Yvonne looked up and saw that it was Jenkins.

His tall figure loomed over her as he stared intensely at the tablet in her hand. His lips were pursed into a thin line, and his eyes were filled with tension. Yvonne shifted her gaze back to her tablet and jumped in surprise.

It was a kissing scene between her and the male lead.

She felt her body go numb as panic filled her heart, but she quickly calmed herself down.

It was just acting! Besides, Jenkins was in the entertainment industry. Didn't he know about this?

He probably would not mind, would he?

"Mr. Quartley, this is the web series that I have been in," Yvonne stood up with a smile.

Jenkins's eyes turned cold as he questioned, "Was the kiss staged or real?" His voice was solemn and emotionless, sending a chill up Yvonne's spine.

She chuckled dryly and replied, "It was real, but it was only a brief kiss. We were just filming, so there was nothing..."

Her words suddenly became stuck in her throat.

Jenkins's huge, strong hand had suddenly latched onto her chin, pinching it so tightly that Yvonne could feel the pressure of his fingertips.

Pain shot up her jaw and spread up her cheeks.

Her perfectly plucked brows tightly knitted in agony.

"Mr. Quartley, what's wrong?" Despite the pain, she had managed to squeeze out a smile.

"No more scenes like this in the future. Only stage kisses," He hissed.

Yvonne wanted to refute.

As a professional actress, it was her job to act convincingly. She had treated all the scenes required from her as part of her work, and nothing was going on between her and her colleagues. However, as she noticed the murderous look in Jenkins's eyes, she didn't dare say another word.

"Alright, Mr. Quartley," She muttered.

Jenkins' grip on her loosened.

Then, he carried Yvonne to the bathroom. He turned on the showerhead, and cold water immediately gushed out from it.
