Tyler started laughing, releasing her hand to discuss the upcoming scenes with the director. By the time they wrapped up for the day, the sun was setting. The director clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.
"Tyler's treating everyone to drinks tonight. Everyone free?"
Anna's eyes lit up, guessing Tyler's generosity might be on her account.
When the crew disbanded, transportation became the next concern. Anna made her way directly to Tyler.
"Tyler, give me a ride, will you?"
"Sure thing."
Tyler always had a warm smile on his face, and the mole on his nose gave him an air of charm. Athena stood at a distance, watching the scene unfold but said nothing. She knew she wasn’t in a position to protest. Just watching Tyler from afar was enough for her.
Doris grasped Athena’s hand, clearly frustrated with her friend’s lack of initiative.
“Come on, go up to him. Tell Tyler you don't have a car and ask for a lift. His SUV is huge; there’s plenty of room. Look at Anna, practically leaning against him.”
“Doris, let's just go.”
Athena, having reached a modest level of fame, did have a personal ride—not exactly cheap, but still a far cry from the luxury vehicles some stars flaunted. It was a bit humble compared to others, but she didn’t care much about appearances.
The group headed to a bar. Since they had filming the next day, the director had already advised everyone to take it easy on the drinks.
As soon as Athena arrived, she scanned the place for Tyler, only to find out from someone that he and Anna had gone to a private lounge upstairs.
The upstairs lounges were for VIPs, while the one they were in was for regular guests. The bar wasn’t exclusive; anyone with the cash could access the upper level, but there was a hefty minimum spend—ten grand to start with.
Doris saw Athena considering going up and quickly stepped in.
“Are you nuts? You’re going to drop ten grand just to see Tyler? What if you walk in on something you don’t want to see?”
Athena paused, maintaining a calm demeanor. “I just want to see him. He rarely visits the set, and it might be a while before I get another chance.”
“You don’t have his number?”
“No.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
