Chapter 135
“I’m not into women.”
“Miss Pond, why are you so blunt? You’re hurting my feelings!”
Silvia shuddered, and goosebumps appeared on her b*dy.
“Isla, can you speak like a regular person?”
Isla cleared her throat, and her voice finally returned to normal.
“I’ve been filming for the past few days, but I just noticed that our supporting actress used the buzz around ‘A Thousand Years‘ to cyberbully you. Have you handled it?”
“Yeah, it’s all sorted now. Is that why you called?”
“I called because I care about you. Why are you so apathetic? I guess my sincerity has been wasted.”
Silvia was speechless. “Save your acting skills for the set.”
“Alright, I won’t bug you anymore. Let’s catch up over a meal when you’re free.”
“You’re swamped with filming. Let’s make a plan when you’re available.”
“How about tomorrow night? I’ll have my agent book a table!”
“Sounds good.”
“I’ve got another scene coming up, so I’ll let you go for now.”
After she hung up, Isla turned to her agent and said, “Scarlett, help me book a room with better privacy. I’ll have dinner with Miss Pond tomorrow night.”
Scarlett Patel nodded. “Sure.”
The following evening arrived quickly. Silvia called Neil and informed him that she would not be returning for dinner. Then, she drove to the restaurant of Isla’s choosing.
Once she entered the private room, someone hurried over. The person hugged her tightly and planted two k*sses on her cheek.
“Silvia, I’ve missed you so much!”
She did not know how to react.
She could never get used to Isla’s straightforward way of expressing her affection.
“Could you let go of me first?”
Isla planted another quick k*ss on Silvia’s cheek before she finally released her.
“It’s been so long since we saw each other. Don’t you miss me?”
“Not really.”
“Come on! You’re just trying to hurt my feelings. I’ll be mad at you!”
Silvia’s hand shook as she held the menu. Unable to bear it any longer, she said, “If you keep talking like that, I might kick you out.”
“Aww, fine. I’ll stop.”
Silvia felt a little helpless.
After they ordered their food, Isla began to talk about Snow.
“I wasn’t aware of the scandal earlier. Otherwise, I would’ve asked the director to not fire her. My character had many scenes with her, and I could’ve helped you with your revenge!”
Silvia chuckled when she saw how indignant Isla was.
“The issue’s been resolved, so you don’t have to worry about it. Besides, you’re a big movie star. If there’s news about you bullying newcomers, it could harm your image.”
Isla cocked an eyebrow dismay. “Even though I’m a movie star, I can still stand up for you.”
“Anyway, it’s all in the past, and you probably won’t cross paths with her anymore.”
“That’s not a certainty. I heard she’s already talking with an agent.”
Silvia had assumed that Snow was only trying out acting for fun. However, it appeared that she was serious about becoming a star.
“Alright, we’re finally hanging out, so let’s not talk about unpleasant stuff.”
“Yeah. In about a week, we’ll finish our scenes here, and who knows how long it’ll be before we see each other again.”
“Well, work comes first.”
Isla looked at Silvia seductively and said, “Hey, if I become your sugar baby, I could skip work and
hang out with you every day, you know! Why don’t you give it a thought? I’m quite capable too. You’ll be kicking yourself if you miss out on this offer!”
