    Thest time she saw him like that was during her second TV

    drama.

    When Ka first arrived in the U.S., she signed with a rtively unknown talent agency.

    The agency itself was small, so naturally, it couldn’t offer her any high–profile opportunities.

    Back then, through a senior actor she met on her first project, she got introductions to various auditions.

    When she first started dating Calvin, she refused to let him chauffeur her around, afraid it would feel like she was being kept.

    She just wanted a simple rtionship with Calvin. Her attraction was pure–she liked his looks, and he wasn’t bad in bed either.

    She never wanted money toplicate things between them. 1/6

    For her second TV drama, she finallynded a supporting female role. Before signing the contract, the producer invited the main and supporting cast to dinner.

    It was Ka’s first time dining with a producer, and she was unaware of the unspoken rules.

    She hadn’t brought her agent–more urately, her agent didn’t think she was worth the effort.

    At first, the dinner was normal. But then, the producer’s hands grew bolder.

    Just as his wandering fingers reached for her thigh, Ka grabbed a ss of wine and poured it over his toupee.

    “Ka! Have you lost your mind?”

    Ka red, holding her breath. “Sir, behave yourself!”

    The producer, Carl Thomas, mmed his soaked wig onto the table. “Everyone, out!”

    No one spoke up for Ka. They all obediently filed out of the private room.

    Ka gripped her phone, about to call the police, when he snatched it and hurled it to the floor.

    “You pretentious bitch! Did you really think you’d get the role without sleeping with me?”

    A red handprint bloomed on her cheek, but she refused to back down, standing tall. “Carl, if youy a finger on me, I’ll tear a chunk of flesh from you before I die!”

    “Go ahead and scream. Let’s see who’ll help you. After I’m done, I’ll even call the police for you! Ka, you’re so naive.”

    Ka retreated step by step, her eyesnding on a vase. Without hesitation, she grabbed it and smashed it over Carl’s head.

    Dazed, blood streaming from his temple, Carl lunged at her, his grubby hands tearing at her clothes.

    “You bitch! I’ll strip you naked, take photos, and post them online. Let’s see how you’ll survive in this industry after that!”

    Just as Ka was on the verge of despair, Calvin kicked the door open.

    Like tonight, he pinned the creep to the ground and beat him. until his breath grew faint before others pulled him away.

    From then on, Calvin marked Ka as his.

    And that was the moment Ka truly fell for him.

    “Ka, I heard from Bruno’s father that you didn’t meet him yesterday?” Matilda probed cautiously.

    The mere thought that Bruno was Calvin’s best friend made Ka’s chest tighten.

    “Mom, I don’t think we’repatible. Let’s just drop it.”

    “How would you know if you haven’t even met him? You used to chase after him all the time as a kid–don’t you remember?”

    Ka would rather forget.

    She sighed helplessly, “Mom, that was ages ago, I was barely five.”

    “And that’s exactly what makes it childhood sweethearts!”

    Mark had already left for work, or Ka would’ve begged him 476

    Grudgingly, Bruno arrived at the restaurant, fulfilling his grandfather’s orders.

    Ka was already there when he arrived.

    “Hey, Ka.” Bruno greeted awkwardly.

    Ka smiled faintly, her tone polite but distant, “Hello.”

    Bruno cleared his throat. “I know the situation, so let’s just go through the motions, yeah?”

    Ka nodded. “Of course. Don’t worry–I’ll tell my family I’m not interested.”

    Bruno exhaled in relief. “Good. Sorry aboutst night. That guy’s barely alive now.”

    Ka frowned. “He couldn’t take a beating?”

    Bruno pressed his lips together.

    i“/iiCouldn’t /itake a beating” is an understatement.
