“Be careful not to upset her when she visits our home,” Allan warned Blake.

Blake had mixed feelings. “Alright.”

She was his cousin. Things were about to get interesting.

When Pearl thought about this annoying cousin of hers, she started feeling angry.

Hanzel noticed her irritation and, while secretly pleased, pretended to be upset as well. “That guy’s got

a terrible temper. We won’t see him anymore.”

Pearl dismissed the matter. “Never mind that. By the way, it’s your first day back at work. Have you

called the director?”

Hanzel frowned. “Yes. They asked me to be on the set early this morning. It’s really annoying.”

“Alright, let’s head over there,” Pearl urged, pushing him gently because she sensed his reluctance.

“Fine.”

They made their way to the filming set, and it was Pearl’s first time visiting one. While she had

interacted with artists and managers, she had never been to an actual set.

When they got there, they found that filming was already in progress.

The director’s face lit up when he saw Hanzel. “You’re finally here! I couldn’t have filmed this without

you. I was afraid you’d drop out of the project.”

“1

“No way, director.” Hanzel had to say something nice.

The director then turned his attention to Pearl and seemed curious. “Who’s this? She looks familiar…”

“She’s my new manager, Pearl Leighton.”

Being a director, he kept up with the news and was ‘envious’ of Pearl’s impressive capabilities. He

couldn’t help but be charmed by her beauty.

“Miss Pearl,” he said with a smile as he extended his hand.

Pearl didn’t feel like shaking his hand, but because she was representing Hanzel now, she took it.

The director discreetly caressed her hand when no one was looking, causing Pearl to quickly withdraw

it in disgust.

“I hope we can work well together,” the director said, his tone flirtatious as he admired her cold and

beautiful demeanor. Taming a woman like her would be an exciting challenge.

Uncomfortable with the director’s gaze, Pearl made up an excuse to distance herself from him.

Meanwhile, Hanzel started filming.

Pearl sat on a rock beside a pond, lost in thought, when someone approached her. She didn’t see who

it was, but the next thing she knew, they pushed her into the water!

Water splashed everywhere, drawing the attention of those nearby. People shouted that someone had

fallen into the water, bringing the filming to a halt.

Hanzel ran over. He saw Pearl resting there, but when he turned around, she had disappeared. It

seemed she was the one who had fallen into the water.

Pearl struggled in the water. Although she wasn’t afraid of it and could swim, her leg cramped, causing

intense pain. She couldn’t exert force and inadvertently swallowed some pond water.

As she began to sink, someone grabbed her and pulled her out of the water.

Hanzel rescued her, quickly removing his clothes to wrap her up as she was completely soaked.

The director came over. “Go rest in the trailer and take a shower. Don’t catch a cold.”
