Chapter 228
For the next week, her schedule was packed with filming every day. In the evenings, she occasionally had to rehearse lines with other cast members.
Of course, as the male and female leads, Yvonne and Thomas spent the most time rehearsing together. But Yvonne was careful to maintain a professional distance, always bringing her assistant with her to Thomas’s room and never staying too late. The last thing Yvonne wanted was to be caught up in another scandal with Thomas. But working so closely together on set every day, they had managed to develop a decent rapport. As long as Thomas wasn’t constantly finding fault with her like he used to, Yvonne found she could be friends with him and coexist peacefully.
During filming, Thomas’ birthday came around.
Ms. Jane took the lead, ordering a cake and organizing a small birthday party for him with the entire cast and crew after they wrapped for the day.
However, Thomas’ actual birthday was the next day.
He had already requested the day off because the Taylor family was hosting a birthday banquet.
Thomas sent invitations to Ms. Jane, Yvonne, and a few other actors from the set he was close with.
Yvonne had no real desire to attend, but everyone else who was invited was going. If she didn’t show up, she could only imagine the stories the entertainment reporters would cook up.
Yvonne Skips Thomas’ Birthday Bash: Trouble on the Set of Ms. Jane’s New Film? Or maybe, Yvonne’s Advances on Award-Winning Actor Thomas Rejected, Love Turns to Hate. They would undoubtedly spin a tale more dramatic than any movie script.
Since Yvonne had been on set, she hadn’t had time to prepare a dress, so she left it to Sandra.
Sandra was always efficient and reliable. The next day, the gown, along with matching jewelry and shoes, was ready.
Yvonne changed into the low-cut evening gown Sandra had picked out. Her long hair was swept up into an elegant chignon, and the diamond necklace she wore sparkled brilliantly under the crystal lights. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ⓝovelFind.net
The makeup artist gave her a light, natural look that accentuated her stunning eyes, making them even more captivating.
“It’s just a birthday party. Is all of this really necessary?” Yvonne asked, habitually placing a hand over her chest to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions.
“This is Award-Winning Actor
Thomas we’re talking about, the young master of the prestigious Taylor family. His birthday party more than just a party. This is how you build connections in this

As she spoke, Sandra picked up the matching diamond earrings from the vanity and put them on Yvonne.
After helping Yvonne with her earrings, Sandra looked at her reflection in the mirror. The girl staring back was so young and beautiful, as warantas a blooming flower.
For some reason, an image of the other Yvonne’s beautiful, spirited face flashed in Sandra’s mind. Thề, two had nothing in common so why did she associate them?
Sandra shook her head, dismissing the absurd thought.
Thomas’ birthday banquet was held at a private club.
Only when Yvonne arrived did she realize the club was owned by Bennett’s cousin, Noah Thompson, and his wife, Karina White.
As the hosts of the venue, Noah and Karina were helping greet the guests.
“Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Thompson.” Yvonne spotted the couple as soon as she entered the banquet hall and went over to greet them.
“Ms. Jones, we meet again,” Noah said, swirling the crystal glass in his hand, a half- smile playing on his lips as he looked at Yvonne.
Yvonne, however, was unfazed, perhaps because she remembered the Noah from her past as a friendly, older-brother figure.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yvonne excused herself to find Thomas with her gift.
Since she was attending his birthday party, she ought to find the man of the hour first and give him his present.
Noah’s gaze followed Yvonne as she ascended the wooden staircase, not looking away. Seeing this, Karina pretended to be annoyed and lightly pinched his arm.
