Chapter 1886

Nollace lazily leaned against the wall. “You‘re back late.”

Colton was surprised but looked calm. “You‘re still here?”

He smiled. “I‘m staying over.”

Nollace‘s eyes focused on Colton‘s loosened tie and the bite marks that were peeking out of his collar,
and he smiled. “You seem to be moving quickly with my cousin.”

Colton frowned but didn‘t speak.

Nollace walked past him and stopped behind him but didn‘t look back. “Are you serious about her?”

“It‘s none of your business.” Colton walked to his room.

Nollace turned his head, looked while Colton disappeared into the shadows, and squinted because he
could see the truth.

The next day, at the shoot...

James took some electrolytes, rested for a night, and finally got some energy back.

He sat in the car and read the script while looking for someone in the crowd.

Susan Hotch brought a beautiful container with food over to him and smiled. “James, have you had
lunch?”

James paused and frowned. “You are?”



Susan awkwardly said, “You don‘t remember me? I‘m Susan Hotch. We‘ve worked together on a
show.”

He remembered her. “Oh, it‘s you. Can I help you?”

She lowered her head shyly and clutched the container. “I wanted to ask if you‘ve had lunch. If you
don‘t mind, 1 —”

“Daisie, over here!” James saw Daisie, and his eyes lit up. He cut Susan off while he stood up and
waved his arm.

Susan felt ashamed and unhappy that she was ignored.

Daisie walked toward him and said, “Oh, it looked like you‘ve recovered.”

“Yes, I almost died yesterday. I‘m glad that my body was tough enough. I gave the cafe a bad review
last night because I was so angry.”

James got angry upon recalling what happened last night. That drink wasn‘t made from coffee but
laxatives. It shamed him in front of the woman he was interested in.

He remembered something and looked around. “Where‘s your assistant?”

Daisie crossed her arms and glared at him. “Don‘t you even think about it.”

James had been very nice to Freyja since last night and had even bought coffee for her. Something
must be going

James flashed a wide smile. “We‘ve known each other for a long time already. I‘m not that kind of
person.”



“Ms. Vanderbill.” Susan, the ignored party, finally lost it. She tried to control her expression and smiled.
“I think your acting skills are way better than some of the seniors here. You‘re definitely the best
actress.”

She said that loudly to pretend to praise her, but she was just trying to compliment her while insulting
the seniors.

A few older actors had been acting for more than two decades and were quite good.

Even though Daisie had started as a child actor and had earned the Best Actress award, the seniors
still had the upper hand when it came to experience.

If Daisie agreed to these compliments, it would mean that she was offending the seniors with an
arrogant attitude.

The entertainment industry loved to twist things around. Lots of actors had been shunned because they
had said something wrong. Before Daisie could speak, James proudly said, “of course, you should
know who’s supporting her.”

He wanted to emphasize that she worked under Charlie.

Charlie had turned him into an A–lister, so it wouldn‘t be surprising if Daisie became the Best Actress
award winner. However, from Susan‘s perspective, James was saying that Daisie was his woman.
