The next morning, Dolores got up from bed, her eyes dull and lifeless.
When the agent came to pick her up from work, she was startled by her appearance.
âWhat are you doing?! What happened last night?â
With a surprised face, she immediately frowned, âDid you have a fight with Mr. Jiang?â
After saying that, she continued, âAlthough I do dislike him, you canât let him affect your work today! You already took a day off yesterday, you canât take another day off todayâŠâ
The agent said a bunch of things, but Dolores did not even come back to her senses.
The agent was speechless at the sight of her dazed appearance.
However, this situation had happened once or twice before. If she continued to nag, Dolores would be angry.
So, the agent just said a little more, and then shut up.
Dolores went out with the agent and continued to remain lost in thought.
When she arrived at the set, her phone rang while she was putting on makeup.
Looking at the number on it, Dolores froze for a moment before picking it up.
âDolores, did you sleep well last night?â Xia Xibeiâs cheerful voice came from the other end.
âIt was okay,â Dolores hesitated for a moment before she spoke.
âIâm going back to Hua tomorrow. If you need anything, you can call me!â Xia Xibeiâs smiling voice came. âIf you need anything at all, just let me know!â
âOkayâŠâ
After hanging up the phone, Dolores still hadnât come back to her senses.
After a while, she woke up with a jolt.
Did Xia Xibei meanâŠ
Her reaction startled the makeup artist and she almost screamed.
âWhatâs wrong?â The makeup artist got worried. She didnât use too much force in applying makeup, right?
âItâs nothing.â
Dolores shook her head and collected her thoughts. But the rest of the day, she was a little distracted.
If it wasnât for strong self-control, she probably wouldnât have been able to continue with this shoot.
It was hard to pass the time, and she finally found a chance to call Xia Xibei.
On the other end of the line, Xia Xibei showed a winning smile.
She had only brought the parasite compulsion in Dolores under control, not killed the parasite.
In this case, Jiang Rongguang could not use the compulsion to control Dolores.
At the same time, because the parasite did not die, Jiang Rongguang would not know the changes in Dolores.
As long as the parasite was not doing anything, Jiang Rongguang would not think too much about it.
Therefore, Xia Xibei was not worried about Doloresâ situation.
Besides, Dolores was mature and flexible in coping; she should know how to face this situation.
Now, Doloresâ call came.
The two of them arranged to meet in the evening.
Around eight oâclock, Dolores arrived, looking a bit pale.
âHave a seat,â Xia Xibei said. âHow about some of yesterdayâs tea?â
Without waiting for Dolores to reply, she poured the tea.
Placing the tea in front of Dolores, Xia Xibeiâs expression was so normal that no problem was visible.
âWell, if thereâs anything I can help you with, just tell me,â Xia Xibei showed a small smile.
Dolores looked at the flower tea in front of her and was silent for a long time before she spoke.
âDo you⊠Know the problem with me?â
âWhat problem do you mean?â Xia Xibei asked instead of answering.
âItâs⊠IâŠâ Dolores hesitated for a while, but could not find the right words. âI donât know. Itâs just that many things changed when I went back⊠Yesterday.â
She looked nervously at Xia Xibei, âCan you help me answer?â
