SWNOVELS Chapter 129
Chapter: 129
Suddenly, a water bottle fell onto the floor and the clunk awoke Ariana with a start. She rubbed her
eyes and sat up straight.
When she realized what happened, she bent down, picked up the kettle, and handed it to Betsy Patton,
who was sitting by the left. ©
Betsy was the assistant that the company had just assigned to work for Sarah. She was a lovely and
sweet girl. Ariana decided to take her with them for the shoot. It wouldn’t do Betsy any harm to learn
the ropes of the job early enough. @
Sarah finally saw the opportunity to ask Ariana the questions that had been bugging her mind since
they met this morning…
“When did the crew inform you to make the trip earlier than previously scheduled? Why didn’t I know
anything about it?”
Ariana flashed an awkward smile. “The shooting begins in a few days. You haven’t been on a show for
a long time. It’s not a bad idea for you to get familiar with the set ahead of time.”
Sarah said nothing to that, but she still had doubts. Shows like this were usually recorded in studios.
What did she have to get used to when they were going to be indoors most of the time? @
The plane finally took off. Ariana put on a sleeping eye mask, intending to take a nap. She also wanted
to clear her head. Her mind was a mess now.
Since the kiss yesterday, she hadn’t been herself. She couldn’t even sleep well last night because she
kept having dreams about Theodore.
Ariana knew that she needed to put a stop to these thoughts. She feared that she would fall for him if
care wasn’t taken.
Theodore had clearly warned her against falling in love with him. It would be disastrous if she had an
unrequited love for someone who only put up with her.
Her sour experience with Jasper hadn’t brought her any good. She had been rendered homeless, and
she wasn’t able to say goodbye to her father before he passed. That betrayer even had a hand in her
father’s death. Ariana’s heart was still yet to heal. She was wary of men, thanks to Jasper’s betrayal. @
She figured that she had to shut off her heart and nip whatever she was feeling for Theodore in the
bud.
Falling for that man was a no-go area.
Besides…
Ariana touched her belly subconsciously. She had a time bomb that could explode at any time. She
hadn’t decided on what to do about the baby. If she fell for the baby’s father now, that would be another
problem.
Ariana hoped this temporary separation would help her have her head screwed on straight.
She wanted to be able to face Theodore without thinking about the kiss or having any sensual thoughts
the next time they met.
Sarah’s phone started buzzing non-stop as soon as she got off the plane. She unlocked her phone and
found that the company’s group chat was in an uproar. It was alleged that Ariana was sleeping with
Adrian just to gain favors from him.
Ariana immediately knew that Jasper was behind this, but she couldn’t care less. She looked forward to
seeing what the outcome of the rumor would be. “A win is a win! Once this rumor goes round, many
new signees would want to work with me. It would be great to have an agent who is willing to sacrifice
so much for their careers.”
“Girl, nothing can ruffle you, huh?” mused Sarah, pinching Ariana’s cheek.
The two of them laughed out loud, not caring about the rumor making rounds.
Preparing for the shooting of the show was just an excuse Ariana made up. The crew actually didn’t
send any word to them. In the following days, all three women had a swell time in Ivebridge.
They didn’t go to the studio until it was the last day of reporting.
