The mystery revealed, Isabella also lost interest. Instead, she looked forward to seeing Victoria’s self-righteousness and her eventual comeuppance.
“I’m tired, I’m going to bed.” Isabella shifts her body, turning her back.
But Andrew wraps his arms around her from behind, “Girl, are you planning to burn bridges?”
He kisses her sensitive neck fiercely, his seductive skills causing uncontrollable shivers to run through Isabella’s body.
“Andrew, you’re not keeping your word. Didn’t we agree on a night of mental love?” She protests passively.
“No, I didn’t agree…” He speaks as his lips continue to trail along her ear, deliberately blowing air into her sensitive ears.
“Andrew, you, you rogue!” She weakens as he continues to kiss her, her voice growing weaker.
For the next week, Isabella and Andrew are almost inseparable. If he doesn’t have to, he spends most of his time working from home.
In the study, he sits at the computer dealing with business while she sits on the small sofa by the window reading, playing with her phone, or listening to CDs. When she gets tired of reading, she can just look up and see him, his focused profile very charming.
Sometimes she finds herself staring at him. He notices, and comes over, wrapping his arms around her. They linger in each other’s embrace for a while before separating.
At night, if Andrew isn’t out entertaining clients, he entertains Isabella in bed. After the union of body and soul, their relationship becomes even more stable.
A week later, Isabella flies to Rochester town for filming. Andrew personally escorts her to the airport, and before boarding, she clings to him, reluctant to leave.
“If you don’t want to go, then don’t.” He holds her waist, chuckling lightly.
“Breaking the contract would cost a lot of money,” she pouts.
At that moment, the announcement urges passengers to board. She tiptoes and kisses his cheek, “I’m leaving, you be good.”
“Okay.” Andrew nods with a light smile. “Call me when the plane lands.”
“I know.” Isabella drags her carry-on luggage and walks into the boarding gate. Olivia has been waiting for her at the gate.
They board the plane together, and after taking their seats, Olivia can’t help but tease, “Just now watching you two being lovey-dovey, I suddenly realized, after you two fall in love, the unattainable Mr. Andrew has become much more approachable.”
Isabella blushes shyly, able to turn steel into silk, she actually feels quite accomplished.
The plane is about to take off, Isabella lowers her head to fasten her seatbelt and turns off her phone.
Two hours later, the plane lands at the airport. Isabella and Olivia head back to the hotel first.
The hotel is near the film and television city, and Isabella’s room is on a higher floor. She opens the window, and can vaguely see the outline of the film and television city.
This time, Olivia has arranged for her to shoot a suspense drama, a low-budget short drama. From the director to the actors, almost everyone is a newcomer, and Isabella plays a major role in this drama.
The reason why Olivia arranged this role for her is mainly because of the script. But the success of a drama depends not only on the script, but also on the final effect after shooting.
There’s a gambling element in Olivia’s decision to take on this project. If she wins, Isabella will climb another step. If she loses, it won’t be a big loss for Isabella, at most, it’s just a waste of time.
Isabella closes the window, takes out the script from her luggage, and sits on the sofa to read.
The next day is the first day of shooting, so Isabella gets up early.
Before she sets off, Olivia specifically reminds her: be cautious in your actions once you join the crew. You have the biggest reputation in the entire crew, and everyone will be watching you, seeing you as the benchmark. Once you slip up, you’ll easily be labeled as a diva. Many actors have lost their reputation due to carelessness.
Isabella absolutely heeds Olivia’s words. She’s the first actor to arrive at the set, helping out with Olivia on site, without any airs of a star or heiress. The crew members instantly warm up to her.
As other actors arrive at the shooting location one by one, Isabella joins them in makeup.
Although Isabella is famous, she is young and outgoing, getting along with everyone. She quickly becomes friends with the cast and crew.
The first day of shooting goes smoothly.
After wrapping up for the night, Isabella video chats with Andrew for over an hour, telling him about the amusing incidents on set. Andrew is a good listener, patiently listening without showing any impatience.
“The male lead of the crew is handsome and refined, and he’s also very witty. But, compared to our unemployed wanderer, he’s still a far cry.”
“Today, during the shoot, to achieve the dramatic effect, the props department prepared water at 70 degrees Celsius. It was poured on our hands, and it was so painful. ”
“What about Asher? Does he miss me?”
“Asher is already asleep. He was asking where mommy went when he woke up this morning,” Andrew replies with a warm smile.
“And you, do you miss me?” She asks with a smile, her hand supporting her cheek.
“Of course,” he nods with a smile, then adds, “You should go to bed too, you have to work tomorrow.”
“Okay, goodnight.” She picks up her phone, kisses the screen forcefully, then ends the video call.
