Chapter 1356
This feeling of powerlessness and helplessness, it was like ten thousand needles stabbing deep into Corneliaâs heart. It was panfu, but numbed to the point where she couldnât even feel t
âNelly, what are you staring at?â Hannah, who had been napping for three hours of their journey, finally woke up
Hannah had been awake for a while now, but Cornelia hadnât noticed, her eyes still glued to the window
Following Corneliaâs gaze Hannah couldnât find anything interesting
âAre you awake?â Cornelia turned her head
âYep. What are you looking at? Why donât you take a rest?â Hannah responded
Not wanting her mood to rub off on Hannah, Cornelia made up a quick excuse, itâs my first time joining a production team as a
nervousâ
Hannah reached out and took Corneliaâs hand, Tm here, Iâll support you. You have nothing to be afraid of
Cornelia smiled. âSpeaking of, what did Steven want with you?â
Hannah replied, âHe came to play chess with my dad, Jeoâ
âYou think Iâd buy that?â Cornelia retorted.
crecounter, Iâm a bit
Hannah sighed, âHe really did just play a few rounds of chess with Jeo and left. I thought his girlfriend wasnât satisfying him in bed and he needed my help. I was ready to deal with this annoying man, but he left right after finishing the chess game, not a word to me.â
Cornelia sighed. âThey say a womanâs thoughts are impossible to fathom, but I think mens hearts are even more puzzing, always doing things that make
no senseâ
âTotally, I find menâs hearts even harder to figure out, impossible to guess. The funniest part is, I actually thought Steven looked at me with love and reluctance this time. I must have had my head slammed in the door to have such a stupid thought.â Hannah said
Cornelia said, âNo matter what feelings he has for you, donât give your heart to him too easily. As long as we protect our hearts, no one can hurt us.â
Hannah nodded, âYeah. Nelly, why donât you take a break?â
âAlrightâ Cornelia pressed the seat control and laid back comfortably. Even though she still couldnât sleep, her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts
Cornelia lifted her hand, gently placing it on her round belly, feeling the lively little life inside. Her mood slowly calmed down
Even if the whole world was decerving her, she still had her baby.
Her own little Hope..
Several hours later, Cornelia and Hannah arrived at Harbor City.
Hannahâs team had been waiting at the train station. Cornelia followed Hannah onto a luxury business car which took them directly to the hotel arranged by the production team.
Hannahâs schedule was tight, so the shooting process was very rushed
Cornelia had just checked in and hadnât even had a chance to sit and rest when she received a message asking everyone to hurry to the conference room for a script readâthrough
The director, producer, lead actress, supporting actors, and other department heads were all present.
Under the directorâs guidance, everyone went through the plot together, the actors also analyzed their roles. When everything was over, night had fallen and the leading man finally arrived fashionably late
Everyone else could clock out, but Cornelia and the director had to stay and go through his role with him. The male lead, Kellan, was known in the industry for his stunning looks. His appearance was indeed pleasing, but compared to the other men Cornelia knew, there was still some gap
By the time the script readâthrough ended, it was late at night. Exhausted from not sleeping the previous night, Cornelia quickly packed up her notebook, ready to return to her room, and rest
Kellan suddenly stopped her, âMs. Stewart, do you not like me?â His question was provocative
Cornelia knew exactly what he meant, âKellan, why would you think that? Iâm a fan of yours, I really like your styles and your performancesâ
âOh, which of my shows do you like?â Kellan asked
