Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law

''You know about JSC of Black Horse, right?'' Benson asked as the lady who just walked in took a seat beside him. She passed a file to Benson.

Alice, meet my wife, Lylia'' Benson did the introduction.

''Hi, I am Alice. Your wife is so beautiful, Mr. Benson''

Lylia smiled and shook Alice's hand. ''You're the pretty one. When my husband told me that you were joining us, I was so happy. I'm a fan''

''I am the lucky one to be with your family''

''So, you know JSC, right?'' Benson asked.

''Yes, I do know him''

''He is looking for a tour ambassador for Black Horse in Country M and he insisted on you and I also agreed because you look perfect. Even though this work will entail that you always accompany him when he is going on business trips, it will be arranged in a way that it will not conflict with your schedules, so you don't have to worry''

''JSC personally asked for me?'' Alice asked to be sure. When she met with Josh the last time, he didn't mention anything like this to her. she was surprised but it made her heart skip a beat.

''Yes, Alice. And I have already drafted the contract and terms. You can look at it at home and let us know your thoughts. While you are here, I will be your manager, so I will make sure that you get all the resources that you need. Of course, if you take my advice seriously, it will only be a matter of time before you win the best actress award. This offer is only for you because Mikael whom I manage asked me to do it''

''Okay. Thanks a lot, Mrs. Lylia. I will work hard and not disappoint you''

''Just call me Sis Lylia'' Lylia smiled. She found Alice pleasing to the eye. She had done her own investigations and had realised that Alice was not treated fairly in her old company but now that she was under her care, things were going to change. She was going to make sure that she got all the resources that she needed to grow.

''Sis Lylia, then'' Alice smiled.

''Right, I was told you came with your assistant and driver?''

''Yes, they are in the lounge. I was afraid that they would be laid off or treated badly after I leave them at the old company. They are people I trust''

''You don't have to worry. I already discussed with my husband and it is alright to bring them. You can continue to work with them. I will have a word with them later on, if you don't mind''

''No, I don't mind. they are now your employees. Sis Lylia, you don't have to be cautious around me. just treat me like everyone else here. please take care of me'' Alice said politely and Lylia smiled.

''Let's go, I will show you around and also introduce you to Zeya, she just happened to be back from her preparation for the Golden Hill Top Awards Night. She is likely to get the best Actress Award in her role in 'Love The Psycho''

''Zeya is around?'' Alice asked as she clasped her hands, but Lylia didn't noticed.

Zeya was a well-known popular actress who was talented and beautiful. But, no one knew that she was also a big bully. Even a bigger bully than Mimi, but she always masked her actions and only showed an innocent image in front of everyone.

Alice first met her when she went for her first audition five years ago. she and Zeya had competed for the same role but because Natalie was kidnapped, Alice had to give up the role. She was devastated and didn't have the time to act.

Ironically, that was the drama that made Zeya what she was today. Anytime they met somewhere, Zeya would rob it into her face. She would ridicule her for losing to her.

''Alice, are you alright?'' Lylia asked when she noticed Alice had zoned out.

Alice shook her head, ''I'm fine, sis Lylia''

''Let's go, then'' Lylia stood up and Alice also did, following her out of the office.

….

At the lounge, a slender figure walked into the company accompanied by two assistants. One holding a luggage while the other held her that she sipped. This was Zeya, the lady that Lylia just spoke about.

Zeya knew she was attractive and she also knew how to use it. She had used what she had to get what she wanted.

When she passed by the lounge and heard the voices, she stopped and her assistants also did. She looked inside the lounge with a frown and asked.

''Who are those?'' her expression was haughty as she asked.

''Sis Zeya, that is the driver and assistant of Alice. I told you about her joining the company a few days ago''

''Oh, so, it's true'' Zeya smirked. 'Just yesterday she announced to the world that she was the younger sister of the late Thomas Sun and now she is already using her connections to get into the agency? How lucky of her to have someone backing her up''

''Sis Zeya, even with that she can't be compared to you. even with the support of Mikael Sun, she can never get to the level that you are. When you get the ambassador role from Sis Lylia, you can finally make a step closer to achieving your dream of getting JSC to notice you. It's just a matter of time before you become the young Mistress of the…'' her assistant's flattering was cut off by Lylia's voice.

''Zeya, you are here. I was about to go and look for you''

''Sister Lylia'' Zeya bowed humbly and tugged her hair backwards as she flashed an innocent smile.

''You are welcome back. I told your assistant to allow you rest but she said you wanted to come here and see me before. You must be tired'' Lylia went forward to hug Zeya. When she did, Zeya whose gaze shifted to Alice at a distance raised her eyebrows and gave her a smirk.

''I missed Sist Lylia the most, so I decided to come and see you first. I also brought gifts for you and everyone. Sis Lylia, is that Alice Jun?'' Zeya asked with a surprised expression.

Alice wanted to cough. she felt that she could get indigestion just from watching how fake Zeya was.

''Yes, Alice, come and meet your senior. Zeya, this is Alice. She has joined our company. I hope you treat her well and guide her''

''Hi, sister Zeya. I am Alice'' Alice smiled and stretched forth her hand and Zeya nodded and shook her head, but as she was letting go, she intentionally pierced Alice's finger with her long nails.

''Alice, it is good to have you here. I've watched some of your works and you have a lot of potential. If you need any advice, don't hesitate to contact me'' Zeya looked at Alice's fingers which she had hide away and smiled.

''Yes, sis Zeya''

''Sis Lylia, I want to discuss something with you. do you have time?''

''I was going to show Alice around the company''

''We can do that next time. You can go ahead with your work. I will have a chat with the juniors before I leave. Don't worry''

''Alright, I will call you and send you a few scripts that I got for you. They are all good but make sure you pick the one that appeal to you the most''

''Yes, sis Lylia. Sis Zeya, see you next time. I shall take my leave now'' Alice bowed slightly before walking away.

''Zeya, what do you want to talk about?'' Lylia asked.

''I heard that JSC is looking for someone to be the hotel's ambassador. I was wondering if you can give that role to me?'' Zeya looked at Lylia with hopeful eyes.

''Zeya, I wished I could do that but JSC requested for Alice himself. This is her first job here, let's give it to her''

Zeya masked her slightly changed face and faked a smile. ''Really? No worries, since sister Lylia has said it yourself, I won't ask about it again''

''This is why I like you. You are so mature and don't keep things in your heart. Let's go to my office. Tell me more about your trip. Did you meet new people in the industry?''

Zeya bit her lips and smiled as she walked side by side with Lylia to her office.

….

''Sis Alice, I am a fan'' one of the juniors said to Alice as they gathered around her in the lounge room.

The agency had about 20 actresses and 30 trainees whom were in groups ready to debut. When Alice arrived, almost half of the actresses gathered around her chatting and taking photos but there were also some who were on Zeya's side.

Influenced by the words of Zeya's assistants, the five actresses who were on Zeya's side didn't go to meet Alice. Instead, they gathered in their own small group and started chatting.

''She is all plastic. She wasn't this beautiful before'' one of them commented.

''This is why everyone needs to keep themselves pure. This industry can make you do bad things'' Adria said. She was the assistant of Zeya and the one closest to Zeya.
