Chapter 100


    “You’re awake, Ms. Sorelle.” At that moment, Francesca walked out of the kitchen with a te of dinner


    rolls. “That’s fantastic. Mr. Golding told me to take care of youst night. I was by your bedside all night,


    taking your temperature every hour. I was confused to see that you were still unconscious even though


    you didn’t have a fever.”


    As soon as she said that, Evander mmed the mug onto the table and cast her a reproachful look.


    Francesca didn’t dare to say another word and ced the dinner rolls next to him.


    However, warmth washed over Angeline. No wonder I felt someone by my side while I was sleeping.


    It’s pretty unexpected of him to get someone to take care of me.


    “I owe you one, Mr. Golding…”


    “There’s no need to thank me.” Evander’s tone was extremely cold. As he applied some chocte


    spread to the borders of a piece of toast, he reminded her, “But please make sure you’re properly


    dressed before youe out, Ms. Sorelle.”


    Angeline lowered her head and looked at her slippers. Her pale toes curled against the floor as


    embarrassment crept into her expression. She ran back to the room, onlying back down after she


    had washed up.


    The dining table had a wide spread of food that Francesca had prepared for breakfast.


    Angeline pulled out a chair next to Evander and sat down. Taking a sip of milk, she tried to look for


    something to talk about.


    “Is Floretta getting used to kindergarten?”


    Evander nced at her before answering tly, “Yes. She loves it there.”


    Angeline thought about how she had not seen Floretta recently and said a little guiltily, “That’s good to


    hear. I’ve been busy, so I haven’t been able to see her. But I do send her messages on WhatsApp


    every day. I’ve been busy because I’m working on producing and releasing a great movie.” She rested


    her chin on her hand and shot him an ingratiating smile. “As long as The Journey gets good ratings,


    you’ll be able to get a huge profit from your investment, right?”


    “Eat your food!”


    Evander red at her, stopping her from rambling further.


    The best ability she possessed was that as long as she had enough time, she could twist the truth


    entirely.


    “Yes, Mr. Golding.” Angeline instantly obeyed and shut her mouth.


    She picked up the mug on the table and took a sip of milk. A few droplets of milk stained the corners of


    her lips, and she instinctively licked it up.


    It was hard for Evander not to have his imagination run wild when he saw that suggestive movement.


    The memory ofst night’s events came back into his mind, and his body started burning again.


    He downed the coffee in one go and lifted the newspaper to hide the heated look in his eyes.


    Damn it! I must not interact with this woman for no reason anymore.


    After finishing breakfast, Ss drove Evander to the office. However, since it was on the way, he also


    sent Angeline to the film set.

    She got out of the car and was about to close the door when she hesitated and said, “Goodbye, Mr.


    Golding.”


    Evander hummed deeply in response. He was still looking as frosty as ever, seemingly unwilling to talk


    to her more than necessary.


    Angeline had no intention of making a fool of herself. She turned around and was about to head toward


    the film set when she heard his deep voice from behind her.


    “Remember to take your medicine.”


    She was stunned when she heard that.


    Was that my imagination? I think I heard a hint of tenderness in his voice.


    When she turned around, the car was already long gone. The corners of her lips curled into a small


    smile.


    It looks like the great Mr. Golding isn’t as cold as the rumors make him out to be. It’s not like he doesn’t


    care about anyone!


    “Angie!”


    Jacob was hanging from a wire with the help of the crew when he saw Angeline walk in. He


    immediately detached himself from the wire and ran up to her.


    “Are you okay? I suddenly lost you at the partyst night, and it scared me to death. Are you still in one


    piece?”


    He squeezed her shoulder as he looked her up and down in concern.


    “I’m fine. I suddenly got tiredst night and went home early.” Angeline backed away from him. “We’ll


    be doomed if someone takes a picture of us.”


    “Who would dare to do that? I’ll beat him to a pulp!”


    Angeline couldn’t hold back herughter when she heard that. “Aren’t you afraid you’ll be trending


    tomorrow? You’re a famous actor, yet you’re cussing. Wouldn’t that ruin your image?”


    “All right, then. I’m not mentally strong enough to tolerate the attacks from haters.”


    Jacob rolled his eyes. He quickly followed behind her and said, “Angie, you must let me know if you


    ever find yourself in such a situation again. You have no idea how long I have been looking for you…”


    All of a sudden, they ran into Derek.


    Angeline went pale. “Mr. McKenna, I’m sorry for beingte today. I will make up for all the scenes


    later…” she said, sounding extremely apologetic.


    “It’s fine. I know.”


    Unexpectedly, Derek didn’t blow up at her. A teasing glint shed across his eyes as he looked at her


    and cleared his throat. “The film is about to wrap up, so this is the busiest time for us. I hope you will


    exercise self-control and… refrain from doing certain things.”


    When Angeline heard that, her face turned beet red. Even a fool could understand what Derek meant


    by “certain things.”


    “It’s not what you think, Mr. McKenna…”


    Derek waved a hand at her and gave her a look that indicated he knew everything. “That’s enough. Go


    and get your makeup done. Don’t waste any more time.” He smirked and shook his head as he walked


    away.


    Angeline put her hand to her forehead,pletely speechless.


    It’s all Evander’s fault! He always brings Floretta here to visit me, and he was the one who personally


    rmended me for the role. It’s easy for anyone to misunderstand!


    “Angie, what did Mr. McKenna mean by that?” Jacob asked, confusion in his eyes.


    “It’s nothing. Children like you shouldn’t overthink things. Get back to your work.”


    Angeline let out a heavy sigh. She patted his head and left.


    In the makeup room, Angeline sent Nancy a text detailing what had happened at the party. She told


    Nancy about her being drugged and asked for help in finding the mastermind.


    There definitely is someone scheming against me. I will not let that person off so easily. I must find the


    true mastermind!


    Half a monthter, Jacob had finished all his scenes. As soon as Derek shouted “cut” for thest time,


    the film crew came over with a cake and a bouquet of flowers.


    With Derek in the lead, everyone cheered for Jacob and celebrated the end of his work.


    “Since it’s Jacob’sst day on set, why don’t we all go for dinner together as a way to rx?” Derek


    suggested.


    “Yeah!” everyone cheered.


    Jacob was the only one who had a conflicted expression on his face. “I’m sorry, but I have ns today,


    so I won’t be able to join you guys for the celebration. Please have fun on my behalf. It’ll be my treat!”


    he said, a little embarrassed.


    Although everyone was a little disappointed to hear that, no one verbalized theirints as they


    would be getting a free meal.


    After the celebration ended, everyone went on their own way.


    Jacob approached Angeline and shot her an enthusiastic smile. “Angie, you still owe me a meal. Why


    don’t you treat me to dinner tonight?”
