Yvonne nodded halfheartedly.
Indeed, she knew about Sheirly. Rosalin had already told her about it last time.
However, she did not feel as astounded at that time.
She glanced at the screen again.
Sheirly's character, Christine, was crying as she knelt beside Raoul. She was literally bawling her eyes out, and the way she cried even made Yvonne pity her.
She had to admit that she had never seen a woman who looked so beautiful and convincing the stime, even when crying.
Sheirly's acting had truly moved Yvonne, and it tugged at her heartstrings.
"She doesn't look like Jenkins' type, though," Yvonne said, trying to keep her tone casual.
She had heard about the women who were rumored to be in a relationship with Jenkins. They were all the sexy, bombshell type.
Sheirly was definitely not a bombshell. She was an angel.
Penney whispered in Yvonne's ear, "She is truly one of a kind in the industry. She's the biggest softie I've ever seen." Yvonne raised an eyebrow.
Noticing the doubtful look on Yvonne's face, Penney quickly explained, "No, it's not a derogatory term. She is literally a softie. I've met her once. She was as innocent as high school girl. Jenkins took a fancy to her when they first met about six months after her debut. After that, he didn't let her stay in the entertainment industry any longer. Shortly after, rumors of her being admitted into a psychiatric hospital started spreading." Yvonne's face paled a little.
"Yvonne, don't think too much about it. You won't end up like her. She's too weak. She could never handle a man like Jenkins. But you're different." "I can't handle Jenkins either," Yvonne interrupted Penney.
Penney gave an awkward laugh. "You know I don't mean that. I'm saying that your marriage with Jenkins is just business - only for each of your own benefits. Sheirly was too foolish to fall in love with Jenkins, so she ended up in such a miserable state." "Oh," Yvonne said weakly. "Alright, let's stop talking about this." After eating, Natalie cleaned up the plates and utensils in the kitchen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was bored.
And she didn't know what to do.
By right, she should have found a new job by now. She was an adult, and she needed to work to support herself. However, she couldn't find the energy to look for one at the moment.
After thinking about it, she decided to set aside the plan of finding a job for a while.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was Remington.
She picked up the phone.
"Natalie, have you recovered from your hangover?" His voice was hoarse and lazy, as if he had just woken up. "Yeah. How about you?" "Of course. Why else would I be calling you?" Natalie smiled and said, "We drank too much yesterday." They had a drinking competition against each other the night before, and she downed bottle after bottle of liquor to win him.
"Where were you when you woke up?" Remington suddenly asked.
Natalie was baffled.
"I was at home, in my apartment, of course." "Which part of your apartment?" Natalie was even more confused. "The bedroom?" "On your bed?" "Yeah." Remington snorted and hissed, "That Simpson guy just threwonto the sofa. My entire body was aching when I woke up." Natalie burst into a fit of giggles.
"What kind of person is that!" Remington cursed, rolling his eyes.
Natalie stopped laughing and teased, "Don't you know what kind of friend Benjamin is to you? Have you forgotten about the rumours about you and Benjamin in the hospital?" Remington had no words to refute that.
He then muttered, "You should know better just how true that rumour is." Natalie's eyelids fluttered.
Of course, she knew.
How could Benjamin ever be interested - Besides, Natalie could guess that he probably had a crush on Yvonne.
But she didn't have the tto talk to Yvonne about this properly.
"What are you thinking about?" Remington asked when Natalie didn't say anything.
Natalie snapped back to reality and replied, "Nothing." "What are you doing?" "Watching television." "Do you want to cout for lunch with me?" Natalie refused after considering it for a moment.
She thought it would be better if they kept sdistance between them as friends. Besides, she was afraid that he would repeat the things that he had done to her in the car before. Although she had already forgiven him for that, she still believed that it was better to not get too attached.

She turned down his offer, and Remington didn't probe further.
"Alright, you have a good rest then." "You too. You no longer have a fever, right?" "Yeah." "Goodbye, then." "Alright, bye." Oddly, Remington did not hang up the phone even after he had said goodbye. In the end, Natalie ended the call herself.
Natalie didn't have the mood to cook lunch. She decided to go downstairs to eat instead.
To her surprise, she ran into someone as she headed down the stairs.
Natalie was too preoccupied with her thoughts, so she did not pay attention when When she walked om Meanwhile, the other person was busy looking down at their phone, so they ran into each other. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry." The two of them shouted in unison, then stared at each other's faces in astonishment when they lifted their heads to look at each other.
Their eyes met, and Natalie gaped at the man in front of her.
"Natalie!" The man cried in excitement.
"Sebastian!" Natalie's eyes suddenly lit up.
The two of them immediately embraced each other tightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie was ecstatic to see Sebastian.
She really didn't expect to see him here, at her apartment of all places.
Sebastian told Natalie that he was visiting his
aunt, and they were both surprised to find that his aunt happened to be staying in the unit just below m Natalie's His aunt was also the swoman that Yvonne had asked to check on Natalie last time. Natalie could not believe that things would be so coincidental. "We are fated to meet each other, Sebastian. I was just going downstairs for lunch. Who would've known that I would've run into you?" Natalie said with a smile.
"Why don't we go eat at my aunt's place? I am actually going there for lunch." Sebastian immediately suggested.
Natalie hesitated.
"My aunt loves it when people cover her place. She will definitely welcyou with open arms." Sebastian reassured her.
Natalie had been best friends with Sebastian since university. She thought that there was no need to act so cautious when it comes to his family.
She nodded and followed him to his aunt's apartment downstairs.
When Sebastian's aunt opened the door and saw a girl standing next to Sebastian, she immediately got excited. "Hey, Sebastian! You finally brought a girlfriend back forto meet." Sebastian's face instantly turned red.
Natalie's eyes widened, baffled.
"Auntie, I'm only his friend." She laughed dryly.
Sebastian's aunt stared at her for a moment before realizing who she was. "Aren't you the girl who lives upstairs?" "Yes, it's me, Auntie. You went to check onlast time." Sebastian's aunt scratched her head in embarrassment.
She was so excited that she didn't even recognize that the girl standing in front of her was the sgirl who lived upstairs.
Sebastian's aunt had already finished cooking. She'd just been waiting for Sebastian to arrive so that they could dig in.
She got to know about Natalie and Sebastian's relationship as they ate and talked, which led t "dghs" and to a lot of "gons" and "aahs", exclaiming nonstop how much of a coincidence it was for them to meet each other.
