She forced a smile. “Can you bear seeing Angeline with another man? It’s half the battle won if we work together.”

Jacob set down his cutlery and dabbed the corners of his lips. “Sorry to disappoint, but I won’t do anything to harm Angie.”

I have spent many years searching for Angeline, besides doing everything I can to join the film crew to repay her kindness all those years ago.

“Please, Olivine. Have some self-respect,” he said with a heavy emphasis on the final two words while leaning forward, both hands bracing the table before him, to glare at her.

Olivine only regained her composure after Jacob left. I can’t believe I was embarrassed by a kid like that!

It was already too late when she thought of a rebuttal as Jacob had disappeared from her sight.

Evander sent Angeline to her door and drove off after she exited the vehicle.

He had scowled the entire way there without saying a word to her.

Meanwhile, Angeline watched his car disappear with an innocent expression as she puzzled over the cause of his anger.

I am only a humble artist. How would I dare to deduce the CEO’s thoughts? Just as well. I didn’t want to keep waiting in that restaurant, anyway.

As Angeline entered her house, she was determined not to give the matter any more thought after she removed her shoes. Instead, she immersed herself in a scented bath.

Exhausted after spending the entire day on set, she yearned for nothing more than a good night’s sleep.

Over the following fortnight, Angeline directed almost every ounce of her energy on set to shoot The Journey.

Since it was already popular as a novel, the Internet became ablaze with speculation when filming of its adaptation was announced to commence.

However, public opinion on the matter was divided as many thought the cast was too young and inexperienced on screen.

The reviews toward Angeline were even more malicious. They believed that she, who had attained fame via being the subject of tabloid gossip, would not be skilled enough to bring her character, Alleria, to life.
