Chapter 15 Something Happens to Andrew

She looked up and was surprised to see a handsome face.

It was Howard Mullen, the second male lead character in the Goddess of My Adoration drama series.

Howard helped up Kisa like a gentleman and frowned at Ariella. “I remember you are playing the heroine’s mother, right? Only half an episode is scheduled for the afternoon, so why are you rushing your assistant like this?”

Howard used to be an obscure actor and had been paired with Ariella before, so Kisa still had an impression of him. It was just that she and Howard had never spoken. It really surprised her this time that Howard stood up for her.

Ariella squinted at Howard. “She is my assistant. It is my business how I discipline her. Besides, you landed on the role of the second male lead just by luck, so why are you a busy body here?”

Howard did not dwell on the issue with her but looked at Kisa with concern. “Are you okay?”

Kisa shook her head. “Thanks a lot just now.”

“No problem at all.” Howard smiled and left.

Murmurs rang out all around.

“That is strange. Isn’t Howard always fawning on those famous stars? Why is he treating this ugly woman so nice today?”

“Yeah, he is not into this ugly woman, is he?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Ariella rolled her eyes. “Unless he is blind.” She glared at Kisa. “Why are you still standing there? Go get my costume.”

“Okay, Ariella,” Kisa said, running out at once. As she went, she looked around nervously, afraid of running into Gilbert.

After all, the leading actress of the drama was Sharon, and she had heard rumors about Sharon and Gilbert for a long time. So Gilbert could visit Sharon on the set.

She just wondered who Andrew and Ada’s mother was and if Gilbert really loved Sara. ‘If Sara is a thing of the past, and the person whom Gilbert loves is the mother of his children, then what about Sharon? Who is the one he really loves?’ She simply shook her head at the thought of this. ‘Who that man loves has nothing to do with me!’

She spent the morning with anxiety, but Gilbert did not come over.

‘Of course, he has a hangover and is probably resting at home today. That is good. I just need to wait out this afternoon. When Ariella’s scene is finished, she won’t come back to the set, and I won’t run into Gilbert again.’

With this thought in mind, even the box lunch of bland salad tasted extra good to her. While she was eating, the director suddenly came running over in a hurry. “Since everyone is here, I have an announcement to make.”

Kisa continued her meal, as the director usually announced things that had little to do with her.

“In response to the instructions from the top, starting from today, the second female lead in this drama will be played by Ariella.”

Kisa coughed out a mouthful of chewed salad. She was petrified on the spot.

‘Ariella as the second female lead? Wouldn’t I have to come to the set almost every day? What should I do? Gilbert did not come to the set today, but as long as Sharon is still on the set, he will come to visit another day.

‘I really don’t want to see him at all. Even if he told me to take care of Andrew, it didn’t mean he would leave me alone. Who can guarantee one day he won’t go crazy, or after Andrew goes home, and he will capture and torture me again? It looks like no matter how hard I try to hide, I can’t hide from that man’s shadow.’

In contrast to Kisa’s panic reaction, Ariella was jumping with joy.

Just when the director was about to leave, Kisa subconsciously pulled the director aside.

“Why did you suddenly cast Ariella as the second female lead?”

The director was impatient. “This is the instruction of GK senior management. Ask the GK senior management if you have the guts.”

Kisa took two unsteady steps backward.

‘Isn’t the instruction from the top of GK also Gilbert’s instructions? Heck! I knew it; Gilbert isn’t going to leave me alone so easily. No matter how I try to run and hide, it is just a futile struggle.’

While she was disconcerted by the announcement, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lea who called.

“It’s not good, Kisa. Something’s happened to Andrew.”
