140 At Jasper City 5 (2/2)

She was only silent for a few moments before replying, ”I don't know why. But I'm having a gut feeling that it's not... Though I did consider that as a possibility, my instinct is not letting me settle the matter just like that.”

After she said this, his eyes seemingly told her, 'So what?' hence she sighed and helplessly remarked, ”I guess, a woman's intuition makes no sense to you.”

”I don't know if I should be glad that you know.”

Silence reigned upon this boring conversation between two barely acquainted people. It lasted quite a while until the gloomy bloke who realized that it was he who killed the talk began asking again.

”I'm sure you did not have your bodyguard drop me in front of you just so you can treat me to a meal and ask random questions while at it. So, what now again?” He paused for a bit, appearing as though he remembered something. With a slightly dark expression, he queried, ”You know my name but I don't have any ID with me today which you could use as an excuse for knowing. I can only think of one explanation for this. You had me investigated, right?... Why?” He didn't hide the displeasure in his voice. Actually, from the beginning, he never hid his discontentment towards her.

She understood where he was coming from, and felt bad about it. Hence, she sighed and looked at him apologetically. Afterward, she stated,

”I will be honest. I'm really curious how you found out. My mentors and the directors and actors I am acquainted with told me that my performance is already good enough to fool even insiders.”

”So when a normal nobody managed to tell it apart, you had him investigated?” He didn't raise his voice, but he scowled so badly that the girl sitting opposite him had her heart drop a little. The young man added, ”Is this for real? That's all it takes for a life to be reviewed without permission? Don't tell me you also plan to do this to anybody who managed to do the same?”

A second later, disbelief crossed his eyes when she regained her composure and unhesitatingly nodded, ”Yes.”

”Come again?” the guy asked, thinking he misheard.

”Mastering acting is very important to me. Probably second only to my life. So I'm willing to do anything if that will help secure anyone who can help me further this skill...” she softly explained.

Alessa naturally noticed the confusion that stayed on his face for quite a long while. She also heard it from his voice when he questioned. ”If so, what does this have to do with me?”

”My intuition is telling me that you can be of help to me.”

Helplessly shaking his head, he replied, ”Obviously I don't know who you are, therefore I also don't understand your reasoning at all. Why are you telling me this? How can I be of help? Are you sure you're not high?”

She frowned and sharply barked at him, ”You're rude! I'm about to debut as an actress! What you said can be taken against you in the court, you know? This is about my reputation!”

He froze, recognizing that what he said was very offensive.

”Alright. My mistake.” He admitted, ”I'm sorry.”

The girl sighed and then nodded.

Seeing this, the young man withdrew his gaze and said, ”I'm sorry again. All I want is to tell you that I won't be in any way helpful to you because I am no showbiz insider. I am a nobody.'

”I think you're wasting your time talking to someone who will most likely stay this way for the rest of his life...”
