The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

SNOW looked around the island he'd be staying on for the next few days. It was a small island that looked exactly like a coastal town. If he didn't know that they were on a filming studio planet, he might have really thought that way.

"Let's go, Snow," his manager, David, called to him.

He nodded, and they got into the land vehicle that would bring them to the hotel.

Today would be Snow's first filming for this movie. Although his role was not that big, he was determined to make the best out of it. He would play this role to the best of his ability. If he did, he believed that good opportunities would come his way after this movie was released.

But first, he had to make sure that he wouldn't be 'devoured' by Charlotte Anderson once the two of them began acting together.

Although both of them were newcomers to this industry, he's not embarrassed to admit that the other was much better than him in terms of acting. It's not just because the other had more experience, he just instantly felt it when they exchanged lines during the script reading.

If he didn't give his best during their scene together, he would be led along by her. The result would probably be acceptable. But only solely because of Charlotte. The general public would probably not be able to notice that, but anyone with a good eye would be able to see that the scene was only good because Charlotte's acting was great.

Snow hoped that it would not come to that. That's why he had been spending more time practicing the past two weeks. After school, he would go to Polaris to receive lessons. Then once he returned home, he would do individual practice. He just hoped that his hard work was enough.

Arriving at the hotel, just as they entered the building, two familiar figures walked out of the elevator exactly at the same time. One was a beautiful young man with black hair and black eyes, and the other was a young woman with a listless expression, as if she hadn't fully woken up yet.

When Snow saw them, the two also happened to glance in his direction.

Astrid smiled brightly when he saw him and waved. "Snow!"

A small smile also appeared on Snow's lips. He raised his hand and also waved.

He moved forward with his manager, and the other two also walked in their direction. The four of them met mid-way.

"Why are you here so early? I thought your filming schedule is still in the afternoon," Astrid started.

"It's better to be early than late," Snow only said. "Besides, I also want to watch the morning shooting."

"Then, have you two eaten breakfast?" Astrid asked. "If not, then join us. We're on our way to the cafeteria."

At the mention of that, Snow finally turned his gaze to Charlotte. The other looked like she was still not completely awake, as evidence of the big yawn she just made.

Thinking of how he decided to get along well with Charlotte, having breakfast with her would definitely be a good start. But he should make sure first that he wasn't intruding.

"Is it alright if we join you?"

"Of course," Astrid said before turning to Charlotte. "It's fine, right?"

Charlotte yawned and then nodded. "Yes, I don't mind."

"You three go on ahead," David said.

"Are you sure? You also haven't eaten breakfast yet, right?" Snow asked his manager. Since they left the capital pretty early, he knew the other also hadn't eaten anything.

"It's fine. I'd rather take a short nap. I can just drink a nutrient solution later," David said. Then he suddenly turned to Astrid. "But where is Miss Ellis?"

Astrid let out an awkward laugh, especially because of the message he read in the manager's eyes. It's like the other was silently saying, 'Surely, you're not planning to eat alone with a female celebrity? What would you have done if we didn't appear at this moment?'. His gaze certainly felt like that.

"She's already at the cafeteria," he answered.

Ellis went ahead of them to avoid Charlotte's manager, Krysta. Although the latter would surely join them later, for Ellis, it's still a win if she could decrease her interaction with her.

It's not that Krysta was annoying. Ellis probably just couldn't handle the blatant admiration the other had for her. And when he said 'blatant', it's to the point that she looked like she would want to stick to Ellis' side 24/7 if she's not working as Charlotte's manager.

Unfortunately for her, Ellis didn't share the same feelings.

For everyone's sake, hopefully it wouldn't escalate further.

David nodded, seemingly telling himself, 'as expected, there's no way Miss Ellis would make a rookie mistake like that'.

Astrid truly wanted to correct his misunderstanding. Even if he and Charlotte ended up having breakfast alone, the possibility of a controversy arising because of that was very low. And even if, on the off-chance, a controversy did arise, it could easily be proven wrong. After all, it's not true.

Besides, as much as he hated to admit it, a relationship rumor between him and Charlotte would actually be good publicity. Although a certain white wolf would definitely make a fuss about it.

As David walked to the elevator, the three of them walked in the direction of the cafeteria.

Arriving there, Astrid quickly looked for Ellis. He easily spotted the other and walked to the table where she was. Snow and Charlotte followed along.

Astrid purposely sat beside Ellis. That way, Snow and Charlotte could sit beside each other. Maybe sitting close to each other would close the distance between them.

"Have you already ordered, Sister Ellis?" he asked.

Ellis was about to say no when a message notification sounded on her Terminal. When she saw that it was a message from Grant - the president of Polaris, she quickly opened it.

Reading the content of the message, her eyes widened in surprise. She raised her head and looked at Astrid.

"Astrid, you— you've been shortlisted for the Rookie of the Year Award at the Silver Moon Awards."
