"Huh?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Tyler dropped his gaze and clutched his mug so tightly his knuckles whitened.

"Is she seeing anyone else now?"

Bert had been keeping an eye on Athena lately. After all, she was the woman bold enough to play his best friend like a fiddle.

"No. She's just landed a supporting role in some TV drama. Didn't her agency blacklist her a while back? She's got no decent offers now, just bit parts that barely last three episodes."

Tyler's response was slow, as if someone were pressing down on his throat, squeezing the sound from him.

Bert couldn't help but wonder if Tyler was seriously thinking about getting back together with Athena. Before he could say anything, Tyler spoke up, "Aren't you producing a show right now? Give her the second female lead."

Tyler knocked his hand away and stared down into his mug.
