Evans nodded. “It’s good that you think that way. For your sister’s safety, what’s wrong with you lying a little?”

Audrey finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll pretend to be sick.”

Evans told her the details of pretending to be sick, before changing the topic to the short drama script.

“I believe in your ability,” Evans said with a smile. “We plan to start filming next week. I wonder if your schedule is suitable?”

Audrey naturally wouldn’t say that she wasn’t free. “I can be there anytime.”

“Alright.” Evans smiled. “Audrey, I’m looking forward to your performance.”

When Audrey returned to the hotel, Charlotte was standing in front of the wardrobe, tidying up her clothes.

“Ah, Audrey, you’re back,” Charlotte said with a smile. “Come and take a look. Do the hiking boots I bought for you look good?”

Audrey walked to Charlotte’s side with a heavy heart. Seeing her pick up the pair of rose-red boots, Audrey’s heart couldn’t help but ache.

In order not to let Charlotte see through her, Audrey smiled happily and said, “Sister, I really like this pair of boots. Thank you!”

“It’s good that you like it.” Charlotte tidied up her clothes and said, “We’ll leave at seven tomorrow. Remember to sleep early tonight. Don’t stay in bed.”

“Alright.” Audrey nodded obediently.

Looking at Charlotte’s busy figure, Audrey couldn’t help but secretly clench her fists.

Trying to seduce her sister?

Pfft, he could dream on!

At ten in the evening, Charlotte turned off the lights and went to bed. Seeing that Audrey was still sitting on the bed playing with her phone, she couldn’t help but advise, “Audrey, remember to sleep early. You have to wake up early tomorrow.”

Audrey replied, “I’m talking to the producer about the script. I’ll sleep later.”

Only then did Charlotte close her eyes.

At this moment, Audrey was chatting with Evans.

Evans: “How are you going to feign sickness to lie to your sister?”

Audrey: I can complain about having cramps. After all, I’m a woman. There will always be those few days every month.

Evans’ face suddenly turned red.

Audrey continued sending him messages.

Audrey: Ah, no, I don’t think this idea will work. My sister is also a woman. She has lived with me for so long. If I say that I have cramps, she will definitely sense that something is wrong.

Evans: Then what are your plans?

Audrey: Let me think about it.

Evans: Why don’t you use the same plan as before?

Audrey: Pretending to have cramps?

Evans: Just like you said, women always have a few days. Even if it’s occasionally not on time, is it normal?

Audrey came to a realization.

Audrey: Kid, you know quite a lot.

Evans was stunned by Audrey’s sudden teasing.

Why did he feel that their relationship seemed to have gotten closer?

However, that did not seem to be a bad thing.

Evans smiled at his phone.

When the sky was about to brighten, Audrey got up sleepily and tiptoed to the bathroom.

She looked at the faucet in front of her, then scooped a basin of cold water without hesitation and poured it on her feet.

Ah, so cold.

Audrey’s entire body trembled before she poured a basin of cold water on her feet.

It was March in Country Z now. Although it was as warm as spring during the day, it was still a little cold at night.

Audrey quickly sniffed.

She tiptoed back to bed and then lay on the covers for a good half hour. Only when she couldn’t help but sneeze did she pull the covers over herself.

Although she had to pretend that her stomach hurt, Audrey had to make her face look very pale in order to make it more realistic.

However, after her “self-torture” behavior just now, Audrey suddenly felt a little worried. Would she catch a cold or a fever?

Soon, Audrey’s worries were fulfilled.

At dawn, Charlotte got out of bed. Just as she called out “Audrey” twice, she heard her sneeze.

“Darling, what’s wrong?” Charlotte quickly ran to her bedside.

When she lifted the blanket, she saw Audrey curled up into a ball with a pale face.

Charlotte was so frightened that she hurriedly probed Audrey’s forehead.

It was a little hot.

“Sis…” Audrey’s voice was nasal. “I think I’ve caught a cold…”

Audrey had originally wanted to make her face pale, but she didn’t expect her to overdo it, resulting in a cold and a fever!

Charlotte looked at her younger sister with a worried expression. Soon, she rummaged around for the thermometer and pills.

“I was fine, but I’m actually sick now… What a coincidence,” she said.
