"Tell me, Keith, what the fuck is this? What the fuck!" In a small alley outside the studio area, Sean patiently waited for the crew to finish their work though he was furious. Then, he blocked Keith Vincent, grabbed him by the collar, and pressed him against the wall.

He stared at him fiercely and said, "You planned to get me drunk from the very beginning last night, didn't you? You kept urging me to whip marijuana and then called the police to say that I was attending the club because of the Drug Party!"

"I don't know what you are talking about." Keith struggled with difficulty. "Let go of me, or else..."

"Or else what? Call the police?" Sean shouted, "I treated you as a friend, but this is how you treat me? Just for a role, a role with a few lines! Is it worth it"

"What do you know!" Keith suddenly pushed his hand away angrily. "What do you know?"

His facial features were twisted, and he looked extremely ferocious, completely different from the one who liked to grumble and occasionally speaks about his dreams.

"I've been here for almost three fucking years! The roles that I got with lines were never more than ten times! I've already worked hard to fight for all sorts of opportunities! I'm willing to do anything! I've given it so much! But why do I get so little reward? Why!" Keith shouted loudly, "I see all the guys who also started as extras start to play small roles, but I never get anything. I finally got an agent, but he doesn't know anything! I want to be famous! I want to be admired by others! I don't care about using any kind of tricks! I never even treated you as a friend! Don't you fucking think too highly of yourself!"

Sean looked at him blankly, he could not believe that Keith would say that. So much so that he did not stop Keith when he left.

"What the hell is going on?" After returning to his car in a daze, Sean muttered to himself and then slammed the steering wheel. "What the hell is going on?"

When the door opened, Duke, who was sleeping comfortably in his bed, suddenly looked up. It seemed to have noticed that the sound of the door opening was heavier than before.

However, it still jumped up and ran to the door. When its master came in, it jumped up and stuck out its tongue to lick the familiar face.

"Well, you are a little guy who never washes your mouth after eating. I should be glad that there is no garlic in dog food," Sean said with a smile as he grabbed its forelimbs, but there was a hint of exhaustion in his smile.

After carrying Duke into the room and sitting down, he was silent for a long time before he spoke to himself, "Have you ever seen such a person? Just for a role that only has a few lines, he can betray his friends and use any means possible... I really don't understand. Compared with Holliewood, other places are completely two different worlds..."

Sean sighed as the matter was clear. It was obvious that when Keith said, "As long as you can't act, I can take over." He had already planned everything secretly. After that, when Sean successfully hit on Jordana on the set of "Killer in High School," it confirmed Keith's motives.

First, in the name of celebration, Keith dragged him to a bar that was not so strict, then got him drunk as much as possible. At the same time, Keith instigated him to smoke marijuana. In Antasey or in the entire West, it was basically impossible to have never smoked marijuana as a student, and Sean was no exception.

The last thing Keith did was call the police and drag him into some drug-related cases. It was very simple to do. As long as he asked someone or watched TV, he would definitely find a suitable one.

In short, he wanted Sean to miss the set the next day and, at the same time, smear his image.

Frankly speaking, it wasn't like Sean hadn't seen someone who was willing to frame others in order to achieve their own goals in his previous life. But... Was it worth it? It was just a small role. What kind of deep hatred would make Keith do such a thing?

If the first two matters were just some small tricks, the last one was very serious. Fortunately, Sean was very restrained in high school and did not smoke a lot of marijuana. Last night, even though he was drunk, he still refused that thing. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble if the police found out that something was wrong and made a urine test.

Even though that was the worst-case scenario, who knew if it would not happen? Moreover... That fellow should be pleased to see it.

"If Neil and the others knew about this, they would definitely laugh to death." Sean sighed again. He seemed to care too much about the taste of growing up again and forgotten a lot of things.

"So, you better keep your mouth shut." He grabbed Duke's forelimbs and threatened, "Don't let me kill you because you know too much."

Unfortunately, the puppy did not give him any face and called out twice, even turning its head to the side.

"What? How dare you laugh at me?" Sean immediately scratched its chin, and the dog barked twice before jumping to the ground and running away.

Seeing it wagging its tail and hiding in a corner to peek at him, Sean finally felt better, but only a little. Keith kept appearing in front of him, especially his last crazy look. He could not get rid of it. When he thought of the words Frederick had warned him, he felt even more upset.

"So crazy," Sean said. Although he wanted to tell himself that this was a special case and did not represent anything, he was still quite depressed.

Then, there was another quarrel outside the door.

"I beg you, Ms. Walters. I promise it will go through in a few days." Just as he opened the door, these words came from the other side, eager and terrified.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"I've heard enough of your promise. Either pack your things and get lost, or I'll call the police!" The landlady's voice sounded impatient.

"Please listen to me, Ms. Walters. Please hear me out..." The beautiful woman stood at the door, constantly begging. She looked even more haggard.

Unfortunately, the landlady was unmoved and insisted that she pack her things.

Sean couldn't help but sigh secretly. He felt a bit of sympathy for her. At the same time, he felt a bit ashamed. Previously, he had maliciously guessed that she was a prostitute due to boredom. Now, it seemed that with her looks, if she were really a prostitute, she wouldn't have to worry about the rent at all.

"Now! Right now!" Ms. Walters gave her final ultimatum.

Sean could not see the woman's expression, but from her slightly trembling back, he could outline in his mind her look of despair. Sean sighed again and turned back.

"I beg you, Ms. Walters. My agent has already arranged an audition for me. As long as I pass..." These words that were almost choked with sobs immediately shocked him.

Sean was stunned for two seconds before turning his head in surprise. However, he only saw her back as she entered the room. He involuntarily wanted to chase after her, but he stopped after only two steps. After hesitating for a few seconds, he chose to wait outside.

He did not wait long. Soon, the woman came out with different bags. Then, the landlady slammed the door and left without looking back. She did not give her any face at all.

The woman still had her back to Sean. She lowered her hand while one hand clutched her arm, and her body trembled slightly. She stood there, not knowing what to do. It was clear that she had no other place to go, and she probably did not have much money on her.

"If you don't have anywhere else to go... You can stay here with me." After a few minutes of silence, Sean blurted out.

The woman turned her head in surprise and then leaned back. Her eyes filled with tears were obviously vigilant, but at the same time, it was pitiful.

Sean scratched his head as he suddenly felt a little awkward. He did not know why he blurted those words. It was as if he had been preparing for a long time and said it naturally.

However, since he had said it, there was no point in regretting it. Moreover, seeing that the other party did not immediately reject him, he knew that his previous guess was correct. Therefore, he hurriedly made a gesture of "please wait a moment" and turned back to his room. After packing up some things, he grabbed Duke and walked back.

"Don't worry. I'll go to the motel. There are washed covers in the wardrobe. You can use them. Of course, you can use your own," Sean said while throwing the keys to her.

"Why... Why?" The woman asked in surprise and confusion.

"Probably..." Sean was silent for a few seconds. "Because I am a extra. A extra... whose role was just taken from him."

After saying that, Sean waved his hand and showed a wry smile before he went downstairs without looking back. He knew that he was acting as a hero just because of the same or close encounter. But who had not done something impulsively? It was better to act generously at that point.

That night, Sean tossed and turned on his bed in the motel. The scenes of the day kept flooding into his mind. He thought about Keith, who used all kinds of methods, the reality that was hard to accept, and the woman who had no other choice.

Thus, he only returned to the apartment when it was almost ten o'clock the next day.

After knocking on the door, Sean could not help but open his mouth. The small room had been cleaned up, almost spotless. It was not that he used to be sloppy. Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he started to clean his own room at a very young age. However, as a man, he was definitely not as meticulous as a woman when it came to housework.

"I don't have anything else to do, so... I hope I didn't break your things or destroy your habits..." The woman who had changed outfit explained, but she was a little hesitant.

"No, it's nothing. This is great. I could never make it this clean," Sean said as he understood what she was thinking,

The woman smiled and stood there, not knowing what to do. For a moment, she was a little awkward.

"By the way, my name is Sean. I am Sun Franlisco," Sean introduced himself again.

"Yes, I know, Sean Thomas. I heard it last time," The woman said with a smile and breathed a sigh of relief. "My name is Naomi, Naomi Woltz. I am from Genovia."

"It's nice to meet you, Naomi. Your... Hmm, your accent is very nice. I thought you were Anglish." Sean scratched his head and asked curiously.

"In fact, I was born in Angland. I moved to Genovia with my mother at the age of 14," Naomi explained, "You were too rash, Sean. You don't know me at all, but you gave me the apartment key without thinking. What if I was a bad person? Or a swindler?"

Sean was stunned for a few seconds. Why did it seem like she was teaching a child? Was this change too fast?

"Wait... Wait, how did you know... I mean, do I look like... A little brat who doesn't know anything?" Sean raised his hands and asked in a dissatisfied tone.

"Of course. You are not even twenty years old," Naomi was straightforward, but then she realized something and became a little embarrassed again. "Well... the neighbors told me."

Sean was stunned at first, but then he broke into laughter. Naomi also raised her hand in embarrassment. As a result, the two of them became much more harmonious.

"I believe you are not that kind of person," Sean said, "Maybe my opinion is not necessarily accurate, but you should not be."

At this point, he revealed a sly smile. "Besides, you must have left some information with the landlord, didn't you?"

Naomi also laughed and became more relaxed. It was only then that the two of them sat down.

"Thank you, Sean. If not..." After pouring him a glass of water, Naomi took a deep breath.

"It's nothing. It's effortless." Sean shrugged. "After all... I know that feeling. If I hadn't found a job for a extra on set, perhaps I would have already faced that situation."

Seeing the other party's questioning gaze, he went on. From when he came to Las Angelos alone to when he was doing all sorts of part-time jobs to earn money, in his embarrassment, he accidentally bumped into an agent. Then, he became a temporary actor and so on, including the various auditions and Keith's betrayal, he told the other party.

"Actually, your agent is right." When Sean asked her what she thought, Naomi was silent for a few seconds. Then, she revealed a bitter smile. "There are many incidents like Keith here, especially between small actors. For an opportunity..."

When she said this, she raised her head and looked out the window. Her expression became a little dazed. "It has been ten years since I started to be in advertisements..."
