Serina wrapped her arms around Derek’s neck, reluctant to part with him.
“We’ve only been together for a few days. I don’t want to leave you!”
“You can stay here if you want. No one will force you to go.” Derek smiled.
“I can’t do that!” Serina pursed her lips and refused, “I’ve found where my interest lies. I must have my own career.”
“What’s wrong with being a housewife?”
Serina looked up and said, “No way!”
Derek looked at Serina with affection. “Alright, it’s up to you.”
“Focus on your work and don’t miss me too much. Think about me only in your spare time,” Serina said as she poked Derek’s chest with her fingers.
She said in a preaching tone like a nagging wife.
“Alright, I’ll work hard instead of missing you.”
“That’s not what I mean! How could you not miss me?” Serina said angrily.
Derek didn’t know what to do.
He suddenly popped up an idea.
He picked her up and walked towards the bedroom. “We still have some time. Let’s do something meaningful.”
“What do you mean?”
“You will know!”
When he lay on top of her, she finally realized what he planned to do.
She tried to break loose from him but failed.
“Derek, you’re so bad…”
“I’m more than bad. You’ll know it soon enough.” Derek kissed Serina on the lips.
In the afternoon, they parted reluctantly.
Derek was not willing to leave Serina in the crew. He was worried about her safety.
But he failed to persuade Serina. He could only arrange bodyguards to ensure her safety.
Serina met Ernest at the shooting site.
She realized that she hadn’t explained it to Ernest!
She smiled awkwardly at Ernest and followed him to his room.
“Ernie, I …” She didn’t know how to explain to him her relationship with Derek.
“How should I call you? Auntie Serina?” Ernest was relaxed.
“What?” Serina was overjoyed, “Don’t you blame me for hiding it from you?”
“Of course, I want to blame you! It’s such a big surprise. You have to play games with me for several nights to make up for it.”
“OK! No problem!” Serina patted her chest and promised.
“That’s more like it. But I won’t call you like that. And when I attend your wedding, I won’t send you any wedding gift.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Serina patted Ernest on the shoulder. She was relieved that he didn’t get angry.
“I’ll go clean up my room first.”
“Bye.”
“Bye!” Serina waved goodbye to Ernest and walked away.
Ernest turned disappointed after Serina left. But he knew he could do nothing.
If he really blamed her, they probably couldn’t be friends anymore.
Derek had made his relationship with Serina public, which meant Ernest didn’t have any chance.
The next day, Serina was shocked when she saw Sherry, the new heroine.
Sherry was the woman who had been sent to Derek’s room.
She reminded Serina of Derek’s past. He used to stay in the same room with different women.
Nothing really had happened, but Serina still felt a little uncomfortable.
Sherry had been very popular recently and had gotten some good resources. She was good at acting, so she had a lot of fans.
She was chosen as the female lead of this drama because of her excellent acting skills.
The roles she used to play were all sexy and cool. This time, she would play the role of Lena, a very cute girl. It was a challenge for her, but the audience would find it fresh.
Sherry smiled at Serina, but they didn’t talk with each other.
After shooting a few scenes, the director realized that he had made the right choice.
Sherry treated the crew very friendly. Soon, she got familiar with everyone.
She was a good actress, but Serina still did not like her.
In the evening, Serina came to Ernest’s room as promised. They played games for a long time before Ernest let Serina go.
And Sherry was waiting for Serina at the door.
“Mrs. Maynard, I’ve been waiting here for quite a while.”
Sherry’s tone made Serina feel a little uncomfortable.
“I’m not Mrs. Maynard, but the screenwriter,” Serina said coldly.
“Serina, could I have a chat with you?”
Serina glanced at Sherry. She was not interested at all, but there was no need for her to become Sherry’s enemy.
“Come in.” Serina swiped her card and went into her room.
Sherry followed her to the room.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly. I need to rest.”
“Serina, it seems that you don’t like me.” Sherry’s tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
“Don’t beat around the bush.”
“Alright, let’s cut to the chase. We have met at Mr. Derek’s home…”
“That’s also my home! Sorry, but I’m his wife,” Serina corrected her.
“OK, we met at your home last time. Mrs. Maynard sent me to Mr. Derek. It wasn’t the first time for Mrs. Maynard to do so…”
“So what? Have any of you slept with him?”
Serina smiled contemptuously. “Save it. I love him, so I trust him.”
Serina’s words rendered Sherry speechless. She seemed to have underestimated Serina.
“Serina, relax. This is not what I want to say.”
“Then what are you trying to say? Please hurry up. I need to have some rest!”
Serina was very impatient. She felt sick at the sight of Sherry.
