Chapter 46
He thought, “Didn’t she used to hate it the most when I got close to other women?
“Back then, even the slightest issue would have Keira sulking and acting coy, or pouting her lips in feigned grievance, prodding me to get an explanation.
“She was unbelievably adorable back then.”
Her constant questions used to annoy him sometimes. Now she was quiet, but Andres wished she would ask him questions again. Even anger would be better than silence.
At least it made it clear to him that she cared about him a lot.
“Andres, how did this spread online? Now Keira must have misunderstood. That’s why she’s so upset. What do you think I should explain to her?”
Marlee looked at him, her long eyelashes quivering. Her eyes were welled up with tears. Andres felt a pang of heartache. Marlee used to be the happiest girl in his memory. Now she seemed constantly targeted by Keira, always looking wronged with red eyes.
He had just experienced a slight shift in his feelings toward Keira, but it quickly turned back into
anger.
Andres thought, “To get back together, Keira even humbled herself to seek help from Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, but then in front of me, she started putting on airs again.
“When did she become so hypocritical?”
He reached out and gently pinched Marlee’s cheeks, saying, “Don’t worry. You don’t need to stress about this. I’ll handle it.
“Your job right now is to focus on the audition and not get distracted, so you can work with Mr. Watkins and also act with me.”
Marlee visibly relaxed and smiled, “Don’t worry, Andres. I’ve been practicing hard and even hired a teacher since you told me about this chance. There won’t be any problems this time.
“However, you have to explain it to Keira. Don’t get angry. Girls need to be soothed. You can’t be too harsh, okay?”
Andres nodded and escorted her to the lounge.
As soon as he turned his head, his face darkened.
He thought, “It’s sweet girls like Marlee who need soothing, not women like Keira who are all about making a fuss and being pushy!
“I want to see what Keira can do on the set.”
Auditions had already started here. Markus was sitting in the middle, with Keira sitting next to him, and Everett sitting next to her.
For a moment, there was a slight illusion that Keira was in the main seat.
