True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 205

Hanson’s essay seemed a bit rushed, and some sentences were tangled with the kind of slips they’d expect from someone speaking off the cuff. But maybe that was what made his story seem all the more credible.

Three years ago, Hanson was fourteen.

By a stroke of luck, he’d landed a gig on “Breeze of Youth.”

He played the younger brother of the lead, a sweet, shy kid who just adored his big bro.

Despite his tender age, Hanson had a real spark for acting.

Even with his limited screen time, he’d diligently memorize his lines and even sought acting tips from Joseph, the actor playing his brother.

Joseph was kind to him, saying more than once that Hanson was like a real–life little brother.

All Hanson felt was joy at the praise. He didn’t think much of it when Joseph would sling an arm around his shoulders or lean in close, laughing into his neck.

He figured it was just how boys got along when they were tight.

But as filming progressed, Joseph found more and more reasons for physical contact.

After a scene where Hanson’s character won a big game, Joseph hugged him so fiercely and planted a big kiss on his cheek.

Hanson froze, but the director seemed to love it, and with no experience to tell him otherwise, Hanson assumed this was just how things went in showbiz.
