MainNovelEven Tyler, with his notoriously thick skin, was starting to feel he'd gone a bit too far.
"Oh right, I know your name, it just slipped my mind for a second. You haven't wrapped up filming yet?" Athena kept her head down, nowpletely certain that Tyler never paid attention to her scenes.
"I'm the third female lead. My character has a transformation later, so I'll finish shooting later." Tyler rubbed his forehead, genuinely clueless. He'd thought she was just playing a minor role. "So, did you need something from me?" He quickly changed the subject, noticing the crew's eyes on them. The last thing he wanted was people gossiping about him and Athena.
The director's last call to him felt like a subtle probe, hinting that Athena might have dropped his name. Tyler really wasn't into those kinds of mind games. Yet, here she was again, feigning innocence.
"I don't have your contact info or your WhatsApp. If you need anything, like a ride when you're drunk and your driver isn't around, you can call me." Athena looked up, her voice slightly pleading.

Yet here she was, daring to say she was pursuing him.
Intrigued, Tyler handed over his number and added her on WhatsApp.
Athena returned to her spot, clutching her phone like it was a treasure. Doris watched her with a mix of disbelief and worry. Athena proudly showed her phone screen to Doris, a hint of triumph in her eyes.
"See this? Tyler's contact info." Doris ruffled her hair, amused.
"You get satisfied way too easily." Athena's smile widened, sweet and genuine. But soon, she felt a hostile gaze on her. Looking over, she saw it was Anna.
Anna's face was a storm of emotions. She was shocked when Athena had approached Tyler earlier. In the crew, Athena had always been the one people picked on. Who knew she'd dare to approach Tylerdike that? UMS Anna stormed over, snatching Athena's phone and, upon finding Tyler's contact, smashed the phone against the wall.
"Who do you think you are, asking for his number?" Athena watched her phone shatter, pieces scattering. No one dared to intervene; Anna was the star here.
Athena stood up, and in a surprise move, slapped Anna across the face.
Even Doris was taken aback, thinking she must be hallucinating.
Had this timid little rabbit actually hit someone? And not just anyone, but one of the studio's biggest stars? This was bad. Really bad. Doris felt a headache brewing, wishing she could drag Athena away.
Anna, clutching her face, glared at Athena in disbelief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You actually hit me?" Athena's expression was grim. She hadn't memorized Tyler's number, and now her phone was wrecked. She'd have to ask for his contact all over again. What a hassle. Unable to hold back, she had lashed out.
"Athena! You little witch, you want to be blacklisted? Just wait, I'll ruin you!" Anna, eyes blazing, signaled her bodyguards to seize Athena.
Athena was alone, and the set descended into chaos.
The director was caught in a bind, unsure whose side to take. If Tyler didn't care now but did later, what then? But Anna was a major asset for WAJA Media, and if they made a fuss, the director would be in a tough spot.
He was practically sweating as Anna's guards grabbed Athena.
Anna approached, hand raised to strike.
But Athena resisted this time, kicking Anna squarely in the stomach.
