Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 15 Something Happens to Andrew She looked up and was surprised to see a handsome face.
It was Howard Mullen, the second male lead character in the Goddess of My Adoration drama series.
Howard helped up Kisa like a gentleman and frowned at Ariella. âI remember you are playing the heroineâs mother, right? Only half an episode is scheduled for the afternoon, so why are you rushing your assistant like this?â
Howard used to be an obscure actor and had been paired with Ariella before, so Kisa still had an impression of him. It was just that she and Howard had never spoken. It really surprised her this time that Howard stood up for her.
Ariella squinted at Howard. âShe is my assistant. It is my business how I discipline her. Besides, you landed on the role of the second male lead just by luck, so why are you a busy body here?â
Howard did not dwell on the issue with her but looked at Kisa with concern. âAre you okay?â
Kisa shook her head. âThanks a lot just now.â
âNo problem at all.â Howard smiled and left.
Murmurs rang out all around.
âThat is strange. Isnât Howard always fawning on those famous stars? Why is he treating this ugly woman so nice today?â
âYeah, he is not into this ugly woman, is he?â
Ariella rolled her eyes. âUnless he is blind.â She glared at Kisa. âWhy are you still standing there? Go get my costume.â
âOkay, Ariella,â Kisa said, running out at once. As she went, she looked around nervously, afraid of running into Gilbert.
After all, the leading actress of the drama was Sharon, and she had heard rumors about Sharon and Gilbert for a long time. So Gilbert could visit Sharon on the set.
She just wondered who Andrew and Adaâs mother was and if Gilbert really loved Sara. âIf Sara is a thing of the past, and the person whom Gilbert loves is the mother of his children, then what about Sharon? Who is the one he really loves?â She simply shook her head at the thought of this. âWho that man loves has nothing to do with me!â
She spent the morning with anxiety, but Gilbert did not come over.
âOf course, he has a hangover and is probably resting at home today. That is good. I just need to wait out this afternoon. When Ariellaâs scene is finished, she wonât come back to the set, and I wonât run into Gilbert again.â
With this thought in mind, even the box lunch of bland salad tasted extra good to her. While she was eating, the director suddenly came running over in a hurry. âSince everyone is here, I have an announcement to make.â
Kisa continued her meal, as the director usually announced things that had little to do with her.
âIn response to the instructions from the top, starting from today, the second female lead in this drama will be played by Ariella.â
Kisa coughed out a mouthful of chewed salad. She was petrified on the spot.
âAriella as the second female lead? Wouldnât I have to come to the set almost every day? What should I do? Gilbert did not come to the set today, but as long as Sharon is still on the set, he will come to visit another day.
âI really donât want to see him at all. Even if he told me to take care of Andrew, it didnât mean he would leave me alone. Who can guarantee one day he wonât go crazy, or after Andrew goes home, and he will capture and torture me again? It looks like no matter how hard I try to hide, I canât hide from that manâs shadow.â
In contrast to Kisaâs panic reaction, Ariella was jumping with joy.
Just when the director was about to leave, Kisa subconsciously pulled the director aside.
âWhy did you suddenly cast Ariella as the second female lead?â
The director was impatient. âThis is the instruction of GK senior management. Ask the GK senior management if you have the guts.â
Kisa took two unsteady steps backward.
âIsnât the instruction from the top of GK also Gilbertâs instructions? Heck! I knew it; Gilbert isnât going to leave me alone so easily. No matter how I try to run and hide, it is just a futile struggle.â
While she was disconcerted by the announcement, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lea who called.
âItâs not good, Kisa. Somethingâs happened to Andrew.â
