Chapter 36


    Other than the first day, Theodore did not show up on set for the rest of the week.


    Eventually, Everleigh believed that it was a coincidence that she bumped into him. She was relieved


    but also a little disappointed. Unfortunately, she had no time to ponder about it. Contrary to her


    expectations, her role as a medical expert was not easy.


    Selena was determined to make everything difficult for her. If Selena were free, she would mock


    Everleigh. Moreover, Selena was the female lead for the drama series. Hence everyone pandered


    to her. Even if she did not trouble Everleigh, all the crew stayed away from Everleigh.


    No matter what, being boycotted was very unpleasant.


    After lunch, Everleigh headed to the bathroom to dispose of the food container. She was at the door


    when she spotted Selena washing her hands at the sink. Everleigh frowned but still went in.


    After discarding the food container into the bin, she strode to the sink to wash her hands.


    Selena nced at Everleigh from the corner of her eyes and snorted, "You''re pretty tough. It''s been


    a week, and everyone ignored you. How are you even still here?"


    "I''m not here to make friends. I''m here for work, so it doesn''t matter if they ignore me." Everleigh


    lathered her hands with soap carefully. She nced at Selena and reminded thetter, "Medical


    staffs must strictly follow the seven steps of handwashing. Audiences nowadays pay attention to


    these details."


    Selena nced at her hands, instinctively. There was still foam on the back of her hands because


    she was scrubbing nonchntly. She retorted irritably, "We''re not even shooting right now. Stop


    attacking me for every single thing."


    Everleigh washed her hands calmly and straightened her back. She stared at Selena and


    commented, "Selena, you never change. You still can''t tell when someone''s nice."


    Everleigh turned around to leave. She could not be bothered to argue with Selena.


    For the entire week, Selena used all kinds of means to find fault with her. In her opinion, she was


    very childish, and it was the same for those who boycotted her.


    "Everleigh, stop right there," Selena turned around and shouted, "I hate you because you act like


    you know everything. I don''t care who got you your job or what background you have. As long as


    I''m the female lead, I''ll never let you off the hook."


    Everleigh frowned and nced at Selena. "Selena, I don''t understand why you''re being so hostile.


    We''re sisters, and I''ve never done anything to you."


    After returning to the country, Selena''s sudden hostile behavior puzzled her.


    "You don''t understand?" Selena sneered, and her eyes turned cold. "Of course, you won''t


    understand. You were the center of the world ever since we''re children, so how would you


    understand someone else''s feelings?"


    Suddenly, a crew member shouted to them from the corridor, "Miss Selena, the director is asking for


    you!"


    Selena did not continue. She red at Everleigh before hurrying away.


    Everleigh stared at Selena''s back, and she scowled.


    It was in the afternoon, and the scorching sun engulfed Ocpeace City.


    The high-rise buildings in the city center were reflecting the ring sun. It was so bright that no one


    dared to look up. The heat made the city burn, and the ground was sizzling. The pedestrians on the


    zebra crossing were scurrying to enter an air-conditioned room.


    In the lobby of the office building, two kids attracted a lot of attention.


    The seven-year-old girl was wearing a striking red dress, and her dark eyes were bright. As soon as


    she stepped into the building, she scanned the ce curiously. Her little face was flushed from the


    heat. She was so adorable that everyone was tempted to pinch her cheeks.


    There was a boy around her age behind her. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and a pair of


    shorts. He wasposed, and he did not look his age. He pursed his thin lips and focused his gaze


    on the little girl.


    "stair, it''s here, right? Daddy works here."


    stair frowned. He seemingly disliked how Adrienne addressed Theodore, but he did not retort.


    The receptionists at the front desk spotted the two children. The twins had been standing in the


    lobby for a while. The receptionists exchanged knowing looks, and one of the younger female


    receptionists walked to the children.


    "Kids, who are you looking for?"


    Adrienne turned around and smiled at the receptionist. She blinked her eyes and greeted sweetly,


    "Hello, prettydy!"


    The receptionist was taken aback and immediately chuckled, "Did you just call me a prettydy?"


    "You''re lovely!"


    No one could resist sweet words from an adorable girl.


    The receptionist''s voice softened. She knelt beside them and asked, "Kids, well, what are you doing


    here?"


    "stair and I are here to see Daddy."


    "Did you twoe on your own?"


    "Yeah." Adrienne nodded seriously.


    The receptionist was taken aback. She scrutinized the two seven- year- olds. The children might


    havee on their own, but most parents loved their children too much to let them wander on their


    own. Moreover, there were a lot of human traffickerstely. Hence no parents would risk letting their


    children go about on their own.


    "Have you called your father? You should ask him toe down and pick you up."


    Adrienne immediately shook her head and replied, "Daddy is busy working, so we''ll just wait for him


    here. Prettydy, can stair and I wait here?"


    The receptionist smiled lovingly. She was delighted to see an adorable and obedient child. "Of


    course,e with me."


    "Thank you, prettydy."


    As Adrienne followed the receptionist, she quietly put her hand behind her back and made a V sign


    to her brother.


    stair was speechless, but he could not do anything.


    Adrienne did not have Theodore''s number. Yet, she threw a tantrum in the morning and bugged


    stair to bring her to ''Daddy.'' He did not have a choice but to bring her along.


    Five minutester, the rest area in Godfrey Group became a children''s yground.


    The news that there were two beautiful children in the rest area spread like wildfire. The girl was


    sweet while the boy was cold. They looked like they just came out from aic book. Thus all the


    employees rushed over to have a look.

    With Adrienne''s sweet talk and lovely face, she managed to get two cups of juice, two icecreams,


    and countless snacks. It was a bargain!


    "Who are their parents? How did they get such a beautiful child?" "It makes me want to get a baby."


    The rest area was bustling.


    "Shouldn''t all of you be at work?" A low voice rang in the crowd. It was a middle-aged woman, and


    the crowd fell silent.


    A voice whispered in the crowd carefully, "Emily."


    The supervisor, Emily Carter, nced at the children on the sofa and frowned. She asked, "Who


    brought their kids here?"


    Everyone exchanged looks of confusion and shook their heads frantically.


    "The kids are here to see their father. They should be the children of one of the employees."


    "Nonsense!" Emily''s eyes darkened, and she snapped solemnly, "ording to the rules of the


    company, we''re not allowed to bring nonrted personnel into the building. Which department is


    their father from?"


    In the midst of the standstill, a ck car pulled over at the entrance.


    Suddenly, Adrienne, who was hugging the snacks on the sofa, leaped up. A tall figure got out of the


    car, and a group of people surrounded him. She shouted at the tall figure, "Daddy!"
