Chapter 1198

Cheating

To her surprise, a lady answered the call.

“May I know who this is?” the lady asked in a Lightspring accent.

Arielle’s words were stuck in her throat.

Why did a woman answer the phone?

As far as Arielle was aware, after a female assistant made things difficult for her, Vinson fired all his
female assistants and hired only males.

The woman who had answered the call wasn’t his assistant.

Who is she? It’s nighttime at Lightspring. A woman is answering his phone at night…

She couldn’t help but overthink the situation.

However, Arielle forced herself to calm down. She trusted Vinson enough to know he wasn’t a scoundrel.
She also trusted her taste.

This must be a misunderstanding.

Taking a deep breath, Arielle asked calmly, “I’m looking for Vinson. Why do you have his phone?”

“Oh, Vinson is changing his clothes. It might take a while for him to come out,” came the answer.

Hearing that, Arielle went pale.

Changing his clothes?



The woman added, “Why don’t you cut the line? I’ll ask him to call you back after he finished changing
his clothes.”

“No need!” Arielle blurted out.

She was so flustered and furious, unlike her usual composed self. Even her brain was muddled.

Biting her lip, she declared, “It’s nothing important, so there’s no need to bother him. Don’t tell him I’ve
called.”

“Huh? All right.” The woman hung up in confusion.

Arielle gripped her phone as her entire being shook.

She didn’t know whether she was trembling out of anger or fear, for her mind was a mess.

Just then, a call from Sam, the director, came in.

Arielle answered the call instinctively, and Sam’s voice rang out. “I’m sorry for disturbing you this late,
Ms. Moore. I just want to confirm if you’re rejecting the offer to join my film. I’ve been looking for a
suitable actress to take up the role, but to no avail. You’re the only one that suits the role. That’s why I’m
making this call.”

Sam’s call would’ve made any female celebrity leap up in excitement, but Arielle merely answered coolly,
“I’m sorry, but I’m really busy…”

“Oh, I see.” Sam seemed disappointed at her answer. “I’ll have to wait for another chance to work with
you. I’m willing to withstand the pressure to keep this role for you.”

It was obvious what Sam meant—he wouldn’t film the movie if Arielle refused to take up the main role.



Finally, Arielle regained some of her composure after hearing his words.

“Mr. Sleight, I’m sorry. Thanks for the offer, though.”

“It’s fine. You’re fated to take up the role, but I’m not fated to work with you. However, I’ll wait until the
opportunity arrives.”

Arielle bit her lip and fell into deep thought. Wait, if Vinson cheated on me, I can’t fall into a slump and
lose myself. I need to keep myself busy during this critical period.

At that thought, she took a deep breath and announced, “Mr. Sleight, I shall accept this role. When will
filming begin?”
