Chapter 10: Chapter 10
Ashly's POV
Hi, I'm Ash, 23 and I'm an actress. I do GL roles most of the time and I've just gotten back from overseas, I was busy with a very special show to me. It did mean a lot really. My co-star was someone I've always looked up to, I also had a bit of a crush on her even though she was married and had kids. She was in a hetero relationship but still did GL roles. Maybe it's because she was good at it. Even though I was signed under Visionary Stars company I still did some outside jobs. You see, my company focused more on the representation of the LGBTQ community, there were both BL and GL there. But straight couples were not excluded. I myself didn't start by doing GLs. I've done supporting characters in BL before my potential was seen. Thanks to my fans. Well, I've got a bunch of honest fans, not too toxic. They understand the difference between real life and fiction. That being, they don't get emotionally attached to the characters I play with my partners. It wasn't like this before but we've gotten better at it. Even now, they didn't have a problem with me acting alongside someone whom was already married. Only a few made comments about it but seventy percent didn't care. Before I forget, the CEO of our company told me something about me getting a personal manager or something. I already have a manager and I didn't see the need for another one. What was I supposed to do with two people .
I already had uncle Given. We've been together ever since I got into the entertainment industry so having another one now was something I didn't think was okay but what boss wants, boss gets. This is just because he lets me do what I want to do, not everyone gets to have jobs outside the company but some of us do so I couldn't complain since he was the one whom would pay the person. I had just arrived from the airport, and yah it was overcrowded by my beautiful fans of course. I went to take a few selfies with some of them, did a bit of high-fives and had convos with some and then uncle Given dragged me out of there. But I was unstoppable,I still had a fan meet coming in a few days so I'll just hang out with them again. Well I was supposed to attend the company's new staff selection and I was already twenty minutes late. They should've blindfolded me when I arrived at the airport because there was no way that I would just ignore my fans. But we finally arrived at the company's headquarters, I rushed to the meeting room as soon as I could and all of the signed artists were there. Well there were like thirty already signed but we had some extras too, this meeting was just for family members though. I just knew that no matte hor late I was, there was no way I would get scolded, I was the youngest after all. I along with uncle ran inside the meeting room, found seats and acted like we had long been there. The meeting was already taking place and we had like ten new staff member that were getting recruited. This is something I didn't understand, we already had like a hundred staff members whom were separated by assignments and yet we needed more ones. You see, our company released like ten shows per year, and each staff member was assigned to one show. But the shows weren't shot at the same time, only three would get shot at the same time. But I'm not one to complain. I just went there to listen after all. As the meeting went to an end father/our CEO asked me to stay along with uncle because he wanted us to meet someone. I was asking myself why they didn't introduce the person like the others during the meeting. He then called out the person and it turned out to be a woman. She wasn't dressed like she was going to work, all black like she had a funeral to go to. She was wearing a black baggy shirt, a trouser and Snickers. Her hair was very short, in a buzz cut. I never expected to see a woman in such a style, she looked very cool. But still, was she more special than the others. Is that why she didn't stand for thirty whole minutes like the others. Father then introduced us and told me she was the person he was telling me about.
I was very tired to be getting to know anyone so I just said hi to her and she and uncle shook hands. Well I was done for the day, I actually didn't want to be at the building any longer, I said bye to father and went to the car. I just don't know why I didn't feel okay with this new personal manager stuff, I mean I surely didn't need one. And she didn't seem like someone I would be able to talk to, she was too quiet and I didn't have a say to that. I stayed in the car for like thirty minutes and there they came, uncle and that lady, her name is Angel if I'm not mistaken, but she doesn't look like one. Since uncle was the one that did the driving and I preferred being at the passengers seat, she stayed with him in the front . Uncle then drove us to my apartment, I just stayed there with him, seemed like we were going to have an adition to our house but doubted that Angel would want to stay with us. After a very short drive( I didn't stay far from my company's building), I was the first person to get out of the car and I ran in since I haven't been home in months. Not really home, I only visited my parents once a year but it's fine, I was working. Uncle and Angie followed after and uncle gave a tour of our apartment, he even invited her to come and stay with us but she said she was fine. I went to take a shower while they got to know one another and as I was done I went to take a nap. I woke up in the middle of the night possibly because I was hungry and I went to find something to eat in the kitchen but then I saw someone sleeping on a couch so I went to check who it was , honestly I never thought it would be Angel but it was her, I mean she refused to stay with us so why was she still there. Well,I was too lazy to wake her up so I went back to the kitchen and found myself something to eat and then I went back to my room to sleep. And as the morning arrived I ran to the bathroom, took a shower, wore the craziest clothes I could find and then I went to greet uncle whom was still sleeping of course, and then I ordered breakfast. I turned to my living room to find Angel still there so I went to play some music in order to let her know it was morning, it wasn't really wise to be sleeping on a couch for that long, I did that once and the result was back pains. She woke up faster than I thought and I said good morning to her and asked her if she wanted coffee or something but she said she just wanted to take a quick shower and go home so I told her to pick a room and shower so she left. I waited for the food and before I knew it, they arrived and I set up the table before going to my room to get my phone.
I wanted to do a YouTube live since my fans were always asking for it but by the time I arrived in my room I found Angel sitting on a chair looking at herself on my mirror. It kinda seemed like she was crying because by the time I got in she wiped her face. I honestly didn't think she would pick my room but I wasn't mad about it. I just grabbed my phone and got out. I found uncle already eating so I placed my phone at the centre of the table, turned the YouTube live on and I joined him.He didn't mind being on camera with me so we just both had a chat while eating and before we knew it, hundred thousand people had already tuned in. They were just asking about the fan-meet and stuff like that but I wasn't one to read comments while eating. As we were busy eating Angel walked in and she appeared on camera making everyone ask who she was, well I had to introduce her somehow so this was a very good timing, I then announced while eating that I had a new personal manager, and it was all my bosses idea not mine. I saw a lot of comments saying they recognised her face from somewhere and I noticed that that made her uncomfortable so I switched off the live and asked her what was wrong and she said she wanted to go home and rest then she would come. So I offered to give her a ride, well while she was still in my room uncle knocked some senses in my head telling me that I was making her uncomfortable and stuff like that so I just wanted to be a good person and make her feel comfortable,for uncles sake of course. I left my food, ran to my room to put on a hoodie and some glasses and then she followed me outside to my car. We both got in and I asked for her address so that I could follow the GPS and she gave it to me so I drove her to her place. On our way I decided to make a little conversation since we were both just too quiet.
