Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 289 - 288: Today, She Insists on Doing This!
His eyebrows were thick, his features upright and proper, a face that exuded righteousness and seriousness. Yet, his temperament was gentle, and his smile was amiable, which gave off the impression of a virtuous artist.
However...
What she saw was subtle, yet remarkable.
This man had the face of a gentleman, but beneath those eyes lurked a sense of falseness.
She could read faces, and she was very accurate; this man was very false.
In her thoughts, Tiana Thorne showed a little fan girl smile, reached out her hand to him, her expression full of admiration and excitement: "Senior Rhodes, I never thought that the one playing the Prime Minister was you. I’ve read your book, ’Sincerity Conquers the World,’ and it’s filled with positive energy. To me, it’s a classic masterpiece."
Everyone was slightly taken aback, not expecting Tiana Thorne to be a fan of Senior Rhodes.
Cain Rhodes also extended his hand to shake hers, smiling: "Thank you for your praise, Miss Tiana. It’s not really a classic masterpiece, just some casual notes."
Tiana Thorne’s eyes were bright and rosy, her cheeks charmingly flushed: "And your starring martial arts movie ’Going Down the Mountain,’ I really love that film. Being able to work with Senior Rhodes is truly a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes."
The bystanders hearing this thought she was indeed a genuine fan.
May Sloane was stunned.
What’s up with Tiana?
How did she not know Tiana admired Senior Rhodes this much?
Earlier she didn’t even know who he was, right?
This...
Isn’t her acting a bit over the top?
However, there wasn’t any sense of discord.
Is this another scheme in the making?
Cain Rhodes’ lips curled, his warmth broadening within his smile: "Miss Tiana, you’re too kind."
Tiana Thorne held his hand tightly, her demeanor reluctant to let go, her eyes filled with sweet fan-like admiration.
Yet no one knew the anger and sadness surging within her, slowly spreading...
This hypocritical man was truly a beast.
May Sloane, afraid of angering the senior, quickly tugged at the hem of her clothes: "It’s time to shoot, Tiana, maybe you should go through the script lines, rehearse a bit, so you don’t perform poorly in front of Senior Rhodes."
"Okay, okay..."
Still reluctant to let go.
Everyone felt quite helpless; even though Cain Rhodes was famously gentle, they feared angering him.
Thankfully, when May Sloane pulled at her clothes a second time, she let go, showing an apologetic smile.
Afterwards, everyone took their positions. Tiana Thorne, looking at the script, had her little fan girl pink gaze instantly fade; her body shivered slightly, overwhelmed with a cold intent, gripping the script tightly.
Seeing this, May Sloane was startled, quietly asking: "Tiana, what’s wrong with you?"
"May," Tiana Thorne softly spoke, her voice now hoarse.
May Sloane didn’t understand, but a vague, unspeakable premonition arose within her heart—very unpleasant and strong.
Her lips trembled, softly asking: "Did you foresee something? What did you find out..."
Tiana Thorne took a deep breath. Seeing her eyes filled with confusion and anticipation, along with a hint of fear, she suddenly felt reluctant to tell her.
The more it was like this, the more panicked May Sloane felt: "Tiana..."
She had never seen Tiana so serious, and this feeling made her uneasy.
Tiana Thorne narrowed her eyes, asking her: "Why do you admire him? I mean, Cain Rhodes."
May Sloane was stunned, momentarily confused: "Didn’t I just say earlier?"
"That’s just the image portrayed to the outside world; you haven’t really interacted with him. Think carefully, why?"
Tiana Thorne’s words seemed to awaken her.
Suddenly, May Sloane remembered past events, and a pain spread from her heart, something that seemed to have happened a decade ago.
"May?" Tiana Thorne pressed on; this question was very important.
May Sloane sighed lightly before speaking: "Admiration truly left an impression from ten years ago."
Tiana Thorne’s gaze shifted subtly, as if she confirmed something: "So that’s it..."
May Sloane looked at her, confused: "Tiana, did you foresee something about Senior Rhodes’s past?"
Tiana Thorne nodded. After confirming her words, she suddenly felt that revealing this to May was too cruel...
At that moment, May Sloane’s confused eyes instantly gleamed with joy, ignoring Tiana Thorne’s cold demeanor, excitedly asking: "Did you foresee a woman once appearing in his life?"
"Lily Sloane, correct?"
May Sloane’s eyes turned red, containing her excitement, nodding, even gripping her hand: "Yes, it’s her."
So it turns out her childhood suspicions weren’t wrong...
Seeing her like this, Tiana Thorne’s heart softened, gently ruffling her hair with sympathy: "She’s your sister, right?"
"Yes... Sister." May Sloane suddenly became docile, speaking with a former lack of luster in her eyes.
At this moment, the director called her name.
Tiana Thorne patted her shoulder gently, her voice soft: "Beautiful one, after we finish this scene, there’s something I need to tell you, so be prepared."
May Sloane looked up at her, blinking, her eyes full of anticipation: "Is it about my sister?"
Tiana Thorne nodded: "Yes."
May Sloane, considering Tiana’s previous demeanor and now her sympathetic gaze, suddenly felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
It certainly must be something bad.
Eugene Dawson hollered with a megaphone again: "Little demon fox, get in position, make sure to finish this scene before nightfall."
Tiana Thorne took one last deep look before jogging over.
Cain Rhodes was already on standby, as Tiana Thorne jogged over, the coldness in her eyes replaced by a naïve and bewildered expression.
She gently bowed to Cain Rhodes, politely and obediently: "Senior Rhodes, during the filming, if I accidentally hurt you, please forgive me."
"Focus solely, wholeheartedly doing one thing is the right way." Cain Rhodes replied warmly.
Tiana Thorne smiled: "Thank you, please guide me well."
After speaking, she returned to her chair and sat down, a basket in front of her containing needle and thread.
She held a piece of clothing in her hands, the light blue robe that Clement Xavier wore most in the play.
Every stitch, very carefully, very seriously.
Eugene Dawson, seeing that Tiana Thorne had already slipped into character, and Cain Rhodes was ready, then shouted: "Action!"
Tiana Thorne hummed an unknown tune while mending the garment, seemingly in high spirits; yet inside, she harbored a murderous intent.
Let her think, if this needle were to pierce Cain Rhodes’ flesh, could he still remain so fakely gentle?
Ha.
Today, she just had to do it!
