I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 272 Sheena reached into the car’s glove compartment and handed him a tube of anti-

inflammatory cream, saying, “I bought this for you on the way. Put some on in the break room at the set and rest up. I'll give you a day off today, but you must catch up on the shooting schedule afterward.”

Skye, touched by her concern, exclaimed, “Sheena, you're always the one who cares the most about me! I'll forever be loyal to you!”

“Quit being cheesy and go,” Sheena replied.

Skye grinned, about to open the car door, then turned back and said, “If | manage to shoot today and try not to delay the schedule, can you accompany me to the charity gala tonight?”

At this point, it was clear he wanted her to go. Sheena nodded. “Sure.” Once Skye happily walked away, she called Ford.

“Arrange for someone to keep an eye on Eugene Perez at the hospital. When he’s ready to leave, make sure to put a sack over his head and give him another beating. | think he quite likes staying in the hospital. Remember not to leave any marks or evidence.”

Who could this ‘someone be?

As he pondered, Elijah’s phone rang. Checking the caller ID, he noticed it was someone he had not interacted with since saving the number—Bethany.

Elijah answered the call, and Bethany’s laughter sounded. “Elijah, it’s been so many years. | wonder if you still remember me?” “What is it?” Elijah got straight to the point, his tone icy.

Bethany continued to laugh. “Oh, Elijah, you're still as aloof as ever, but | do have an actual

matter to discuss with you. There’s a charity gala tonight, and | sincerely invite you to be my plus—one.”

Elijah’s brow twitched, an unmistakable expression of disdain. He was about to decisively decline when Bethany, as if anticipating his response, quickly spoke up.

“Elijah, don’t be too hasty to refuse. From what I’ve heard, Sheena will attend the charity gala with Mr. Zimmer, and he treats her quite attentively.”

With those words, Elijah fell into silence.

Bethany continued, “One owns Angle Group, and the other represents Angle Group. If there’s any intimate behavior at the banquet, wouldn’t rumors of their relationship become viral online because of their age gap? Elijah, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
