Dying As Guard, Awakening As Bride 47. "Is It Possible?"
Victoria seethed with anger. She couldn't believe her hand was burned just from trying to make a simple cup of coffee, only to get harassed from Sofia."But I had no idea about the history between that woman and Victoria," she exclaimed.Looking around the E&T entertainment building, she felt lost."I only wanted to escape from that woman, but now I'm completely disoriented."She needed to tend to her burnt hand urgently, but there was no staff in sight to assist her.Then, she noticed a map of the building near a door.She approached it, getting closer and closer, examining the impressive structure of the large building. However, as she was engrossed in her study, she suddenly heard a voice that sounded incredibly familiar coming from inside the slightly ajar door."This voice sounds so familiar," she whispered to herself.Driven by curiosity, which was an inherent part of her nature, Victoria decided to open the door. To her surprise, there was a film being shot inside the room. And

After going to the hospital and receiving treatment for her burn, Victoria decided to book a hotel room."I can't let Victoria's family see me like this," she thought, staring at the bandage on her hand. "I've had my fair share of injuries since becoming Victoria."In the past, she was used to this. But now that she had a new goal of becoming an actress, she had to take better care of herself."Plus, I promised Mikhail that I would look after myself. I can't show up with a bandaged hand in front of him," she muttered.Looking out the window of her hotel room, she got an email from the production team saying that filming for the movie would start the next day."And tomorrow is also the day I have to visit Gray's house."Recalling her appointment, she recalled Gray's words before leaving her in the dressing room.["I'll send you the address to my place. Come over and have the meal I'll prepare for you. Maybe we'll find the answers you're searching for."]Victoria felt the heat on her bo

Victoria witnessed the entire incident unfold.As soon as the cable started behaving strangely, she instinctively knew where the heavy metal object would land.Anticipating that it would strike Sofia's head, Victoria wasted no time in grabbing the nearby cushion among the other film props.She sprinted towards Sofia, forcefully pushed her to the ground, and shielded her face with the cushion just in time to deflect the heavy metal object.The swift action appeared as if it was taken straight out of a movie scene. However, for Victoria, protecting others was second nature."Sofia! Can you hear me? Wake up!" Victoria called out urgently as Sofia lost consciousness."Someone call an ambulance immediately!" Producer Hailey commanded.The director jumped up in surprise when the filming had to be stopped due to an unexpected incident. "Crap!" he exclaimed. "Who caused the cable to fall?!""Maybe we should prioritize helping Sofia first," Victoria suggested."Good idea," the director agreed.

The wet lips pressed on him.Her frame, which was drenched in the water, came into contact with his.Victoria, on her tiptoes, had her eyes shut as she delicately pressed her lips against Gray's. She grounded herself, her lips parting slightly from his.Just as she was about to fully withdraw her lips, Gray's strong arms encircled her waist, drawing her in."Where are you going? Come here."Rustle.In contact once more, Gray opened his mouth and nibbled her whole lips, prompting Victoria to open her lips too and giving him an access.When his warm tongue slipped inside, Victoria felt like she was melting in its heat. Her legs weakened, but Gray held her close, pulling her nearer until there was no space between them except for when they broke apart to catch their shaky breath."Hmm," Victoria drew a sharp breath. Her arms wrapped around his neck.Gray tilted his head. The tip of his nose pressed against her cheek as he was kissing her deeply, tasting each corner of her mouth.'I am re

She couldn't get him out of her head.When she realized her feelings for her boss, Martin, she found herself constantly thinking about him throughout the day. Waking up, brushing her teeth, having breakfast - he was always on her mind.It was especially tough because she was Martin's bodyguard, meaning she had to be by his side at all times. Her feelings for him made it even more challenging as she found herself constantly chasing him around."But things have changed.

"Scene 43!"For this scene, Samuel and Victoria would act together. The scene was short, but it was the moment Samuel had been eagerly anticipating."I'll be right there," Victoria said as she left Gray's side.Her hand was clammy from holding Gray's hand for so long, but it had kept her entertained during the long wait."I'm rooting for you, Victoria!" a voice called out from a distance.She paused in her steps and glanced back at Gray, who was cheering her on. It was amusing, but she managed to stifle her laughter.Now, under the gaze of the cameras, Victoria and Samuel stood face to face."It seems the director can't lay a finger on you because of your wealthy background," Samuel whispered. "But let's see how much you can handle."Victoria tried to hide her annoyance at Samuel's provocation. She bit her lip and continued with the scene, eager to finish filming and head home.

I wonder why she's not getting in touch with me.Martin, sitting at his desk in the office, muttered as he glanced at his phone. It's been a while since he told his fiancée how he feels.He's given Victoria plenty of time to think about it. But so far, she hasn't reached out to him."I covered up her scandal. I lied for her.

"Didn't she want to see me?""Sir, I heard Miss Victoria is busy with a film project," Hunter revealed."What kind of film?""I found out she auditioned for a role in an upcoming movie. If she's filming, then it's safe to assume she got the part," Hunter explained.In reality, Hunter was well aware of Victoria's activities.
