George stared at her wounded lip. He pursed his lips, and his throat suddenly felt dry.

His lips had pressed tightly against hers when they were in the water. She even desperately stole
oxygen from his mouth, acting as if he were her lifeline.
The soft touch was still vivid in his mind.
His gaze was so possessive and intense that Milly turned her head away in difort.
What’s wrong with this guy? Why is he staring at my lips?
The assistant director noticed the odd tension between them. He leaned in to whisper to n, “Mr.
Hawkins, is there something going on between Mr. Tate and Milly?”
The atmosphere between them seemed off.
n was still nervously wiping sweat from his forehead. He was afraid of offending the influential
man. next to him and overlooked the strange vibes. When the assistant director questioned him, he
finally nced over and inquired, “Is it there?”
The assistant director nodded and said firmly, “Yes, it feels like they’re… a couple.”
Having worked on many productions, he had seen enough rtionships to recognise the signs. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
The way they interacted, sharing food and exchanging sweet nces, was a clear indication of a
romantic rtionship.
But before he could continue, n interrupted sternly. “Shh, don’t talk nonsense!”
Yet the assistant director’s words made him recall something. George specifically insisted that
Giselle’s role was irreceable when investing in their movie.
On the same day. Jordan also invested in their film.
Recalling industry rumours and seeing how familiar George was with Jordan’s sister, it was clear as
day that George was treating her well because of his feelings for her brother.
In an instant, he became even more convinced of his previous suspicions.
Clearing his throat, he whispered to the bewildered assistant director, “If they were a couple, Milly
wouldn’t be acting so distant with him. It’s obvious Mr. Tate is being nice to her because she’s
Jordan’s
sister.”
The assistant director was shocked by the exnation.
Mr. But? He was nice to Milly because of her brother?
There were rumours that the two were close because they were mutually interested, with some
even iming to have seen them enter a hotel together.
So, those rumours were true?

Meanwhile, Milly had no idea n was imagining an entire soap opera in his mind.

When Georgeplimented the food, she raised an eyebrow, then narrowed her eyes
mischievously. She beamed at him and ced a bright red chili on his te.
“Mr. Tate, try this dish. Is it good?”
She huffed coldly. Didn’t you say it was good! Let’s see how you find this onel
But she had underestimated George’s resolve. He ate the chili with a nk face. George elegantly
wiped his lips and said, “Hmm, not bad.” There wasn’t the slightest sign of difort on his face.
Milly remained silent.
She was not convinced, so she ced a piece of raw garlic on his te and watched, hopefully.
Once again, George didn’t disappoint. He swallowed it without a grimace.
Milly’s eyes widened. All night, she continued to find unpleasant foods for him.
All night, George ended up eating lots of seasoning ingredients.
Despite the unusual meal, George’s stern face gradually softened with each bite, and the cold aura
around him began to dissipate.
From the farthest corner of the room, Stephanie watched them closely. When she saw George eat
the food Milly gave him, she clenched her fists and red at Milly with intense jealousy.
Why?
Why did Milly always get what I dreamed of so effortlessly?
I’m not going to ept this!
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the rage in her eyes, and when she looked up, she had
returned to her usual timid demeanour.
“Michelle, I heard you joined this production to win the role of Giselle; is that true?‘ Stephanie said
with a smile to Michelle, who was sitting and eating nearby. “Are you really okay with giving up the
role just like that?”
Someone suddenly addressed Michelle, who had been keeping a low profile all evening. She
paused a little and slowly swallowed her food before looking up at the young, bold girl beside her.
She had to admit that it was rare to hear someone speak so frankly in the chaotic entertainment
industry.
Michelle asked with a half–smile, “What do you mean?”
When Michelle responded to her words, Stephanie assumed she was interested. She let out a cold
smile and said confidently, “I know you weren’t happy about being reced and even posted a
tweet condemning it, which became a trending topic. Everyone knows about it. However, someone
later removed the trending topic.
Michelle had grasped on to her implication at this point. She calmly looked at Stephanie and urged,
“Just say what you have in mind. I don’t like beating around the bush.”

Stephanie went straight to the point and proposed, “Since we have amon enemy, why don’t we
join forces?
“Join forces?”
“Yeah, I don’t mind much. After all, I’m just a new actress. Good or bad, I’ll ept them all. My
career is just starting, I’ll have more chances in the future. But I feel bad for you, Michelle. You’ve
won so many awards, and now you’re being reced. It’s such a pity.”
Her words were sincere and touching, enough to move anyone to tears.
This was Stephanie’s usual tactic. She would portray herself as weak to evoke sympathy, then
make an offer to make others feel she had their best interests at heart. Her following words would
then subtly guide them into her trap.
She had never failed with this tactic, and she firmly believed it would work this time too.
Sure enough, Michelle seemed interested. She asked, “Oh? So how do you n to join forces?”
Since the fish had taken the bait, Stephanie couldn’t help but smile triumphantly. She knew no one
could resist such tempting benefits. Everyone was after profits.
“No rush. There are too many people here. It’s not convenient to talk in detail. Let’s discuss the n
after the gathering,” Stephanie said with a bright smile, but her words were chilling-
Isn’t Milly supposed to be amazing? Doesn’t she always manage to turn the table?
This time, let’s see how she escapes with this trick of mine.
