The Woman From Hell

"I just wanted to tell you that we should probably get ready to leave for the flight at five o’clock." Xander sounded somewhat wronged.

"Five o'clock?" Heidi had told me that we were going o n the trip today but I forgot to ask her the specific time.

I quickly got up. It would take half an hour to get to the airport from here. I might be late if I did not hurry.

"You should go and wash up first. I'll come and pick you up." Xander immediately hung up the phone after saying those words as though he was afraid of being scolded by me again.

My head was dizzy and I felt very uncomfortable. However, I still forced myself to get out of bed and wash up.

I finished packing in no time and went out. Xander was already waiting outside the door.

We drove all the way to the airport. Thankfully, we were not late. However, as I did not have enough sleep, I felt extremely uncomfortable and dry-heaved for a long time before I finally felt a little better.

"Where are the rest?" When we were about to get on board, I realized that there were only two of us.

"They will board the plane at night." "Are you out of your mind? Why did you wake me up s o early, then?" I was already in a bad mood because I did not have enough sleep and the current situation only made it worse.

"I was hoping to go over earlier to familiarize myself with the location and discuss shooting ideas with you. I know you haven't slept well, so you can rest once we board the plane later. You're an

adult now. I can't believe you're still so irritable in the morning." Xander dragged my luggage and pushed me forward.

I knew that he was only giving excuses. Discuss shooting ideas, my foot! That was the director's job. However, since I was already here and about to board the plane, there was no way I would just go home like this.

I pulled a long face without a word.

After boarding the plane, I asked the cabin crew for a blanket and continued to sleep. Xander was in high spirits. He put on a pair of headphones and began watching movies.

When the plane landed, Xander nudged me awake and urged. "Let's go. We can continue to sleep after we reach the hotel."

The way he said it sounded really strange. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Without thinking much about it, I followed Xander dazedly and walked out of the airport. The car he rented in advance was already waiting outside. It took us straight to the hotel by the beach.

The ocean view here was really beautiful, but the stifling hot weather made it hard for me to indulge in i 1.1 went straight to my room.

Xander set the luggage down and said to me, "I've ordered our meals and they'll be delivered in a while. Have some before you rest. Don’t starve yourself since you're pregnant. It won't be good for the baby's development.”

He was rarely serious and thoughtful. It was quite hard for me to get used to it.

After several hours of journey from morning to now, I was actually quite hungry. I nodded slightly. When we walked through the door, my initial plan was to head into another bedroom. However,

thinking that we were about to have our meal, I just followed Xander.

Although I was famished, I felt full after taking only a few bites.

When I was done eating, I took the medicine Mason prescribed me. Seeing that Xander was still eating, I dragged my luggage to another room to rest.

"Your luggage is heavy, just sleep here. I'll go to the other room after I'm done eating," Xander said, looking at me.

He had gotten a suite. I nodded unabashedly before pushing my luggage into the room and closing the door. I lay on the bed, thinking that I should probably shower after Xander left and go to bed after that.

However, I fell asleep in no time at all.

When I woke up again, I was covered with a blanket. I checked my wristwatch and it was already six o'clock in the evening. I did not expect myself to sleep this long.

It seemed that Mason was worthy of his name as a distinguished doctor. His prescription worked like a charm.

At this moment, there were sounds of faint coughing coming from the living room. I froze and got up to walk out. Xander was sitting on the floor with a script i n his hand, reading it seriously.

It seemed that he had not gotten any rest and had been reading his script here the whole time. I never knew how serious he was about his work before.

As he was too lost in reading the script, he did not notice me standing there even after a very long time. I opened my mouth and said softly, "You're still young, there’s no need to work so hard. Take care of your health."

He was startled when I suddenly spoke. After some time, he patted his chest and said, "You scared me to death. I was reading a script for a ghost movie.”

I rolled my eyes at him. Did he take me for a vengeful ghost when it was still during the day?

He took off his glasses and massaged his glabella." I've received quite a few scripts recently and want to pick a nice one as soon as possible so that I can return the rest, lest I delay other people's work."
