"You!"

A muffled laugh came from behind.

Yorrick put down his wine glass, walked toward Xyla, and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Ms. Smalls, we're about to go to bed already. Do you want to stay back and watch?"

Xyla deliberately hid in his arms. "Honey, you naughty boy. How could you ask others to watch?"

Yorrick pinched her chin and stared down at her bare face. Sweat beads rolled down from the sides of Jodie's forehead.

'Are they planning to kiss in front of me?'

Jodie's eyes turned bloodshot due to the wrath burning within her chest. In the end, she bit her lip, turned her head away, and ran out of the room.

It was also at this time that Xyla pushed Yorrick away from her,walked to the couch, and picked up her bag. "That should mark the end of tonight's play. I should head back already."

"How are you so sure that she won't be waiting at the door?" Yorrick interrupted her with a smirk.

She stopped moving forward and looked back at him. "Then are you telling me that I'll have to wait until the middle of the night to leave?"

She was about to have a mental breakdown. "I have been filming recently, and I'm only getting around four hours of sleep every night. I'm struggling to even keep my eyes open now. I can't wait any longer." I'm just someone who wants to go back home to sleep now.'

"I have an empty guest room here," Yorrick suggested softly as he turned and walked toward the master bedroom. "You can always lock the door from the inside if you're worried." Xyla was at a loss for words. In the end, she could only make do with staying here for the night. The next morning, Xyla was woken up by a phone call. She sat up groggily and answered the phone.

Mindy's voice sounded as soon as the call was connected. "You're late! You're needed in all sets throughout the whole day today!'

Xyla remembered something, quickly turned over, got out of bed, and looked at the time. 'Sh*t! It's 10:00 a m. already!?" "I'll depart right now!"

She ended the call, freshened up in a hurry, opened the guest room door, and walked out.

Yorrick was sitting at the dining table and reading the newspaper while a waiter served him his breakfast.

She was dumbfounded. Yorrick closed the newspaper. "Come and have some breakfast first."

Xyla scratched her hair and waved her hand. "I'm running late already. I'll pass."

12.10

Yorrick picked up the phone. "I'll apply for an emergency leave from the director on your behalf, and I'll take you there in person after breakfast.'

It was already noon when Xyla arrived at the filming studio. Fortunately, the director had filmed the scenes with the other actors first.

Mindy waited for Xyla, who was late, at the studio entrance. She then hurried over when she saw her arriving at the studio." Thank God the director didn't complain much about you being late. He only told us that you've applied for an emergency leave. But what exactly did you tell the director when you called to apply for leave? The director seems quite happy after getting your update."

Xyla went to the dressing room and was about to put on makeup.

The director is happy because Mr.

Hathaway, the local tycoon, has agreed to invest even more money into this project.' Marione walked past the dressing room with another actress, and the actress said disdainfully, "The advantage that one can get when she's dating one of the investors is really unbelievable. Even arriving at work late is allowed."

Mindy turned to glare at her and wanted to refute her, but she could not replace a viable reason for her to do so

Xyla did not care what the actress said at all. She started shooting her parts as soon as she came into the studio after putting on makeup..

The scene that they were shooting was a fight scene between Xyla and the male lead of the show. In this scene, Moses Miller would stab her with a dagger for Winnie Locke's sake.

Xyla had gotten into character ever since she got out of the dressing room. One of the staff members handed the male lead the prop for the scene, and the male lead took the dagger into his hand, preparing to start filming.

Following the director's instructions, both the actors started acting immediately. Moses Miller pointed the dagger at Lily LeBlanc, and the latter stared at him in disbelief. "Are you planning to kill me?" Moses Miller responded, "I disdain the idea of killing you, Lily LeBlanc. But you're the one who harmed Winnie."

Lily LeBlanc laughed, her eyes bloodshot." So what if it's me? What are you going to do? Are you going to kill me in order to achieve justice? Then come at me!"

Moses Miller yelled, "You're the one who's left me with no other choice."

He stabbed Lily LeBlanc with his dagger.

The dagger was a prop that would retract back into the handle. The male lead did not even try to pull his punches when he stabbed Lily LeBlanc, the character that Xyla played.
