Chapter 284

“I know, my Ralda is always so caring. However, I’m just a supporting role with few scenes. I just nap on the side during breaks, hehe.”

Vonnie was speaking when a handsome face suddenly appeared in the video. I stared blankly, almost forgetting to breathe. The man wore vintage clothing, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes; his hair was tied high and secured with accessories. A fox fur cloak draped his shoulders, and his exceptionally handsome face truly exuded an air of unmatched nobility.

I stared for a long time before recognizing him as Anton. I was stunned, and Vonnie laughed beside me, saying, “Ralda, you’re such a flirt! You can’t even take your eyes off a handsome man.”

I blushed and said impatiently, “Don’t talk nonsense! I just didn’t recognize him as Mr. Palmer at first.”

“Haha, Mr. Palmer really looks handsome in any outfit, doesn’t he? Compared to your Reynaldo, not bad.”

Anton suddenly joined the video chat; Vonnie’s voice was nearby, but she had moved to the side. Anton filled the entire video frame; I couldn’t see Vonnie.

Anton greeted me, “Esmeralda, how have you been lately? I heard you went on a business trip with Reynaldo.”

“Um,” I nodded, wanting to video call Vonnie but feeling too shy. Although Anton’s incredibly handsome face was enjoyable to look at, the awkwardness was overwhelming, especially since I was wearing a low-cut camisole pajama set. Maybe I was overthinking, but I felt Anton’s gaze drifting towards my neckline.

He probably wouldn’t; Anton is so handsome and successful, he has plenty of women—he definitely wouldn’t sneak a peek at me. But it was still awkward. What should I do? I quietly pulled the quilt in front of me.

Anton suddenly smiled and said, “Esmeralda, you are so cute.”

I was stunned. Adorable? What’s adorable about me? What did I do to make him think I’m cute? Anton returned the phone to Vonnie, and she was the only one left in the frame.

Vonnie excitedly said, “Mr. Palmer is really handsome. Oh, how lucky I am to work with him! It’s just a pity that I’m not the leading lady.”

“Who is the leading actress?” I asked instinctively.

Vonnie rolled her eyes. “It’s Cristina Durant, the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry recently. You know, she’s such a diva, making everyone on set wait for her every day. She acts like a diva all day long, insisting on new props even if they’ve been used. She mocks everyone, except two people.”

I asked with a smile, “Which two?”

“The director and Mr. Palmer. Oh, Ralda, if you visit me, you’ll see for yourself. I’ve never seen a celebrity as arrogant as her.”

“How did Winston choose her as the leading lady?” I asked in confusion.

Vonnie said, “The leading lady was personally chosen by Mr. Palmer. Although Cristina is popular and good-looking, her character isn’t great. I don’t know why Mr. Palmer chose her.”

“Hmm… Does Mr. Palmer like Cristina?” I guessed.
