Chapter 339
It was painful for Ariana to lie that she had money, and only God knew the depth of her pain.
Deep down, she wished that Theodore would offer her the money again, and she would not transfer it back.
Theodore noticed that something was amiss and asked, “Where are the other members of your crew staying?”
Ariana fidgeted with the edge of her pajamas before reluctantly revealing, “They’re all in standard rooms.
Francis, the director, seems to have issues with Tyler and me.
He even gave us the wrong gathering time yesterday.
”
Theodore’s expression turned grim as he realized that Ariana was being singled out.
“I’ll arrange for you to switch rooms.
You can’t stay in such a terrible place.
” He scowled as he heard noises from the adjacent room again, adding, “If you don’t move out, you won’t get any rest tonight.
”
Ariana checked the time and sighed, “It’s too late now.
We have to wake up early tomorrow, and we won’t have enough time to rest even if we change rooms.
Let’s forget about it.
I’ll take Tyler to another hotel tomorrow.
”
Observing the exhaustion on Ariana’s face, Theodore decided not to push the matter further.
“It’s getting late.
I’m going to bed.
Good night.
”
They ended the call, but Ariana found it difficult to doze off despite being tired.
All she could think about were the words Theodore had just spoken, claiming that she was his wife.
Ariana’s heart started racing, and with the added element of Theodore’s recent odd behavior, she couldn’t help but wonder if he was developing feelings for her too.
With a frustrated groan, she buried her face in her pillow.
“Damn it! I can’t seem to fall asleep tonight.
All I can think about is Theodore.

In a dazed state, Ariana fell asleep.
She woke up shortly after four o’clock in the morning, still dark outside.
She yawned, scratched her messy hair, and got out of bed.
Then she washed her face, brushed her teeth, changed into a comfortable woolen dress, and went out with two bottles of milk and a bag of bread.
She gently knocked on Tyler’s door, and he answered, already washed up and looking good.
Ariana handed Tyler the food in her hand and mumbled, “Being young is great.
You can wake up early and not feel tired.
”
“You’re not much older than me,” Tyler said with a shy smile, handing her a bottle of milk with a straw.
Ariana smiled and gestured toward the drink.
“You can have it.
Once you’re done, we can head over to the studio.
”
Tyler nodded and ate his breakfast silently.
Ariana sat on the sofa, propping her head up.
She didn’t remember when she fell asleep last night, but she had a light sleep anyway.
She planned to apply for an assistant for Tyler in two days, so she could occasionally ask the assistant to keep an eye on him.
After finishing breakfast, Tyler tiptoed over to the sofa where Ariana was sleeping.
