"Don't sweat it, Grandpa. I'm all good. Emily's bunking with me! I totally trust Sullivan's character, so no worries!"
The aloof movie star was actually willing to teach her to play a role she's not good at. That's something.
Stephanie just wanted to grab this opportunity and learned as much as she can!
Emmert also thought it made sense, and with Emily around, it's not like she and Sullivan were alone together.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, Stephanie dialled Sebastian Ingram as usual.
Sebastian, used to her daily calls, responded nonchalantly on the other end, "Done with work for the day?"
"Yep, have you had dinner yet?"
"Just did."
"Miss me yet?"
"Not really."
"You don't miss me at all!"
"Been busy with work. Missing you would slow things down."
"Okay, have you been busy lately?"
"Hmm, gotta head overseas first thing in the morning."
"For how long?"
"A week at the shortest, half a month at most."
"That's so long. I won't see you when I go home this weekend."
"Good girl. I'll be back ASAP."
"When you get back, come see me on set!"
"Sure."
"Sebastian, Steph talks in her sleep. She calls your name!" Emily chimed in.
Sebastian chuckled, "She woke you up with her sleep-talking?"
"Yes! It's really scary. Steph grinds her teeth in her sleep."
"I do not! Emily, stop making stuff up."
"You do, Steph! Sebastian, I'm not lying!"
Sebastian laughed, "I believe you."
"Fine, you guys are ganging up on me now!"
"Wait till I get my hands on you!"
"Bad Steph. Sebastian, Steph has been getting close to other men on set. she doesn't miss you at all."
"You're still talking nonsense! I'm going to smack your butt."
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, "Who's she getting along with?"
"Sullivan! Sullivan! Steph's been fawning over him like a puppy!"
"Emily cut the crap! I'm not!"
"Sebastian, you better watch out. Your rival's appeared! Sullivan is Steph's idol. the way Steph looks at him, she's practically ready to stick to him!"
Sullivan?
Sebastian didn't really know much about other male and female celebrities in the entertainment industry and rarely paid attention to them.
But Sullivan, he knew.
Because he's seen his movies, they're all classics.
Indeed, he's really good-looking, a very charming man.
Even he, as a man, thought Sullivan was top-notch. And Stephanie was his fan.
