Apology

Iris POV:

"No, who is it?" I asked nervously.

"It's your mate, Ken"

I froze due to shock, did she just say my mate, Ken?

"Hey, say something, are you feeling bad?" she asked in concern.

"No, the fact that he is the male lead doesn't affect me from auditioning, I don't care about him" I answered her, act nonchalant about what she said.

"Okay, that's great, I got worried about nothing" she replied smiling brightly.

"Yup" I yawned, feeling sleepy.

"Go to sleep, the effects of the drug the doctor gave you is starting to kick in and by the way, we won the battle, thanks to the Bright moon pack".

"Felicity, of course I know we won the battle, if not, do you think you'd be talking about my audition with me? Lastly, who saved me from the rogues that injured me? I passed out the moment I was about to see whom the person was, but I am sure it was a male".

"Oh, I didn't see who it was too, Dad just asked me to call the doctor for you" she said, shrugging her shoulders.

Well, I find this very suspicious, the look on Felicity's face shows she's lying to me, but the reason is beyond my understanding.

"Okay" I smiled at her, not wanting her to know have seen through her.

The next morning I got up, wore my clothes and shoes before packing my hair into a bun, I left my face bare because I didn't have the habit of wearing makeup on this my beautiful face (wink).

Author: hey female lead, stop being such a narcissist.

FL: oh, please let me flaunt my beauty or are you jealous of me?^_^

Author: jealous (scoffs) I created you!

FL:that's true, so you've got a problem with me being a narcissist, then deal with it. (scoffs) I am leaving.

Author: whattt!! Hey, come back here.

Minutes later, I got to the agency I was invited to audition in. I was directed to the waiting room where I saw a few participants already seated waiting nervously for their turns to come. I joined them after saying my greetings.

One hour later, it was my turn, I calmly walked in and was given a line to say from the script.

My line was "You can't kill me, I am the king's right-hand woman".

I climbed the stage and faced the judges, I calmly took a deep breath in before opening my eyes and staring coldly at the judges before pointing to one of them and said," You can't kill me, I am the king's right-hand woman".

After saying that line, I got caught up in what I was performing that I began to say other lines with their matched expressions.

"Buzz, congratulation, you've gotten the role, by this time tomorrow you should be here to sign the contract" the head of the judges said stopping me from rambling on.

I was excited, I vowed deeply, thanking them before going out of the room.

I received glares from other participants which were mainly from A list actress on my way out of the company. Furthermore, I couldn't care less because I was so happy.

Not only that, but I can't wait to share the news with Felicity.

I got to the Mr. Steve's house in the evening to celebrate with Felicity and her parents, cause me getting the role is a breakthrough.

Everyone was happy after they heard have been accepted as a female lead in the role.

Ken POV:

What bad luck, Iris has to shoot a movie with me. I rolled lazily on my king-sized bed and kept thinking about my childhood sweetheart, who made me turn into a Playboy because I couldn't find her after so many years.

"Hey little girl, why are you bothering me?" young Ken asked coldly.

"Since our parents are friends, let's be friends too, or should we get married?" a young girl following him asked innocently.

"Never! Just because our parents are friends doesn't mean I should marry you, I won't marry you, you're too ugly and troublesome" young Ken spat out coldly.

"Wah, wah, why are you always mad at me, do you hate me that much?" she asked, feeling aggrieved.

Feeling touched, young Ken immediately hugged the girl.

"Am sorry, I'll marry you when I grow up,, so please stop crying".

Still sniffing, the little girl asked

"really?"

"Yh, I promise".

"Okay" she said, smiling brightly at him.

"Shit, not this again, I thought it was gone" Ken woke up from his Dreamland.

Flashes of the memories made with the young girl in his dreams appeared in his memory. Ken couldn't ever forget his childhood sweetheart whom he promised to marry but didn't know that the day he promised to marry her was the last day he'll see her. The young girl never visited again.

The pain of losing his childhood sweetheart turned Ken into a Playboy.

"Maybe it's time I let her go, it's been so long" Ken murmured to himself.

Ken made up his mind to stop all his flings and make it up to his mate because he has hurt her so bad. He feels it would be better not to dwell in the past anymore.

Ken POV:

I received a call that the female lead for the movie has been chosen,, and it was Iris. I felt neither comfortable nor uncomfortable. I know I said I'll make it up to her, but everything takes time.

Deep within me, I knew I was happy she was the one.

I called for an urgent meeting in the afternoon, both group members were to be present.

Before long, we met at our agency, took our seats in a secluded area, I couldn't help stealing glances at Iris, she was one beautiful creature, remind me why I was mean to her.

"The reason I called this meeting is to tell you that we'll have to postpone the song we were working on, we have too much at hand now, so why not focus on the smaller things first, then we'll make a comeback after I and Iris's movie shoot?" I asked.

"Sounds good to me" Min said.

"Sure"

"I agree"

"Same"

All chorused.

"Since there are no objections, this meeting is over".

Everyone got up to leave.

"Iris, you stay back" I said to her.

My first step in getting closer to her was to apologize for my attitude towards her, and that's what I'm going to do. I was a nervous wreck.

"Hmm" she grunted displeasingly.

The room remained silent with just I and Iris in the room with no one to break the silence.

"So why'd you stop me, make it quick, I don't have too much of time" she broke the silence with anger. I felt hurt but am sure it wasn't up to the pain I caused her.

"Am sorry for everything have done to you".

Iris POV:

Wait, did Ken just apologise to me?? What the hell's happening.
