Karlye heard the sound of the door open then quietly close as someone walked in.
He didn't move and pretended to be aslehe felt her weight on the other side of the bed as Andria got in.
It was the second day since they started sharing the same bed. And since then, she kept coming in late at night, staying in Myra's room until she was sure he was asleep.
Slowly, he opened his eyes to see her back; she was facing the other side.
He, too, didn't know why he made that hasty decision, but he still stuck to it.
Tomorrow she was having her audition with FFredh e was sure Andria would do great for her acting since she had perfectly acted like his wife only after watching videos of her once.
She was getting even better with Trevor helping her.
...
"Excuse me, sir .." Karlye blinking looking back at the projected screen.
"Sorry, continue", he said. He had been distracted since they got to work.
He was worried about Andria's audition; she had assured him that she would do her best, but that didn't stop him from thinking about her.
The reason why their agency was the best was that they always made sure their actors and actresses were the best and knew what they were doing.
Andria knew what she was doing but she had no experience in being in the lead and had been in the shadow since she took her first job.
What if she failed to reach Fred's expectations and ended up being hurt ?. He sighed, looking down at his phone. She had promised to call after her audition.
He could hear the other person, but his mind wasn't there. He heard a vibration and looked back down. It was his phone.
"Let's stop here for now, Trevor, he said, getting up.
They all fell silent and watched him rush off to his office.
"Andria ..' he answered closing the door behind him.
"Hi... I'm sorry, I know you're busy , but I had promised to call,l ", she said.
"It's ok, I wasn't busy ..he lied ...so how did it go ?" he asked.
"Well I am not sure yet, I just stepped out. I was so anxious, I wanted to talk to someone," she anxiously giggled.
He sat down." Did it go smoothly for you ?"
"Mmm, I remembered all my lines and gave it my best. They looked pleased when I was done, so I'm sure it wasn't that bad," she let out.
"Did they tell you to wait? I can pick you up ",, he said.
"Oh it's okay, I'm going to take a taxi back "
Karlye got up, "No, stay there, I'm on my way ", he said, hanging up.
When he arrived she was out waiting for him. Noticing his car Andria waved happily.
He got out rushing to her side.
"You're here, her flushed cheeks from the cold raised in a bigger smile.
He nodded, "You're cold, let's get you in the car.
She took his hand and he led her back to her car. It was warm inside and smelled like him.
He got in too and pulled something from his back.
"Have some, it will warm you up " he said.
Andria looked down at the offered drinks and hesitated.
"It's milk, don't worry ", he said.
She met his gaze, so he had noticed that she didn't drink coffee.
"Thank you " she said.
Karlye started the car but then his phone rang, so he picked up first.
"Hmmm, alright. Thanks for everything, I will let her know," he said, hanging up.
Andria turned to him as she took a sip of her warm milk.
"That was Fred " he said.
"Huh...what did he say" she asked.
Karlye sighed, and Andria leaned back in her seat. She must have failed if Karlye delayed saying it immediately.
"Let's go home " he said.
Andria nodded looking away.
She was quiet on the way home. Karlye kept stealing glances at her, but her expression didn't change.
"We are here, he said, stopping the car.
Andria got out, rushing inside. She was holding back her tears and didn't want him to see her, but when she pushed the door open, a loud noise was heard.
"Congratulations...."
Andria stumbled back, bumping into Karlye, who held her in place.
"Oh my what is going on ?" she blinked.
Myra, the maids, and Trevor were all there, clapping for her with decorations all over the house.
Myra ran to her, "Congratulations, mommy ", she said.
Confused Andria looked back at Karlye.
He whispered to her, "You got the part.
She beamed, "Really, I did ".
He nodded. Andria jumped in joy hugging him.
"Oh my God ...I did it " she cried out.
Trevor and the others noticed Karlye freeze when Andria's arms held him and smirked.
She pulled away hugging the little girl who was jumping in joy too.
