Chapter 1357

Cornelia wasn’t a starstruck type. When it came to watching TV shows or movies, she preferred performances by

skilled actors. This actor named Kellan, she barely knew him.

The only reason she knew about Kellan was because of her friend, Abigail. Abigail had a knack for finding a new

crush with every TV show she followed. For a while, she wouldn’t stop yapping about how handsome this Kellan guy

was.

Sure, many people reckoned Kellan was a good–looking chap, but beauty was in the eye of the beholder, right?

Cornelia never quite fathomed what was so special about his looks. But she just fibbed, claiming to be his fan. If she

couldn’t even name one of his works now, she was bound to offend someone.

Cornelia wanted to whip out her phone and look it up, but Kellan’s eyes were on her. How was she supposed to do

that? Good thing she had been working alongside Marcus for so long, dealing with all sorts of situations. She knew

how to handle this one.

“I really enjoy your work. This Christmas, I even re–watched one of your TV shows. While watching, I was taking

notes. Can I bring them tomorrow, and could you autograph them for me?” Cornelia said.

Kellan, naturally chuffed by her praise, responded, “We’ll be working together soon, as colleagues. I can sign as

many autographs as you’d like.”

To make her words more believable, Cornelia quickly stretched out her arm, “Could you autograph my sleeve? I’ve

admired you for a long time. When I first saw you, I was too shy to speak.”

“I see.” Kellan finally got it.

He had been wondering why this woman didn’t cheer like the others when she saw him. Turns out she was just too

shy. He took out a pen, ready to sign on the front of Cornelia’s shirt. She quickly stepped back, “Could you sign on

my sleeve instead? This way, I can see your name whenever I turn my head.”

Kellan promptly signed her sleeve, “You’re working so hard while pregnant. Your husband really isn’t taking his

responsibilities seriously.”

Cornelia chuckled, “He definitely isn’t. That’s why I have to work so hard.”

Kellan nodded, “Yeah, you should rest now.”

Cornelia responded, “I’ll leave now.”

“Go ahead.” The director waved her off.

Watching Cornelia leave, Kellan’s eyes revealed a trace of lewdness and greed. “I wonder what a pregnant woman

tastes like.”

The director warned him, “She’s not someone you can mess with, rein it in.”

Kellan retorted, “Who can’t I mess with?”

Cornelia was just a rookie scriptwriter. For him to toy with her, it’d be as easy as squashing an ant.

After an exhausting day, Cornelia had planned to hit the sack as soon as she got back to her room. But because of

her little white lie earlier, she had to find and watch a TV show of Kellan’s. Not only that, she had to take notes and

write impressions.

Kellan’s acting was over the top and pretentious. It made her feel sick, but Cornelia gritted her teeth and soldiered

on.

Finally, everything was done. Night fell, and silence descended. Cornelia went to bed and almost immediately fell

asleep.

The next morning, Cornelia was awakened by the cold.

The winters in Harbor City were particularly harsh, and there was no central heating. If the hotel’s heater failed, it

was even colder inside than outside.

Cornelia called the front desk, asking for someone to check it out or to change her room. But the receptionist’s

reply left her surprised, “I’m sorry, all hotel rooms are fully booked. We can’t change your room. As for the heater

issue, it’s not because our equipment is faulty. Your production crew decided to cut costs. The heater’s been turned

off in all rooms, except those of the male and female leads and a few important actors.”

It was Cornelia’s first time on a production team, and she didn’t understand the specifics. She thought, if everyone

else could bear it, she should be able to cope too. So, she didn’t give it much thought.
