The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 20: Restless with Thoughts of You Late into the Night
Yolanda Sawyer leaned in to look at the pinyin on the keyboard, slightly frowned, and typed out a sentence with her thumb, thinking for a moment before sending an emoji.
Yolanda Sawyer was satisfied as she looked over the message she sent several times, smiling contentedly.
When she handed the phone to Ian Rowe, she didn’t forget to give some advice: "I’ve watched plenty of those relationship videos, and girls won’t like you if you just send a few cold words like that. What do people online call someone like you..."
Yolanda Sawyer glanced at Erin Hayes beside her, and then recalled: "Straight man... Yes, straight man! You should use more duplicate words, send more emojis, then you wouldn’t worry about your wife not liking you!"
Ian Rowe glanced over the chat interface, his eyes deepening. But when he saw the spirited look on Yolanda Sawyer’s face, he couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile, looking as if he had learned something: "I’ve noted it down."
Yolanda Sawyer nodded repeatedly.
Actually, her memory wasn’t as good as it used to be, recently she had been bedridden and paid little attention to outside matters, but in her memory, Maya Monroe had always been a pretty and innocent good girl.
At first, the marriage between Ian Rowe and Maya Monroe was her call, initially being let down by the thing with Maya Monroe pretending to be pregnant, but she got over it quickly. Ian Rowe wasn’t young, his career was booming, and according to the saying "start a family before building a career," it was time to marry.
Yolanda Sawyer clearly knew a wife was someone who could accompany Ian Rowe until old age, Maya Monroe liked Ian Rowe so much, she was a good choice.
Upon thinking this, Yolanda Sawyer said: "Bring Maya back to see me when you have time, my health has improved a lot, I’m not afraid of spreading illness to her anymore."
Ian Rowe nodded in agreement.
Yolanda Sawyer didn’t sit for long, and she felt discomfort in her neck, instructing Erin Hayes to adjust the cushion, and lay back on the chair once again.
"Eric will be returning from abroad in a few days, he’s finished his studies, and in theory, I shouldn’t stop him from chasing his dreams. But you also know his temperament isn’t suitable for the chaotic entertainment industry. He doesn’t want to work for the company, find him another task..."
Yolanda Sawyer remembered something and teased him: "I heard you’ve been practicing cooking hard for my birthday banquet recently? Grandma understands your filial piety, but safety comes first, after all, you’ve blown up more than one kitchen."
Upon hearing about cooking, Ian Rowe’s thoughts drifted a bit.
The food he made could only be eaten by Maya Monroe, despite how awful it was, she could eat it, every time she would reluctantly act like she loved it.
Why?
Was it because she didn’t want to hurt his self-esteem?
Ian Rowe recalled a comment almost everyone around him had said: Maya Monroe likes him very much...
After so many days, this was the first time Ian Rowe thought of Maya Monroe, his thoughts wandered unexpectedly.
Ian Rowe finally restrained his emotions, saying: "On the day of the birthday banquet, I’ll bring her to see Grandma."

Maya Monroe had just finished today’s shooting when her assistant named Lauren Brooks handed her a bottle of water.
Scott was busy with other things, and surrounded by other assistants.
Maya Monroe saw it was mineral water but took it anyway.
She couldn’t shake her love for drinks.
Maya Monroe took a moment to check her phone, switched to the chat interface with Ian Rowe, and almost spat out her drink.
[Ian Rowe: Hmm hmm, good baby, I miss you, miss you so much I toss and turn at night]
[Ian Rowe: (Miss you jpg)]
Maya Monroe put down the cup, wondering if Ian Rowe went crazy? Such greasy words didn’t seem like something he would say.
Could it be a message meant for some little flirt that got sent to her by mistake?
Maya Monroe read that sentence and couldn’t help but laugh.
Her gaze moved to the animated emoji, a lotus slowly blooming, with the words "miss you" glowing in multiple colors, as if they could blind at any moment.
Maya Monroe laughed even more happily.
She thought Ian Rowe was a lofty flower, but who would have thought he had the old cadre style.
Maya Monroe clicked her tongue twice, finding it hard to link these two messages with Ian Rowe’s handsome face and decisive personality.
This contrast provided Maya Monroe with ample laughter, and she took another sip of water.
Suddenly, she heard a message alert.
Maya Monroe focused and saw it was another message from Ian Rowe.
[Ian Rowe: In five days, come with me to the old residence for the birthday banquet]
The tone was so concise that there wasn’t an extra punctuation mark.
This was more like Ian Rowe’s style.
Maya Monroe thought about it, in five days she didn’t have any scenes, even if she did, it didn’t matter.
She wouldn’t miss the chance of an oily Ian Rowe delivered to her.
[Pretty baby: Okay～]
Maya Monroe recalled what just happened, holding a playful thought.
[Pretty baby: Link]
Ian Rowe responded quickly.
[Ian Rowe: What is this]
[Pretty baby: This is a link to puppy emojis, dear, your emojis are too hip, they can’t compare to puppies’ cuteness. Trust me, use puppy emojis, and chatting with your partners will be delightful! You’ll sign contracts until your hands are sore!]
[Pretty baby: Dear, if you don’t like puppy emojis, I have cat emojis too. Do you want the link? (Wagging tail JPG)]
Ian Rowe didn’t reply for a long time, Maya Monroe could almost imagine his expression now.
She felt instantly brightened, the exhaustion from shooting dissipated.
The assistant next to her saw she seemed to have finished dealing with matters and asked: "Sister Maya, should we pack up and head back to the hotel now?"
Maya Monroe nodded: "Remember to arrange dinner for me, get the menu from Scott."
Before going to bed, Maya Monroe finally saw a message sent by Ryan Spencer, he said that Madeline Underwood would be coming to film her scenes tomorrow, advising Maya not to conflict with her. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Madeline Underwood...
It was rare for Maya Monroe to spare a thought for this person before sleeping.
Madeline Underwood was the original antagonist, both debuted around the same time, being both striking beauties with slightly similar personas, they were inevitably pitted against each other.
Especially as Madeline Underwood once sought the opportunity to become an artist under Ryan Spencer but was rejected. While the original was noticed by Ryan due to her stunning beauty.
Thus began their rivalry, filled with various open and hidden struggles.
But every time, the original would end up losing, her beauty couldn’t save her intelligence.
Now, Madeline Underwood was a big shot, specially invited to play a role in "Wandering Beyond the Horizon." In contrast, Maya Monroe was still a scandal-plagued vase.
Maya Monroe smacked her lips, recalling the story in which Madeline Underwood would become Kiki Monroe’s good friend.
The two would hit it off on set, Kiki’s kind and hardworking nature was rare in the entertainment industry, her untainted qualities naturally attracted Madeline.
All these were words from the book.
Maya Monroe turned off the light.
Tomorrow would be another day of acting.
