you so sorry? I think it's normal for you to be suspicious of me. The weird thing was that you were in CR when I took that medicine. If it wasn't planned, I would even think that everything happened on purpose."

"Maybe it's fated. To meet you, to have you, to hold you, don't you think so too?"

"Do you believe in fate?"

"Yes, because I met you." He smiled in the girl's ear and kissed her neck. "It wasn't a coincidence, you were fated to meet me."

"I didn't know you were such a romantic man."

"Sweetheart there's a lot of things you will discover about me." He heard her chuckle, which flattered him, he smiled but he kept in mind the reason why he met Yanarym.
