Olivia was still wary. What if this walk-on is really close to Taylor? However, she wasn’t willing to back down either.
Seeing that the two ‘cousins’ of Taylor were in a standoff, the director hurriedly came forward to help resolve the dispute. “Alright, both of you are a family, so please don’t be hostile to each other. Olivia, please get ready for the next scene.”
It was until then that Olivia mumbled and left the place. Watching Olivia leave, Nicole was still reeling from shock. Sophia consoled her by telling her, “Just do your best to act in the drama and don’t be influenced by other people. If you become famous thanks to this drama, your future will be bright.”
Nicole nodded. She had been getting ready for years for such a chance. Now that she had gotten the chance, she would never let it slip through her fingers. Hesitantly, she asked, “Are you really Taylor’s cousin?”
Nicole didn’t believe her totally, but Olivia indeed stopped bothering them. It wasn’t certain whether it was because the director had tried to mediate the conflict, or Olivia was wary of Sophia’s identity. After Nicole was done with her scene in the afternoon, Sophia went to another filming site, where Michael and other staff members were busy shooting their drama.
Finding Hale, Sophia said, “Help me invest 10 million in the production team using my name. The only condition is that they can’t get anyone to replace Nicole as the female lead.”
Despite not knowing what happened to Sophia, Hale still nodded in agreement. In fact, she didn’t need to invest any money, because the production team was under the protection of Michael and Harry, therefore they had the final say in everything. Moreover, no one would dare replace Nicole with anyone else because she was the favorite actress of Sophia.
When the sky was about to turn dark, the cooks had prepared the dishes. However, no one came to have dinner because they were still busy shooting the drama, except for Sophia, who was devouring the food. When Michael was done with his scene and ready to have dinner, he saw Sophia sitting in the corner alone and watching a movie on her tablet without chatting with anymore.
Although he knew that Sophia was still angry, he didn’t go over to coax her because there were too many people around. While he was having dinner, someone approached him and called out in a sweet voice, “Taylor!”
Hearing that voice, Michael frowned and turned around, whereupon he saw Olivia approaching him in a delighted manner. If the director never told him that his cousin was one of the actresses, he wouldn’t have known that he had such a cousin. It was because the director was a fan of Elizabeth that he gave a supporting role to Elizabeth’s niece.
Since the time he started to form memories as a child, Michael had never seen Elizabeth’s family members before because she never talked about her family. Therefore, he knew nothing about his mother’s family.
“Taylor!”
Under the jealous gazes of others, Olivia walked over in a joyful manner, held Michael’s arm and shook it. “Taylor, why don’t we have supper together after work?”
Without any emotion, Michael replied, “I have a scene to shoot tonight.”
On the other side, Sophia eavesdropped on their conversation and noted their sweet interaction. She’s really Michael’s cousin! Pfft, Michael and his cousin. Such a made-in-heaven couple! At that instant, Sophia was extremely jealous.
Totally different from her arrogant self moments ago, Olivia was now trying to get closer to Michael by speaking in a coquettish tone.
Pfft, if her acting skill was as good as her ability to act coquettishly, Nicole wouldn’t have been held back by her this morning.
Catching a glimpse of Sophia, who was facing away from them, Olivia thought of something and questioned, “Is she your cousin as well?”
After taking a bath for a long time, she put on a towel and a pair of red slippers. Then, she walked out of the misty bathroom and stepped on something. Lowering her head, she realized that it was a flower petal. Raising her head, she saw that the red carpet in the room was covered with all sorts of flower petals, and the lights had dimmed. Michael had formed a love sign with roses on the floor. What the…
Facing away from Sophia, Michael was picking the petals from the flowers and scattering them on the table and the bed. At that instant, the room was filled with the aroma of flowers.
“Oh, chica. You’re done with the bath,” he said as he picked a rose and smelled it.
Sophia walked over and stood in the middle of the love sign that was formed using roses. “What are you doing?”
Then, Michael played romantic music, which made the atmosphere in the room intimate. “It’s our second anniversary. I’m sorry that I didn’t have time in the day. Please make do with it.”
Second anniversary… Sophia suddenly recalled the tweet Michael posted some time ago. Today is our second year of marriage.
On the same day two years ago, she was still a thin lady who was brought to Michael by Daniel.
Two years have passed just like this…
