There was a look of determination in the eyes of both women, with an added touch of coldness in Abby Sawyer’s gaze.

"The times I’ve endured silently before were because I respected you as a senior, so I didn’t expose you," Abby Sawyer said, "but don’t push it too far."

Angel twisted her wrist, trying to break free, but didn’t expect her grip to be so strong!

After a moment, when Angel’s arrogance had noticeably waned, Abby finally let go of her hand, "Stop slapping people whenever you like; it doesn’t make you superior."

After speaking, Abby stepped away, not wanting to entangle herself further with her.

When Abby came out, she didn’t encounter Anton Miller.

Angel stood there, looking at her wrist, reddened from the grip, utterly surprised at Abby Sawyer’s strength!

Abby also didn’t text Tess, her mood thoroughly disrupted by Angel, hoping that today’s warning had some effect on her.

Abby returned to the dining table with a smile, as if nothing had happened, while Anton Miller sat gentlemanly, sipping tea, also as if he hadn’t heard anything.

He couldn’t discern any waves of emotion on her face, but the words she spoke to Angel just now fit her character perfectly.

Anton Miller felt a growing familiarity with her; the determined and stubborn Abby of the past was back.

"Abby, what’s your dream?" Anton Miller initiated the conversation again, wanting to understand her a bit more.

But inadvertently, as he lifted his gaze, he noticed a reporter hiding not far away, snapping photos of him and her with a camera.

Anton Ford was slightly taken aback, but his emotions showed no change.

He hadn’t arranged for the reporter, but he didn’t stop them either, nor did he alert Abby.

"My dream, well, it changes with my state of mind. Does that sound childish?" Abby responded.

"Not at all, I’m the same way."

Tess Tate and Jerry Garcia seemed to have vanished, not having come in all this time...

Meanwhile, Anton Ford and Abby chatted for nearly an hour.

The topic Anton Ford started with eventually revolved around "Best Mates", discussing the scenes to be filmed the next day...

This way, she wouldn’t feel awkward, as if there were an ocean in front of her, and he had turned on the faucet, allowing water to flow endlessly.

There’s no denying that Anton Miller was a master at conversation; he never let the atmosphere grow cold.

Whenever it came to a girl he liked, he would put in the effort.

After Angel came out, she made an excuse about not feeling well, bid farewell to the director, and turned to leave. She wouldn’t let Abby Sawyer detect her relationship with the director or let this woman catch any leverage against her.

When they came out, Tess had already driven Abby’s car away... and Jerry was nowhere to be seen, which left her slightly bewildered.

"Shall I drive you back?" Anton Ford was quite straightforward as he turned to the girl, "Where do you live?"

Recently, due to their interactions, Abby had a changed impression of this man.

Thus, having him take her home didn’t meet with any resistance in her heart.

"It’s alright, I’ll catch a cab myself; you must be busy, and I wouldn’t want to delay you," she spoke earnestly.

"We’re friends. Do you think I’d let you take a cab home by yourself?" Anton Miller asked softly, stepping forward to open the passenger door, "Get in?" Then he smiled at her, "Don’t be so polite with me."

Meeting his gaze, Abby couldn’t find the words to refuse, so she got into his car, "Thank you."

As Anton Ford closed her car door, the corner of his eye caught sight of the still-photographing journalist in the distance. Yet, he said nothing.

Instead, he quickly returned to the driver’s seat, with a gentle expression, he turned to ask, "Where does Ms. Sawyer live?"
