For some reason, Sean felt that Naomi's name was a little familiar. He could not be sure if he heard of it in his previous life. After all, it was just like what he had said before. Although the memories would not disappear, they required enough stimulation to recall them. Even so, the memories were scattered and fragmented. It was very easy to mix into other things and become ambiguous. So, in the end, he was too lazy to recall them.

Despite this, he still admired Naomi. She had just celebrated her 30th birthday not long ago. Before this, she had been a model, a fashion designer, and an assistant to a fashion magazine editor. However, she had always been on the path of an actor.

Even though she had obtained the first role from the age of 18 and had developed from Genovia to Holliewood while experiencing many things, she had never had a single piece of work that was phenomenal. Still, she persisted.

Originally, at the end of 1997, she finally got a very significant supporting role in a TV series on MBC, but she was cut off halfway because the ratings were too low after the broadcast. Her poor financial situation fell into a serious crisis because of that. Now, she had an overdraft on two credit cards, and her medical insurance was reimbursed because she could not pay the fees. She also constantly changed apartments. If not for Sean's help, she could only sleep in her old car last night.

Even so, Naomi still did not give up.

"My mother had been an actor for a period of time, a stage actor. When I was 10, I saw her performing on the stage and made up my mind to be an actress too." When Sean asked her what she was going to do, Naomi, who was smiling, did not answer directly. Instead, she began to tell him her story from the beginning.

"Just like what some psychologists said, everyone has the desire to perform secretly. They want to show themselves, to be different, and receive applause. So even though the assistant's work was not bad, I left it behind for a role. Of course, if I knew that it would turn out this way, I would definitely retreat. But now, I just want to persevere. I don't want to fall just like that. Otherwise, the time and energy I sacrificed would be meaningless." She spoke very calmly, unable to see the resentment of being kicked out by the landlady yesterday. The firmness in her tone was very obvious.

But at the same time, she unconsciously curled up in the chair and hugged her legs, looking very contradictory.

"You will, Naomi. There are many things that would succeed just because you held on a little longer. You will definitely be able to make something about it," Sean comforted.

"Thank you." Naomi lowered her head before quickly raising it again. "I will ask my manager to think of a way as soon as possible. After finding a new job... I will move out. But you should still move back before that."

"Huh?" Sean, who was about to put on a generous look, was stunned.

"This place is not too small. You can lay another bed on the ground, and I can sleep on it," Naomi explained, but her voice became a little smaller.

After pondering for a bit, Sean understood. It was obvious that she did not have much confidence in getting the role that she had recently auditioned for. If she did not get it, she was afraid that she would not be able to go to the new apartment for a period of time. However, she could not always occupy the apartment that originally belonged to someone else and let him live in a motel. Therefore, she proposed a plan that could solve the current problem to a certain extent and also maintained the little bit of self-esteem she had.

As for the awkwardness that might occur later, it was no longer a concern. After all, after the previous conversation, the two of them had a certain understanding of each other and could trust each other.

"Alright, but there is a condition," Sean said, "Let me sleep on the ground."

No matter what, it was impossible to let a woman sleep on the ground, even though she was older than herself.

Thus, this strange life of cohabitation began. Although there was still a small space for the two of them to move about, there was only one room after all. So there would occasionally be some awkward moments.

For example, when Naomi woke up early in the morning, she saw a certain person's morning wood. Or when Sean just entered the door, he saw Naomi, who had just finished taking a shower. She was wearing a pair of underpants and a short-sleeved shirt. It was seductive.

It was inevitable since a man and a woman were in the same room. It was such a narrow room. Fortunately, both of them were restrained and were good at adjusting. The atmosphere in the apartment was maintained very well.

Sean also spoke a lot about family matters on his parents, himself, and his sister. Because Liana was only a few years younger than Naomi, he talked most about her. For example, Sean's sister liked to use her identity to pressure others, or she always liked to call Sean "Greedy Pig" and so on.

This nickname came from when he was a child. Sean, who was reborn as a baby, could not take care of himself for a long time. It was normal for him to urinate anywhere. The most important thing was that his brain was still developing. When he overthought, he instinctively fell asleep to protect himself because of excessive oxygen consumption. Therefore, he slept much more than when he was awake. He also had this nickname.

Although Sean did not say the last part, Naomi still laughed wildly after listening to the explanation.

In addition, Naomi would occasionally buy some food to cook. The taste was not as good as the chef's skills in restaurants, but it was better to have freshly cooked food. Therefore, Sean did not have to eat outside all the time.

At this time, Sean would play the guitar and sing for her. His singing voice was not the best, but it also had a special characteristic. Duke sometimes performed too. The little thing was very human. When Sean was bored before, he had trained it a lot.

For example, Sean pointed the gun at it and then let out a "bang" sound. After that, Duke lay on the ground with its limbs facing the sky, as if it had been shot to death.

However, it was always delayed by five or six seconds. Sometimes, Sean even had to reward Duke with something to eat before it was willing to fall to the ground. It was quite funny.

Naomi liked Duke very much. After all, small and round furry creatures had always been very attractive, let alone obedient. Duke also liked Naomi very much. Sometimes, she only needed to call out to it. Duke, playing in Sean's arms a second ago, immediately jumped into Naomi's arms, making Sean very depressed.

However, sometimes he also felt regretful. Naomi was very beautiful. Although she was just thirty years old, she was still in the golden age of women. Her figure was also very well-proportioned. Her faintly discernible mature aura was beautiful.

As a man and a vigorous young man, it was inevitable that Sean, who lived under the same roof, would look at her more. Naomi would sometimes notice his gaze, but she did not say anything.

If not for the fact that they were currently living together, Sean would have definitely found a way to ask her out. In the end, he could only use the memory of the other girl, Jordana Bruce, to divert his attention.

That girl was also charming. She was the first girl that Sean wanted to seriously go on a date with after coming to Las Angelos. Unfortunately, he did not have a cell phone, and there was no landline in his room. If he wanted to make a phone call, he had to go to the street. Moreover, the other party lived in New Jedo, so he had not made a call after getting her number.

However, even though he had wild thoughts in this aspect, they did not occupy his mind. He was usually thinking about finding a job, a role, and find opportunities.

Originally, after Keith's shock, Sean had also wondered if he could adapt to this industry and whether he should leave as soon as possible.

If there were no accidents, he, who had no ambitions, for the time being, would live a leisurely life. He would do what he wanted to do after saving enough money and spend more than ten years looking for his life goal, becoming the idlest reborn person, if there was this title.

However, Sean suddenly changed his mind after the crisis of the audition, his agent's warning, Keith's betrayal, and his heroic act of letting Naomi stay with him for the time being. He wanted to continue.

As said previously, Sean was not an idealist. He had lived two lives and knew very well what reality was like. Moreover, Naomi had told him many things about the industry. For example, she had also been robbed of her role. Also, she quit after becoming the protagonist of a good TV series because she was naive. The reason was that she did not want to spend two or three years acting in soap dramas.

As for some things, Naomi did not say. But Sean knew that she must have encountered it. She was so attractive. How could she never? Similarly, he also knew what she had chosen. Otherwise, even if she could not become a big star, at least she would not fall to the point where she could not even afford to pay rent.

And what left the deepest impression on Sean was a story that Naomi had told about human affection. No one knew that she and the famous Nicola Kidmon were classmates.

Yes, the wife of the big Holliewood star, Tory Craz. She was a very eye-catching beauty in "Always Batman." At that time, Sean was dragged by his friends to watch this movie repeatedly. Even in his previous life, they were famous.

Not only had Naomi acted in a movie with Nicola, but she had also participated in her bachelorette party before she got married. Their relationship was definitely not ordinary. However, when she was faced with difficulties and sought help from her and some of Holliewood's friends, they never fulfilled them after making a lot of promises.

There had never been fairness in this world. However, in this world, one has to persevere in certain things.

Friends, family, lover, kinship, friendship, love, or what Antasian's always liked saying, "Do the right things, and so." Perhaps if the world was easy going and without edges, people could live better, but people without perseverance would definitely not reach their peak.

Sean was not at that level, but he did not want to be a deserter nor admit defeat just like that. He did not want to leave before he had even tried. Since a woman like Naomi could persevere, why could he not?

Therefore, he became more active in being an extra. At the same time, he waited observantly. Opportunities were always given to people who were prepared.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't we already agree before? Now that the filming is about to start, you tell me that there's a conflict in the schedule. Who does he think he is!" In the corner of Pamond's studio, a middle-aged man with a beard roared in anger.

"Eric, calm down, Eric." An assistant beside him raised his hands and was about to appease him.

"Calm down? So many people are waiting for that kid here! We're waiting for him to start shooting, but he called and said he couldn't come! How can I calm down!" The middle-aged man called Eric continued to shout.

"Maybe we can shoot other parts or change the script first. Since there is no conflict in the plot." Another man suggested. It was the director of the TV series.

"Don't even think about it!" The middle-aged man flatly denied.

"But... our progress is very tight, Mr. Reese." Another assistant carefully reminded.

"Then immediately find someone to replace him!" Eric Reese waved his hand fiercely and strode over to the extras' resting area. "Listen, can anyone speak Vertalian?"

When he walked this way, there was a slight commotion. Although they could not hear clearly, they all saw the severity of the situation. However, after the request was made, the people eager to try all revealed hesitant looks. This was Las Angelos. There were a lot of extras who knew Spanish, but those who understood Vertalian were few.

Reese asked in a loud voice again. His brows furrowed, and he seemed rather unhappy.

Then, at this time, an arm was raised high from the crowd. "I know, sir."

It was a young man, about twenty to twenty-five years old. His expression was very calm, and his facial features were angular. He had the vitality of a young man and was quite mature. He was contradictory and unified, giving people a special feeling.

"You know? How is your fluency?" Reese, however, did not care about those features. Instead, he immediately asked in Vertalian.

"Not bad, sir. My high school girlfriend is Vertalian. I have learned a lot from her and usually have no problem with conversations. I can also write some sentences that are not so complicated." The other party introduced himself at a moderate pace.

Reese waved his hand, asked him to come over, and circled twice in front of him. The young man who was well-matched had neither unconfident nor overbearing expression, which revealed a bit of praise in Reese's gaze.

"Alright, what's your name?"

"Sean, Sean Thomas, sir."

"Excellent, Sean. I have an important supporting role for you now. Do you have an agent? Very Good. Call him over to sign the contract!"
