- When Kathleen woke up, she found that it was already the next morning.
- She pinched between her eyebrows lightly.
- There was a bottle of sleeping pills on the bedside table.
- At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Charles’ voice. “Kate, are you awake? Can I go in?”
- “Come in.” Kathleen let out a yawn as she sat up on the bed.
- Charles pushed open the door and came into the room. “There’s an audition today.”
- “Okay.” Kathleen hugged the pillow while she was in a daze.
- Charles glanced at the bottle of sleeping pills on the bedside table. He asked anxiously, “Did you have a headache again?”
- “Yes. I couldn’t fall asleep last night, so I took two pills.” Kathleen nodded lazily.
- Charles clenched his fists. “You’ve already taken two?”
- “The doctor said that there wouldn’t be a problem for me to increase the dose. Don’t worry,” replied Kathleen in a lazy voice.
- “Is it because of Samuel? This is why I want him to stay away from you!” said Charles solemnly.
- Kathleen put on a faint smile. “Charles, it’s no use running away from him. The doctor has said that it’s a psychological issue. I’ll have to get over it.”
- Charles let out a sigh. “However, it’s him who has caused you the trauma.”
- “I’m the one who doesn’t have a strong mentality. It’s not his fault. Charles, you shouldn’t overthink it. Samuel and I are even now. Just think of him as a normal person,” said Kathleen calmly.
- “Okay, I promise you.” Charles nodded.
- “I’m awake now. Wait for me downstairs.” As Kathleen had just yawned, her eyes looked gentle and misty.
- “Okay.” Charles got up and left.
- Kathleen stretched her arms.
- She walked toward the window, wanting to draw the curtains and let the sunlight shine in.
- However, she immediately closed the curtains the moment she opened them.
- No! Samuel’s living on the opposite. I have to be aware of that pervert!
- Ding!
- Suddenly, her phone rang.
- She picked it up and found that it was Samuel who had messaged her.
- Samuel: “When will you be free to cook for me?”
- Kathleen was stunned as she had completely forgotten about this matter.
- Samuel: “Did you forget about it?”
- Kathleen felt guilty.
- Kathleen: “I have an audition to attend today. I’ll cook for you in the afternoon.”
- Samuel: “Do you need me to prepare any ingredients?”
- Kathleen: “It’s fine. I’ll bring them from home.”
- Samuel: “The access code is your birthday. If I’m not around, you can go in first.”
- Kathleen was at a loss for words.
- She decided not to reply to Samuel further and went to take a bath instead.
- Charles drove Kathleen to the casting location in his Bentley.
- They arrived at the Macari Group building.
- Kathleen looked at Charles and said, “Charles, are you sure this is the right location?”
- “Yes. Kathleen, he’s stuck on you like a piece of gum,” answered Charles as he unfastened his seatbelt.
- Kathleen was speechless.
- They got out of the car together.
- Dressing in a black suit with a dark grey color coat, Charles looked elegant and handsome.
- Kathleen was in a pale yellow cashmere coat and a pair of white wide-legged pants, looking adorable and charming.
- When she smiled, her eyes crinkled up, and her adorable teeth were shown. Looking particularly joyous, she was a likable lady at first glance.
- She was sweet and delicate.
- They entered the lobby.
- Tyson walked over and said, “Mr. Johnson, Ms. Johnson, I’ve waited for a long time for both of you.”
- Charles let out a light snort.
- Kathleen tugged at his sleeves.
- Charles looked at Tyson and explained, “I’m not targeting you. It’s your CEO who’s being inhumane.”
- Tyson kept quiet. He has a point. I can’t argue with that.
- “Please follow me,” said Tyson while flushing.
- Kathleen and Charles followed him.
- The three of them took the elevator and arrived at the top floor.
- Kathleen couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Hackney, where’s the audition?”
- “It’s in the CEO’s office,” answered Tyson.
- Kathleen pursed her lips.
- Charles’ voice was cold as he said quietly, “You see?”
- Isn’t Samuel such a jerk?
- Kathleen took a deep breath and said, “I owe it to him.”
- Just then, they arrived at the CEO’s office.
- Tyson opened the door and guided them in.
- There were three people sitting on the couch in the office.
- One of them was Samuel, while the other two people were Spencer, the director, and Remy, the screenwriter.
- All of them were looking at Kathleen.
- She wore very light makeup that day. It was evident that she had a good complexion.
- This movie required the actress to be barefaced in many scenes. Hence, her appearance and skin had to be in good condition.
- Kathleen didn’t undergo any plastic surgery, so her natural beauty was even more suitable for the role.
- “Please have a seat.” Samuel grinned as he looked at her.
- She looks so cute today.
- Kathleen ignored him. She sat down and greeted Remy and Spencer.
- Both of them thought that she looked shockingly beautiful at first glance.
- As for acting skills, they had confidence in her.
- After all, she had won the Academy Award for Best Actress.
- Even though the movie was a big production, it was hard to say who would be leeching off the popularity.
- “Ms. Johnson, if there isn’t any problem, should we start the audition?” asked Spencer.
- “Okay.” Kathleen nodded. Feeling confused, she asked, “Right here?”
- Spencer nodded and answered, “Yes.”
- Remy passed her the script. “Try acting this part.”
- Kathleen took over the script. After looking through it, she was surprised. “So I have to perform without any props?”
- Remy smiled. “Of course not. It’s too awkward for me and Cain to do it, so we have asked Samuel to help you.”
- Kathleen was momentarily stunned. “But this is a kissing scene. Even though the main actor is ill, there are quite a lot of kissing scenes.”
- Charles frowned.
- “This isn’t really an intimate scene. All you have to do is to kiss the main actor’s nose and lips. Ms. Johnson, you’re an actress.” Remy showed her a meaningful smile.
- Kathleen was speechless.
- Charles was about to lose his temper.
- Of course, he wasn’t angry at Remy or Spencer but at Samuel.
- However, Samuel only furrowed his brows slightly as he didn’t know about it.
- He didn’t say anything either.
- “Fine. Then, can I have you cooperate with me, Mr. Macari?” Kathleen stood up.
- “It’s my pleasure.” Samuel’s lips curled upward.
- “Lie down. Remember, you’re an unconscious man who has severe injuries,” said Kathleen coldly.
- “Okay.” Samuel lay down. He was 1.9 meters tall, so the couch wasn’t enough for his long and slender legs.
- He lay down with his eyes closed, looking like a painting.
- He was so elegant and reserved as if he was a deity.
- Kathleen sat beside him. She inhaled a deep breath as she held his hand.
- “Why are you still unconscious?” Kathleen’s voice was cold, carrying a sense of interrogation.
- In the scene, she was an assassin who had lost her memory. However, she was still slow in realizing her feelings.
- She fell in love with a scholar but was unaware of it.
- “People told me to kiss you if you’re still unconscious. I’ve never heard about this kind of healing method. Have you heard of it before?”
- The scholar didn’t reply.
- “I’ll give it a try, then.” Kathleen approached him.
- Samuel’s elegant face was impeccable. His nose was sharp, and his lips were sexy and tempting.
- Kathleen pursed her lips. Then, her cherry red lips fell gently on his well-defined nose.
- Samuel’s heart was fluttering. It’s ticklish!
- Immediately after, he felt something soft on his lips, followed by a hint of pain.
- Kathleen was biting him.
