Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Sherilyn just shrugged with a smile, asking, "So, what brings you here?"

"Oh." Karol made a face and pointed towards the next set, "I've got a cameo in a show these days." "Ms. Gomez!"

From the other side, a crew member waved at her.

"Coming!"

Sherilyn responded, putting down her coffee mug and glanced at Karol, "Sorry, gotta head over."

"No worries, go ahead!"

Karol waved her off, watching Sherilyn stand up and walk away, but she didn't immediately leave.

Her gaze towards Sherilyn slowly became distant, her hands clenched tighter.

"Excuse me, may I ask..."

Someone called from behind. Karol turned around, her eyes widening in surprise, a smile breaking out.

"Mr. Harrison."

"..." Gilbert paused, frowning slightly.

"Yeah, it's me, Karol."

Karol looked at him intently, "Don't you remember? I'm with Nexus Media Group. We had dinner together once..."

Seeing the man's impatient look, Karol quickly stopped herself, her eyes darting around.

"You're here for Sherilyn, right?"

At the mention of Sherilyn's name, Gilbert's expression softened, finally acknowledging her presence.

"Is she here?"

"Yes, exactly!"

Karol quickly pulled out a chair, gesturing for Gilbert to sit, "She's busy over there, this is where she was sitting." She pointed in a direction.

Gilbert looked over to where Sherilyn was posing for a photoshoot.

Since she was busy, he decided to wait.

"Thank you."

He thanked her and took a seat.

"Mr. Harrison." Karol fetched a glass of water for him, handing it over, "Please, have some water."

"Thank you."

Gilbert took the water, placing it on the table beside him without intending to drink.

Then, he looked towards Sherilyn again, ignoring Karol from that point on.

Suddenly, the director called for a pause.

"Let's discuss this further in a moment..."

"Alright."

A disagreement between the crew and the sponsors caused a temporary halt to the shooting.

Sherilyn sighed in relief and walked aside to take a break.

"Sherilyn!" From afar, Karol, standing on her toes, excitedly waved at her.

Sherilyn nodded, about to head over.

Out of nowhere, a figure rushed towards her.

Sherilyn didn't see it coming, nor did she hear the shout clearly, "Shameless manipulator!"

Then, a bucket of ice water was thrown at her face!

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Sherilyn couldn't. dodge in time and gasped as the icy ched her, ice cubes and

all

The cold made Sherilyn gasp for air.

What was happening? Who would douse her with ice water?

"Sherilyn!"

Under the sunshade, Gilbert saw everything and immediately stood up, rushing over.

"Mr. Harrison!"

Karol followed him, jogging to catch up.

"Who are you?"

Sherilyn, dripping wet, wiped her face, looking astonished at the person in front of her.

It was a young girl, glaring at her with resentment, as if harboring a deep grudge.

"You don't need to know who I am! How about that? Did the ice water feel good? Did it wake you up? Always stealing from others, shameless woman!"

What?

Sherilyn was baffled. She

d each word, but strunget y made no sense to her.

"What have I stolen from you?"

"Sherilyn!"

Gilbert approached them.

"Look!" The girl pointed at Gilbert, "It's him!"
