Chapter 1936: Tess Tate Can’t Sit Still Anymore

"Do you really like me?" Abby looked into his eyes with a hint of uncertain expectation, and a touch of fear, just like she’d buried this love in her heart for many years.

Anton Miller silently gazed at her, he didn’t speak, but his eyes already contained a thousand words.

He really wanted to say to her, yes, you little fool, I’ve always loved you deeply, always, always... I really have.

The girl met his gaze, her lips slightly lifted, and in her light amber eyes seemed to be a hint of brightness. "So, Sir, what do you like about me?"

Her voice was like a feather, gently falling into his heart, the sound exactly the same as it was in his memory ten years ago.

"A feeling." He answered sincerely, "A feeling that’s hard to describe."

As they ran through the lines here, Abby Sawyer gradually found herself drawn into the role by him.

But because he had studied the script so thoroughly, he wasn’t unfamiliar with the lines, so this time Abby’s acting was alright, and the director thought she exceeded expectations.

Meanwhile, rumors that Abby Sawyer was CEO Kingston’s lover had already spread throughout the film set. If before it was just speculation, now with someone stirring things up intentionally, the rumors were becoming more vivid.

Tess Tate was in the restroom; she heard someone come in, along with the sounds of gossip—

"Do you know why Abby Sawyer went from being an assistant to playing the third female lead within just a few hours? I heard she has an ambiguous relationship with CEO Kingston."

"And the replaced Violet Sutton was supposedly the director’s niece, and it was her first time acting."

"Nowadays, it’s all about who has stronger connections."

"So because Abby Sawyer’s acting wasn’t great, Anton wasn’t angry and was still patient with her."

"It doesn’t make sense, CEO Kingston’s woman outside, is she public? And has she gained recognition from CEO Kingston’s brother? Why is Anton treating her so well? Then... does Mia Lane’s status as Mrs. Kingston still stand?"

"These days, rich men all have two families; it’s nothing new."

Upon hearing these words, Tess Tate was nearly aghast, oh my God!! How could such rumors spread??

This was terrifying!

Utterly unbelievable!!

This is just downright ridiculous!

After they left, Tess Tate came out, and while washing her hands at the sink, she calmly thought.

What to do, what to do?

This matter must be dealt with immediately! Otherwise, how could her Abby face these people in the future!

But this was a big issue, clearly beyond Tess Tate’s capability; she couldn’t possibly explain to everyone, and in the face of public opinion, she couldn’t offer explanations either.

So, after stepping out of the restroom, she immediately found Jerry Garcia, "Assistant Jerry, I..."

"Call me Jerry," he emphasized again, having already reminded her earlier, then he flashed a smile at her, "What’s up, Tess?"

"Can I have CEO Kingston’s phone number? He gave me his card, but I left it at home. I want to call him right now."

Seeing her urgency, Jerry Garcia withdrew his smile and seriously asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

"Yes." Tess Tate looked determined and then nodded, "But it’s not a big deal, I just need to speak with him over the phone."

Jerry Garcia didn’t ask further and gave her a number, which Tess quickly saved, "Thanks!" then turned and left.

As Jerry watched her rapidly disappearing figure, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried, wondering what had happened?

But since she didn’t say, it wouldn’t be right for him to pursue further questions.

Tess Tate wasted no time; she found a relatively quiet place and dialed Justin Kingston’s number.

At that moment, Justin Kingston had just finished a video conference.
