Sherry lowered her head and forced a smile.
“Serina, you know that it is not easy to live in our circle. Back then, I had no way to display my talents, so I had no choice but to use Mr. Derek to get a career bump.”
“…”
“Mrs. Maynard appreciated me, so she promised me that as long as I could make Mr. Derek happy, she would give me good resources. Then I become what I am now.”
“So?”
“There are very few people who know about this, and you’re one of them. I think that if I don’t have acting skills and only have resources, I won’t be able to make a name for myself.”
“You want me to keep this a secret for you, don’t you?” Serina finally understood Sherry’s intention.
“Serina, you’re very smart. That’s right. I don’t want others to know about this. The secret can destroy me.”
Serina suddenly laughed out, “So that’s the case. Okay, no problem. As long as you don’t get me in trouble, I won’t get you in trouble.”
“You must be joking. Who dares to get you in trouble? You are now the famous Mrs. Maynard.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. You can leave now. I’m going to sleep.”
“Thanks, Serina.”
Sherry finally let out a sigh of relief. She turned around and left. When she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped.
“Serina, I think you are simple, so I want to give you a piece of advice. Men from rich families are not that simple.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Nothing. Although Mr. Derek has never touched women like us, it doesn’t mean that he had no women before.”
“That’s all I have to say. Good night, Serina.” Sherry smiled faintly.
With that, she opened the door and left.
Serina couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She really didn’t understand Sherry!
After taking a shower and getting on the bed, Serina planned to call Derek, but when she thought of Sherry, she felt uncomfortable and threw her phone aside.
She didn’t expect that Derek didn’t call her either.
Serina was angry and did not call Derek for three days, not even sending a text message.
In the past three days, she had been very busy. She had to deal with works in the film crew during the day and play games with Ernest in the evening.
On the fourth day, Serina finally received a phone call from Derek.
However, the phone rang more than ten times before she lazily answered.
“What are you doing? Why did you take so long to answer the call?”
“Nothing.” Serina was in a sulk.
“What’s wrong? It sounds like you’re in a bad mood. Who made my dearest Serina so angry?” Derek now got used to teasing her.
“Who else could it be?”
“Let me guess, well … Did Ernest make you angry? Ignore him. I will teach him a lesson later.”
“It’s not him but his uncle!” Serina snorted.
“Me? What did I do?”
“I said you didn’t need to miss me. How could you really don’t miss me? You didn’t even call me!”
“Of course, I did miss you. On the first day, I didn’t call you because I thought you had a lot to do with the film crew. The day before yesterday and yesterday, I had a meeting until very late, and I was afraid that I would wake you up, so I didn’t call you.”
Derek’s explanation was flawless, and Serina could not find any loopholes. After all, it was for her own good.
“I don’t care! In the future, call me every day. If it’s too late, send me a WeChat message to inform me.”
“Alright, I got it. Don’t be angry now, okay?”
“By the way, do you know who the female lead is?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t deal with this anymore. Didn’t you say that I couldn’t interfere?”
“It’s Sherry!”
“Sherry? Who is Sherry?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. She was once in the same room with you. Don’t tell me that you have forgotten that.”
Serina did not believe that someone as smart as Derek would forget a woman who was once with him.
“I don’t remember exactly.”
“You have too many women to remember, right?”
“What’s wrong with you today? Why are you so angry? It’s not just because I didn’t call you, right? If you don’t like that, Sherry, I will call the producer later and replace her.”
“There’s no need to replace her. She acts pretty well. In this way, it makes me feel like I’m taking advantage of you to bully others.”
“I have another question for you.” Serina pursed her lips unpleasantly.
“Go ahead.”
“Have you really not touched the women your mother sent over?”
“I definitely haven’t touched them. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Henry. He is the one who handles these things.” Derek looked quite frustrated.
“Then have you ever touched any other women? For example, your girlfriend. You don’t like the women your mother has prepared for you, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t find one yourself.”
Derek was suddenly silent.
Serina thought the phone was hung up. She picked up the phone and found that it was still in the call.
“Hey, darling, are you still there?”
“Yes.”
“Then why aren’t you saying anything?”
“I never have…” Derek’s voice became low and deep. He thought that Serina was extremely sensitive, so it would be better not to tell her those things.
Serina seemed to sense the frustration in Derek’s low voice. “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just…”
‘To always be questioned like this, he must feel uncomfortable,’ she reflected on herself.
‘It doesn’t matter what Derek did in the past. What’s important is that he only loves me now. ‘
“Alright, that’ enough. Go to bed then. It’s getting late.”
“Then are you still angry with me?”
“No.”
“Good, then kiss good night…”
“Good night.”
“Good night.”
After hanging up, Serina finally had a good sleep.
But Derek was unable to sleep for a long time that night.
During half a month of filming, they chatted for a while on the phone before going to sleep almost every day.
But in fact, chatting on the phone could not relieve the pain of lovesickness.
In the past few days, Serina was under the weather and unable not eat. She even felt sick sometimes.
When she was eating with Lawis and the director, she did not have much appetite.
“Serina, you don’t look well these days. Are you ill?”
Serina smiled awkwardly. “No, maybe it’s because I couldn’t adapt to the recent change of season. Nothing serious.”
“If you don’t feel well, you must tell us, will you?” Lawis asked with concern.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Serina nodded.
“I have an idea. The script for the next few days has almost been finalized. Serina, how about taking a few days off? You really don’t look well.”
Serina wanted to refuse, but when she thought that she could go back to see Derek during the leave, she was a little tempted.
“Is this okay?”
“No problem, Serina. Have a good rest.”
