However, when that woman arrived at the door, a little boy skipped in.
Elspeth expression instantly changed when she saw him because he was that boy who resembled a lot like Callum!
Upon seeing the boy, she instantly felt uneasy again.
She was so eager to toss her pen on the table and run down the stage to have a look herself.
She stared at the little boy running toward Yena and showing off his toy in his hands, but Yena grabbed it and threw it on the floor.
The boy immediately presented a look of disappointment.
Strangely enough, the woman who brought him around last time wasn't Yena but an ordinary-looking woman.
Elspeth even did a background search on her name and found out that it was a fake one.
But how did this boy know Yena?
Suddenly, Elspeth realized that the matter wasn't as simple as she thought. Something more complicated was definitely going on behind the scenes!
Having that thought in mind, she grabbed her phone and dialed a string of numbers.
"Track someone down for me."
…
After the fan signing event, Elspeth decided to check on Yelena at the filming site.
Yelena was currently reading the script because it was a drama series that she picked herself. Even though she took on the role of a second female lead, the character was likable. If she did a good job portraying the character, she might even earn more fame than the female lead.
When Elspeth went to visit her, Yelena was sitting on a wooden stool wearing palace attire.
She was going to play a little princess who was willful on the outside but kind on the inside. Since her character's image was similar to her actual character, Elspeth even praised her for picking the right project.
During this period, Timothy's wife was going to deliver her second baby, so she was given maternity leave, leaving Yelena with only one assistant.
When Elspeth approached her, she was surprised to find a familiar figure in a corner.
"Hey, Federick, what brings you here?" she exclaimed while looking at him.
"I'm one of the screenwriters of this series. Of course, I'd be here!"
Crossing his leg, Federick read the script leisurely.
"Did you sign up to be a screenwriter because you weren't nominated as the village director?"
Elspeth took a seat next to him while adding, "What did your dad say?"
"My dad said as long as I marry the woman he picked for me, he won't meddle in my future plans."
Yelena, who was buried in the script trying to memorize her lines, turned her head around abruptly in excitement upon hearing that.
"Marry? Marry who?"
Federick sent her a doting look and uttered, "Just memorize your script. Don't be nosy."
Yelena snorted and turned her head back, causing her hair accessories to jingle following her movement.
Elspeth instantly understood his feelings upon seeing the look on his face. Clicking her tongue, she questioned, "Doesn't that mean you still have to marry that woman? Are you sure you can live with peace of mind?"
Federick shook his head helplessly. "If you're already aware of that, please don't ask me. What choice do I have? Should I be competing with him instead?"
Elspeth could tell that it was inevitable for him to fall for Yelena.
However, he did not have the intention to compete with Hank for Yelena at all.
"I don't mean it that way. Like I said last time, I just hope you can think it through."
While the two chatted, the person in front of them eavesdropped throughout the conversation.
However, Yelena couldn't catch what they were talking about. Their conversation was too confusing for her to understand.
Anyway, the shoot was starting very soon, so she didn't bother asking them and went to the shooting site instead.
The male lead had delicate features, but when it was his turn to speak, he would always get the script wrong.
That scene was indeed a little awkward, hence Yelena also felt a little shy about it.
"Yeah. He forgot his line just when he leaned close."
Federick's gaze instantly turned sharp. He turned around and scanned Cayson from top to toe.
This little brat must have other intentions. He seems interested in her.
As if his mind had been read, Cayson instantly turned crimson.
Clutching the script in his hands and glancing at it, Federick asked, "How about I demonstrate this part?"
Cayson subconsciously shook his head and rejected him, "N-No, thanks. I should probably do it myself?"
At the thought of Federick having physical contact with Yelena, he couldn't help feeling upset.
Federick spread his palms. "If you don't want me to do the demonstration, and you can't do well, should we just remove this scene?"
At the same time, Federick would be able to stop the kid from having other thoughts.
Cayson, who had rejected him, froze.
"Maybe you should do the demonstration."
Federick snorted. "Watch carefully."
After saying that, he turned around and reached out for Yelena's waist while she was still in a panic.
Seeing Federick's face up close, Yelena realized that his bare face actually looked better than Cayson's face with makeup on.
Federick had a pair of affectionate eyes in the shape of peach blossom, and when he stared into her eyes, she couldn't help finding him charming.
"I still managed to catch you eventually, little brat."
Yelena was stunned all of a sudden, unable to take the baton.
That was too much!
