Synopsis
Anna Smith, a rising star in the film industry, is known for her emotional performances and undeniable screen presence. As part of the promotion for her upcoming movie, she joins a popular variety show—an opportunity that brings her into the orbit of Matthew Owen, a top-tier composer and beloved singer-songwriter with a quiet charm. What begins as a professional interaction slowly grows into something more. Anna and Matthew, both strangers to love and unaware of their own hearts, start treating each other differently—yet neither realizes why. They laugh a little louder, linger a little longer, and offer comfort in ways that feel natural… but unfamiliar. In a world filled with flashing cameras, curated public images, and tightly packed schedules, the two slowly find something genuine: a friendship that blooms into a gentle, confusing, and unspoken love. This is a story about first love—tender, hesitant, and pure. A love that sneaks in quietly, growing not through grand gestures but in everyday moments. . . . . .

Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1 :- PROLOGUE

The café was bustling with noise. The people were working on the

"What would you like to order, sir? "

"One iced americano and one latte.To go, please.

"Your total is $3.26, sir. Would you like to have the receipt?" The cashier turned the screen to show the payment screen

The man made the payment. " No, thank you."

Taking the buzzer, the man sat at the empty table by the window

In the table beside, a group of high schoolers were discussing the hot topic on the Teibo

"Yo, you saw the Final episode of "THE LOST LOVE"…..my heart!!! Why does Anna have to go through so much?"

"I was bawling my eyes out. Seriously, Anna is an outstanding actor."

"Totally did you see those tears like, wow I just wanted to go there and hug her. "

"When I opened Teibo last night to rant about it, it was already full of Anna."

Just then, the buzzer buzzed, and the man just subtly smiled and went to get his order.

Well, we can't blame the man for evasdrop the conversation because who doesn't like to hear praises of their artist.

The man was Michael Jones, the star manager of Anna Smith, because he rarely showed his face to the camera, he was not recognized in public, unlike his artist, who was all complaining about not being able to go out in public without disguising … well, nothing can be done for that.

 Michael got into his car and drove to the Artozia Theater and waited in the parking lot. After a while, a figure got into the car.r

"Here's your latte."

"Mike baby, thank you. Needed this."

He looked at his artist, her hair was tied in a low ponytail with violet highlights, and she was wearing a blue oversized shirt with black and brown checkered pants and black loafers.

"How was the audition?"

"Amazing, nailed it !!"

Nodding, he started the car and got ready for her next schedule. It was a photoshoot, and Anna's Assistant had already reached the studio and had prepared everything; he only had to drop her off at the studio.

They reached the spot in about 20 minutes. And was quite on time.

Anna opened the door and entered. She saw her assistant, Samie, waving at her.

"Here."

"All ready, sweety."

"All done, only our protagonist is remaining." Samie replied cheekily, "Babie, how was the audition?"

"I have been so nervous. But it was good, they said they would contact them in a few days, let's just hope all goes well."

"It will be fine. After all, we know are hit actress would have nailed it." Samie clapped her hands and said, "Okay, gather up everyone. Let's start with the makeup."

She made Anna sit on the chair and started to coordinate with the photographer.

The photographer was a tall woman in her forties with and short bob cut, smiled, and approached Anna and conversed with her for a while

After 30 minutes, Anna was ready and walked into the white backdrop. The first look was a Black backless dress.

As the flashes started going off, she slipped into her element, posing effortlessly with subtle smirks, soft gazes, and bold angles.

"She's something," the assistant photographer murmured, adjusting a reflector.

Finally, after 90 minutes, they were done with all the looks. Anna said goodbye to everyone and got ready to go back home.

They reached her house in 40 minutes.

"OKIE good night Samie sweety. Driver uncle, please drop her as well and drive safely."

"GOOD NIGHT," Samie replied.
