Kisa's hand gripping the cup froze, and she forced a smile. "I had a child, too. But he is not here anymore.""And do you miss him?""Yes, of course. I miss him. I even miss him in my dreams. I wish he were still here. He would be as old as you are if he did because he was also born on New Year's Eve that year."She always smiled when facing the child, but deep down inside, her heart ached.Blake pursed his lips and hugged her arm. "Don't be sad, Ma'am. If you miss him, you can treat me as him."Kisa stared at him in shock, not believing that these words were coming from a five-year-old's mouth. But Blake's good behavior and understanding also saddened her. Other children were still growing up under the care of their parents when they were this old. But Blake already knew how to take care of adults. She patted his back affectionately. "Okay. You can be my child if you want."Blake plunged into her arms with a smile of contentment on his face. 'I didn't know that Mommy still misse
"Okay." Davian answered respectfully, clutching the files and looking at him cautiously, but he did not dare to say anything more.Gilbert still did not answer the phone. It was apparent that he deliberately did not answer the phone, but he seemed to be upset as if someone did not answer his call. His expression became even sullener after the phone stopped ringing.Davian hated this call. 'Before this call came, Mr. Kooper was still quite normal and was discussing business with me. But when the call came, his face immediately turned surly. I really don't know what is wrong with him lately. In the past, he would be in a good mood when his wife called, and he would even reward me when he was on a high. But this time, it is the opposite. When I saw it was his wife who called, I reminded him to take the call, thinking that he would be happy. But it seems that I would have to pretend not to see anything next time.'Gilbert leaned back in his chair, tapping the edge of the desk with his f
"Roy, since there are no more scenes for you, can you do me a favor?" Kisa had no choice but to ask Roy, as she had gone through her contact list and still could not find someone who she could trust to pick up the children.Roy was nice and helpful. He smiled and said, "Sure. Whatever you need, just ask.""My friend has left me with three children to look after, and they are at school waiting for me to pick them up. But I still have a few scenes to shoot, so I wonder if you could help pick them up for me and bring them to my place?""Sure. Which school is it?" Roy agreed at once.Kisa took out her phone. When she was about to send him the name and address of the school, Gilbert suddenly called. She hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call."What is it?" The man's tone was indolent and cold, unpleasant to hear.Kisa took a breath and replied, "Nothing.""Nothing? Then why did you call me twice in a row? Just tell me what it is, and don't play hard to get here." Gilbe
Gilbert held that thought for a few seconds and proceeded to shake his head, "Not for tonight."Davian could feel his heart burst with joy. It was almost about to make him cry. These days, Mr. Kooper worked overtime at his company like a maniac. He would take extra shifts every day until 11 or 12 midnight.In the end, he opted to sleep right in the company building. Davian suffered because he accompanied Gilbert at the company building for many days. If Gilbert was to continue to go all out like this, Davian was afraid that he would go insane.On the other end, Roy was looking at Kisa slightly expectantly. He asked, "Ms. Kisa, do you still need me to fetch the kids?"Because Kisa was older than Roy by one or two years hence on all occasions at the production set, Roy would call her Ms. Kisa. Kisa shook her head at Roy, "No need, their dad will fetch them. Thanks for the offer, though."The glint in Roy's eyes dimmed a little, but he still gave a warmhearted smile, "You're welcome.
Sharon chuckled with her face full of sarcasm, "What's the matter? Mr. Pollards is about to be a Good Samaritan. You wouldn't want to stop him now, would you? Tsk, you're truly treating him as your little boyfriend. You're even stopping him from doing this."Kisa lowered her gaze and gave a small smile. She then spoke unhurriedly, "Roy is at the top of his game now. His popularity is so high. Why would he want to carry a lowly assistant into a car? What if he was spotted by a media reporter, and then it gets scribbled out into some nonsense?"Kisa then continued, "Or perhaps, both of you pulled this stunt on purpose just to attempt to establish relations with him so that you can use him to further your positions?"Sharon instantly burst out laughing as if hearing the world's funniest joke, "You should stop joking. Even though he is at the top of his game, I am an international superstar. I don't need him to further my career.""You don't need him, but that doesn't mean your assista
Kisa gave a cold smile."Really? Then we shall wait and see!"She then watched Sharon walk away, as the cold smile on her face instantly faded away.Roy apologetically spoke to her, " I apologize; just now. I... I truly didn't know what to do and almost fell for their schemes.""It's fine. Sharon is very deceitful. It's normal that you can't handle her. However, in the future, if you don't want to do something, just refuse them directly, and it'll be fine. Don't be afraid to offend them, too," Kisa advised.Roy nodded his head fiercely. After a long pause, he stared at Kisa's deep cold eyes and spoke hesitantly, "Just... What Sharon just talked about; I hope you don't take it to heart.""Mm...?" Kisa looked at Roy, puzzled.Roy's ears were glowing red, "It's... It's her speech about me liking you...""Oh..." Kisa smiled as it dawned on her, "You can be at ease. I didn't take it to heart. Any person could see that you treat me with the respect of an older sister. They're just bl
Gilbert lowered his gaze and looked at his phone silently. Worry furrowed his brows. He had continuously called Kisa almost six or seven times, but she had not picked up. There was no clue that she was still shooting her scenes.Listening to the sound of rain pouring outside, he grew more frustrated.Ada jogged in front of him and asked, " Daddy, can we look for Ma'am?""Yeah, daddy. It's getting dark outside, and the rain is so heavy. I'm really worried for Ma'am," Andrew followed up.Blake silently stared at Gilbert. The calm look made him look like a mini adult man. Gilbert pointed his gaze down to see the time; it was almost half past eight.He paused for a moment and spoke, " I'll cook something for you all. If Kisa doesn't come back before nine o'clock, we'll look for her.""Okay..." The little ones all nodded their heads.At the production set, the director yelled cut again. Kisa felt her heart was hung by a thread upon hearing him. Fortunately, the director smiled broadl
The filming base was huge and had a total of eight entry points.Kisa chose the pathway closest to the nearest road via GPS. However, this was a small trail, and it rarely had any pedestrians.Furthermore, it was late at night and raining. There was not a single person on this trail. But then, this trial was closest to the exit. The GPS indicated that walking for 15 minutes would lead her to the road. By then, she would be able to flag a cab.After walking for a few minutes, the rain finally stopped, but her body was thoroughly drenched. Her hair was dripping water. She would have slept in the car for the night if it wasn't for the three kids. After all, she promised Jensen that she would take care of Blake. She would definitely get home to check on him.The streetlights were very bright, and their light reflected off the wet pavement. The light shone on Kisa's body, making her frail skinny silhouette seem depressing and lonely. After sneezing a few more times, she felt cold from h
