Ryan Lancaster was lounging around in his room watching a scene on one of the shows' he had starred in - Being Me.

Ring! Ring! Bzzz... Ring! Ring! Bzzz...

His phone buzzed endlessly on the table on where he had placed his feet on.

Ryan currently:(⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠)

A clean 'Manager Wu' was displayed on his screen as the phone bounced up and down on the table several times in succession.

His dark pupils glanced at it for longer than a minute before a tired sigh escaped his thin, sculptured lips.

"You-! Why didn't you answer immediately?! I've rang you for several minutes! When I get you - you don't want to know what I'll do to-"

"What? Fuck me up? Is that what you called for? Get to the point Wu." His voice was deep and attractive giving one a sense of safety and security as well as a feeling of danger if provoked.

"You- Why- Anyways, be ready in fifteen. I'll be picking you up. You got a new project for the next month." He chocked in flusteredness then calmed down and stated the purpose of the call.

He couldn't afford to offend the big thigh that he was clinging on. Even though he was the agent of this big shot, it was as if he was the one following orders and not the other way around! He was also a big shot!- just not as much as Ryan.

Ugh, He would have to relax himself during the weekend since he was so strung up around this big thigh that was a major pain in the ass for him.

"What project? I thought I was on break since I'd just finished 'The Lost Wind' a week ago." Ryan furrowed his thick, dense and sharp brows as his voice turned slightly cold.

Having worked on two dramas at the same time took a toll on him- he would have to admit. Wearing those heavy wigs and then twenty inch make up alongside fifty kg robes was quite much(1). And that was just for one drama. He had just gotten a break from showbiz then this....

Ryan massaged his forehead.

"Yes, but you have to do this. Take this as a vacation since it will be on an island - Nuvar. It's a reality show that shows the life of big shots on vacation or holiday." Wu replied anxiously. He had to get Ryan on this show.

"Reality show? Do I care? What does that have to do with-"

"CEOs like Fu Yuzheng and bigwigs like Young Master Grey will be there! Do you realize what kind of fame boost you'll get acting in a reality show with them?! Please, Lancaster do me a favour." Manager Wu cut him off and tried to convince Ryan with his frequent friends.

Ryan let out a sigh hearing his manager beg him. The last time had heard him beg was when he was sword deep ins-

"Fine. Just send me the script and materials needed for the show. Now." He cut the line before Manager Wu could say anything.

Putting his phone down, he glanced at the tv that had been paused and on for a while.

Ryan leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling before placing a hand over his face.

Hmm...Grey and Yuzheng would be there together with others...

A slight smile appeared on his devilishly handsome face as his Adams apple bobbed.

"This will be interesting...." His gaze darkened inexplicably beneath his hand.

He then stood up and put his hand in the pocket of his workout shorts.

Leisurely picking up a piece of cookies on the counter of his kitchen, he stolled to his room with lazy steps biting into it.

His room could give goosebumps to anyone who entered it with no lights accompanying them. Since the walls were painted black, sheets black, carpet black and closed curtains black. If you entered it with the lights off you would think it was a dark empty space with nothing existing.

Ryan liked it that way. It matched his personality very well.

He navigated it through the darkness and entered the bathroom -before the lights turned on because it was sensory- with extreme familiarity since he was used to the darkness.

Coming out of the bathroom with damp black hair, Ryan had a towel around his waist, one on his neck and the other on his head.

His abs were on full display and his sexy Adonis belt was hidden by the loosly hanging towel. Drops of water cascaded down his toned body, disappearing in the towel as he picked up a cigar from his dror.

Ryan checked his phone before frowning.

Manager Wu would be there any second.

Looks like he spent too much time in the bathroom.

Wu Tang(2) stared at the phone in his hand that showed,

Call ended by, Golden thigh.

Sighing, he opened another app and sent all the information about the show to Ryan in an instant.

After, he picked up the phone and made a few calls to some people to confirm this and that before calling the director.

"Hello Manager Wu. Has he agreed to come to my show?" Asked an eager and energetic voice from the receiving end of the line.

"Greetings Director Aaron. Yes, he has agreed fortunately. We'll be there in no time ."

Manager Wu responded calmly as if he was not talking to one of the biggest producer in the industry.

"Good! Good! Great even! I'll see you then." The Director let out a boisterous laugh and congratulated. Having Ryan in his show would definitely make it go off the charts.

"Most definitely Director." Wu Tang ended the call and leaned back in his chair.

This was not something he could brush off simply because his star threw a tantrum.

He hoped he had made a good decision .

Sighing, he grabbed the jacket and keys of his car from the desk and set off to pick up his actor.
