Chapter 136 Shattered

In the deep of night, when all was quiet, a black Porsche Cayenne drove discreetly into the underground garage of the Cloudwater City film crew’s hotel.

“Mr. Marshall, we’re here.” the driver said.

The driver looked in the rearview mirror and saw Troy sitting in the back seat, eyes closed, seemingly resting. He spoke to notify him.

“Okay.”

Troy responded with his eyes still closed. Then, there was silence as if he had fallen asleep.

The driver, smelling the strong scent of alcohol in the car, hesitated, unsure whether to continue reminding Troy.

After two minutes, Troy stirred in the back seat.

He squinted, his hand fumbling around his body for a moment. He then pulled out his phone from the inner pocket of his suit, tapped a few times, and dialing filled the car.

Soon, someone answered the call, their voice tired but unmistakably joyful, “Troy?”

“I’m downstairs at the hotel where you’re staying.”

After Troy sent a bodyguard to fetch her, Sarah realized that if Troy didn’t indulge her or want to see her, she wouldn’t be able to see Troy.

The strategy was useless now, so she pretended to be stable and continued filming, waiting for an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of filming, in the dead of night, Troy came to see her.

Sarah was overjoyed. Her tiredness vanished instantly. “I’m coming down to see you right now!” She quickly got out of bed, ready to change clothes, but then stopped, going to the mirror to look at herself.

Her hair, which reached her chest, was messy from sleep. Her eyes were groggy, her expression weary. She wore a floral–print camisole nightgown that was relatively short, going only to her thighs, hinting at what lay beneath.

She thought for a moment, applied some lipstick to her lips, took a short jacket from the wardrobe, put it on, grabbed her room key, and left.

“Troy!”

In the quiet underground garage, Sarah’s voice was especially clear.

Troy looked out the car window, saw her, and got out.

“Why didn’t you come up?” Sarah walked up to him, her eyes full of exeitement but with a hint of hesitance. She bit her lip. “I thought you’d never see me again!”
