The next morning, the sunshine quietly slipped through the gaps in the hotel curtains, gently spilling onto the hardwood floor of the room.
Li Jing leisurely woke up to find Zhou Yingying beside him, dressed in seductive nightwear.
She was sitting on the edge of the bed talking on the phone, her expression a mix of hesitation and anticipation.
Zhou Yingying was supposed to go to the film set today, but all she could think about now was spending time with Li Jing.
She pondered for a while, weighing the pros and cons in her mind, before finally gathering the courage to dial the director's number.
On the other end, the director's voice sounded troubled as he refused her request for leave.
Zhou Yingying bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with disappointment.
However, not long after, the director called back personally, agreeing to her one-day leave but emphasized repeatedly that it shouldn't become a norm.
