The past couple of years had been incredibly hectic for everyone.
Charles often found his schedule flipped upside down with night shoots, while Skylar was equally consumed with her work.
Their opportunities to meet in person were rare, often limited to brief moments at home. Even their family group chat only saw occasional messages exchanged.
Phone calls were even rarer between them, so infrequent they could practically be counted on one hand.
Skylar started the call by saying she missed him and then asked how he had been lately. After catching up, she switched the conversation to Maxine.
"You've been watching web series too? Her series is popular, and she's undeniably talented. She has a lot of potential and a unique spark for someone her age.
"But something's been off these past few days—she hasn't been herself during filming. She keeps forgetting her lines and has been scolded by the director a few times. Maybe there's trouble at home or something."
Charles didn’t think too much about it, casually sharing his observations. However, Skylar listened carefully, her expression growing serious. If Maxine's behavior was different from before, it could very well be because of a sudden rebirth.
"Charles, can I come visit the set?" Skylar asked.
Charles was surprised. "Are you a fan of Maxine now?"
He couldn't recall Skylar ever showing much interest in celebrities. She once praised Austin's acting and claimed she admired him too. But she had never gone this far for anyone in the industry before. Now, she even wanted to visit the set just to see a young actress.
That was something new.
"I just miss you," Skylar said lightly.
Charles chuckled knowingly. "Alright, alright, I'll take that. We've got a night shoot coming up, so I'll let the crew know. You can drop by directly.
No matter how challenging the scenes the director assigned her, she absorbed them quickly and performed with exceptional finesse.
She often outshone the lead actress in this project. It was undeniable that some people were born for the spotlight, possessing an innate talent for acting that made their performances unforgettable.
Charles didn't get many scenes opposite Maxine, but in the few they had recently shared, he noticed her creativity and ability to fully immerse herself in her role. She had a way of pushing him deeper into the performance, making every exchange more engaging.
Having acted for years, Charles had worked with all kinds of co-stars. But finding someone who could genuinely challenge and inspire him on set was a rare joy, one that reminded him of why he loved his craft.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, Maxine wiped her tears hastily and turned to look at him. Their eyes met.
Caught off guard, Maxine bit her lip and blushed furiously. It seemed she hadn't expected anyone to witness her vulnerable moment.

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
