A Film Queen

Chapter 148 The Tricky Old Monk

Milly’s gaze was too aggressive, and for a moment, even Jonathan, who could usually face flashing cameras without changing his expression, was startled.

“I… I just said it, didn’t I? I was being so foolish before, like my brain was clouded. I mistook worthless things for treasures. But now, I’m better…”

These words were spoken cautiously and stutteringly, full of flaws.

Of course, Milly did not believe it.

Afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, Jonathan made a point to emphasize again, “Milly, you might not believe me, but you can’t doubt my unwavering loyalty. My loyalty is as clear as the heavens and earth!”

Milly remained silent.

It would be strange if she believed this nonsense.

But seeing Jonathan’s evasive gaze and obvious guilt masked by stubbornness, she guessed that no matter how many questions she asked, he would likely evade them with vague answers.

It didn’t matter. There was plenty of time in the future. She could slowly probe and investigate.

“Cut! That’s a wrap! Very good!” Mr. Hawkins clapped his hands crisply and shouted.

Standing not far away in the corridor, Milly, with tear–stained checks, quickly snapped out of character. She took the tissue from Joy, wiped her face, and bowed to Mr. Hawkins. “Thank you, Mr. Hawkins,” she said.

Then, Mr. Hawkins smiled and waved his hand cheerfully.

The assistant director nearby immediately brought a bouquet and said, “Congratulations, Milly, on wrapping up!”

Instantly, cheers and applause erupted all around.

In the atmosphere filled with thunderous applause, Milly, with tear–filled eyes, accepted the bouquet brimming with blessings and bowed to everyone again.

In her previous life, she had also filmed many TV dramas and movies and received countless flowers and applause. She had thought she would be numb to the wrap–up

But now, standing amid the crowd, holding the bouquet in her hands, she still felt a warm excitement in her heart…

It felt warm and moving, like her steadfast commitment to pursuing an entertainment career.
