Catherine glanced at Freya coldly. “I’m sorry. The person beside my husband isn’t a good man.”
Freya cleared her throat awkwardly. “It’s fine. Some people won’t be affected because they know how
to keep their hands clean.”
Eliza did not say a word. She simply turned around and walked to a bench at the side to rest and drink
some water. She also took a towel and wiped the sweat on her face.
“Wifey, I didn’t think you guys would be here too.” When Shaun saw them, he was surprised and
nervous at the same time.
After all, his wife utterly hated Chester just some time ago. She did not even let him climb onto the bed.
Shaun added in an effort to please, “If I had known you guys were coming, you could’ve invited me too.
I wouldn’t have had to ask Chester. After all, you know that I don’t have many friends. I had no choice.”
After he spoke, he glanced at Chester with disdain.
Chester was speechless.
F*ck, it was a typical move of abandoning a friend now that he had a wife.
However, if Chester had known he would meet Eliza there, he would not have been bothered to come
either.
Chester’s indifferent gaze swept across Eliza, who sat at the bench far away. She was looking at her
phone. He frowned.
Eliza did not even come over to greet her boss even after seeing him. She had truly grown bold.
“You guys can play over there.” Catherine did not want to be near Chester. She pointed at an empty
court.
Shaun did not give up. However, when he thought of his useless friend beside him, he caved in to his
fate and brought Chester to the adjacent court.
Catherine walked to Eliza’s side apologetically. “ Lizzie, I’m sorry. Shaun was the one who gave me the
card for this badminton arena. I played here once before, and I only brought you here because I
thought the venue was good. I didn’t think Chester and Shaun would come too.”
Freya found it weird and said, “It’s such a coincidence. Cathy, did Shaun know you came here to play
and followed you on purpose?”
“He wouldn’t have done that. He knows that I dislike Chester. He’s been trying to avoid letting me see
him. Why would he bring that person right before my eyes?”
After Catherine spoke, she thought that Eliza and Chester had a bizarre fate.
Canberra was so huge, yet they still crossed paths after separating.
“It’s okay. He’s Felix Media’s boss. There’ll be all sorts of events in the company too. We can’t possibly
not meet each other forever.” Just after Eliza finished speaking, Shedrick gave her a call.
“You guys can start playing first.” Eliza handed the racket over and walked to a corner of the badminton
arena.
“Eliza, Director Lawrence wants me to ask you when you’re planning to return to the movie set and film
because the drama ‘The Final Separation’ is only a
third done.” Shedrick’s tone was anxious. “You’re the female lead. If you don’t go back, the filming crew
can’t resume the shooting as usual.”
The Final Separation was the drama that Eliza and Heather had worked on together a few days ago.
After she and Heather had back-to-back scandals, the filming was stopped.
“You’re talking about that drama?” Eliza’s tone was lazy. “But didn’t Director Lawrence tell me to
compensate for the losses and terminate my contract? He stopped me from filming because I had a
scandal, didn’t he?”
“That was back then. Wasn’t your name cleared?
Director Lawrence returned the compensation to the company too.” Shedrick said, “Director Lawrence
still appreciates you a lot. He had no choice but to switch you out back then.”
“Who’s the person replacing Heather’s character as the second female lead?” Eliza asked out of
curiosity.
Shedrick cleared his throat. “You don’t have to care about that. The company will arrange it. You just
have to play your role as the female lead.”
Who was Eliza? After thinking, she smiled and said, “ President Daley, is it inconvenient to talk about
it? Could it be that the replacement is Cindy?”
“…Ahem. Eliza, there was no other way. The company’s newcomers still require more training to
improve their acting skills. Cindy is more suitable,” Shedrick said.
Eliza could not help but laugh. The company’s shamelessness truly had no boundaries. “President
Daley, to be honest with you, I’ve already terminated my contract with Director Lawrence. I didn’t like
the script of his drama from the start. If it weren’t for the company forcing me to accept it back then and
restricting me from going out of the city to film, I wouldn’t have accepted that drama. Now that I’ve
terminated my contract, I have no plans to return to that drama set. For a female actress who has top
acting skills like me, that kind of drama doesn’t match my identity. ”
