She almost buried her face in the bowl as she murmured, âYou seem alien to me after having a fever.
â
âWhat do you mean?â Theodore asked as he looked at her patiently.
Ariana weighed her words and said slowly, âItâs just your words seem kinder now.
â
As soon as she finished her sentence, she sneaked a peak at him for fear she had made him angry.
Instead, Theodore laughed.
âThen you should pray that I stay sick.
â
Ariana blurted out, âThatâs not necessary.
Although you are always moody, I still hope you can be healthy and happy.
â
Both of them were momentarily stunned by her words.
Ariana wanted to slap herself because what she said was like a confession!
âIâm full.
Eat up.
Otherwise, the food will not be as good when it tums cold.
Iâm heading back.
I need to bring the artist to the crew at nine oâclock tomorrow morning,â she said hastily, intending to flee.
She hurriedly took two bites and prepared to leave.

Theodore asked, âNine oâclock? Why is it so late? The first shoot for a new play typically begins early, before ten.
The makeup should begin at eight oâclock.
Did you get the timing right?â
âYes, Iâm sure itâs nine.
Itâs impossible for me to get it wrong,â Ariana replied, with her confidence dwindling.
She was certain at first, but Theodoreâs words aroused her suspicion.
She took out her phone and checked the message to confirm the time.

The following day in a temporary shooting studio at a film and television centerâ¦
An endless stream of staff and extras were coming and going around the set, transporting groups of costumes and props.
Some famous artists were sitting at a corner of the set, surrounded by their assistants and agents.
There were also two large machines being carried into the central control room.
Meanwhile, Francis was sitting comfortably in his seat, drinking coffee.
He wore a beard, which made him look very wild.
His skin was rough and tanned, and he was wearing sunglasses.
He looked like a tough guy, and many didnât dare to approach him for fear of causing trouble.
However, when he talked, his voice didnât match his appearance.
For instance, he was talking to Cole in a gentle tone, âDonât worry.
Your aunt Donna has told me to take good care of you.
I would do the director of the Anderson Group a favor.
We will cooperate more often in the future.
â
âThank you, Mr.
Salazar.
Itâs my first time acting, so I still have much to learn.
Iâm sorry if I am a bother to you,â Cole replied politely.
He played along with Francis and kept quiet about his auntâs demotion.
It was beneficial for him to be misunderstood by Francis.
Francis was satisfied with Coleâs humbleness and modesty.
Everyone liked modest young people.
Besides, Cole had strong backing and might emerge as the top idol in the future.
Of course, Francis had to get along well with him.
âOf course, you wouldnât be a bother.
Just ask away if you have any questions,â
Francis replied as he took off his sunglasses and smiled slyly.
âThank you, Mr.
Salazar.
Anyway, Iâm not the only rookie on the team.
Itâs also Tylerâs first time.
We would both appreciate your guidance.
Thank you very much, Mr.
Salazar,â Cole replied, feigning humility.
