Chapter 642

The cast was full of top–notch actors and experienced veterans. Kelly, in particular, fitted right in, warmly greeting everyone and humbly discussing acting skills with them.

Everyone thought that Kelly had an impressive background and looked rather aloof. They did not expect her to be so humble and lively.

In no time, Kelly formed good relationships with everyone.

Seeing this, Sharon’s agent quickly went to the multi–purpose vehicle and asked Sharon to come down to build a good relationship with everyone.

“There’s no need to do that!” Sharon said. Her cold face showed a hint of disdain.

She despised this kind of pointless social interaction the most. If she had the time, she would rather improve her acting skills.

The agent earnestly said, “Sharon, the entertainment industry is a circle. Acting skills are important, but interpersonal relationships are also important.”

Sharon frowned. She detested these hypocritical relationships the most.

She thought, ‘My mother–in–law is also like that, always complaining that I can’t read people’s emotions, have low emotional intelligence, my words aren’t sweet, and I don’t know how to keep in touch with people to nurture connections. What’s the use of these connections? As long as Louis is a descendant of the Phil family and outstanding in his own right, there will naturally be people who come to him. There’s no need to maintain relationships with others. The same thing applies to the entertainment industry. As long as my acting skills are excellent, I don’t have to worry about not being cast.’

“There’s no need to say more!” Sharon said. Her expression was determined. “I don’t want to waste time on these useless things. I want to focus on honing my acting skills.”

After saying that, she cast a disdainful glance at Kelly, who was chatting with Vera.

At this moment, Kelly was discussing her role with Vera.

She knew that she was young, had little experience, and did not have a deep understanding of the role, so she was especially humble and was willing to accept other people’s opinions.

Vera shared her understanding of the role, and Kelly nodded earnestly, keeping it all in mind.

Kelly spent the entire day on the set. It was only in the evening that she thought of Ian.

She thought, ‘Oh no. Oh no, I forgot about this big shot!”

As Kelly ran to the hotel, she thought about how to explain the situation.

Unfortunately, as she was almost at the hotel, she still had not come up with a good idea. Helpless, she could only turn to Elena for assistance.

Elena was speechless. She said, “Silly. Just prepare an apology gift. It’s as simple as that. Nobody will find fault with extra courtesy. When he sees the gift, he won’t be mad at you anymore.”

Kelly nodded, thinking that this approach was a good idea.

She casually picked a piece of handicraft nearby. Without inspecting it closely, she immediately took a figurine of a galloping horse beside the entrance of the shop. Then, she hurriedly ran back to the hotel.

In the hotel room, Ian changed into a pink shirt. He even deliberately changed his hairstyle, giving him a fashionable and trendy look.

Kelly did not want lan to be angry with her. As soon as they met, she handed over the gift with both hands, saying, “Mr. Walter, look at the gift I chose for you. Do you like it?”

Then, she complimented him profusely, saying, “Mr. Walter, your outfit today is so unique and incredibly stylish.”

Ian raised his eyes slightly and gave her a sidelong glance, feeling pleased. ‘She missed me so much, huh?‘ he thought, ‘She even brought a gift. Does she love me even more now?‘

Ian suppressed his slightly upturned mouth, took the gift, glanced at it, and asked, “What’s this?”

“A galloping horse,” Kelly hurriedly explained. “Look. It’s so imposing, just like you.”

Upon hearing this, Ian’s expression did not change, but when he turned his head, his eyes immediately narrowed into a crescent shape.

He thought, ‘So… in Kelly’s heart, I’m as imposing and heroic as a galloping horse. She must have fallen for me!‘

Ian immediately ran to the balcony and could not wait to share it with his uncle.

Upon hearing Ian’s words, Silas felt that something was off. He thought, ‘Women rarely try to please someone so directly. This doesn’t seem like affection but more like a subordinate trying to please her superior.‘

Silas hesitated for a moment before saying, “There should be another meaning to this. Women often have a more indirect way of doing things.”

‘Indirect way?‘ Ian thought.

Ian lowered his eyes to look at the “galloping horse” in his hand. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his heart started racing, beating so fast that it felt like it might jump out of his chest.

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he voiced his guess. “According to the tradition in the Hushe Republic, my spirit animal is a horse based on the year I was born,” he said.

“That’s it!” Silas said as he clapped his hands. “It must be because your spirit animal is a horse. When she saw this figurine, she thought of you immediately, so she brought it back.

“Under normal circumstances, women won’t give gifts to men for no reason. Women are quite reserved.

“It’s really surprising that she pays such a level of attention to you.”

Silas calculated for a moment and said, “Ian, in this way, Kelly’s feelings for you are now at four points.”
