I offered Marissa a bitter smile and whispered, "I know, Marissa." I paused, then added softly, "I won't trust people so easily."
In my last life, the ones who betrayed me the most were the very people closest to me; my manager, my coworkers, and … my best friend.

It was a fashion magazine, smiling back at me from the glossy page was the face of the person who had betrayed me most of all: Lariette Archer.
She was the daughter of Gregory Archer, the man behind Archer Media Group, a media empire that owned magazines, TV networks, even film companies. With that kind of power, Lariette was destined to shine, talent or not.
I first met her when I was still just a rookie. We were both cast in the same drama, which later exploded into the drama of the year.
