Chapter 43


    Alice wanted to pretend not to have noticed him, but the conspicuous second male lead had seen her from afar. With


    one hand in his pants pocket, he strutted over to her.


    “Don’t you think you owe me an exnation, Alice?”


    Alice caught the resentful looks from the other women in the crew and knew she was being had by him. She scowled.


    “What exnation?” Alice said icily.


    “I sent you so many text messages that day. Why did you not answer?” Although he was drunk on that asion, he


    had waited for Alice’s reply.


    There was no point in gossiping without Alice. It simply was not as enjoyable.


    Alice recalled the series of messages he had sent and exined awkwardly, “I was too exhausted that day and went to


    bed early.”


    “Why didn’t you answer when you woke up then?”


    “I forgot about it.”


    “How heartless you are, Alice! I was your friend for so many years! How could you have forgotten? I had such a big


    piece of gossip and no one to share it with. Can you imagine how I felt?”


    Alice went speechless at his overdramatic performance. “That’s enough, Josh! Didn’t you see the daggers the other


    women on set were throwing me?”


    “Not at all!” Josh scoffed and denied it. “Not unless you change my name in your WhatsApp!”


    “What do you want me to change it to?” Alice eyed him suspiciously.


    She knew just how much Josh liked to create trouble and was wary of what he might be up to.


    “Change my name to ‘the man I most wanted to marry’!” Josh raised a brow at her.


    “”The man I most wanted to marry’? Do you think you deserve that title?” Alice felt her temper


    escting.


    Josh was not intimidated at all. He folded his arms and threatened, “I heard someone want to


    participate in the variety show ‘Run! Cookie, Run!”? If you don’t change it, I’ll use my family


    connections to ensure no variety show will ept you.” Alice’s jaw tightened in a fury. She had


    to admit that he had her.


    Although the ie was more than respectable from the acting gigs, it was nothingpared


    to being on variety shows. This was especially true for ‘Run! Cookie, Run!’ where the payout


    was a hundred thousand dors per episode.


    She had her eye on it for quite a long while.


    If Josh used his family connections to bar her from the show, it would not be good for her.


    She sighed. She should tolerate him so everything would be smooth sailing.


    “Fine, I will change it. What about you? What are you going to change my name to?” Alice


    asked while she made the change.


    Josh whipped out his phone. He tapped into WhatsApp and showed it to her. “There you go.


    ‘My Goddess! Is that good enough for you?”


    “Absolutely!” Thank heavens he did not change her name to ‘wife’ or her agent would kill her.


    “Oh yes, aren’t you interested in finding out if my cousin and Freddie got the marriage


    license?” Josh leaned over with a wicked grin. “It was such a scandal that our family decided to


    keep the news quiet.”


    “They really got married?” Alice was surprised. She didn’t think the couple would work out in


    the end.


    “They got married, of course. I saw it in the group chat. After we film the kissing scene today, I’ll


    bring you to Freddie’s for a meal! We can get some first-hand gossip. How about that?”


    “Sure!”


    At the same time, William budged into the chairman’s office abruptly.


    “Daniel, I just made a terrible discovery!”


    Daniel eyed him calmly. “What is it?”


    William grabbed a chair and settled in, facing Daniel. “Do you remember the show where Josh


    was the second male lead?”

    Chapter 43 “Yes.”


    “He had volunteered to take that on the role because of the second female lead, yes?” William


    appeared very agitated. “Do you know who the second female lead in that show is?”


    “It doesn’t matter who she is. It was his choice!” Daniel was unconcerned.


    “It’s Alice! They have a lot of intimate scenes in the script! Kissing scenes, bed scenes. There is


    even one where they would be naked in the hot spring!”


    William did not think of this before today. He had just heard a report from Josh’s agent and


    nearly jumped out of his skin.


    Daniel froze the moment he heard what William had said. The expression on his face changed


    instantly.
