"It's alright," Coco refused. "The news has been taken down, anyway. Besides, I'm not a celebrity. It's not like everyone knows my face. I'll get dinner for myself or order takeaway. You don't have to travel so far to send me food."It was an hour and a half drive from here to Minnie's place."Okay, then. Take care of yourself," Minnie sighed. "Call me if you need anything. I'll talk to the director. Perhaps you can go back to the set in a few days." "Alright," Coco responded.After her best friend left, Coco was left alone in the 40-square-foot apartment. A sense of loneliness surrounded her.Coco grabbed her phone and searched for Lucas' name in her contacts. After hesitating shortly, she made the call.The call connected, and there was a low voice on the other end of the phone. "Hey." Feeling nervous, Coco involuntarily tightened her grip on the phone. "Hey… I don't know if you know, but the story about my past was on the news.""Yeah, I know," Lucas replied, his voice pra

"Well… I didn't mean it that way…" Coco began to stammer. "Umm, no, that's not what I meant. I mean…""Even if anything had happened, you seem to be one on the losing end, and…""Besides, you certainly wouldn't hurt me, I think…" Coco mumbled, her face turning even redder as she tried to explain herself.'Pfft!' Lucas could not resist, and a laugh escaped him. Coco was so cute and funny, especially with her reddened cheeks and hand movements, which reminded him of a squirrel.Coco froze when she saw the clear amusement reflected on his face. Lucas would usually wear a polite, small smile, but this time, his smile was genuine."What?" Lucas asked, looking at the way she was staring at him blankly."You have a beautiful smile," she complimented, her hand instinctively reaching out for his cheek. Coco had an urge to draw his smile at this moment. She wanted to use her eyes to record his genuine smile; he could melt glaciers with that smile.Lucas stared at Coco, wondering if he s

Over the next few days, Coco did not see much news about her online. Her alias was mentioned during the promotion of the TV series, but it did not garner much negative attention. Realizing that the storm was over, she let out a sigh of relief.Coco knew this was all because of Lucas' help. Without him, the storm would have grown and lasted longer. Fortunately, the worst had passed quickly.On the days they agreed to date, Lucas came over and spent time with Coco in the serviced apartment. He would sit on the sofa, either reading books or watching TV shows while she drew him in her sketchbook.If Coco was fast, she could finish a sketch of him within fifteen minutes. If she took her time, she would take half an hour to finish.Coco loved to draw close-ups of his face, focusing on his chiseled features. Lucas was so mysterious, yet so strangely attractive. The more she tried to understand him, the less she could read him. Although he seemed cold, his eyes were full of stories, all ki

Coco looked at Loke coldly. "I don’t need you to do anything for me. If you’re feeling guilty, I hope that you don’t show up in front of me again. That’s the best thing you could do for me." Loke turned pale. "Do you hate me that much?" "Do you expect me to be happy to see you?" Coco asked sarcastically. "Would I have to go through all these things if it wasn't for you using me to win over that girl you liked? Would my name appear on the trending news if you hadn’t done that?" "I know that I hurt you very deeply back then, but Coco, I hope that you can give me another chance to make it up to you," Loke said sadly. "You don’t have to do that!" Coco refused. "I must make it up to you, because…" Loke paused as his voice trembled. However, Coco didn’t bother talking to Loke anymore. She got up and wanted to leave the room. She would come back later when Tracy was done with Ash. Loke stepped in front of her and stopped her from leaving. "Wait, please listen to me, Coco," he pleaded.

They had wanted to hurt Coco’s hands because Layla didn’t like Coco’s talent. Coco was lucky that her hands weren't harmed because the campus’s security guards had saved her in time. Later on, she found out the reason Layla had targeted her. After one of Coco’s comics was published, some of the classmates jokingly called her a professional cartoonist. Layla harbored hatred when she heard that because she hadn’t won first place in a comic drawing contest in high school. In Layla’s eyes, it was a sin for Coco to have her comics submitted and published!At this moment, Coco froze in place after hearing Layla’s words. Layla smiled brighter, picked up a box of cookies, and walked over to Coco. "Here, take this. Tell me if it’s good, I’ll send you a few more boxes later." She shoved the box into Coco’s hand. Coco subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to refuse. The box of cookies fell to the ground before her hands could touch the box. Layla put on a sad face. "Coco, you don’t have
