After celebrating her birthday, Shayne stayed back in Oz City for another few days to be with Yanny.
However, Yanny had to leave early for work and came back late at night. She did not have the time to be with Shayne and said, “Master Shayne, go back to North City. With you here, I can’t even be with you. Also, I won’t be able to concentrate so I haven’t been doing too well.”
Shayne looked at her and raised his eyebrow. “So I’m a distraction?”
Yanny walked to the bed and could not help but laugh at his sulky look. She stretched his arm and hugged him. “Master Shayne, can I discuss something with you?”
Shayne’s voice was rigid. “Do tell.”
Yanny grabbed his hand and said gently, “In the future when I’m shooting, can you not come so suddenly to look for me?”
‘Heh, you’re afraid I’ll catch you having an affair?’
Shayne did not reply, his expression cold.
Yanny was afraid that he might be mistaken, so she continued, “Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I do not want to see you. It’s just that when you’re here, you’ll affect my mood. It’ll be hard for me to get into character.”
Just like the past few days, Shayne visited her and helped her celebrate her birthday. It was true, she was happy. However, she also could not get into character as well.
For the past few days, Larry had started to criticize her.
A person has only a limited amount of energy. Spending time with Shayne made her happy, but acting as Felicia Riley, she would need to control her emotions more. This caused Yanny to not focus on her acting.
Shayne harrumphed a little. He turned around with his back facing her and went to sleep.
Yanny looked at his arrogant back. She wanted to laugh, yet was depressed at the same time. Shaye was a 27-year-old man. Why was he harder to handle than a 20-year-old girl like herself?
Yanny was not that petty and easily angered as well. She decided to coax him, stretching her arms out and hugging him from behind. She rubbed her face against his back. “Are you angry?”
Shayne was silent, choosing to ignore her.
Yanny took a look at his face. ‘Is he really asleep?’
She hugged him and said, “Shayne, you’re starting to affect my mood. When you’re here, of course I’m happy. That’s why I can’t get into character so fast.”
Shayne, whose back was still facing her, opened his eyes. He was silent for a while then he closed his eyes. He pretended to casually turn around and hugged Yanny in his arms. He muttered two words from his thin lips, “Let’s sleep.”
Yanny smiled in his arms.
…
Shayne was just back in North City for not long when Cara came looking for him.
However, Shayne did not want to see her then. He sent Jake to deal with her.
Cara was waiting in the resting area, clutching a few letters. She bit her lip and said, “Jake, if Master Shayne does not see me, he’ll regret it.”
Jake smiled professionally, “Whether or not he’ll regret it would be his matter. Master Shayne said he is busy today, he doesn’t have the time to see you. As his assistant, I only do what was instructed. I will not decide on Master Shayne’s behalf. Miss Cara, please go back. Master Shayne is not seeing guests today.”
Cara was still reluctant. She threw the letters on the table and said, “Please pass this on to Master Shayne then. I’m here to pass him these letters because I do not want Master Shayne to be cheated by my sister.”
