In the van, Rylee knew that his girl was using her silence to express her displeasure.
Rhianna sighed inwardly. Rylee following her around could only mean trouble.
Rylee poured some water from his thermos and handed it to Rhianna.
Rhianna, too tired to argue with Rylee, naturally accepted the water and took a sip.
Lauryn stood at the car door, hesitating. She couldn't understand why she felt so reluctant to get in. Why was she afraid of a mere bodyguard?
Just then, Rylee's phone rang at an inconvenient time.
Rhianna watched him answer the call, his expression turning serious.
The call lasted only two minutes. Rylee hung up and walked toward the girl, and Rhianna instinctively stepped back.
He didn't press further, simply reached out and gently pressed down on her head.
"I have to leave for a while. Take care of yourself."
With that, he turned and left.
Rhianna watched his retreating figure through the car window, remembering how in her past life she had seen Rylee's back under such situation countless times.
Because it was only when he turned his back to her that she felt she might possess him.
But why, when she was finally ready to let go, did they still end up so entangled?

Lauryn watched Rylee get out of the car and leave hurriedly, finally regaining her position.
"Sweetheart, are you feeling better?" Lauryn was still concerned about Rhianna's health. After all, some of the young entertainer she managed ate only a few salad a day to lose weight. While physique was important in their line of work, health was even more crucial.
Lauryn was not one to mistreat her entertainer.
Rhianna felt even guiltier for troubling Lauryn.
"Lauryn, I'm fine. I can start filming."
Rhianna knew she shouldn't let her personal matters delay the shoot. Fortunately, the upcoming projects went very smoothly.
However, Javion silently worried by her side, his subtle expressions and actions captured on camera. The post-production edits made these moments a hit on the internet once the show aired.
The subsequent success of "Unspoken Temptation" had fans dubbing them the "Sibling Couple," with fan-created content flooding various websites.
Although there was undoubtedly some company marketing involved—after all, making a newcomer known wasn't easy—Rhianna knew that if she truly wanted to make a mark in her acting career, relying solely on creating ship content wouldn't be sustainable. She needed to deliver outstanding performances to satisfy her fans.
Javion, after gaining massive popularity, received numerous offers for movies and TV shows. He was always focused on his acting skills, and joining the variety show was a coincidence. Of course, in the process, he met someone who moved his heart. But he wanted to wait to be successful enough to confess to her, believing that only then would he be worthy of her.

Rylee's departure this time lasted four months.
Rhianna's life continued as usual, though thoughts of him occasionally disturbed her peace.
She had thought they were destined to part ways, yet they seemed to be getting closer.
Recently, Rhianna had been busy promoting "Unspoken Temptation," appearing on numerous variety shows. The series had achieved phenomenal success online, even securing a TV broadcast after its web debut.
Rhianna was exhausted, with hardly a moment to rest.
However, Lauryn's scheduling was sensible. After the promotional activities and subsequent events concluded, Lauryn granted Rhianna a three-day break.
Soon, the next phase of work would begin, and Rhianna knew she couldn't go out freely anymore, given her rising public profile.
On her first day off, she indulged in a rare chance to sleep in.
But the obnoxious doorbell disrupted her sleep. Rhianna peered through the peephole.
It was a delivery man.
"Hello, you have a package that requires immediate signature!"
