    “If we consider a full score as ten points, she already has two points of feelings for you,” Ss


    concluded.


    The smile in Ian’s eyes immediately disappeared. He slightly furrowed his brows, appearing somewhat


    disdainful. “Only two points?” he said.


    “Hey, hey, hey, don’t be greedy,” Ss called out. “Two points is already quite a lot. The initial score is


    zero. I’m a tough grader. In ordance withmon perception, she’s already attracted to you and is


    a little interested in you, which can be considered the beginning of liking.


    “But with me, I can only give you two points. Not more!“.


    Ss was very confident as he added, “Ian, as long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you’ll get ten


    points. She’ll love you so deeply that she won’t be able to extricate herself.”


    Ian thought, ‘Can’t extricate herself? Won’t extricate herself? Well, I like this phrase.’


    He leaned against the balcony door and lowered his eyes. His voice was low and hoarse as he said,


    “Okay.”


    After Ian hung up the phone and returned from the balcony, Kelly was looking at him eagerly. “Mr.


    Walter, are you tired?” she said. “It’s getting dark. Shall I make the bed for you?”


    The sense of ingratiation in her tone could not be concealed.


    Ian suppressed the anger in his heart and responded in a dignified and aloof manner. “Go ahead and


    make the bed,” he said.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Upon hearing this, Kelly immediately made the bed and even patted the pillow a few times to make it


    softer and fluffier.


    After everything was done, Kelly made an inviting gesture and said, “Mr. Walter, it’s done. You can rest


    now. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”


    Ian nced at the sofa and nodded without saying anything.


    As night fell, Kelly curled up on the sofa ufortably. She felt a hint of sadness and a touch of joy.


    The sadness came from the realization that Ian truly did not care about her anymore, allowing her to


    sleep on the sofa without doing anything to let her sleep morefortably.


    The joy, however, stemmed from the fact that he hadpletely moved on, and she was finally free.


    Sleeping in a drowsy state, Kelly felt as though she was floating, drifting ontofortable and soft


    clouds.


    The clouds were sofortable. They were much morefortable than her narrow and stiff sofa.


    Kelly really wanted to roll around.


    The only w was that there was always a furnace–like thing beside her that kept trapping her and


    roasting her body.


    She pushed him away in frustration, but the next second, the furnace rolled back and held her tightly.


    Kelly was so angry that she muttered in her sleep, “Hate this. It’s so hot. Get lost.”


    The suffocating heat continued to envelop her, finally relenting only the next morning.


    The sofa that Kelly slept on was made of solid wood. It was a little hard and notfortable at all. She


    thought that her body would ache when she woke up in the morning, but unexpectedly, she felt no pain.


    She felt refreshed.


    She thought, ‘How strange! Could it be that my physical condition has improved?‘


    Today was the filmingmencement ceremony. Kelly changed into a lightweight outfit before heading


    out. Before leaving, he greetedn, saying, “Mr. Walter, I can’t eat with you today. You can go to the


    restaurant downstairs or have them deliver it to you.”


    After informingn, she hurriedly headed out.


    The production team had a generous budget, and they made the filmingmencement ceremony


    quite grand. Kelly did not understand much about these things. She followed the director around,


    feeling a bit disoriented, and was busy all morning before finally getting a break,


    Since this film primarily featured male roles, there were few female characters. Kelly as the female lead


    was one of only three women in the cast. Of the other two female roles, one of them was yed by


    Vera Stanton, a seasoned actress who yed the role of the male lead’s brother’s mother. That


    character was filled with grief over losing her son. The other female role was yed by Sharon Garcia,


    a rising star with some poprity. She yed the role of a multifaceted antagonist.


    Sharon’s role might not have many scenes, but it was significant and quite dramatic. Her screen time


    was nearly as substantial as Kelly’s, who yed the female lead.


    In contrast to Kelly, who casually found a chair to sit down, Sharon returned to her multi–purpose


    vehicle.


    Through the car window, she saw Kelly sitting on a chair and resting with her eyes closed. She could


    not help but feel a sense of frustration. She thought, ‘Jeez, people who would rather not meet each


    other coincidentally find themselves in close proximity or crossing paths. I didn’t win the role of Helena


    against her previously, and now I’ve lost the female lead role to her again.”


    Seeing Sharon’s unwavering expression, her agent quicklyforted her, saying, “It’s okay. It’s okay.


    Your role is even more remarkable. You should know that the female lead has many action scenes, and


    that Kelly may make a fool of herself. If she doesn’t perform well in the film, she’s bound to be ridiculed


    by the public when it’s released.”


    Sharon was in a much better mood after hearing her agent’sforting words, but she was still


    frowning.


    Sharon was willing to ept not getting the female lead role in the current project. Indeed, there were


    many fighting scenes, which did not suit her. However, the opportunity for the role of Helenast time


    was truly a rare one. Kelly became popr because of this role.


    Seeing that Sharon was still frowning, the agentforted her, saying, “It’s rumored that Kelly has


    influential backing. She didn’t get these two roles through the usual channels.”


    At this point, the agent paused for a moment before saying something further to gauge Sharon’s


    reaction. “But when ites to influential backing, yours is much more powerful than hers. If Mr. Phil


    were to pull some strings, you could even secure the role of Xena the Warrior Princess, not to mention


    the role of Helena.”


    Theizens did not know this yet. They all assumed that Sharon was single, but her agent knew very


    well that not only was Sharon not single, but she had long married into a wealthy family. Her husband


    was the renowned Louis Phil.


    Hearing her agent’s words, Sharon pursed her lips and a stubborn expression appeared on her face.


    “Even without relying on the Phil family, I can make it on my own,” she said.


    Her marriage with Louis was considered a hidden marriage. They merely obtained a marriage


    certificate. They did not even hold a wedding. This was because the people from the Phil family looked


    down on her, thinking that she came from a lowly background and was not worthy of Louis. Even more


    so, they held a low opinion of her career, viewing her as a third–rate minor celebrity.


    Sharon had thought that she was Cindere and had married a prince, but she did not expect that her


    life after marriage was not as blissful and beautiful as she had imagined. Instead, it was like a


    nightmare that made her feel suffocated.


    The Phil family believed that she had married Louis for his money.


    In order to prove herself, Sharon showed her weed–like tenacity, refusing to take a single cent from the


    Phil family and not leveraging their influence. She relied entirely on her own efforts to make a name for


    herself in the entertainment industry.


    “Don’t tell Louis about the matters of the production team,” Sharon reminded her agent. “I want to prove


    my ability to everyone. I want to be the top actress through my own efforts. So what if Kelly has a


    good background? Acting skills don’t lie. I will surpass her with my own acting abilities.”


    On the surface, the agentplimented Sharon, saying that she had the determination and courage to


    achieve her own goals.


    However, once they got out of the multi–purpose vehicle, the agent called her a fool.


    “Rely on yourself?” the agent said. “Oh please! Take a look at your own status. You’re just a minor


    celebrity who recently gained some poprity in variety shows, yet you have a veteran manager like


    me to guide you. You even have your own private multi–purpose vehicle. If it weren’t for Mr. Phil’s


    instructions, thepany wouldn’t have provided these things.


    “Even the role of the second female lead has got to do with Mr. Phil. It was all thanks to Mr. Phil’s


    influence that we managed to secure it.”


    The agent was really annoyed by Sharon’s feigned self–righteous attitude.


    The agent thought, ‘She talks about spending her own money every day, but in the previous lousy


    variety show, she earned 2 million dors. Does she even have a brain? Doesn’t she see her own


    status? Does she really think she canmand the same pay as A–list celebrities?


    ‘She travels in a top–notch multi–purpose car, wears haute–couture outfits, and dines on gourmet


    dishes delivered from high–end restaurants…


    ‘If it weren’t for Mr. Phil, she wouldn’t even be able to enjoy any of these things in her next lifetime, let


    alone now.


    ‘She should just openly admit that she relies on Mr. Phil. After all, they’re legally married, so it’s not


    embarrassing. Instead, she insists on iming independence and self–reliance.


    ‘I’m about to puke!‘


    In this aspect, Sharon could notpare to Kelly. Kelly never concealed her connections, and she did


    not exploit her connections to bully others or unfairly take roles away from others. She just wanted


    more opportunities.


    Whether it was Helena or the female lead in this project, she was a great fit. Her acting skills were also


    excellent.
