Seated in the car’s backseat, Domenic cast a frosty gaze at Lindsey, who was visible through the window…


    Lindsey gently pushed the carved wooden door to the restaurant’s private dining room.


    Seated in the farthest corner, Sh’s slightly disrupted, pale blonde hair fell loosely on her shoulders.


    She wore a simple, muted yellow dress with long sleeves, and her oversized sunsses perched on her high nose bridge nearly concealed her petite face.


    She appeared entirely unlike the Sh Lindsey was familiar with.


    Lindsey pulled out the chair, cing it across from Sh before taking her seat.


    Sh kept her head lowered, and as soon as she spotted someone sitting opposite her, she briefly looked up before lowering her head again.


    Despite her doubts, Lindsey extended her hand and greeted, “Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ms.


    Sh Potter.


    I’m Lindsey Stewart, the executive agent at Vitality Entertainment.


    ”

    Sh’s slender, pale fingers grasped the ss on the table.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    She hesitantly raised it to her lips, taking a timid sip of water.


    “Hel… Hello.


    ”


    Lindsey’s bright eyes narrowed slightly.


    Sh appeared quite fearful before her, and now it was just the two of them.


    What could Sh be so afraid of?


    “I’m here today because the director Vincent Lopez has a proposition for you.


    He wants you to reappear as the female lead in his uing movie.


    How does that sound to you?”


    Her fingers trembled slightly as Sh gripped the ss.


    With oversized sunsses shielding her face, her expression remained hidden from view.


    “My husband… He has already said no, so.


    “That’s your husband’s suggestion.


    I’vee here alone today to get your perspective.


    ”


    “I…” Sh’s voice quivered slightly as she took a sip of water and softly replied, “My husband’s response is exactly the same as mine.


    ”


    Lindsey gazed intently at Sh across from her, her eyes continuously studying her.


    Suddenly, Lindsey’s attention was drawn to the sturdy leather handbag beside Sh on the table.


    Changing the topic, Lindsey remarked, “Your bag looks lovely and functional.


    Would you mind if I took a peek at it? I’ve been thinking of getting something simr.


    ”


    Sh’s face shifted slightly toward the bag, and after a brief pause, she nodded in consent.


    Lindsey extended her hand toward Sh’s bag and ran her fingers over its surface, exploring it inside and out.


    Suddenly, her fingers detected a slight bump on the bag’s lower back.


    She paused, her hand carefully investigating the firm object.


    Afterward, Lindsey extracted a notebook from her bag, scribbled a few words on a page, and ced it before Sh.


    All the while, Lindsey continued to talk casually with her, giving no hint of her true intentions.


    “Where did you get this bag? Can you rmend the shop to me?”


    Sh nced at the notebook Lindsey had given her.


    The message inside read, “A little bug has been ced in your bag.


    To ensure no one eavesdrops on our chat, should we switch to this method of talking?”


    Sh delicately lowered the oversized sunsses shielding her face with slender, pallid finger, revealing a pair of numbed, dim eyes.


    “It’s a gift from husband,” she uttered.
