Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 592: This Is What Happens When You Stay Home Too Much

Chapter 592: Chapter 592: This Is What Happens When You Stay Home Too Much

Hugh and Selena exchanged a glance.

"Then we’ll just wait for her to come knocking on our door."

He slowly spoke.

After the siblings finished discussing, Selena prepared to leave.

She yawned softly.

"If there’s nothing else, I’m heading back."

After speaking, Selena prepared to stand up.

Hugh looked at his sister in that state, speechless for a moment.

He hesitated for a while but finally spoke.

"There’s not much going on lately, so why do you look so tired."

Hugh remembered that after "Butterfly Flame" premiered, Selena mostly stayed at the main residence unless she had to attend to a few things.

Could it be...

This is what happens when you become a recluse?

She feels tired just by walking around outside?

Selena paused and surprisingly didn’t immediately refute Hugh’s words.

She thought seriously for a moment, "Maybe... too much of a recluse?"

After her birthday, Selena stayed in the main residence and rarely went out.

She would sleep until she naturally woke up each day, then spend time reading books, checking the news, or strolling in the garden outside the main residence.

Or she would keep Sterling company in the study.

And even when she was with Sterling, she would curl up on the couch watching dramas.

"..."

Seeing Selena with such self-awareness for the first time, Hugh was genuinely stunned for a while.

"Oh no, could she really be too much of a recluse?"

Hugh mumbled.

Selena caught his words, looking at Hugh speechlessly, "Are you itching for a beating?"

Hugh shrugged, speaking helplessly, "Good thing you agreed to the ’Star of Entertainment’ event, otherwise you’d become a silly sister if you keep this up."

"Pfft! Daring to curse your sister?!"

Selena laughed and walked over, twisting Hugh’s ear unceremoniously.

Hugh didn’t dodge, letting Selena vent.

Selena only twisted a bit, then soon let go of her hand.

"Alright, I’m leaving."

"Got it, stay safe."

Selena turned and waved goodbye, leaving Hugh’s office.

When Selena returned to the main residence, lunch was already being prepared.

Entering the dining room, she caught a whiff of a fishy smell.

She frowned slightly.

Is it possible that she’s been eating too well lately, and now the smell turns her stomach?

Selena looked down at herself.

Seems like she hasn’t exercised in a while.

She thought for a moment and called for the butler.

"Madam, what are your instructions?"

The butler responded respectfully.

"I’m going on a diet these days, have the chef prepare some nutritious diet meals."

Selena said.

"Understood, please wait a moment."

After replying, the butler went to instruct the main residence’s chef.

Soon after, Selena was served the diet meals prepared by the chef.

Looking at the food, her appetite suddenly surged.

After finishing lunch, Selena planned to go upstairs to rest. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But, as she was about to step on the stairs, she remembered she was supposed to be on a diet.

"..."

Wanting to maintain a good figure, Selena gritted her teeth.

She decided to take a walk in the garden first.

Selena leisurely strolled in the garden.

At this time, the staff of the main residence were on their break, so there wasn’t anyone around.

After walking for a bit, she sat down in the pavilion ahead.

Beneath the pavilion was a small channel with some koi swimming around.

The pavilion had a small groove for fish food, so Selena scattered some food.

As the fish food hit the water, the initially leisurely swimming koi all swam towards the food.

Selena sat in the pavilion, occasionally enjoying a pleasant breeze, not in a hurry to leave.

After a while, she heard a message notification sound on her phone.

Selena opened it to see.

It was a message from Vivian Sutton.

[Vivian Skintight]: [Image]

[Vivian Skintight]: TvT I feel like I’ve lost so much weight, this talent show is too hard.

The first message Vivian sent was a selfie.

In the picture, Vivian wore a neat training outfit with her hair tied up high.

Through the photo, Selena could see Vivian’s face was covered in sweat.

Selena raised an eyebrow slightly.

[Selie Stays Slim]: What have you been up to?

Vivian seemed to be watching her phone, waiting for Selena’s reply, so shortly after Selena sent the message, Vivian replied.

[Vivian Skintight]: You wouldn’t believe it, I’ve been getting up for morning practice at 5 or 6 AM these days, not returning to the dorm until 11 or 12 at night.

When Vivian previously appeared in the "Star of Entertainment" program group, it caused quite a stir.

After all, she had played a character in the hit drama "Immortal Path", and not just any character but the third female lead.

And she had already signed with Stardust Entertainment.

So when Vivian first joined the group, many newcomers approached to chat and make connections.

But Vivian maintained the same attitude towards everyone and didn’t get too close to anyone.

Over time, those people stopped approaching her intentionally.

This lightened Vivian’s burden considerably.

Yet there were still many who asked her about her connections.

The training and classes arranged for contestants on "Star of Entertainment" were very diverse and intense.

To avoid the gossip in the dorm, and because she wanted to improve herself, Vivian stayed in the classroom to train late into the night.

[Vivian Skintight]: I’ve been meaning to complain to you for a while.

[Vivian Skintight]: But with the tight training schedule, it wasn’t until the semifinals coming in a week and the organizers giving a relaxation day that I found time to chat with you.

[Vivian Skintight]: Hold on, let me find an empty classroom so we can video chat.

Vivian sent a barrage of messages.

Selena waited for her to find a classroom to video chat.

After a bit, Vivian initiated a video call.

Selena placed her phone at her side, leaning against the pavilion pole.

Then she accepted the call.

Vivian’s face instantly appeared on the screen.

"Hey, darling, are you in the Norwood Family’s garden?"

Vivian glanced at the buildings behind Selena and commented.

Previously, Vivian had been very curious about the Norwood Family’s garden, so she remembered it.

Selena nodded, "Yeah, I just feel like I’ve been eating too much lately, so I’m taking a walk after meals."

Vivian pouted, "Yeah, right. With your figure, there’s no way you’ll gain weight..."

After that retort, Vivian continued, "Let me tell you something serious."

"There are some real hidden talents in this program group..."

"I was shocked when I first heard their introductions."

Selena raised an eyebrow slightly, a bit intrigued, "Oh? Tell me more."
