My Love, Enlighten me

Anne tried The Lost City because she certainly didn’t know that the writer was Gloria.

But, after what happened these past two days, Anne should’ve known.

***

Gloria had just left the studio when a white car stopped in front of her.

The door was pushed open, and Anne wearing a pair of sunglasses stepped out of the car.

Anne was wearing a leather jacket for a photo shoot. It was tough to wear that in August weather.

Anne crossed her arms and walked toward Gloria. She raised her chin, looking arrogant, “I heard that you’re working in the entertainment industry.”

Gloria didn’t reply. She kept looking at Anne.

Anne was pissed off when Gloria ignored her, but she endured it when she remembered her purpose, “Did you write the Lost City?”

“Yes.” Gloria wanted to see what trick was up to her sleeve this time.

Anne took her sunglasses off, “You have a good relationship with the producer of The Lost City, right? I like the script. I don’t have to be the female lead. You can give the second role and then, I’ll consider our problem to be settled. You can also be a Taylor again.”

Settled?

Gloria sneered, “What do you mean you settle our problem? What did I even do to you? As for going back to Taylor, I’m not interested.”

Anne didn’t expect Gloria to be so unappreciative.

She was angry, “This is your last chance! I’m being kind and give you the opportunity to go back to the family. Why are you so ungrateful?”

Gloria knew what Anne was thinking.

Anne let her come back to the family so that she could treat and use her the way she did when Gloria was pretending to be dumb and ugly.

Gloria saw through her wishful thinking, but she was not a fool.
