Out of Ashes Into His Heart

"Yes, that's right." I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

"By the way, I have a question. I heard Gavin say that Tom admitted yesterday that he's your lover. What's going on with that?"

I instinctively turned to look at Dawn, who was staring at me with eyes burning with curiosity.

I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. "Gavin came to my place

yesterday, and coincidentally, Tom had just dropped me off. He helped drive Gavin away..."

She bumped my shoulder playfully, her voice filled with mirth. "See? I told you Tom likes you. Only you couldn't tell."

"Stop joking." I couldn't help but stop her.

This kind of joke was not something I could take lightly.noveldrama

She rolled her eyes. "Fine. Up to you."

The next afternoon, I wore a long fitted dress that Dawn had picked out for me to Zephyr Corporation's interview.

Though I hadn't worked in voice acting for quite a while, my foundation was still there.

The interview went smoothly, but there was a three-month probation period. During this period, the salary was halved, and the full salary and benefits, including social insurance, would only start after the probation ended.

"Grace, your voice quality is amazing. It's perfect for the lead female role in this period drama, where she dresses as a man." Luke pushed a document toward

me.

I was flattered and surprised that I could be considered for such an important role right after starting.

"Thank you. I'll do my best."

But when I saw the document's details, I froze-Mandy?

The character I was supposed to voice was Mandy.

"What's wrong?" he asked when he saw me staring blankly at the file. "Is there a problem?"

"Voice acting doesn't require interacting with the actor, right?"

"Of course not." He paused, seemingly misunderstanding my question. "Are you a

fan of Mandy? I can arrange for you two to meet."

I quickly shook my head. "No, I was just asking."

Luke smiled. "As voice actors, we work behind the scenes. No one cares whether the actor's voice is the original or dubbed; the focus is always on the actors themselves."

"I understand. Thank you." I let out a silent sigh of relief.

Though the idea of voicing Mandy bothered me, it was still my first job during my internship, and I decided to treat it like I didn't know her.

Since it was my first day at work, there were still many things I wasn't familiar with, so I stayed late. By the time I got home, it was already evening.

After I freshened up, I lay on my bed and familiarized myself with the voice-acting materials, hoping to record everything in one session at the studio the next day.

But as I was deeply focused, a sudden knock on the door interrupted me, followed by a low, slightly drunken voice. "Grace, open the door. It's me, Gavin."

I frowned and looked through the peephole. Sure enough, I saw him, swaying and drunk, standing outside my door.

Had he come to cause a scene because he was drunk?

I did not intend to deal with him, so I returned to bed and continued reading the materials.

But he wouldn't stop knocking, disrupting my concentration.

Frustrated, I opened the door and snapped, "Gavin, stop making a scene here. Do you want me to call the police?"

Before I could finish, he suddenly pulled me into his arms, burying his face in my neck. "Grace, please don't divorce me, okay?"
