'That's the way it is,' she sighed internally. 'No matter what happened when we were young, the damage was done from the moment he didn't recognize me. Or maybe it was even earlier, from all those days and nights waiting for him to call me, but he never did. We're done. That special thing that was supposed to make me happy was just a joke in my life.' She took a deep breath and said, "Time flies. I'll be in a couple more shows, and then our deal will be over. So think about what to do next. I've got to film tomorrow, so I'm leaving now."Wyneth opened the car door and got out. Hayden watched her walk away, looking sad and frustrated. He felt helpless, just like when his mother had called him before. He squinted and rested his head on the steering wheel.After Wyneth went back to her hotel room, she was in a bad mood. Yoyo wanted to ask her something, but she saw Wyneth looking so sad. Wanting to be kind, Yoyo drew a bath for her and got her some clothes."A hot bath will wash all yo
"Wyneth, are you okay?" Yoyo asked, looking really worried. She felt Wyneth looked really sad but did not know how to help her.Wyneth opened her eyes and smiled at her. "I'm fine. Just had a bad dream, but I'll feel better soon. You go to sleep."Yoyo stared at her, not sure. "Really?""Mm-hmm."Yoyo felt helpless. She knew she could not make Wyneth talk. So, she lay down beside her and took her hand. "Don't feel bad. I'll give you strength and share my happiness with you," Yoyo said, always knowing how to make Wyneth feel better, like a comforting hug.Wyneth smiled at her. "Okay, let's sleep now. We have to film tomorrow." She closed her eyes again, and her tears were still there, a clear reminder to her.The next day, when Wyneth woke up, she found that Yoyo had ordered a big breakfast for her and greeted her with a big smile."Wake up, Wyneth. I ordered breakfast. There's lots to choose from. Pick what you want to eat."Wyneth smelled the delicious food and saw that it was
As soon as she walked in, Emma greeted Wyneth warmly. "Why are you here so early too? Did you get enough sleep?""Mm-hmm." Wyneth nodded. "I woke up early and had nothing to do at the hotel, so I came over.""That's nice."Emma pointed to a spot next to her. "Come, sit with me."Wyneth glanced at the spot, which was very close to Emma, and hesitated a bit. "If I sit too close, will it bother you while you're reading the script?""No, it won't bother me at all," Emma assured her. "Besides, we have some time before they come. We can chat."Wyneth did not argue and sat down beside her."Did you have breakfast yet? My assistant bought this for me, but I'm on a diet. Want to try some?" Emma asked.Wyneth looked at Emma's breakfast, which was only vegetable juice and some fruit with less sugar. "Is this all you eat for breakfast?" she asked, her eyes wide. She knew that many actresses watched what they ate, but she was still surprised by Emma's meal.Emma chuckled, feeling a bit emb
Emma knew when to stop asking questions. Wyneth did not answer, so Emma switched the topic to discuss parts of the script. By the end, Wyneth felt a little more at ease with her and thought to herself, 'Maybe Emma is just curious. It's not weird for her to want to know things, especially since she's a leading actress with StarCrest Entertainment.'Time passed, and as more people from the crew gathered on set, Wyneth's phone vibrated with a message from Bruce.Bruce: [Where are you? Come here.]Even though Wyneth was getting along with Emma, she did not know her that well, especially since Emma was the lead actress."I think you'd better stay with me," Emma said, smiling at Wyneth as she hesitated. "You know Bruce, don't you?"Wyneth's lips tightened."Sorry, I'm not trying to pry," Emma said with a laugh. She then added, "It's just that everyone knows you went to see Bruce about the script yesterday. I hear people talking and spreading rumors. If you want, you can hang out in my
Having overheard a few things around the set, Yara had made some guesses. She thought that Wyneth probably knew Bruce, while Mr. Hamilton was probably just a coincidence. But she only kept these thoughts to herself. After all, she was just an assistant. There were things she should know and things she should not, so she just acted clueless most times. She did whatever Wyneth told her to do.Seeing Wyneth start to read her script, Yara began to set up the things she had packed for her. "Wyneth," she said, pulling out a water bottle, "You should drink more water when you're not filming. The weather is really dry. If you don't, your makeup might not look right, and your lips could get dry." She handed Wyneth some lip balm. "Put this on when you're free. It'll make your makeup look even prettier."Wyneth, noticing the effort Yara put into preparing, smiled. "Thanks.""No problem," Yara replied. "I'm your assistant, after all. That's my job. If there's anything else you need, just let me
Wyneth stayed in Emma's trailer. In the morning, Hayden did not come to the set, and Wyneth sighed with relief, thinking he had taken her words to heart and would not come to bother her anymore. But by the afternoon, while Wyneth was reading the script, she heard that Hayden was back. She froze for a moment. She thought to herself, 'What is he doing? Or what does he want to do? Does he regret knowing who I really am?'When Emma found out Hayden was coming, she looked at Wyneth. Wyneth was deep in thought. Emma smiled and said, "The other night, Mr. Hamilton didn't get mad at you for your mistake. Have you said thank you to him?"Wyneth looked up and asked, "Thanked him?""Yeah," Emma answered. "You bumped into him by accident, but he didn't get mad. Don't you think you should say thank you? It's a good chance to show him you're nice."Wyneth pressed her lips together, not knowing what to say.Then Emma continued, "I work for StarCrest Entertainment. Mr. Hamilton is my boss, and he
"I'll go with you," said Yara."No need, I'm just on the set. I'll go look around by myself," replied Wyneth."Okay then, just call me if you need anything," Yara said.Wyneth went outside. As soon as she left the trailer, she spotted the director, Kevin, yelling through a big megaphone. Far away, she saw Hayden standing tall and looking serious. He stood among the crowd, his eyes cold and his face unemotional, watching everything in the middle as if really checking on the progress. Just having him there made everyone feel as tense as if a big, important person was watching them, and they could hardly breathe. Some of the actors were so nervous that they messed up their words. Kevin had trouble filming and had to yell, "What's wrong with you? Can't you act? If you can't even say the lines, what are we filming for?"Kevin managed to keep his cool the first couple of times because Hayden was watching. But when more mistakes happened, he lost it and started yelling. Everyone felt so n
Dylan made a face too. "Exactly! Hayden messed up himself, and now we're all suffering because of him."Everyone knew why the actors were not doing well earlier. Sure enough, when they saw Hayden was gone, they all breathed a sigh of relief."He's finally gone.""Yeah, yeah, with Mr. Hamilton here all the time, I couldn't do my acting right.""He looks nice, but he's a little scary."Filming went back to normal.Wyneth had been reading her script for a long time. Her eyes felt dry, and she was feeling a bit sleepy. She went to the washroom and washed her face with cold water. That made her feel refreshed. When she stepped out, she saw Hayden leaning against the wall, waiting for her. Since no one was around the washroom right now, she did not want to be seen with him. So, she quickly turned and walked away.After just a few steps, she felt someone grab her wrist tightly. It was Hayden, who had caught up with her. She tried to break free, but his grip got even tighter, as though
