At the recording studio.
Just as the director was about to resume shooting, he received a phone call and immediately signaled the crew to stop recording.
"When are we going to begin shooting, director? If we begin early, we can end the day early."
The director replied, "Just received word from upper management. Someone will be coming for a work audit. I'm not too sure about the overall details and was told to put things on hold for now."
Wade frowned and said, "Who’s the big shot anyway?"
A few of the female celebrities said, "It might be an investor."
Everyone grew incredibly nervous while they discussed amongst themselves and waited for the person to arrive.
It was rare to have an investor attend a shoot.
Personal relationships and connections were extremely important in the entertainment industry. If they could somehow be acquainted with a major investor and make him their benefactor, it would be smooth sailing for their careers in the entertainment industry in the future.
The female celebrities all began to hastily fix their makeup.
When Boyle and Calum arrived, they caught a lot of people’s attention.
Boyle looked extremely menacing and cold as he walked over to the set. He noticed Cherie was wrapped in a towel as she sat quietly alone at a corner.
Her hair was completely drenched and it seemed her makeup had long since been washed off her small and pale face. She looked exhausted.
The director approached them and asked, "Excuse me, may I know who you are?"
Judging from how menacing and cold Boyle seemed, he was obviously not some ordinary person. If the director's guess was correct, Boyle was none other than the auditor the higher-ups had told him about.
The director was very experienced in judging people and his assumptions were never wrong.
Calum took out an auditor's pass from his pocket and said, "We're from Heavenly Entertainment."
After hearing that they were from Heavenly Entertainment, the director immediately replied respectfully, "Alright, please be my guest. You may proceed with your audit. Everything we do adheres to protocol and standard operating procedure."
The director assumed Boyle was here to audit the set’s safety regulations. It was only natural for his company to worry about the safety of similar game shows, which is why there was an audit in the first place.
However, Boyle turned around and started walking toward that little girl who was sitting alone at a corner.
The other female celebrities were watching him while whispering among themselves.
"What's going on? Who exactly is the auditor here for?"
"I think he's walking over to Cherie."
"No way? She's the one who brought the investor here?'
"Um… That can’t be possible. She's such a weirdo and won't talk to people. She isn't the friendly type."
Boyle was trying his best to ignore the mean comments because he was worried that he might lose control and decide that he wanted to completely ruin those people's careers just for saying mean things about his woman.
Cherie was completely lost in her thoughts when he approached her. She did not realize that someone had approached her until the shadow of a tall man blocked out the light and obscured her vision.
Boyle stood beside her, reached out, and patted her head. He asked in a gentle voice, "What happened to you?"
Cherie raised her head hesitantly before meeting Boyle's gaze.
He was standing tall while she sat down. He placed his huge hand on the back of her head as she stared at him like a child. She looked tired.
Cherie was shocked as she asked, "What are you doing here? I've delivered Boney to you already."
Boyle replied, "This has nothing to do with Boney."
Boyle could no longer bear to watch her sit under the sun as he bent over and carried her in his arms.
Cherie raised her brows and said, "Put me down, I'm still working."
Boyle had no intention to let her go as he stared at her and said, "You're too exhausted and need to rest now."
"I'm not leaving with you. I can rest on my own."
Although she was unwilling to leave with him, Boyle was unreasonable as he said, "Stop moving around. Put your arms around my neck or you'll slip and it'll hurt me."
Cherie was speechless.
There were a lot of people present on set.
It seemed Boyle had drawn a lot of attention toward them by carrying Cherie in his arms.
"Who on Earth is that person?"
"No way, he’s that bold?"
"Are they not afraid of going viral? Was the princess only here to look for a potential partner?"
