From the very start, she had always cared about Tyler, but Doris had initially thought Athena was just one of Tyler's many fans. Little did she know it would evolve into what it was now.
There wasn't much Doris could say, though. Athena had made her decision, and since she was benched by thepany for two years, Doris knew she wouldn't be managing Athena anymore.

"As long as you know what you're doing, Athena. See you in two years then." Athena's face was full of smiles, as if pursuing Tyler was the happiest thing in the world.
After leaving the agency, she called Tyler to ask for his address.
On the other end, Tyler rubbed his temples in frustration. "Don't you have filming to do every day? When would you have tto make chicken soup? Besides, you know how many people are lining up to cater to me. You don't exactly have any special talents." "Tyler, I've been benched by thepany. I'll have plenty of tto chase after you now. Making soup is just the beginning. I can do so much more for you; all I ask is for a chance." Tyler was silent. Benched? She said it so casually, like it was no big deal. Was she out of her mind? "Athena, do you even understand what being benched means? Seriously?" "I do. So, what's your address? I cane over tonight and make you ssoup." Tyler felt exasperated. This woman was relentless. But part of him was curious to see how far she'd go.
"I'll send you the address, but no guarantees I'll be htonight." "Got it. From now on, I'll make your dinners and breakfasts too!" Tyler cringed. He thought she was foolish, wasting her career opportunities for a guy, staying hto make soup. Ridiculous.
He felt no sympathy; in fact, he thought she brought this on herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce Athena got the address, she headed straight to Tyler's place.
But the security guard wouldn't let her in. Apparently, Tyler had grown tired of the parade of women showing up unannounced and told the guards not to let anyone n untess he personally brought them. So, Athena called Tyler, but he didn't pick up. She had no choice but to wait.
She waited for five hours, until 8 PM, but Tyler still hadn't returned. He was out drinking, and it was another thre@hours before he was finally dropped off at home. As the car pulled up to the mansion, Tyler noticed someone crouched by the gafe. The security guard, looking a bit helpless, spoke up as Tyler approached. "Tyler, finally! This woman has been waiting for you. She wants toe in and make you soup, but you said not to let anyone in unless you brought them." Tyler rubbed his temples again. He could actually go for ssoup right now; he wondered if Athena could cook. "How long has she been waiting?" He guessed it might have been two hours tops. But then the guard replied.
"Eight hours. She got here early and refused to leave." Athena was leaning against the gate, fast asleep.
Tyler was taken aback. Eight hours? Was she crazy? Why not just go hande back another time? His head throbbed even more as he strode over and nudged her awake.
"Wake up." Athena rubbed her eyes, blinking them open, and then exclaimed in delight, "Tyler!"
