Later, under a neon-lit sky, they shared intimate moments in their hotel room.
Mark ensured she felt treasured in every way.
While on set in Yarmose, Cecilia examined her reflection and gave her cheek a slight smack.
âFeels like Iâve added a few pounds.
â
Her assistant, observing her, remarked, âItâs not about weight; you just seem⦠radiant.
Plus, your makeupâs lighter than most.
â
âReally?â A quick scale check showed Cecilia still at 105 pounds.
Chuckling, the assistant teased, âMust be love! Iâve seen you and Mr.
Evans looking quite cozy.
Some of the girls here are quite envious.
â
With playful annoyance, Cecilia swatted her assistantâs hand.
âMark and I arenât an item.
â
âSure seems like it,â the assistant responded with a grin, genuinely pleased for Cecilia.
After a pause, she leaned in and whispered, âJust watch out.
Your bond with Mr.
Evans is strong, but some might not like it.
â
Cecilia realized she was hinting at Elaine.
Ever since an encounter with Chandlerâs spouse, Elaine seemed to have toned down.
Cecilia didnât want to think the worst of others, but it paid to be cautious.
Cecilia gave a nod just as her phone buzzed; it was Mark.
She answered, casting a glance at her assistant.

âMark? Whatâs up?
Itâs a bit unusual for you to call at this hour.
â
Markâs voice, slightly raspy, informed her, âIâve got work in Yarmose, so Iâll be here for three days.
â
âWork in Yarmose, huh?â Trying to sound indifferent, she added, âIâve got shoots, so I wonât have much free time for you, Mr.
Evans.
â
There was warmth in Markâs response.
âItâs been a week.
Donât you miss Olivia and Edwin? Iâm thinking of bringing them over during Edwinâs school break.
Sound good?â
She missed the kids, and truth be told, she missed Mark too.
But sometimes, a little distance made things more interesting.
Softly, she whispered, âYou know, itâs that time of the month for me.
