Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Summer glanced at Amber without the intention of moving her hand away, as if she did not hear what

Amber had said.

"Summer, didn't you hear what I said?" Amber was getting impatient, but she lowered her voice.

Summer continued to ignore her.

Amber raised her chin and sneered, "Do you know what you look like now?"

She knew that Summer would ignore her, and she did not expect her to answer her question. She

continued, "You are like a stray dog trying to keep the last bit of your poor dignity."

Amber deliberately emphasized the last few words.

Summer slowly put down the magazine in her hand. She turned to look at Amber with disdain, as if she

didn't take her seriously at all.

Summer tilted her head to one side, as if she was condescending to talk to Amber, "Do you know what

you look like now? Like a dog that can't wait to lift its legs and pee everywhere to mark its territory."

"You..." Amber pointed at Summer, flying into a rage.

Summer reached out her hand and held the fingers that Amber extended. She smiled and spoke in a

gentle tone, like a good friend persuading Amber, "Miss Amber, don't forget who you are now. If you are

rude to me like this, what would people think of you?"

Although Amber was angry, she knew that Summer's words made sense.

However, she couldn't lump it, which was exactly what Summer forced her to do it.

Summer had thought of working without personal feelings, and she didn't want to be involved with

Leonardo and Amber anymore.

However, it went against her wish. Money and power ruled. Leonardo invested on 'Lost City 2' and

became the patron.

She was indebted to Eliza, so she could not indulge herself and quit, leaving Eliza and the crew in

great trouble.

She had to face Amber's hostility and the possible persecution from Leonardo in the future.

However, she was not a coward, whose knees would buckle at the provocation.

Glaring angrily at Summer, Amber struggled fiercely and pulled her finger out of Summer's hand.

Perhaps Amber felt that she had lost her composure just now. She collected herself and said with her

usual calmness, "Don't think you've won."

Summer smiled and said, "Same to you."

Amber gritted her teeth and looked away, advising herself to be patient. She tucked herself with the

blanket and put on her eyeshade, going to sleep.

The world was finally quiet. Summer closed the magazine and gently pressed down on the place

between her eyebrows with a solemn expression.

She had just boarded the plane and had made an enemy before the filming. When they started to work

together, there would be a lot of troubles. She needed to save her energy to keep herself in good spirit,

so she could deal with those troubles when they came.

Their plane took off at noon, and soon lunch was served on the plane.

The plane would land in the afternoon, and there would be a lot of things to do. Therefore, they might

not have time for lunch. The most they could do was to have dinner together.

Summer ate up the meal served by the flight attendant. Amber took a few bites and said with distain

that it tasted awful, so she didn't finish it.

Summer used to think that Amber was smart, but now she found that she was just an ordinary woman.

After Amber became Leonardo's girlfriend, her intelligence seemed to have left her. She only thought of

making things difficult for his ex-wife.

When they got off the plane, almost everyone was saying it was hot.

Summer was holding her down jacket, feeling it was extremely hot. When she went out of the airport,

she was sweating all over.

On the way to the hotel, Eliza did not intentionally sit with others in the bus, and instead she pulled

Summer over to her.

"How does it feel to sit with Amber?" Eliza asked her in obvious excitement, as if she couldn't wait to

watch the show.

Summer did not look at her. She took out a string from her bag and tied up her hair, saying, "If you hide

your anticipation to watch the fun, I would feel it is better to sit with you."

Eliza twitched the corners of her mouth. "Are you aware that your tongue is getting sharper?"

"Perhaps I stay in the character." The leading actor of 'Lost City' had a sharp tongue. To put it in better

words, he was trenchant.

Eliza let out a sigh of relief and said, "I think my previous worries might be unnecessary. Didn't you

handle Amber well on your own?"

"If Amber goes against me only, I have no problem dealing with her by myself." Only after Summer tied

her hair did she have time to turn on her phone and read the messages.

Apart from the messages from Douglas and Jessica, there was a missed call from Tim.

Tim called her mostly because of Leonardo.

Summer did not return Tim's phone call right away. Instead, she sent a message to Douglas, "I landed.

Where are you? Is Leonardo at home?"

Eliza had been thinking about what Summer meant, asking, "What do you mean? Do you mean that

Amber attempts to mess up with people around you? Let's get to the point. Does she want to screw me

as well?"

Summer frowned. Although she felt that Eliza's words were too coarse, she nodded and said, "You can

see it that way."

After she spoke, she received the reply from Douglas. "No."

Just as Summer was about to text back, Douglas replied, "Why are you still thinking about that

heartless man up to this moment? You're with the crew now, so why don't you just get a handsome

young man to be your boyfriend. By the way, the leading actor is very attractive..."

Summer pulled a wry face. "I am just asking."

Douglas said indignantly, "That means you are still thinking of him."

Summer was lost for words. She typed on the screen and texted, her finger on the screen a few times

and said, "Chat with you later. I'm busy."

When she exited the message screen, she felt someone staring at her. Summer abruptly turned her

head and saw Eliza smiling meaningfully.

Eliza gently nudged Summer, lowered her voice, and said with exaggerated excitement, "Wow. You

finally change your mind and look for a boyfriend? Look at his avatar. Obviously he is handsome young

man."

Did Eliza peek when she texted on her message?

"What did you see?" Summer asked crossly.

"I saw everything." Eliza said solemnly.

Summer chuckled. If Eliza had seen everything, she wouldn't have said that.
