Shannon nodded. “Although I’ve never worked with James, I’ve worked with his mother, Marione Gondalez. Since he’s Marione’s son, his acting skills shouldn’t be too bad.”Daisie glanced at him. “Thank you, Mr. Fallon. Τhen I’ll discuss this matter with him when I get back.”It was eleven o’clock in the morning when the meal was over.Daisie and Zephir sent Shannon and the producers downstairs. After the others left, the two walked to the parking lot in the basement.Daisie walked beside him. “Zephir, why didn’t you say you wanted to be a director?”After not seeing him throughout all these years, Zephir was no longer the elder brother that she knew from school—he looked more mature, handsome, and elegant than back then.He turned to look at her. “You never asked me back then.”She scratched her cheeks and smiled embarrassedly. “You’re right, but I’m surprised that you would choose to get into showbiz.”“Whichever field that I choose, it’ll always be the same.” He stopped, turned
After saying that, he added, “Don’t worry, I won’t get Daisie involved.”Colton pursed his lips tightly for a while. “How confident are you?”He smiled and lifted his gaze. “Are you worried about me, Colton?”Colton clicked his tongue and crossed his arms. “I’m not worried about you. Daisie will become a widow if you take a careless step and die. I don’t wish to see her become a widow at such a young age because of you.”Nollace picked up the cup and said nothing.Colton got up. “If you need help, voice out at any time. You’d better not die.”The corner of Nollace’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he took a sip of tea.…Daisie was looking for James to talk about him taking over the role, but as soon as she stepped into the studio, she saw Freyja moving boxes.She dashed straight over, helped her with the boxes, and scolded her, “Freyja! Aren’t you on leave? Why have you come back to work all of a sudden? And why are you carrying such a heavy box? Aren’t you afra
Freyja raised her hand and stroked her head. “The nanny at home won’t hurt you, so be brave and don’t be afraid anymore, okay?”Deedee did not utter a single word.“Mr. Goldmann.” The nanny suddenly stepped aside and nodded respectfully.Colton handed his suit to the nanny, and the nanny took it from him and stepped back. He then unbuttoned his cuffs and stepped forward. “What’s wrong?”Freyja said something to Deedee, and the latter took a glance at Colton before going upstairs.She stood up, turned around, and stared at Colton. “Deedee is still mentally scarred. She just won’t follow anyone that she doesn’t know well around.”Colton took a glance upstairs. “Maybe we can find her a therapist to help her out.”After saying that, he turned his head and looked at her. “You’re now pregnant, and you still have to make time to take care of her. And the main thing is that besides you, she won’t let the nanny take care of her. So if we don’t give her the right guidance, I’m afraid that
James went to the RV with Daisie and asked when he only saw Daisie alone. “Why isn’t Freyja around?”He hadn’t seen Freyja in a long time since Colton made their relationship public. But if she was in a relationship with Colton, she wouldn’t need her job as an assistant anymore.Daisie took the script out of her bag, paused, and raised her brows. “Freyja is pregnant, so I can’t ask her to help with everything.”James was shocked. “What?”‘She’s pregnant?’Daisie saw the sadness in his eyes and felt sorry for him. Had he not given up yet after so long?She took a deep breath and changed the subject. “You know about Director Fallon’s new movie? I’ve got you a role in it.”James was surprised. “Huh?”“Now that your dad canceled your cards, you probably need to make some money.” After saying that, Daisie continued. “I can promise that this character will be the one that can help you break out of your typecast.”He smiled and put his hand to his forehead. “Daisie, you overestimat
James just wanted to take things one step at a time and get through life that way. He was the only son of the Tell family, so who else would his father give the inheritance to if not him?But what Daisie said was a stab in his heart. She was right because his father had always forced him to do what he didn’t want to. His acting career was also part of his father’s plan. His father had never agreed to what he wanted to do. He never had a choice because all his spending, food, and clothes were all paid for by his father.Daisie saw that he was hesitating and knew that advising him wouldn’t work, so she took matters into her own hands.She leaned forward and asked, “Don’t you want to act as a character written by Freyja?”His face turned red, and he took a few steps back. “What are you talking about?”Daisie didn’t realize that James was so innocent and would blush, so she chuckled. “I know that you have a thing for Freyja, and even though she’s now my sister-in-law, this scrip
Daisie heaved a sigh of relief because she was glad he didn’t believe it.Nollace suddenly pulled her into his arms and pressed his slightly cold hand on her cheek. “But, are you not going to explain yourself?”She started sweating. He said he didn’t believe it, but he was angry!“I’m just friends with Zephy.”“Zephy…” Nollace’s expression changed ever so slightly, then raised her chin. “I thought you’d only call me in such a way.”He didn’t look angry, but Daisie could feel that it was getting tricky, so she grabbed his hand and was anxious. “That was different. I really see him as a friend.”Nollace leaned in closer to her. “When did you meet?”Daisie looked away. “You went back to Yaramoor, so I have the right to meet people.” She started feeling annoyed as she said that.Nollace pressed his lips together because she was still angry about what he had said all those years ago.He hadn’t wanted to involve her in his problems, which was why he had said that when they were at
Daisie had a great meal and finally laid down her cutlery. “Nolly, do you care what people online are saying?”He looked up and touched her face after a long pause. “I don’t because I’m the one who’s by your side.”Those speculations were all made up.Daisie looked a little disappointed.She was hoping to make things public, even if Donald found out. At least she could work things out with Nollace instead of hiding behind him whenever trouble arose.Nollace leaned in closer to her because he seemed to have noticed her emotions and placed his hand on the top of her head. “We’ll get a chance to go public. When that happens, I’ll let the whole world know that I’m the man behind Ms. Best Actress.”Daisie looked into his light eyes and only saw herself in there. “Are you going to face Donald?”He didn’t speak. Daisie turned away. “I knew it. There must be a reason behind this candlelight dinner.”Nollace smiled. “How would you know?”She said with full conviction, “A woman’s inst
After Nollace left Bassburgh, Daisie returned to the Goldmann mansion. Taylorton was empty without him there. She was lonely there by herself, but more importantly, she was very worried about him.Freyja could tell that she had a lot on her mind, so she sat next to her. “Nollace wouldn’t let anything happen to him. He’s such a smart man, so he must be very confident.”Daisie picked up the coffee and took a sip before mumbling. “Does he really think that he can do everything?”Freyja smirked. “He never failed to do anything that he wanted. You know that.”Daisie pressed her lips together and didn’t answer. At that moment, Freyja received a call. The caller said something which made her expression change and stand up. “What? Deedee is missing!?”Daisie and Freyja went to the Seaview Villa together. The nanny had looked in every corner of the house but couldn’t find her.Freyja ran out of the car and grabbed the nanny’s shoulders. “When did she go missing?”The nanny said apolo
