Madeleine looked like she was about to murder Eliza at the moment. Eliza smiled. "We are just working. I'm sure you won't be jealous over something like this, right?" Right at this moment, Jay walked over. Madeleine threw herself into his arms and said coquettishly, "Baby dear, Eliza is making me angry on purpose." "She keeps provoking me. Eliza wants me to feel jealous because you'll be doing an intimate scene with her later." "We have been together for so many years. Why should I be jealous of her?" Jay frowned and looked at Eliza with displeasure, "Eliza, I understand that we're not exactly buddies right now, but please understand that we are working at the moment." "Please at least show professionalism at work." "Sure, I don't have any problems with that." Eliza stretched her arms lazily and said, "You keep going on about professionalism, but isn't it unprofessional of you to have your girlfriend bossing me around during workin
"Do I like torturing myself?" Eliza pursed her lips. "No, I don't." While listening to the news, she was just trying to relax. Jay and Madeleine were the most popular candidates nominated for the Golden Bull Award this year, so it was only normal for the radio broadcast to be flooded with news about them. Although she didn't really like listening to it, it didn't affect her much because they had already severed their relationship a long time ago. Right now, she was only treating it as background noise. Beau frowned. "You should be moving on." Eliza paused. "Moving on from what..." Before she could finish her sentence, Beau was already walking towards her at a quick pace. He pulled Eliza's wrist and went downstairs. "What are you doing?" Shocked, Eliza thrashed her am to break free from his grasp. "Where are you taking me?" She was still wearing her bunny pajamas and her mask was still plastered on her face! Without a wo
The air in the lift was suffocating. Finally, the door opened with a click. Eliza sprinted out frantically. "Achoo!" She sneezed loudly the moment she reached outside. Before she knew it, it was already late at night. Standing in the cool breeze, she was shivering from head to toe. She looked ridiculous standing in front of the entrance while cladding in cartoon-printed rabbit pajamas, which attracted a lot of attention from the pedestrians. In hopes that she could hide her outfit from view, Eliza hugged herself and forced herself to walk towards the parking lot. After a few steps, someone grabbed her hoodie cap from behind. Before she could turn around, everything went black. Beau had thrown a jacket on top of her head and said, "Wear this." Shoving the jacket away, she looked at his tall and wide back, "I don't need it. I'm fine." Beau did not stop walking ahead. "If you got sick, the children will scold me."
When Eliza arrived at the studio, she noticed that the atmosphere inside the studio was terrifyingly oppressive. It seemed like the director had lost his temper and was now drinking tea angrily. Roseane was sitting in the corner with a pale face while still holding on to the script tightly. "What's going on?" Eliza approached Gilbert carefully and asked in a low voice. "This scene is about the female lead's internal monologue." Gilbert lowered his voice. "Roseane needs to demonstrate the character's emotional turmoil from anger, eureka, hopelessness, and finally to revelation." "Since Roseane couldn't finish filming this scene yesterday, the director gave her a day off and asked her to get some rest. However, she still couldn't do it today." Gilbert sighed helplessly, "It's not like this is her first day of work. Roseane has been in the industry for many years, but for her to shift between complex emotions in such a short period of time,
Jay said unhappily, "When Madeleine started her career in the entertainment circle, you promised to help her if she ever wants to become an actress." "Are you going back on your words only after one year?" Eliza sneered. "If I remember correctly, you had also promised to marry me, that you'd spend the rest of your life with me." If Jay could break his promise that easily, then why couldn't she do the same to him? However, Jay interpreted her words to a different meaning. Jay smiled smugly and looked and Eliza with sympathy, "Eliza, I've made it very clear with you. I will never marry a promiscuous woman who likes f*cking around with other men. Even worse, you gave birth to his child." "I understand that you still love me, but still, my heart belongs to Madeleine now. Let's stay as friends instead." Eliza froze. After a long while, she finally understood what he was implying. That idiot thought that she was still in love with him!
It was so quiet that even the sound of the breeze could be heard. "Ding dong—" Eliza's phone rang, indicating low battery. Worried, she turned off the flashlight and hoped that she could use the dwindling power to call Graciana. However, as soon as she dialed the number, the phone screen went black. It ran out of battery. All of a sudden, the surrounding darkness overwhelmed her and she couldn't catch her breath. Eliza felt her heart drumming against her chest as anxiety struck her. The quiet darkness was like a monster baring its fangs and engulfing her whole. She was terrified of the darkness. Looking at the moonlight outside the window, she called out for help desperately. "Is anyone here? Please!" "Please save me!" "Is anybody here?" She knocked on the door as hard as she could, hoping that the noise would attract the passersby's attention. Even after her throat was sore from shouting and her
When Eliza woke up, it was already the next morning. She had a nightmare last night. When she woke up, she realized that she was sweating so much that it had soaked through the pillow. Getting up from the bed, she charged her cell phone and went to the bathroom to wash up. She still vaguely remembered what happened last night. Someone locked her in the resting lounge on purpose. Her phone was dead and her surroundings were pitch black. Just when she was in despair, she saw Beau appearing before her. After that, she could no longer remember anything. However, she could remember Beau's silhouette vividly. It was as if Superman itself had appeared before her eyes. Thinking of Beau, a streak of red surged up her cheeks and her heart drummed against her chest. Suddenly, the ringtone of her phone broke her reverie as she came back to her senses. Eliza rushed to the table to pick up her phone. It was Graciana. "Why
Tom was shocked. "Fire who?" Eliza nodded. "The reason I'm here, isn't...isn't it because of the news being spread online?" "What are you talking about?" Tom turned to look at his secretary with a puzzled expression, "Update me. What happened?" The secretary paused. He inched closer and whispered into Tom's ears. Tom frowned and his demeanor turned serious almost instantly. Eliza sighed. It seemed like she could not escape the fate of being fired after all. Just as she was about to take the initiative to resign, Tom smiled at her and said, "Eliza, rest assured. I will deal with that." "I'll fire Madeleine Robinson right now!" Aside from Eliza, the curious onlookers were also stunned beyond words. The secretary reminded Tom discreetly, "You're talking about Eliza right?" Tom frowned and said, "No! The one who should be fired is Madeleine! How dare she frame my staff in my company!" "Eliza is a professional stu
