Angeline frantically shook her head. When the meaning of Evander’s words sunk in, she hurriedly packed her things and followed him downstairs.

He had probably contacted the manager in advance so that there wouldn’t be any press waiting for them at the private elevator.

As soon as Angeline got out of the elevator, she felt the biting chill through her clothes. She involuntarily shivered and even coughed a few times.

After they got into the car, Evander switched the heater on. The interior of the car got warmer and warmer, and Angeline eventually stopped feeling cold.

While her gaze was fixated on the view outside the window, Angeline suddenly felt a bottle of water land on her. “Take the medicine or get out of my car,” he ordered in a cold voice.

She was rendered speechless.

Is he going to let me off here? Isn’t that the same as throwing me to the wolves?

Angeline was not that foolish. She hurriedly took the medicine out of her bag and swallowed it with a sip of water.

Not long after, drowsiness started to hit her. She leaned back against the headrest and gazed at the view outside the window. It was then that she noticed they were not heading toward the film set.

She parted her lips, wanting to ask something, but she was unable to gather the strength to even mutter a word.

Yet, for some reason, she trusted Evander and believed that he wouldn’t hurt her.

In the end, she didn’t say anything. After holding out for a few minutes, she fell into a deep sleep.

Half an hour later, Evander pulled into the entrance of the Golding residence. He gazed at Angeline, who was fast asleep, and smirked in resignation.

In the next moment, he opened the door and carried Angeline out of the car.

His arms were wrapped around her waist in the gentlest embrace as if he was afraid that he would hurt her.
