Prologue: Hi I'm Jane

"Miss Jane you need to wake up now or you will be late for your interview."

"Ughh Anna please let me sleep for five more minutes."

"I told you to sleep early yesterday so you won't have a hard time waking up! Now you're complaining?"

"Fine fine I'll get up now," I said as I got up and walked straight to my bathroom.

Hmp she's so strict, maybe Criselda scolded her the last time we arrived late in an interview because I slept late and did not get up early.

Oh and by the way I'm Jane, Isabella Jane Rivera. But nobody calls me Isabella except Diem, I have long wavy dark brown hair, a doll like eyes, pinkish lips, and a pointed nose. My height is 5'7 and I'm 26 years old.

Anna Mae is my assistant, she's three years older than me, we live together here in my condo because I can't survive without her. She helps me in everything including getting my make-up done, preparing my outfit, cooking, and more.

Criselda is my manager, her duty is to handle all of my schedules as an actress. I'd say she's strict maybe that's because she's in her late 30's or she just loves me so much that she always scolds me haha.

"Miss Jane what's taking you so long?!"

"Uh n-nothing!" I quickened my pace so I would finish doing my morning routine before she shouts at me again.

"Please help me!" I called her because I can't reach the zipper of my dress.

"What happened!" she said as she opened the door panicking.

"Uh I can't reach the zipper can you help me with it?"

"Oh my god! I thought something bad happened to you!"

"You're so needy, are you aware of that?"

"Yes I know, but you still love me though."

"Of course" I smiled upon hearing that, not because I love her as a girl and I blushed after I heard her say that, but because it feels nice to hear that someone admits that they love you and they care for you, it feels nice to know that you're important.

"You're spacing out again."

"You better hurry or we'll be late."

"Yeah I don't want to hear Criselda's long speech about how I should wake up earlier or whatever", I quickly put on my heels and grabbed my bag so we could head out.

"But admit it she could pass as a rapper. She talks really fast when she's mad... don't tell her I mentioned that hahaha", she said while we were walking to the parking lot.

"I think she'll even beat Eminem in a rap battle!" I stated then both of us laughed.

"Wow, I'm surprised you two aren't late today."

"Of course! I got up early today!" I proudly said.

"Oh dear, you barely even made it in time."

I pouted 'cause of that, she could've complimented me because this doesn't happen very often. I quietly sat at my chair so Anna can start applying make-up on my face.

After that, they informed me about the questions that they will ask me later, most of it were about my career or my hobbies but one question caught my attention and it even made me smirk when I heard them say it.

"Good morning miss Jane Rivera." the host greeted me.

"Good morning thank you for having me here."

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm doing great."

"Can you tell me why do you have such a great complexion? Like wow, your skin is really smooth."

"Uhh thank you for that, I'm flattered, but I guess it's because my assistant and manager take really good care of me."

"That's great, What is your inspiration whenever you are acting?"

"I'd say, my family."

"How are you so good in every role and every movie that you have acted in?"

"Maybe it's because most of my roles are slightly close to my real personality and we share the same struggles that I've experienced before."

They asked me a lot of questions, she probably asked me 50 questions... but they had to ask the question that caught my attention last.

"So a lot of people are curious of your relationship status since you did not have a single dating rumour for the past two years, are you dating someone right now?"

"No, I'm single."

"What's your relationship with the young CEO Mr. Diem Fernsby?" tch is she a host or she's an undercover reporter? Why do people care about my love life?

"He's my bestfriend."

"Is there's a chance, would you date him?"

"I don't know, I can't imagine myself dating him"

That was the last question so I thanked them and we rode the car to go home since that was my only schedule for the day.

While scrolling through my Instagram my phone suddenly beeped.

Diem: Hey are you busy?

Me: no...why?

Diem: good, visit my office. Let's eat lunch together.

Me: no thanks I'd rather watch movies in my condo.

Diem: aw come on! I even bought Carbonara for you.

Me: aw that's my favorite! 'kay I'll be there.

He just left me on read, I then asked my driver to turn the car and go to Diem's company. I also called Criselda to inform her about this so she won't be surprised and she won't get mad in case some media personnel sees us.

Anna is also contemplating if she'll ask me why we did I ask my driver to go to Diem's company but she just shut her mouth and shrugged.

"Why won't you ask me?"

"Uh I don't know, but I'm sure you won't do anything stupid so I just kept quiet hahaha."

"I'll have a lunch date with Diem."

"Date?! Oh my"

"No that like the date for couples, just a friendly date"

"And what made you agree to this date?"

"Uh... Carbonara?" I said, she then laughed at me and teased me until we arrived at his company.

"Bye take care!"

"You too!" I waved my hands and waited for them to leave.

I then walked inside the lobby, of course, I'm wearing shades so she won't recognize me as much.

"Good morning ma'am."

"Good morning I'm here for Diem."

"Do you have a scheduled appointment with him ma'am?"

"Yes, she does."

"G-Good morning sir!" he just smiled at her.

"Shall we go?" I nodded and quietly followed him in his car, he didn't even open the car door for me so I just glared at him.

"What? Why are you staring at me? Am I that handsome?"

"Whatever let's just go." what a jerk grr.

He's Sebastian Diem Fernsby, a CEO and he's my bestfriend, He has a sharp jawline, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, and blue eyes. He's a jerk but I still love him, as a brother, because he's the first person who took care of me and made me feel wanted and important, he's the only friend who acknowledged my existence, he's the only friend who chose me.
