The one he didn't want

"And cut!"

"That was a perfect take good job everyone you are dismissed for the day" I watch the director smile to themselves before I turn to my colleagues and do a victory dance. This was the tenth damn take since 7:00 am it's now 2:00 in the evening.

"Wooh so Leon what are you doing with the rest of your day off? You got a special someone to go back home to?" this woman again. I mentally roll my eyes but nonetheless put on the most realistic smile I could muster.

"Nah I'm staying in the rest of the day" I lie.

If she doesn't take the hint I'm going to lose my shit.

"Would you like to spend the rest of the da-" I quickly cut her off with a sharp 'No' and turn around to take my leave.

I saw the hurt in her eyes but I really don't give a fuck.

Since she's a starring role along with me and happens to be my on-screen lover in the show she has been trying to get with me since day one even though I make it quite clear I'm not interested.

It's not that she isn't an attractive woman she just doesn't pique my interest.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding when I make it to my car. I'm alone I don't know whether to smile out of relief or cry out of the realization that I Kim Leon is and has been alone for three years now.

All I can do is sigh at the moment and reminisce about the best five years of my life before everything went downhill.

Since I work from home so I can spend more time with Ari I surprisingly make enough money to provide for the two of us.

My dream was to become a model when I was in middle school. A professional model but until then I just get in where I can fit in.

I'm usually only called to model for cafe ads because the people I work with all say I have a welcoming vibe and it's perfect for cafe advertisements. I get some props sent to my house and set the camera up myself inside my studio it's small but something is better than nothing.

I usually get paid two thousand for every photo the people I'm advertising for approve of I save half and use the rest for my bills and little things here and there that I and Ari need like food.

I had to get the cheapest apartment I could find at the time since I have no family here in New York besides my aunt who has a full house with her own kids I had to get the lowest priced place I could find in a short amount of time because I was just released from the hospital after giving birth to Hee-Ari.

I spent a week at a hotel until I said enough is enough and knew this wasn't how I wanted to raise my daughter.

The landlady was kind enough to let me rent out this place she's grown to love Hee-Ari so she doesn't charge me much.

Hee-Ari loves it here although it's small it provides the well-needed one bathroom, three bedroom luxury.

I apply light makeup to myself before setting up my green screen and table props I don't have to worry about the editing because the people do it for me so that's less work on my end.

I take a few photos and quickly scan them all checking for ones I can redo and deleting ones I don't like. In the end, I come out with a total of five photos that I send to my company.

Not only does the advertising company pay me but I get an amount of twenty thousand from the company I model with and the actual cafe company pays me ten thousand as it is a very popular cafe.
