From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 156

Her eyes flickered with mischief. “Honestly, being famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. If you blow up, I’ll have to sneak around just to see you. And with all that work, we might only get together once or twice a year.”

Olivia Bennett grinned. “That’s not really a problem. If you can’t come to me, I’ll go to you. Wherever you’re filming, I’ll show up and crash the set.”

Nannie Bruce stroked her chin, pretending to ponder. “Fair point. But, Olivia, aren’t we getting a bit ahead of ourselves here?”

Olivia shook her head. “Not at all. You’ve already finished shooting your scenes, right? The show will be out soon.”

“The lead actress is still filming. I’m just a small supporting role, so I wrapped early.”

“It won’t be long now,” Olivia said, looking up. “By the way, was the lead Aileen? I remember you mentioned her, but I forgot.”

Nannie nodded, a little wistful. “Yep, that’s her. Aileen’s amazing—everyone says she’s got some serious backing, but she’s so down-to-earth and polite. She really throws herself into her work. I get why she’s so popular.”

“Not everyone could pull it off like she does. I really respect her.”

Olivia listened, genuinely interested.

Time slipped by.

4:30 PM.

Olivia finished up her work, said her goodbyes to Helen Adams and the others, and left with Nannie.

Nannie drove, and the two of them headed straight to Savory & Grace, a cozy little bistro they both loved. They ordered all their favorite dishes—mac and cheese, Caesar salad, buffalo wings, and even a slice of New York cheesecake to share.

Nannie raised her glass. “Here’s to us! It’s been way too long.”

Olivia clinked her glass against Nannie’s.

Nannie tossed back her drink in one go. “Delicious!”

Olivia frowned at the mess, her hands sticky and her shirt wet. “I’m gonna go clean up in the restroom.”

“I’ll come with you.”

“No, don’t worry. Just wait here—I’ll be right back.” Olivia hurried out of their booth and down the hallway.

In the restroom, she rinsed the milk off her blouse. It washed out easily, but now she was left with a big wet patch.

Sighing at her reflection, she left the restroom and headed back to the dining area. As she walked down the hallway, she suddenly stopped, spotting a familiar face just ahead.

“Jasper!” she called out, surprised.

Jasper Lane turned, equally shocked, but broke into a warm smile. “Olivia! Did Ethan bring you here for dinner again?”

The second the words left his mouth, Olivia froze in place.
