Chapter 27
Sue was even more shocked, wondering who Sheena really was. She had just proclaimed Sheena’s
downfall, only to be proven wrong immediately. Moreover, she had also checked Sheena’s resume.
How could an orphan from an orphanage possibly know Skye?
Feeling that things might not be as simple as they seemed, Sue discreetly stepped back and made a
phone call.
Meanwhile, the crowd’s admiration for Sheena only grew stronger.
Skye, however, was completely oblivious to their attention. He squatted beside Sheena, massaging her
legs and looking at her with starry eyes, smiling the entire time.
“Long time no see, Sheena. You’re getting more beautiful every day. A beautiful woman like you
shouldn’t be angry at a brat like me. It’ll make you ugly!”
Sheena playfully poked his forehead and leaned close to his ear, threatening in a hushed voice, “Cut it
out. From now on, behave well when you’re on the set. If you pull any more tricks, I’ll tell your grandpa
what you’ve done!”
“No, please! He’ll definitely punish me!” Skye pleaded, feeling a wave of pain all over his body.
Sheena smiled. “Apologize to the cleaning lady, then.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Skye’s expression changed, “You want me to apologize to the cleaning lady? What about my
reputation? I can’t bear the humiliation, Sheena…”
Sheena turned serious. “Are you still stuck in the past? We’re all about equality now! You lost your
temper and broke things. The cleaning lady didn’t do anything wrong, yet she had to clean up your
mess. Besides, she tried to advise you and got scolded in return. Shouldn’t you take responsibility for
that?”
Skye felt defeated. He turned his head and saw the cleaning lady tidying up the mess he had created,
feeling genuinely remorseful. Then, he reluctantly apologized to her and even offered some
compensation.
The cleaning lady was moved by his sincere apology, and Sheena instructed Skye’s agent to
compensate for the damaged props.
The rest of the afternoon, with Sheena on set, Skye was extremely focused and cooperative during the
filming. He completed each scene within one or two takes, leaving the director thrilled and thanking
Sheena for her influence.
Sheena brushed it off and said, “He’s just young and mischievous. Sometimes, all it takes is a good
scolding.”
The director could not help but admire Sheena even more.
As the workday came to an end, Skye held Sheena’s hand, pretending to be coquettish, and
apologized for his earlier actions by inviting her to dinner.
Unable to resist his persuasion, Sheena agreed. To avoid unwanted attention, they quietly went out for
dinner, with Skye in disguise.
They arrived at Douglas, Farlem’s most luxurious Michelin–starred restaurant.
Sheena was drawn to the dark–toned decor, preferring dimmer lighting to enjoy her food.
While ordering, Skye kept giving Sheena subtle glances and whispered, “Sheena, do you know that
man at the other table? He’s been looking at us several times since we got here.”
Sheena turned her head and noticed Elijah and Jennifer dining at the adjacent table.
Jennifer even put on a triumphant smile when she noticed Sheena.
Sheena calmly withdrew her gaze. “That’s the CEO of the Freeman Group.”
Skye nodded knowingly. “The woman next to him must be his fiancee, whom he’ll get engaged to next
month.”
Sheena was surprised to hear that, but she maintained a composed expression and focused on her
meal.
Skye, however, could not resist the gossip, “I heard he had a secret marriage that lasted three years
before divorcing. I wonder who that unlucky girl
