Angelo turned her head back and saw Cindy looking at her, she didn't know what to do. Out of courtesy, she asked Cindy to take the gift over.

"The shooting is about to start. I'll act with you. How about we rehearse it now?"

​​

Angelo was surprised to hear Christina say that. Christina seemed more dedicated than before.

But for work, Angelo had been more dedicated than others.

"All right," she replied.

Both of them were wearing their costumes. While they were acting, Cindy watched beside them and gradually engaged in it.

She had to say, both Angelo and Angeline were good at acting, and they had good appearances.

When they finished, Christina suddenly said, "No, I shouldn't look in that way. How about we do it again?"

Angelo nodded and was about to start when someone suddenly knocked at the door.

"Excuse me, is Miss Adams here?"

Angelo was familiar with the voice. It was Aiken.

"Yeah."

Christina went to open the door and poked her head out to ask, "What's the matter?"

Aiken couldn't see the situation in the room.

"Mr. Thorne is about to go back. He asked to tell you that."

Christina gasped as if remembering something.

"I'm sorry. I forgot him. I'll send him to leave."

"Don't bother. He knew you are busy and don't want to bother you. So, if you're available this evening…" Aiken suddenly stopped talking because he saw Angelo inside when Christina opened the door to get out.

"If I'm available?" asked Christina, confusedly. Aiken then got his senses back and could only continue, "Mr. Thorne said he would come to pick you up for dinner if you are available tonight. Goodbye, Miss Adams."

After finishing his words, Aiken turned to leave.

He was so nervous about delivering those intimate words in front of Angelo.

Seeing Aiken leaving, Christina thought about it and turned back to say, "I'm sorry. Drake is about to leave. I'd better say goodbye to him. I will try to adjust my acting later."

The door of the lounge then closed. Cindy peaked at Angelo and didn't dare to speak.

"She did that on purpose, did she?" The makeup artist suddenly said with disgust filled in her voice.

"What rehearsal?! She came to show off. How childish! Don't mind that, Angeline. She's just a…."

"I don't mind it," Angelo interrupted the makeup artist's comforting. She disliked Christina. But she was not hostile to her since she learned about Christina being raped. She just felt sympathy for her.

Besides, she had decided to break up with the Thorne family and should stay away from Drake.

She didn't want to lose herself because of Drake.

When the shooting started, Christina hurried to come back.

When Angelo shot with Christina, they could pass once and didn't need to do it again. And sometimes, Christina brought surprises to Angelo.

After the shooting, Angelo was about to go to change when Christina came over.

"Angeline, this is the other director of the movie, Absolon," said Christina.

One foreigner came over. He looked over fifty, but his eyes were bright.

"Hello, I'm Absolon. Nice to meet you, Miss Angeline," said Absolon fluently in English, but his tone was not relatively standard and sounded weird.

"Hello, Mr. Absolon." Angelo shook hands with Absolon, but when she tried to withdraw her hand, Absolon wouldn't let go of her hand as if trying to touch her long, no matter if she wanted it or not.

Yes, he was taking advantage of her!

Angelo remained her smile. In her previous life, she experienced things like this a lot and knew how to deal with them.

But before she could take any action, Christina suddenly grabbed her wrist and got Absolon's hand away.

"It's late, Mr. Absolon, you should go back."

"Yeah. It's late. I overlooked that. Do you have time now, Miss Christina? May I have the honor of having dinner with you?"

"I'm sorry. I have an appointment."

While Christina was talking, a man entered the studio.

"Hi, Drake." Christina waved her hand at Drake and then said to Angelo, "Excuse me, Angeline. You'd better go back early."

"Is this the man you have an appointment with?" asked Absolon. Christina nodded, "Yes. Goodbye, Mr. Absolon."

Angelo watched Christina walking to Drake and felt pain in her heart. Finally, she moved her eyes away.

She wouldn't feel so sad if she didn't do that.

At this point, Absolon suddenly looked at Angelo with an ambiguous smile, "Well, are you available, Miss Angeline? How about we…."

"Sorry, I'm busy," Angelo interrupted him directly. She didn't even bother to keep her smile and coldly said, "See you."

"Wait," Absolon suddenly blocked her way, looking very impatient.

"You know, I'm the director of this movie, which will be on air later. I can decide if you can get famous worldwide. So, don't you think you should show yourself now?"

Angelo sneered with disdain in her eyes, "You mean, you want me to sleep with you?"

"Oh, that's too much. I just want to eat with you. That's it."

Absolon's words echoed in the studio, where several employees were packing up the props, but they didn't even pause when they heard them, as if they had used such things.

However, Drake and Christina stopped at the same time.

"You mean, you can make me famous if I eat with you?" asked Angelo with banter.

In her previous life as Angela, many people wanted to sleep with her. She had fed up with all kinds of hinting words.

But she had never expected that Absolon, a well-known director, would do that.

"I've said it. It would be best if you showed me your sincerity. You know, I've created so many international stars."

What he hinted at was so apparent that Angelo would be a fool if she couldn't get him.

Angelo thought about it. There was part of the movie she needed to shoot abroad later. Absolon was the dominant director. She wouldn't get anything good if she offended him now.

"Well, a meal, right? Of course, I can eat with you." Angelo faked a smile.
