The following day, Nelly woke up feeling a little disconcerted. She was inundated with mixed feelings as there was no update about that organization. Nelly was anxious, as it felt like she was one step away from learning the truth. After so many years, this was the first time she felt as though the truth was right before her. However, she had to keep calm and wait. “I believe Sam won’t disappoint me!” With that thought in mind, Nelly forced herself to calm down.
When it was time for breakfast, Tony and Ben came out of their bedrooms with their phones. “Nelly, did Donna contact you?” Ben asked.
“We talked on the phone yesterday morning. What’s wrong?” Nelly responded.
“I sent her a text last night, but she didn’t reply until now!” Ben furrowed his brows.
“She’s busy filming, so she might not have time to keep an eye on her phone. Even after she was done with work, she could’ve gone to bed directly,” Nelly explained as she ate her breakfast.
“Is that so?”
“That’s what she told me,” replied Nelly. Ben raised his brow. “Fine.” He took a seat and began eating breakfast.
Tony came over to join them, his brows knitted together as he asked, “Is it that hard to shoot a movie?”
“I guess so. Sometimes, jobs that look glamorous might be harder than one could imagine,” Nelly told him. She wasn’t familiar with the entertainment industry, but after Donna decided to become an actress, she quickly researched it.
Filming in the wind and sun, staying up all night, jumping into water puddles during winter, and wearing cotton clothes during summer were among the essential things an actor had to encounter during filming. Besides, they had to hang on steel wires and complete blasting scenes to create a better visual effect and stimulate the audience. They would also encounter a variety of problems in the process. Those who were dedicated had to risk their lives by doing all stunts personally. Thus, this job wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
Ben chimed in, “I’ve searched about it, and it is apparently a difficult job. They have to soak themselves in dirty water and complete fighting scenes. They have an action choreographer, but it is pretty easy to get hurt. I wonder if Donna can stand that!”
Tony’s lips curled. “Donna is stronger than we imagine. She must have considered everything before making up her mind. Stop questioning her ability! She’ll get upset.”
Ben made no attempt to deny it, for Donna was really hot-tempered.
“I’ve read her script, and there are no dangerous scenes this time. Don’t worry,” Nelly assured them. Ben turned to look at her. “Nelly, do you know where Donna’s filming location is?”

“It’s the weekend today. Tony and I can go to visit her!” Ben said. Tony nodded as he thought it was a great idea.
Nelly tilted her head and thought about it. “I don’t think I know where the filming location is.” Comprehension dawned on the boys as she said nothing.
“Forget it. Let’s go ask Daddy!” Tony suggested. Nelly was rendered speechless.
Did they just dismiss me?
Nevertheless, Nelly suddenly realized that Alpha Kilian had been a great help to her ever since he reappeared in her life.
After breakfast, Nelly went to work.
She was busy with work the entire morning. When it was time for lunch, Ross, Tommy, and Chris gathered in the cafeteria.
Ross’ brows furrowed as he scrolled his phone.
Tommy glanced at him. “You’ve been staring at your phone all day. Is there anything interesting inside?”
“Eat your lunch and stay out of my business!” Ross snapped, but his gaze was still fixed on his phone. Hearing that, Tommy narrowed his gaze. “Did you get a girlfriend secretly behind my back?”
Ross finally looked away from his phone and glared at Tommy. “You yourself mentioned the word ‘secretly.’ Why would I tell you?”
“Hey! Fine. Don’t come to me and cry when you get dumped!” “F*ck off! You’re the one who’ll get dumped!”
They were throwing shades at each other as usual. Chris sat beside them and ate his lunch silently. Right then, Nelly looked up and asked, “Ross, did Donna reply to your text?”
Ross was taken aback at the sudden change of topic. He then replied, “Last night, she said she’ll give me a surprise. I’m still waiting for that.”
Nelly simply nodded at him in response.
Confused, Tommy asked, “What text? What surprise? What the heck is going on?”
Nelly raised her eyebrow and flashed a smile. However, she didn’t bother answering Tommy’s question.
“Ms. Jackson, pray tell!” Tommy urged.
Before Nelly could say anything, Ross shook his head vehemently.
“Mm, this concerns someone else’s privacy. You should ask the person involved,” Nelly told Tommy.
Hearing that, Tommy turned to Ross. “Tell me what happened!” Ross’s lips curled into a grin. “Guess what it is!”
“Guess? Will you tell me or not? If you don’t, I shall…” Tommy trailed off and spotted the chicken drumstick on Ross’ plate. Taking it away, he demanded, “If you don’t tell me anything, I shall eat your drumstick!”
Ross’ brows snapped together. “Tommy, I’m warning you to put my drumstick down!” “Will you tell me or not?”
“No!”
Thus, Tommy took a big bite of the chicken drumstick and shot Ross a taunting look. At once, Ross leaped up to get the drumstick back.
The two men began a “battle” for a chicken drumstick right in the cafeteria.
Seeing their childish actions, Nelly and Chris quickly finished their lunch and left with their trays. When it was soon time to get off work, Ross came to Nelly’s office again.
He seemed to have something to say yet was hesitant to speak. Nelly spared him a look. “What is it?”
“Ms. Jackson, Donna promised to give me a surprise at noon, but she still hadn’t replied to my text. I sent her a few texts, but she didn’t reply to me. Can you find out if she was annoyed by me because I was too talkative?” Ross asked helplessly.
Nelly chuckled. “She might be busy, but I’ll help you ask her!” She picked up her phone and sent a text to Donna.
