Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 595: Set Visit

Every time he made a move, Selena would push him away without mercy.

At first, Sterling thought Selena wasn’t interested, but after it happened a few times, he started to have doubts.

Could it be that his wife is just getting lazy?

After all, since her birthday, Selena hadn’t left the house.

Today, her visit to Stardust Entertainment was the first time she stepped out in half a month.

But seeing Selena genuinely exhausted, Sterling gave up on his thoughts.

Forget it, let her be.

By Saturday afternoon, Selena contacted Clement Luther.

"Where are you now?"

After leaving the main residence, Selena called Clement Luther.

"You go ahead, I still have a meeting here that’s not finished."

Clement’s helpless voice came through from the other end of the phone.

Even through the screen, Selena could hear the helplessness in his words.

Selena nodded, "Okay, I’ll head over there. Come when you’re done."

She wasn’t all that surprised.

When Sterling first officially became the head of the Norwood Family, he was also very busy with work.

After hanging up the phone, Selena headed alone to the filming location of "Star of Entertainment."

"Star of Entertainment" had rented an estate on the outskirts of Aethelgard for filming.

It wasn’t far from the Norwood Family, and since there were few cars and traffic lights in the suburbs, Selena arrived in just over ten minutes.

Once she reached the estate, Selena parked her car and walked over.

As she walked, she sent a message to Vivian Sutton.

[Selie Stays Slim]: I’m at the entrance.

After sending the message, she continued forward.

At the entrance, security personnel stopped her, "Hello, please show your ID."

The security looked at Selena several times, somewhat uncertainly, and asked, "Are you... are you Selena?!"

His tone carried a hint of surprise.

Selena smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"I’m here to visit the set."

Sometimes, being recognized works better than having an ID.

The security recognized Selena and didn’t check her ID.

"Please, go ahead. Do you need someone to show you the way?"

Selena smiled and shook her head, "No, thanks."

Then she went inside.

The advantage of this estate is that it’s quite spacious.

It can accommodate contestants’ daily training and some filming sessions.

There’s a grassy clearing outfitted with training equipment in front of the estate.

In front are the contestants’ dormitory, filming sites, and accommodation for the show staff.

After walking a short distance inside, Selena saw Vivian Sutton walking out of the dormitory.

At that time, in this wide-open space, it was just Selena and a few sparse staff, so Vivian noticed her immediately.

"Selie, I’m here!!!!"

Vivian then ran over.

Arriving in front of Selena, she was slightly out of breath.

"You really are a true friend, but Clem ditched me!"

Vivian had just received a call from Clement Luther, so she grumbled a bit.

Selena smiled and gave her a sidelong glance.

Though Vivian was complaining about Clement, her face didn’t show any real disappointment.

It was obvious she was saying one thing but feeling another.

Vivian linked her arm with Selena’s and they walked further in.

"Hey, why do you want to see Annelise Mayfield? Trying to poach her or something?"

Vivian curiously asked.

Vivian wasn’t aware of the details between Selena and the Mayfield Family, so she was curious when Selena wanted to visit the set and specifically see Annelise.

Selena shook her head slightly, "No."

"I just want to confirm some things."

To confirm Annelise Mayfield’s reason for coming to Aethelgard.

"Oh..."

Though Vivian didn’t fully understand, she didn’t ask further.

She and Selena walked into the building in front of them.

"This way."

Vivian led Selena to take a different path.

As they walked, Vivian explained to Selena, "A lot of contestants usually pass through that path. Though many have left since the semi-finals are coming, there are still quite a few people."

"You know, if you show up, they’ll all surely swarm you trying to get close."

Vivian shrugged, very familiar with such matters.

Selena smiled at her, "You’ve matured quite a bit..."

Vivian’s mouth twitched slightly, "Your words sound so old-fashioned, and are you saying I was immature before?!"

Selena nodded with mock seriousness.

Which almost made Vivian pull her aside for a playful tussle in the corridor.

After chatting for a while, Vivian brought up Annelise Mayfield.

"Annelise doesn’t seem to like staying around those people; she always stays in a fixed classroom."

"Initially, a lot of people tried to get on her good side, but after she made her stance clear, they stopped trying."

Selena nodded slightly.

After walking for a bit, Vivian pointed toward a slightly open door ahead.

"She’s in there."

"But there are cameras inside, and someone’s always watching; you’d better be careful."

Vivian had already assumed some conflict existed between Selena and Annelise, thus the reminder.

Selena looked at her speechlessly, "Do I look like I’m here to cause trouble?"

"...That’s hard to say."

Remembering Selena’s earlier words, Vivian seized the chance and didn’t hold back. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Selena glanced around the hallway on their floor.

There were only one or two cameras at the corners.

Where they stood was in the middle of the corridor, and unless they spoke loudly, the cameras wouldn’t pick up their conversation.

Realizing this, Selena didn’t rush in.

"Then I won’t go in; you can call her out for me."

Selena said slowly.

This time, it was Vivian who was shocked.

"No way, are you really here to pick a fight?!"

She had just casually commented earlier, not expecting Selena’s approach to confirm her suspicion...

Selena rolled her eyes, "No."

"It’s just that my conversation with her isn’t suitable for others to hear."

With that explanation, Vivian understood.

However, after a moment, she spoke again, hesitantly, "But, Annelise doesn’t seem easy to approach. Since the contest started, I’ve only spoken to her a few times. Would she come if I called her?"

Selena’s eyes flickered, "You can tell her that I’m looking for her."

She was probing. If Annelise left the room upon hearing her name, it meant her reason for coming to Aethelgard was related to Selena.

Hearing this, Vivian grew more curious about Selena and Annelise’s relationship.

But observing Selena’s expression, she refrained from asking.

"Alright then, wait here for me."

Then Vivian went to call Annelise.

After waiting one or two minutes, the classroom door opened.

Annelise followed behind Vivian and came out.
