It was just a meal. It would be all right if she remained cautious.

"Great! I'll get the car. You…" Absolon cheered up when a shadow got on him.

​​

He looked up and saw the man who came for Christina, who was looking towards her not far away.

"Are you Absolon?" asked Drake. Angelo's heart raced and had a sense of expectation.

"Yes. What's the matter?"

Facing Drake, Absolon showed a look of a gentleman.

Drake didn't answer him but handed him a name card. Then he looked at Angelo with blame.

"Miss Angeline will go with me. You can eat with anyone except for her."

With that, he put his arm around Angelo and took her out of the studio.

When Absolon saw the name on the card, his annoyance for Drake ruining his plan was gone. Watching Angelo leaving with Drake, he didn't dare to stop them.

Christina stood there, feeling quite unhappy. She knew Drake would defend Angeline. After all, Angeline was Angelo's sister. Although she knew Drake did that because of Angelo, she still minded it.

If Drake got on with Drake for a long time, he might make their engagement valid.

"Isn't that… Mr. Thorne, your boyfriend, Miss Adams?" Absolon walked to Christina and asked in confusion.

Christina gave him a stern look. "Control yourself. Don't long for things you can't get."

Outside the studio, Drake sent Angelo on the car and said, "Be careful." Then he said no more words.

The excitement Angelo just had suddenly gone.

She wanted to say something when Christina came out of the studio and got to Drake. "You were so handsome just now! I feel so safe to be with you, Drake!"

Angelo had wanted to say something, but she decided to keep them when she heard Christina.

Then Christina turned to look at her and said, "Absolon is not a good guy, Angeline. I knew it when he didn't let go of your hand just now. I thought you saw him through just now, but you agreed to go to dinner with him. Don't you know how dangerous it is?" Christina blamed Angelo, looking like she was concerned about her so much.

"Just refuse him if he forces you to do something next time. For the quality of the movie, he dares not lodge a personal vendetta."

Angelo pursed her lips, didn't refute Christina, although she disagreed with her. Not everyone had a powerful family like Christina.

She had left the Thorne house and couldn't rely on them anymore. As for the Watts, she was from the leading Watts family, but she had no power. Besides, the Watts just got back to normal and couldn't support her.

Seeing Angelo in a lousy mood, Cindy said goodbye to Drake and Christina and asked the driver to go.

The car went away. Christina looked at Drake and said considerately, "Don't worry, Drake. I've warned Absolon to behave himself just now, but I didn't expect him to be such a pervert. I will help Angeline. You know, my family invested in shooting abroad. He won't do anything if I talk to him."

Drake remained silent for a while before saying, "Yeah. How's Angelo going?"

Christina paused and then breathed a sigh of relief inside. Sure enough, Drake cared about Angeline because of Angelo.

"Angelo is fine. I've asked people to protect him secretly. Don't worry about him."

Drake remained silent and frowned a bit as if troubled by something.

"What's wrong, Drake? Are you worrying about Angelo?"

Drake exhaled and uttered his confusion, "Angelo doesn't use the money in his card. How does he live?"

Christina stayed. She didn't think about that. The who spied on "Angelo" told her that "Angelo" lived in the posh part of town and ate in fancy restaurants every day. That would cost a large sum of money.

What was going on?

"Maybe… the white paid for him," concluded Christina. She couldn't think of anyone else who would pay for Angelo.

Drake suddenly became stern after hearing her.

Sensing that, Christina couldn't help getting away from him.

***

Angelo's domestic shoot soon finished. Absolon didn't come to her during this period. He even detoured when he saw her.

Angelo felt lucky about that.

***

"My engagement is next month. Can you come back?" Daisy asked Angelo on the phone. She was worried when she heard Angelo going abroad to shoot.

"I don't have much work abroad. Don't worry. I'll come back even if I can't finish the shooting then. I won't miss your engagement."

Daisy was delighted, "I knew you are best. But you can stay there if you are busy. You know, it's just an engagement. But you can't miss my wedding."

"All right. I should pack up. The departure time is near. Goodbye!"

Angelo hung up and put some clothes into her suitcase. She had to wear costumes while working, so she didn't need to bring many clothes.

When she got ready, Cindy happened to arrive.

"Do you hear that?" said Cindy mysteriously as she entered the room.

"What?" asked Angelo confusedly.

"I heard that Drake would go abroad with us!"

"An… Drake?"

What?!

Why would he go there?

"Yeah. They all said that Drake would accompany Christina to shoot abroad because of concern about her," Cindy grumbled. She didn't like Christina.

However, Angelo wanted to laugh. They went to France, the country where the Adams family had their business there. Christina had lived for over decades in France. How could Drake worry about her?

"Why don't you worry, Angeline? Christina may show off in public again."

Hearing that, Angelo gave a depressed expression and said, "Yeah. I'm worried so much! Is this the expression you want?"

***

In the airport lounge, Angelo saw Drake, who was beside Christina. Their relationship had been a hot debate among people, but they never explained it.

But Angelo was relieved. Because as she knew about Drake, he wouldn't have made his love a secret if he was in love with Christina. He would make it public, just like what he did to his engagement with Angeline.

In the lounge, there were full of actors.

Suddenly, "Angeline!" Angelo heard the call. She turned back and saw Clarence.
