As Zoe abruptly opened the door to the inner room panickedly, she found Jay sitting calmly and elegantly on the luxurious couch in his lounge, taking a sip of coffee.His bearing was certainly a far cry from hers.Zoe worked hard to calm herself, before asking meekly, "How long have I been sleeping?""A day. It's now 10 PM."A day—not just a couple hours and certainly not just the entire afternoon.In other words, she slept for twelve hours… from 10 AM to 10 PM!What?!"Why didn't you wake me up?!" Zoe asked in shock.She forgot to turn on her alarm, and she was the type who always overslept if no one disturbed her.That was how soundly she slept."You used to be so foul-tempered if someone woke you," Jay blurted."That's before! Would I even misbehave now? I'd be marching out of bed if you called," Zoe quickly retorted. Jay smiled then.His smile had always been refined, and she had never seen him smile in a way that lacked control.That was why one could not tell if he

Yelena and Clara shared the same room, and Clara woke up with a start when Zoe opened the door. One was certainly prone to being woken up when they reached a certain age."Just checking on Yelena," Zoe whispered."Okay." Clara tossed around in bed and fell asleep again.Zoe walked up to their bed and stared at Yelena's little cheeks, which were reddened from sleep.Who would have known that Zoe somehow ended up becoming a mother?Yelena's arrival certainly surprised Zoe—she never expected that she could get pregnant in one shot.It was Clara who suggested that she might be when she missed her period for three months and her belly started to swell.She was certainly shocked—she had previous cases of irregular periods before, when she slimmed down drastically or fattened up for certain roles. In fact, she was so used to it that being pregnant did not cross her mind.She struggled with herself for a long time, but she eventually decided to give birth.Clara supported Zoe, say

Once Jay arrived, everyone gathered around him, and he said, "Continue the rehearsals as arranged yesterday. Let's go a few rounds before we dissect the details. Zoe, you missed out yesterday, so try to blend in or practice solo if you can't.""Yes, Mr. Parker." Everyone dispersed and proceeded to start the rehearsals.Zoe blended in quickly, mostly because the script she was given yesterday proved very useful. She had rehearsed her role twice at home and quickly found the right mood to play her character. And with other characters to play off her role now, she got into character even quicker.By the time the first rehearsal was over, everyone was surprised by Zoe's performance.Her performance from yesterday was a stark contrast to the one she showed today—while she had been distracted and muddle-headed yesterday, she played her character down to a tee today.They had thought her character insignificant and uninteresting, but her performance painted it with bright colors. Eve

Zoe headed into the washroom, every fiber of her being aggravated.She looked at her reflection in the mirror, which had not much in the way of makeup or jewelry. She did not like putting on makeup personally since she spent so much time on stage with thick makeup, and she therefore preferred a clear face.To be honest, she had no idea why Arthur was interested in her—she was neither the prettiest nor the most talkative actress present.Could it be because she had no influence?Zoe splashed her face with cold water then.She knew all too well that if she spurned Arthur's advances, she would be dismissed by the next stage and had no chance to hope otherwise.After all, showbiz was a web of influence—one misstep and her career would suffer indefinitely.But if she did not reject him… She had a hard time ignoring her conscience. She never thought she would have to assume this path since she started out in showbiz.In the past, she had support and she gained confidence from t

Zoe stayed silent, though she was already cursing Jay in her head.She was planning to get Arthur completely drunk, but what he said cut off his escape.Nonetheless, Jay suddenly said, "Mr. Rubio, you don't mind me leaving with Zoe, right?'Both Zoe and Arthur were left taken aback, while Jay explained, "Our group still has rehearsals tomorrow, and Zoe's performance would be affected if she gets drunk. In fact, every member of my group would be leaving with me… I'm sure there's no issue with that?"Zoe quietly composed herself, since she was getting agitated.It was fortunate that Jay was taking everyone with him instead of her alone—there would be a lot of explaining to do otherwise. "But isn't this too early? It's not even ten," Arthur quickly said. "Young people normally sleep at midnight these days.""They will be in bad shape when they wake up the next day. Unlike other professions, actors easily get swollen faces, and that would affect their performance on stage.""It's
