A Night with Her Cruel Mate

A bitter smile slowly emerged on Julia's face. Bad news always seemed to travel faster than good news.

"I'm at home," she responded to Samuel, staring at the ceiling.

"Wait for me at home. I'll be there soon," Samuel curtly replied as he was about to hang up.

Although he still had an important scene to shoot, he wasn't able to focus. He couldn't stop worrying about Julia after what had just happened.

For the first time in his life, he was going to ask the crew to stop shooting. He just wanted to stay with Julia.

"There's no need," Julia replied in a hurry. "I'm alright. Also, aren't you in the middle of a shoot? You shouldn't come over."

"But..." Julia interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

"Don't bother. I'm fine," she insisted, as if nothing had happened. She didn't want him to worry. "Besides, Consuela went to the office for a meeting. I believe that she'll have a solution soon. Even if you come today, you won't be able to go inside. The police have the area surrounded. They might turn their attention to you if you come over and I don't want you to get involved anymore."

She tried to convince him that she was alright. "I'll invite you for drink in a few days, just when everything has settled down. Will that be alright?"

"Yeah, okay then." Samuel nodded, respecting her decision. He knew her too well; once she made up her mind, she stuck with it.

After hanging up, she looked at her phone. Overwhelmed by the scandal, she collapsed.
