Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 36

Other than the first day, Theodore did not show up on set for the rest of the week.

Eventually, Everleigh believed that it was a coincidence that she bumped into him. She was relieved but also a little disappointed. Unfortunately, she had no time to ponder about it. Contrary to her expectations, her role as a medical expert was not easy.

Selena was determined to make everything difficult for her. If Selena were free, she would mock Everleigh. Moreover, Selena was the female lead for the drama series. Hence everyone pandered to her. Even if she did not trouble Everleigh, all the crew stayed away from Everleigh.

No matter what, being boycotted was very unpleasant.

After lunch, Everleigh headed to the bathroom to dispose of the food container. She was at the door when she spotted Selena washing her hands at the sink. Everleigh frowned but still went in.

After discarding the food container into the bin, she strode to the sink to wash her hands.

Selena glanced at Everleigh from the corner of her eyes and snorted, "You're pretty tough. It's been a week, and everyone ignored you. How are you even still here?"

"I'm not here to make friends. I'm here for work, so it doesn't matter if they ignore me." Everleigh lathered her hands with soap carefully. She glanced at Selena and reminded the latter, "Medical staffs must strictly follow the seven steps of handwashing. Audiences nowadays pay attention to these details."

Selena glanced at her hands, instinctively. There was still foam on the back of her hands because she was scrubbing nonchalantly. She retorted irritably, "We're not even shooting right now. Stop attacking me for every single thing."

Everleigh washed her hands calmly and straightened her back. She stared at Selena and commented, "Selena, you never change. You still can't tell when someone's nice."

Everleigh turned around to leave. She could not be bothered to argue with Selena.

For the entire week, Selena used all kinds of means to find fault with her. In her opinion, she was very childish, and it was the same for those who boycotted her.

"Everleigh, stop right there," Selena turned around and shouted, "I hate you because you act like you know everything. I don't care who got you your job or what background you have. As long as I'm the female lead, I'll never let you off the hook."

Everleigh frowned and glanced at Selena. "Selena, I don't understand why you're being so hostile. We're sisters, and I've never done anything to you."

After returning to the country, Selena's sudden hostile behavior puzzled her.

"You don't understand?" Selena sneered, and her eyes turned cold. "Of course, you won't understand. You were the center of the world ever since we're children, so how would you understand someone else's feelings?"

Suddenly, a crew member shouted to them from the corridor, "Miss Selena, the director is asking for you!"

Selena did not continue. She glared at Everleigh before hurrying away.

Everleigh stared at Selena's back, and she scowled.

It was in the afternoon, and the scorching sun engulfed Ocpeace City.

The high-rise buildings in the city center were reflecting the glaring sun. It was so bright that no one dared to look up. The heat made the city burn, and the ground was sizzling. The pedestrians on the zebra crossing were scurrying to enter an air-conditioned room.

In the lobby of the office building, two kids attracted a lot of attention.

The seven-year-old girl was wearing a striking red dress, and her dark eyes were bright. As soon as she stepped into the building, she scanned the place curiously. Her little face was flushed from the heat. She was so adorable that everyone was tempted to pinch her cheeks.

There was a boy around her age behind her. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and a pair of shorts. He was composed, and he did not look his age. He pursed his thin lips and focused his gaze on the little girl.

"Alastair, it's here, right? Daddy works here."

Alastair frowned. He seemingly disliked how Adrienne addressed Theodore, but he did not retort.

The receptionists at the front desk spotted the two children. The twins had been standing in the lobby for a while. The receptionists exchanged knowing looks, and one of the younger female receptionists walked to the children.

"Kids, who are you looking for?"
