Chapter 20 The Old Fuddy-Duddy

Although they hadn’t seen Sean in person, they had heard that he loathed social gatherings and dining with strangers.

He was the lone wolf, always standing at the top of the pyramid. He commanded

everyone’s attention, and no one dared to approach him.

Elena grinned as she raised her hand to stroke a strand of hair near her ear.

I just extended the invitation. Whether he comes or not is still uncertain.”

She was curious to know if Sean was interested in her. She was only interested in using this as a test.

After all, Claire was beautiful, talented, and wealthy. She could find any attractive man she desired. There was no need for her to feel flattered by some old fuddy-duddy.

On set, the night scenes lasted until the early morning hours. Mr. Smith finally let everyone go around 2 o’clock in the morning.

Claire was so sleepy when she returned to the motel that she fell asleep as soon as her head was on the pillow. Julia knocked on her door as though she had only closed her eyes for a few seconds.

“Claire, wake up! It’s time to get to work.”

Claire thought it entertaining to stand in front of the mirror and see the dark circles under her eyes as if she’d been punched.

She yawned, applied makeup to the dark circles under her eyes, and headed out
