ASTRID looked around the hotel room that the crew provided to them. They just had dinner and went straight here.
The room was a double room. There were two bed separated by a bedside table. He smiled. It seemed like the director took into account that he would be bringing his brother during filming that's why he was given this room. Well, at least he and Reas didn't have to share a bed.
He sat down on the bed near the side of the window. It was soft and comfortable to the touch. Although he wasn't particular with where he was sleeping, a good bed was always welcome.
He glanced at his brother who also sat down on the other bed. His face was crumpled like he had eaten some bitter gourd. Astrid chuckled seeing that. Because he had an idea on why Reas' expression was like that.
"Reas, don't worry too much. I'm sure the person Sister Sienna talked about won't cause that much harm," he said, assuring his brother.
"How can you be so sure?" Reas asked back, his expression didn't ease at all by what Astrid said.
"You've seen Sister Sienna. She's the type who shows her emotions head on. If she doesn't like that person, she would have just directly said that he's a good for nothing bastard who thinks using the lower part of his body. The fact that she didn't mean that that person is not so hopeless and there's still something likable about him."
It was rare to see someone from the entertainment industry with such openness like Sienna. It's actually quite a surprise that someone with a personality like hers had managed to go this far. Especially in this era where artists were as abundant as the stars in the sky. Her agent and company probably had a lot to with that.
Reas' expression eased up a little when he heard that. His face no longer looked like a bitter gourd. But, of course, his worry was still there. "If he touched you in any weird way, I'll pummel him."
Astrid stood up and flicked his brother's forehead. "Stop always thinking about resorting to violence. Have you forgotten about my mental strength? If he ever tried to do that, he'll have a headache first before he could move his hand."
He was not worried that the target of his attack would think that he was the one who did it. Especially if he did it while they were surrounded by a lot of people. Besides, a headache inducing attack wasn't really something that people would immediately blame on someone's mental assault.
One should know that exerting a small amount of mental force to only cause a slight headache was very difficult. It required a lot of control and understanding of your own strength. It's actually much easier to cause a mental breakdown. Because in that, one only needed to pour out their mental strength to overwhelm the other's.
Besides, that scenario would only be possible if one had a high mental strength level. Who would actually think that someone with a SSS level of mental strength was in their midst?
People with that level of mental strength usually worked at the military or some big corporations. They certainly wouldn't work at the entertainment industry.
Reas snorted at what his brother said. But he no longer complained. Astrid knew that this was him accepting the situation.
"Come on, go and clean up. We still have an early day tomorrow," Astrid said, pulling his brother up and pushing him to the bathroom.
Reas didn't refuse and let his brother push him to the bathroom.
After that, Astrid sat back down on his bed and then leaned back comfortably on the headboard. He opened his Terminal and check the [Starnet] on news about Lauren Watts – the guy playing the villain in [The Sleeping God].
The villain in the movie was the demon lord. He suddenly appeared right after the god Aether went missing and fell into slumber.
The first picture that appeared was that of a young man with dark blond hair and a pair of light brown eyes curved into crescents. The smile on his face was so bright that it could probably light up a dark room. He was just releasing this sunny atmosphere.
Just by looking at this picture, Astrid felt that the other was very friendly and easy to get along with. He honestly couldn't see the flirtatious guy that Sienna had mentioned. This Lauren guy looked more like the most popular guy in school rather than a playboy.
He looked for the first article that appeared. It was about Lauren rumored to have a relationship with a fellow actor he worked with in his last movie. He was photographed hugging that actor, holding his hand playfully, and just being touchy-feely. The other actor didn't look annoyed or anything of the sort. In fact, he seemed to be enjoying the company.
Astrid could see that the two were not faking it. They were truly having fun the moment those pictures were taken. But he also couldn't feel any romantic atmosphere around the two. It's just like two friends hanging out.
And sure enough. The two quickly cleared up the rumors about them. Both posting a statement in their [Cybernet] accounts clearing their relationship and telling everyone they were just friends.
This was not the only dating rumor about Lauren as evidence of the articles he found. But amazingly enough, those rumors didn't last long. Because both parties involved would clear it up the very next day.
If he didn't know any better, he might have already thought that this guy just simply loved to hype himself by attaching his name to artists he worked with and then covered that up in a dating scandal. But he did know better. So, he knew that that wasn't the case.
First, if he wanted hype then he should have let those rumors ran as long as he could. And second, Polaris was known to not let their artists hype themselves in that way.
Maybe this Lauren was really just a very affectionate guy.
He shrugged, no longer caring. He closed the [Starnet] interface since his curiosity was already satisfied.
He then called his parents. Because last night when he told them that he would be starting to film today, they said to call them right after. They were probably still worried about him having his first role with no agent to support him. It actually took a lot of convincing before the two finally agreed.
After a few seconds, his mother's beautiful face finally appeared on the virtual screen.
