The actress didn’t have a professional acting background, nor did she have any connections in the industry. She was pretty, but in an industry full of beautiful women, she really wasn’t anything special.

But she was incredibly determined. Starting as a barely known, D–list celebrity, she slowly worked her way up to become a leading actress.

Even though she was a well–known and respected actress now, she still stayed humble and kept a low profile.

With two talented leads anchoring the cast, this set was bursting with positive energy.

Moreover, with a top–tier CEO like Jeremy in the cast, this production was guaranteed to generate plenty of buzz.

People were definitely curious about why a big–time CEO would want to act in a show. Most figured he was just doing it for fun.

Viewers tuned in out of curiosity, but when they saw how good the story and performances were, they’d be blown away.

Amelia could already see that, even if the show didn’t become a huge hit, it wouldn’t do badly.

As long as it made some waves and got some recognition—even if it wasn’t as much as they hoped–it still wouldn’t be a flop.

Amelia and Jeremy had already finished all their scenes, so for the next few days, they didn’t even need to be on set.

That was because Sylvester and Tony knew both Jeremy and Amelia were busy most of the time. So when they finally had free time, they filmed all their solo scenes in one go.

After leaving the set, Jeremy insisted on driving Amelia home himself.

“You don’t have any other plans today, do you?”

“Not for now. I just wanted to go over the script. Why?” Amelia answered honestly.

She trusted him and lowered her guard around him.

“Since I’m free too, how about I come over to your place and we run lines together?”

Jeremy looked at her, then leaned in close and whispered in her car.

“Don’t forget, we play a couple in the show, you know.”

Amelia had already suspected he was up to something. Now, with him whispering right in her ear, her face instantly turned red.

“You … can you talk normally? Why are you getting so close?”

“You didn’t fasten your seatbelt, so I just wanted to help. What did you think I was doing?”

After saying that, Jeremy fastened her seatbelt for her, making her blush even harder.

She is just too cute.

Jeremy saw her reaction and couldn’t help but smile as he started the car.

Throughout the whole ride, there was a subtle, awkward tension in the air.

“So? What do you think about my suggestion? At least give me an answer?” Jeremy asked again, acting all innocent.

“Yeah, that’s fine,” Amelia agreed after thinking about it.

Having a guy over at her place to rehearse lines certainly looked like a recipe for scandal.

But Amelia decided she was probably overthinking it.

Putting aside any weird thoughts, she genuinely wanted to do well in this show.

She wanted to earn back everything she’d lost, step by step, so the Nygards would have nothing to criticize!

Soon, they arrived at Amelia’s place at Cloudspire Estate.

They got out of the car and headed for the elevator together.

In the elevator, the small space made them feel even closer. Amelia could clearly smell the faint scent of Jeremy’s cologne, and her heart beat faster,

Once inside her apartment, Amelia offered to get him a pair of slippers.

But then she realized that, since she lived alone and never had guys over, she didn’t even own any men’s slippers.

Just as she was about to suggest that Jeremy go barefoot, she saw him take out a pair of dark gray men’s slippers from somewhere.

“I brought these myself. I’ll just keep them here from now on, so you won’t have to buy any.”

With that, Jeremy slipped on his own slippers and walked right into the living room.

Amelia was speechless.
