The Comeback of a Star 49. Girls' Night Out
AYRABrielle and I walked into exactly the kind of place she would choose for a girls' night out. It was intimate and dimly lit with plush burgundy seats. The place was upscale enough that I wouldn't be bothered by curious fans, but cozy enough that we could talk easily. Jazz played in the background while bartenders moved quickly and quietly.I slid into a curved booth across from her, grateful for the cozy vibe that hid my exhaustion from my first day of filming. I was dressed casually in a hoodie and loose pants. I checked my phone for messages from Liam but found nothing, and my mind flashed back to the blonde woman and Raven's comment about defining what we were."You look like you need this," Brielle said, sliding a perfectly crafted martini across the table. "Rough day?""Not really, filming was amazing," I said, taking a grateful sip of the alcohol, trying to drown everything else that was complicated. "Everything else is what's complicated."Brielle raised an eyebrow at me.
The Comeback of a Star 48. Obsessed!
LIAMI threw my head back in laughter as I said, "Yeah, it must be my angle or something," I replied, trying to put her at ease. Doing business gives you a multifaceted persona. Knowing the right one to use on each individual makes or breaks a business relationship.Did I care if she found me intimidating? No. But did I want the best outcome? Yes.We made our way inside and took a seat. The waiter came and she asked if I would like to order. I told her it was fine, that she could order. She ordered a 2015 Sancerre."I remember you preferred white wine," she smiled.I thanked her casually, and we started talking about reviewing the business proposal. Isabella had done impressive work. She'd identified potential partners in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and Milan. The financial projections showed Ayra could be earning eight figures annually within two years if the brand launched successfully.As we ate and the conversation wound down, Isabella presented the final contract and I noticed
The Comeback of a Star 47. A Planned Coincidence
LIAMAfter Chris left, I made my way to the window and stood there for a moment, my hands still clenched into fists as I thought about the way he'd mentioned Ayra, the way he'd spoken about her like she was nothing, like he wasn't the one with an agenda.I remembered watching Ayra from afar all these years, seeing her disappear from public events, her smile became more and more forced in the rare photos that surfaced. When she announced that she was taking a break from acting, I knew something was wrong. The Ayra I knew wouldn't do this. She lived and breathed for Acting. She would never willingly step away unless someone was forcing her.So I started investigating. I kept tabs on the Yaldon family dynamics. It hadn't taken long to uncover that Chris and his Family were the reason she was stepping away, and also to find out that Chris was cheating. He was sloppy, arrogant, and convinced she would never leave him, no matter how badly he behaved.I used to send her evidence of his affai
The Comeback of a Star 46. Big Threats and Big Reveals
LIAMI walked into the office given to me in the transportation division at the Yaldon Empire headquarters. It was an adequate office with a sleek, modern look that overlooked the city skyline. It had leather furniture and a dark wood desk. Nothing much to my taste, but it would do for as long as I continued whatever this was.I couldn't care less about playing these games, but it was amusing to watch Olivia squirm and everybody lose their composure over whatever it is they think I'm fighting for. Like I said, I couldn't care less. My mother put me up to this, and honestly, the woman can get very manipulative when she wants something. That's a whole different ballgame I don't even want to get into entirely.I'd been CEO of this division for less than a week and it was already causing me headaches. I pulled out a file of financial records they'd submitted, and the numbers were inconsistent. Full of incompetence from whoever had been leading them, and by whoever, I mean Christopher. Tha
The Comeback of a Star 45. Tutorial on Defining a Relationship...
AYRAI watched Liam smile at something the blonde woman probably said, the same smile he gave to me, and I couldn't help but feel a tight squeezing in my chest.The waiters brought our food over. I ordered a simple salad, but my appetite was completely gone as I couldn't help but wonder who she was. Was it a business associate, a friend, or something more? He looked relaxed and comfortable, meaning he was familiar with whoever this person was.I thought about my relationship with Liam and whatever it is we have. We've never defined it, never made it official. Yes, we're obviously attracted to each other and he's been incredibly supportive beyond what I would ever expect from anybody, but we've never discussed exclusivity. But he did say he was in love with me… Maybe I'm reading too much into this interaction, or maybe I should be reading it just enough."You okay?" Raven asked gently."Fine," I lied, forcing myself to take a bite of the salad. "Just thinking about the next scenes we h
The Comeback of a Star 44. Read the Scene
AYRA Travis was already in costume. He was in a well-tailored suit that made him look like the successful businessman his character was supposed to be. "Travis," I said to him politely, but then I noticed he immediately moved into my personal space as he spoke. "I've been looking forward to this all week," he said, placing a hand on my arm. "It's going to be our first scene together and we're going to be creating magic." I took some steps back subtly, trying to create some distance between us. "I'm excited too. Have you had a chance to look at the revised script pages?" "Of course," he said, moving closer again, "but I think the real magic happens when we stop thinking about the script and just, you know, feel the moment." His hand found its way to my lower back as he guided me towards the set, but I felt uncomfortable. He was becoming too intimate for our professional relationship. I gently removed his hand from my waist and diplomatically moved away. "The script is pretty spec
