Chapter 238 Astonished

Simone cried for an unknown time before getting up to freshen up. She walked into the living room andcasually picked up a doll from the cabinet. Opening the back of the doll, she took out an ancient keyfrom inside.

Her master had given her this key before he passed away. He had said that one day, she would needit. Presumably, besides the seal, what the duo mentioned earlier was that this key was needed toaccess what her master had left behind.

The geomancy association had a dedicated storage facility for mystical tools, antiques, and other itemsfor geomancy masters or wealthy elites. Each storage cabinet required a specific method to open.Anyone who tried to open it forcefully or cleverly would face a backlash from the ancient formationoutside the storage facility.

Therefore, it was considered the safest storage place in the country. Of course, the storage fee wasalso astonishing.

Simone pondered for a moment. She decided to wait until the next episode of the variety show to takeout the items and have a look.

The headquarters of the geomancy association was located in Cubilis. She had a feeling that she wasunder supervision now. There was no need to go there to retrieve the items, and she was not short ontime either.

She caressed the ancient key and stuffed it into the doll along with the seal. She also attached. atalisman to conceal the aura inside the doll. Carrying these two things with her at all times. wasinconvenient, and keeping them in a safe at home or a drawer was even less secure. By placing them

in the doll, she could openly display it as a decoration on the cabinet in the living room, and it would notattract attention or reveal that hidden things were inside.

Simone calmed her emotions and then left for the set of the Republican Era drama she was filming.She played the third female lead, while Ethan played the second male lead.

The third female lead had fewer scenes and could be filmed in half a month. This drama had a largeinvestment from the production company.

After receiving her payment from the variety show, she also invested millions. When she arrived at theset, filming had not started. The director was talking to Zac, and she was surprised. Why is he here?

At that moment, both the director and Zac noticed her entering. Zac raised his hand, smiled, and wavedat her. “Simone!”

He smiled and said, “I’m here to play the third male lead.”

The director said, “The previous third male lead dropped out, and I’ve been looking for an actor who fitsthe image and talisman. I didn’t expect Mr. Turner’s agent to contact me proactively, saying he wantedto play this role.” He half-jokingly added, “I had to catch him. quickly, didn’t I?”

Zac had a charismatic and somewhat rebellious image, exuding a handsome and slightly. rogue charm,like a nonchalant nobleman from the Republican era. He was a top-tier young idol, and if he joined theproject, it would attract much attention. His acting skills were also impressive, and coupled with hisproactive approach, there was no reason for him to refuse.

Simone and her friends were major investors, which was why he explained in such detail. She smiledand said, “I see.” She asked him, “Why did you decide to act in this drama?”

He did not hide anything and replied, “I heard you were cast as the third female lead in this drama, so Iwas curious and wanted to look at the script. I quite liked the third male lead role, so I volunteered.”

He had come for Simone specifically; otherwise, his agent had a bunch of other offers for male leadsthat he had turned down. The thought of being able to act alongside her and see her frequently madehim feel delighted.

She nodded with a smile and said, “The script is indeed great, and your image matches well with themale lead.”

Zac extended his hand and said, “Please take care of me in the future.”

Simone shook his hand and replied, “Sure, let’s take care of each other!”

Alex had also figured out by now that Zac had come for Simone.

No wonder he, a big star, suddenly decided to act as the third male lead. He purposely gave themspace and said, “You two chat. I’ll make arrangements, and we can start filming soon.

The opening ceremony had already taken place, and Simone had helped with the scheduling. Thedrama had been filming for a while now, mainly focusing on the scenes between the female and malelead.

After Alex left, Zac sent a message on his phone. Then, he started discussing the script with Simoneand even sought advice on some acting techniques.

After about ten minutes, his assistant hurriedly came in and handed him a bag. Zac thanked theassistant, took a box of frozen eye masks from the bag, and handed it to Simone. ‘I noticed that your

eyes are a bit swollen, so I had my assistant buy a box of eye masks to reduce the swelling for you.”

She looked at the box he handed her, feeling a bit stunned. She did not expect this man to be sothoughtful and considerate. She smiled and accepted it, saying, “Thank you, I do need this. I cried quitea bit earlier, and now my eyes feel kind of swollen.”

She could not help but feel good being cared for like this. After all, even her ex-boyfriend, Leon, hadnever been this considerate toward her.

Zac smiled. “No need to be polite with me.” Then, he asked cautiously, “Did something happen to you?Is there anything I can help with?”

In his eyes, Simone was a strong girl. If her eyes were swollen from crying, something must havehappened. He was worried about her and even felt a little sorry for her.

She gave him a reassuring look. “I’m fine. I met someone today who was close with my master andcouldn’t help but miss him, so I cried.”

When it came to Zac, she trusted him. He breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”
