Billionaire's game #2 : Beyond the Billionaire's image Chapter 11
After a long day, I immediately headed to Mr. Gil's office. I knocked a few times before entering. He was seated behind his desk, engaged in a phone call.When he noticed me, he quickly excused himself from the call before hanging up. I just sat down on the couch and stretched my back."Let me guess, that's the scriptwriter," I guessed.He looked at me, seemingly surprised. "Uh-hm, you noticed that too?"I glanced at the ceiling, thinking. "Yeah, I noticed some dialogue in the script. It doesn't seem suitable for the cast," I said, sitting up properly but resting my elbow on my knee. "Why don't you just let the cast adlib it? Especially the two supporting actors, I'm sure they can do it well."Mr. Gil smiled as he looked at me. "Really? Do you think that would be effective?"I nodded and continued, "Yes, I think so. They're talented enough to pull it off. It would feel more natural if they added their own twist to the lines."He pondered for a moment. "Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. B

As soon as I entered, the room was filled with wealthy individuals. I glanced around and saw other actors I only knew from here, as well as people who owned famous brands.I went to the corner of the yacht and enjoyed the night view. Memories of times with my grandfather flooded back.Every night, in my dark room, when nightmares haunted me, he was there. Grandpa, with his kind smile, entered. He sat beside me, holding my hand, asking about my dream adventures.I told him about scary monsters chasing me. Grandpa, with his wisdom, said those monsters might seem big, but reminded me that I'm even braver. He told me I have the power to change my dreams.His words made me feel safe, like a shield against fear. He stayed until the scary feelings went away, and I fell back asleep. I felt lucky to have him, but he vanished five years ago. I clenched my hand, determined to avenge his killer."It seems like it will rain tonight," a woman's voice beside me said. I didn't pay attention and just

I checked the woman's neck; no blood was seeping out from her body, but her color changed. Her lifeless eyes stared blankly at the ceiling."She got poisoned," I heard the man next to me say.I turned to look at him, my eyes narrowed. "What makes you say that?""The woman's face was peaceful, almost serene, except for the faint blue tint around her lips. I've been observing her, but then, I saw how she gulped a wine then collapsed a little later," I looked back at the man next to me. He was with Oliver earlier. A friend, I guess."You're observant. Did you know her?"He didn't look at me, instead just staring straight ahead where the woman was still sprawled on the floor. No one dared to touch her. As far as I know, the police can't just enter here no matter what happens because the casino's owner is a member of an elite family, and they follow their own rules."Not really, but I talked to her before this happened. She gave me hints, and I thought that was just a bluff." He seemed gui

"Do you have a plan?" Oliver asked, but I ignored him. Instead, I observed the men at the Port. One of them seemed uncomfortable, and I saw an opportunity."Where's the guy with you earlier?" I asked, looking at him."He's fetching his private yacht. You'd be better off joining us.""No." I responded immediately."Damn it! We're helping you, aren't we? Do you want to die here?!" I hushed him because he was raising his voice, drawing attention to us."Keep your mouth shut. You're too noisy, you know that?" I stopped when he held my hand, which was covering his mouth, and looked at me intensely. I didn't react immediately when he lowered it, but he kept his gaze on me."You smell like a woman." I blinked several times. What kind of smell was he picking up?"Because I touched a woman earlier." I reasoned, not looking at him anymore as I checked the men there."Really? Was she good? Not boring?"I rolled my eyes at Oliver's sudden curiosity. "Now's not the time for that. Focus on staying

I woke up lazily on my bed. I checked the time and realized I had woken up earlier than my alarm. I usually don't set an alarm because I always wake up early, but I came home late last night. I scratched my back and yawned.Adding to the discomfort, my body was sore from last night's events. I will also ask Mr. Gil later about the people who attacked me. I really can't recognize them and why I was their target.While contemplating, I prepared for work. I changed into simple attire - a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, then headed to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.After getting ready, I hopped into my car, a sleek black sedan. I usually ride my motorcycle to work, but due to the events last night, I opted to take the car. It's safer, and there's less chance of being recognized. When I arrived on set, everyone was busy. The cast members were getting ready, while the staff were bustling around, doing their jobs.I also saw Oliver, seated in a corner while getting his m

I could tell he was trying to get closer, but I wasn't interested. I had enough drama dealing with Oliver and his antics. I didn't need more complications in my life."Good. Now, let's get back to work. We have a lot to do today," I said, steering the conversation back to our tasks.He nodded and we went back to rehearsing the stunts. As the day progressed, I noticed him stealing glances at me every now and then. But I chose to ignore it, focusing instead on doing my job.In my line of work, it wasn't uncommon for people to develop feelings or show interest. But I had learned long ago to keep my personal and professional life separate. And that's exactly what I intended to do. It's quite common for these situations to arise, and some are not even afraid to approach me despite my intimidating facial expressions."By the way, coach, do you like rock and R&B genres?" he asked while sitting comfortably, near me."Yeah, why? You want to invite me to your band concert?" I asked directly. He

"Coach!" I turned to Jenson when he called me. I was already leaving the set as I was now out. He was still in costume as he made his way towards me."What is it?" He stopped in front of me, a smile on his face, scratching his head as if feeling a bit shy."Are you free tomorrow, Coach? I heard you were looking for a gym, maybe you'd like to come with me tomorrow. My bandmate has a gym and we always go there," he said eagerly.I pulled the strap of my bag and looked at him again. "Hm, complete equipment?""Yes, Coach! It's been there for a year now, and you can be sure it will be comfortable for you," he replied, beaming with excitement. I glanced at the man who had been watching us earlier. He was just sitting near the director, but because I could quickly determine who was looking at me, I couldn't help but look at him.I raised an eyebrow at him, but he averted his gaze and proceeded to remove his makeup with his assistant. I looked back at Jenson, who was waiting for my response.

After the burial, Oliver tried to talk to me, but I chose to ignore him. I didn't know why he was there or how he found out, but it didn't matter. This wasn't the right time or place for him."Coach," she said, her voice soft. "Can we talk?"I didn't respond. I looked at him, my eyes cold. I didn't have time for her right now.I saw a sudden concern on his face, but I ignored it. Instead of answering, I turned around and walked away.But he quickly caught up and reached for my wrist as I avoided his and gave him a stern look. "What now, Oliver?"He scratched his head. "I'm sorry... I just want to... accompany you," he said softly.I deeply sighed and walked away, but I stopped when I reached my car and looked at him. He was still standing where we had talked earlier."Are you just going to stand there?"His face brightened. I scoffed because he looked like a child running towards me, but I just raised an eyebrow at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked, still unable to m
