"To prevent being harassed, my phone has been out of use recently." Victory smiled at her politely and said, "I'm sorry for that."
"Are you finally okay?" Elliana scoffed indignantly and said, "Karson Xie, that jerk, is envious of you! How could he frame you in such a despicable way? Bold of him to assume he could sink your career down with him!"
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." Victor shook his head and added, "Thank you for your concern."
"You're welcome." Elliana pouted and approached him closer.
Victor dodged her expressionlessly. "Elliana, I've told you clearly that I don't like you. We two are just good acting partners. Nothing more."
Elliana's face darkened. She did not expect that Victor would be so straightforward and reject her right away. After regaining her composure, she said, "Maybe we can try. I'm confident that you will fall in love with me."
"Well," said Victor while touching his nose, "I already have a girlfriend. You will definitely meet someone better than me."
"You have a girlfriend? I don't believe it!" Elliana's mouth hung open in surprise then she quickly asked, "Who is she? Ena?"
"No comment." Victor responded with a smile and continued, "I'm going to the dressing room now. Let's focus on the shooting. See you later."
Elliana stood still in a daze. Her heart sank.
At noon, Mary came to the set with two lunchboxes.
"Ena asked me to bring you the lunch of love." Mary shrugged.
Victor took it with a smile and asked, "How is Ena doing at home?"
"She's recovering well, but it's still a little inconvenie
ng, aren't you?" Jane hurriedly shook her hand and said, "It's not that I don't believe in him. It's just that as time goes by, if you become out-of-date and aged, men will have aesthetic fatigue and inevitably flirt with other women."
"Yes, that's always the case," Selah chimed in confidently while stroking her round belly. "If I weren't pregnant, I would have taken a script. If I stayed at home all day long, I would feel insecure."
Stunned, Ena asked with concern, "Why would you feel insecure?"
"Because I don't know what my husband is doing outside!" Holding Ena's hand, Selah added, "Don't you feel that way? Besides, you don't have anything to do everyday. When the day comes that he doesn't talk to you, you'll lose your mind!"
"Women should also have their own careers. Only by maintaining their own charm can they win men's hearts!" Mary clenched her fist and continued, "Victor is shining brightly. Don't you want to stand next to him, so strong and powerful?"
When Ena returned home that night, she was surprised to see that Victor had come back early, but he had already fallen asleep on the bed.
She felt disappointed. Suddenly, she recalled the girls' talk during the day.
'I can't continue being like this. What they said was reasonable. I just cannot sit still and wait for misfortune to come. I'm young and talented. What's more, my career has just begun. I have to work hard for myself as well. I have to win as the best actress to match Victor!'
At the thought of this, Ena nodded firmly. 'Okay then, I'll find a new script and start working again!'
