Chapter 237


    Thomas, having failed to find Theresa, quickly located Susan and hurried over to her.


    “Sister–inw.” he greeted her.


    Susan was startled to see him. “Thomas? What are you doing here?”


    Thomas sat down next to her and whispered, “Sister–inw, Theresa’s with you, right? Where is she?”


    Susan nced subtly in Theresa’s direction.


    Theresa, with her back to them, seemed engrossed in her script, but her rigid posture betrayed her


    tension.


    It seemed Thomas was still unaware that Theresa was actually the lead actress, Rose, in their film.


    Susan raised an eyebrow. “Who told you Theresa and I are together? She’s not here.”


    “Don’t lie to me, sister–inw.” Thomas calmly presented the photo Theresa had taken the previous


    night, exining


    how he had used it to locate her.


    Susan was incredulous. “Are you sure you’re a doctor? Ever thought about bing a detective?”


    ‘Just stop hiding things from me,” Thomas insisted.


    Susan gave Thomas a curious look, her expression one of interest. “Can you tell me why you’re so


    determined to find Theresa? As far as I know, you two don’t exactly get along. But you came all the


    way here. Could it be… that you like her?”


    “How could that be possible?” Thomas reflexively denied. “She’s so fierce and unreasonable, not at all


    my type. I prefer someone gentle and innocent like Monica.”


    At this moment.


    Theresa casually walked by them, overhearing hisment. She scoffed quietly and, pretending


    dropped a heavy prop brick right on Thomas’s foot.


    Caught off guard, Thomas was thrown right on the spot.


    He cried out in pain.


    “Sorry, my hand slipped,” Theresa said nonchntly before walking away.


    to be clumsy,


    “Is that the lead actress, Rose?” Thomas muttered under his breath, “Doesn’t seem to have much


    ss.”


    Susan was utterly unfazed, even considering recording the conversation.


    Chapter 237


    She had a feeling that if Thomas kept on this reckless path, his future would be fraught with troubles.


    “Enough about that, sister–inw.” Thomas implored, his voice tinged with urgency. “Just tell me where


    Theresa is.”


    …said you


    Susan looked at him slyly. “But don’t like her, so why do you want to find her?”


    Thomas had his excuse ready.


    He said without hesitation, “Do you think I want to be here? It’s my mother. She’s been making a


    scene, insisting bring Theresa back. Honestly, if Theresa hadn’t tricked my mom with her cunning


    ways, I wouldn’t even spare her a second nce.”


    At this moment, Theresa was approaching.


    Susan nced at Theresa and wanted tough. She held back herughter and asked, “What do you


    think of her?”


    Thomas didn’t hold back. “Let’s not even start on her terrible personality. Just her looks always hiding


    behind. those thick sses, with her heavy bangs and hair always down. From a distance, if she didn’t


    move, I’d mistake


    her for a mop.”


    In the next moment, he let out a yelp of pain.


    Theresa looked at him emotionlessly. “Sorry, my hand slipped again.”


    Thomas stared at the two bricks on the ground, speechless.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Once could be an ident, but twice?


    And the number of bricks even increased.


    He wouldn’t believe that Rose didn’t do it on purpose!


    “Do we have some sort of feud?” Thomas asked, baffled.


    Theresa chuckled and walked past him, deliberately stepping on his foot with her high heel.


    This pain….


    The pain was so intense that Thomas couldn’t even cry out.


    He looked at Susan incredulously. “You saw that, right?”


    Susan, barely holding back herughter, nodded. “I saw.”


    Thomas was astonished. “Is this the quality of your lead actress?”


    Susan raised an eyebrow. “Well, she’s very close to Theresa. Maybe she doesn’t like hearing you talk


    about her like

    that.”


    Thomas immediately tensed up. “She knows Theresa? Susan, she won’t go tattling, will she?”


    Susan chuckled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, she won’t.”


    After all, she had heard everything herself.


    Thomas rxed slightly, exining in a low voice, “Even though what I said was the truth, if Theresa


    hears It, she’ll definitelyin to my mom, and then I’ll be in trouble.”


    Susan nodded, indicating she understood.


    As Thomas was about to continue his questioning, Mr. Witt announced that filming was about to start.


    Susan smiled and said, “Let’s watch the shooting for now.”


    Thomas, still with many questions, acquiesced for the moment.


    On set, the lead actors were ready.


    Mr. Witt briefly described the scene and started the first trial shoot.


    The female protagonist, Alice, was a girl who cared a lot about looking refined.


    In this apocalyptic environment, she couldn’t maintain her wless makeup like before. She couldn’t


    even do her


    usual skincare and makeup routine


    So, her high heels became herst stronghold.


    Due to a sudden climate change, temperatures plummeted to minus ten degrees in just a few days and


    were still dropping rapidly. The ce where Alice and Levi, the male protagonist, were staying couldn’t


    be heated, so they


    had to find a new base


    In the heavy snow, Alice struggled to walk in her high heels, sinking in with every step.


    Levi, seeing this, couldn’t help but reproach Alice for being unreasonable, insisting on wearing high


    heels even in


    such conditions.


    This led to an argument and they decided to part ways.


    The next scenes were to be shot separately for both characters.


    Mr. Witt decided to start with Theresa’s part.


    So, just after warming up for five minutes in the studio, Theresa had to re–enter the snowy outdoors.

    Chapter 237


    Her lips, due to the extreme cold, had turned purplish–blue.


    Susan watched with a touch of sympathy.


    She wanted to speak up but held back, understanding this was Theresa’s career, her pursued dream.


    Although Mr. Witt was strict, he nurtured great actors.


    Theresa, despite the hardship, had an unprecedented sparkle in her eyes.


    Knowing Theresa well, Susan chose not to advise but simply observed quietly.


    Thomas, observing


    the scene, remarked. “Being an actor isn’t easy, is it?”


    “In this world, who has it easy?” Susan replied with a smile. “As long as one enjoys what they’re doing.”


    Thomas looked at Susan, surprised. “I thought she was your friend.”


    “She is, and that’s why I respect all her choices,” Susan spoke softly.


    Thomas squinted and then smiled. “You and Theresa are quite alike.”


    “How so?” Susan asked curiously.


    “About that Allen incident. I wanted to ask Theresa to speak to you on my behalf.” Thomas exined.


    Susan paused. “She never approached me.”


    “I know,” Thomas’s gaze softened. “She refused. She said you’re friends, so she wouldn’t interfere in


    your choices.”


    Susan chuckled lightly, recognizing it as something Theresa would indeed say.


    “Speaking of which, I owe you a formal apology. I had no idea Allen would create such a scene,”


    Thomas said, slightly troubled.


    Susan shook her head. “I was upset, not because of Allen, but because you brought another man to


    the blind date, pretending he was there instead of you. That was rude, especially to Theresa.”


    Thomas gave a wry smile. I’ve realized my mistake in that regard.”


    Susan blinked. “Telling me is pointless. Save your apologies for Theresa.”


    Thomas quickly agreed, “You’re right, Susan. So, you should tell me where Theresa is so I can…”


    “Shooting is starting, let’s watch.” Susan Interrupted.


    Thomas had no choice but to turn his attention back to the set.
