Mated to Four Alphas Chapter 28: Important day

Silas’s POV

[One Week later]

With a blink of an eye, a week had passed. And in this one week, I had learned acting. I think I’m a fast learner because Keri even praised , saying—

"Your acting is getting better every ti I teach you."

Sigh... I’m just a talented artist, that’s why my acting is improving so quickly.

After acting classes, they also taught how to fight since I would have to do action scenes in the drama.

And today, my journey officially begins. They’ve called all the cast mbers to discuss the script and et each other. So here I am, standing outside the company, waiting for Nekol. He said he’d be here in five minutes, but it’s already been fifteen, and he still hasn’t shown up.

I was getting hella bored when a black car suddenly stopped right in front of . As the window rolled down, I saw Nekol sitting inside.

"Silas, get in."

"You know you’re fifteen minutes late? My legs started to hurt from standing here... all because I’ve been working out a lot these past few days."

I got into the passenger seat, and Nekol quickly started driving.

"I was stuck in traffic, sorry."

"It’s okay, I didn’t want you to apologize to ."

I looked out of the window, but to be honest, I was nervous. I didn’t know what was going to happen or how I would perform. What if my co-stars didn’t like ? So many questions were circling in my mind...

After a while, Nekol stopped the car in front of another company.

"Silas, don’t be nervous, okay?"

"Yeah, I won’t be nervous, but if nervousness takes over , what should I do?"

"Just trust yourself. You can do it—I believe in you."

Okay... so Nekol really trusts a lot. I should have confidence in myself too.

Nekol parked the car in the lot, and we took the stairs. In front of us was the waiting room, where everyone was seated on chairs. Just then, I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. I quickly turned around to see who it was.

"You!"

The guy I had t in the dorm a week ago was standing right in front of . I thought he was a ghost who had committed suicide, but I guess I was worrying for nothing—he was alive.

"What kind of reaction is that? At least pretend to be happy to see ."

"But I’m not happy to see you at all, so why would I pretend?"

Nekol suddenly leaned in and whispered in my ear—

"He’s the male lead in the drama you’re working on."

"What?"

He... he’s the male lead? But how??? Well, it doesn’t really matter who the male lead is.

Nekol went ahead to greet the crew, leaving and Lysander standing there.

"Cough~... So, Lysander, how have you been? Did you eat anything?"

His eyes widened at my sudden change in attitude. He leaned closer to my face.

"Why did your behavior suddenly change?"

"My behavior didn’t change. It’s just common courtesy to reply to soone."

"Yeah, yeah, common courtesy—I can see that."

His eyebrows were raised as if teasing . I quickly turned around and showed him my back, but he still ca forward and stood beside . Folding my arms across my chest, I scanned the entire room. Just then, Nekol ca up to .

"Let’s go."

He started walking ahead, and I followed alongside Lysander. It felt uneasy—so many people were staring at us. I think it was because Lysander was already a very popular actor.

I glanced at him. He does look handso, and his black hair really suits him.

As we stepped into the eting room, a middle-aged man with white hair sat on the main chair. The room was set up for a formal eting, with actors’ nas and their respective roles labeled on each chair.

There had been many people in the waiting room earlier, but now, only a few were inside.

Nekol and the other managers left, leaving only the actors and the man in charge.

As I was searching for my seat, Lysander suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled into the chair beside him. I was caught off guard. I didn’t like how he had pulled like that, but then I saw the na on the chair—

Silas (MC).

Oh... so this was my seat. That must be why Lysander did that. But he could’ve just told instead of pulling down like that.

I glanced at his chair.

Lysander (ML).

When I looked back at him, I caught him smiling at . I ignored him and focused on the man in front.

Thanks to Nekol’s briefing in the car, I knew who he was. The man with white hair was Director Wang—one of the most well-known directors in the industry. He always brings sothing new to his dramas, and because of that, any actor who works with him ends up becoming famous. That’s why he only casts talented people in his projects.

Wait... my na was on the chair, which ans I’ve been selected as the main character in this drama. But Director Wang hasn’t even seen my acting yet...

I was lost in thought when I suddenly felt a sharp pinch on my hand. I flinched from the pain and snapped back to reality—it was Lysander.

"What are you doing?" I glared at him.

"Director Wang is calling you."

I turned my gaze toward Director Wang. He was looking at , and so was everyone else in the room. I must’ve been so lost in thought that I hadn’t even heard him call my na.

"Yes, Director Wang?"

"Your na must be Silas, right?"

"Yes, my na is Silas."

He paused and stared at intently, as if scanning with his eyes. His gaze made nervous, and I gripped the chair tightly. Just then, Lysander placed his hand over mine—as if to calm down.

And strangely... it was working. I was starting to feel calm too.
