Yvonne remembered that Natalie had always been a foodie, even back when they were in college.
Natalie's mind went blank for a moment after hearing Yvonne's words.
Before- Before seemed like an eternity ago.
In the blink of an eye, both of them had graduated and stepped out into society, into the real world.
They were no longer the innocent and ignorant girls they once were.
Natalie fixed her gaze on Yvonne's face.
Yvonne frowned and touched her face. "Why are you looking atlike that? Is there something on my face?" The corners of Natalie's mouth curled into a faint smile. "I just realised how lucky I a to have you by my side, Yvonne. Although many years have passed and many things have happened between us, our friendship has not changed at all." Her words tugged at Yvonne's heartstrings.
Yvonne chuckled and said, "That's right, our friendship has never changed. I'm thankful for you too." They started to tear up as they looked into each other's eyes.
"Best friends forever!" Natalie nodded. "Yes, best friends forever!" Yvonne pointed at the plate in front of her. "Well, friendship can't fill your stomach. You still have to eat." Natalie took a huge bite of the fettuccine and mumbled, "Mmm, you're right." Yvonne smiled and began eating as well.
The two of them glanced at each other while they inhaled the noodles, grinning like two idiots. Suddenly, the phone rang.
Yvonne's smile disappeared when she looked at her phone. "Oh no, she's going to lectureagain." She picked up the phone, and just as she expected, Penney begged her to return to the filming site. "Yvonne, my dearest, why aren't you here yet? The entire crew is waiting for you. I want you back right now, ASAP. You don't want them to complain that you're a stuck-up b*tch, do you?" "I'll be right there." Yvonne hung up the phone in a hurry.
She had always been a responsible person. If it hadn't been for Natalie, she wouldn't have left in the middle of her work.
Now that Natalie was okay, she thought that it was tto return to the filming site.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe put down her cutlery.
Natalie glanced at Yvonne's plate and noticed that the food was only half-finished. "Why did you stop eating?" Yvonne wiped her mouth with a napkin and apologized. "I need to go back to the filming site. I'm sorry, I can't accompany you anymore." Natalie understood completely.
Yvonne was just starting on her road to fame, so she had a lot of things to attend to.
She nodded and urged, "I'm fine. Go ahead." Yvonne headed towards the door, then suddenly turned around to look at Natalie.
"What's wrong?" Natalie blinked.
Yvonne let out an awkward laugh and asked, "Natalie, how are things between you and Mr.... Mr. Whitlock?" Upon hearing his name, Natalie's smile froze in place.
After a pause, she replied rather bitterly, "There's nothing between us. We're from two completely different worlds anyway." Yvonne's gaze lowered.
She wanted to say something to persuade Natalie.
Although Natalie and Tobias had been through a lot, she still felt that Tobias was a good man.
It was especially so now that she was working in the entertainment industry. She'd seen too many cases of rich and powerful men fooling around with all sorts of women. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was hard to cacross a man like Tobias. He was almost like a treasure.
However, she did not have tto talk to Natalie now. She could only briefly tell her, "Even if you aren't from the sworlds, you were once together, right?" Natalie's smile beceven more bitter. "Exactly! Even the heavens don't think we're meant to be, that's why we've had to go through so much rubbish." Yvonne's breath hitched.
"Natalie, since when were you so superstitious?" Natalie narrowed her eyes at Yvonne. "I wasn't before, but now I am. Our lives are controlled by fate, and we can't change anything." "Natalie, please stop being so narrow-minded." "I rn not." Natalie's eyes fell "Don't you have something urgent to tend to? Why aren't you leaving yet?" Yvonne let out a small sigh.
"I'll get going, then. I'll talk to you next time." "Sure." Natalie's mood suddenly turned sour because of what Yvonne had said.
Finally, Yvonne arrived at the filming site.
This time, she was filming a television series, and she was playing the role of a woman with a split personality.
One of the woman's personalities was a strong and tenacious woman, just like Yvonne herself.
At the stime, the other personality was the timid and gentle type.
Yvonne now had to shoot a scene as the softer character.
However, despite countless retakes, she was still unable to fully immerse herself in the character.
The director was at a loss for words.
If this were a normal case, he would've broken out in a rage by now. However, he'd heard rumours of Yvonne and Jenkins, so he held back his temper.
In the end, he decided to pause the shooting and asked Yvonne to take a short break.
While everyone took a break from the shooting, the director showed Yvonne a movie.
It was a parody of the Phantom of The Opera, and the actress was playing the lead female role, Christine.
"This is an example of a great actress. She successfully brought the character's timid and soft personality to life. Maybe you can use this as reference," the director said to Yvonne.
At first, Yvonne was reluctant to take a parody film actress's performance seriously.
She only agreed to watch the movie out of respect for the director. But soon, she found herself engrossed in it.
The director was right. The actress's performance was indeed commendable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer eyes conveyed unspeakable emotions, and her gestures brought out the soul of the character.
With the iPad in hand, Yvonne immediately ran up to Penney in amazement. "Look, "Look, Penney, thism actress's performance is truly outstanding. How can I not know her? She's amazing." Penney's face blanched slightly when she saw who the actress was. She pointed to the screen and asked, "You really SeaR*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
don't know her?" Yvonne was taken aback.
"No, I don't."
Penney looked around and lowered her voice. "Her nis SheirlyXanthe. She was only in the entertainment industry for months and was infamously known as Jenkins's ex. Jenkins never went public with their relationship, though. Also, rumour had it that among all of Jenkins' lovers, he loved her to the bones." Yvonne's breath hitched.
Jenkins' ex? A sense of discomfort suddenly rose in the pit of her stomach.
She stared at the actress on the screen intently.
Sheirly was a tiny, slender woman with smooth, fair skin, and her delicate facial features made her look extra innocent.
"Jenkins' ex?" Yvonne choked out. "Where is she now?" "Jenkins sent her to a psychiatric hospital in the capital city," Penney's voice was so low that Yvonne could barely hear her. Yvonne shuddered.
She suddenly recalled what Rosalin had told her at the airport last time.
She had warned her to be careful, and she also mentioned that Jenkins er m had played around with his mast recent ex so much that she'd gone mad and had to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Was Rosalin talking about Sheirly? "Why didn't you tellabout her earlier?" Yvonne stared at Penney in disbelief.
"I thought you knew about her already!" Almost everyone in the entertainment industry knew about this. Penney'd thought that since Yvonne chose to be with Jenkins, she must have known everything about him already, and she would not have missed something this big.
