A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"Apologies, Director Guo. I was thinking about something else just now." Lisa apologized for spacing out for a moment. She straightened her back and leaned forward. "I think I know how the play will go."

"Really?" Director Guo tilted his head and looked at Lisa with a hint of doubt. "I’m telling you, if you can’t still act well, then I have to let you and Julia exchange roles until you can do it."

"Be assured, I’ll give my role justice this time." She held her chin up.

Although she was clueless about why Julia let her go, Lisa had reached her purpose, nonetheless. If it went on like this, Director Guo wouldn’t be pleased. She had to give up.

After they settled, they proceeded to film shooting. Director Guo was satisfied since the following scenes went on smoothly. The last scene was revolving around the hero and the heroine. Right after Julia finished their performance, she headed to the dressing room. Abby followed her. "Julia, I bought some ointment for you. This will prevent the swelling of your injury."

"Thank you. I appreciate it." Julia’s face lit up. Her scenes for that day were finished.

She hadn’t had a good rest for so long. On her chair, she grabbed pieces of cotton and started removing her makeup. Before leaving, she packed all her stuff and covered herself up with her coat on the way out. It was already late when she arrived at her hotel room.

Terrence arrived only minutes after Julia left.

Since he knew that Julia was shooting in this area, he couldn’t take it out of his mind. When he went to the company this morning, he couldn’t focus on his work. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to pay her a visit.

The atmosphere on set instantly changed when Terence appeared out of nowhere. He was looking around for Julia when Jean came out. She asked in a sweet voice, "Why are you here, Terence?"

In order not to be awkward, Terence smiled. His mouth was shut because he couldn’t even think of anything to say.

Discreetly, he studied the area searching for Julia, but he failed.
