Chapter 2: June 11
No Future Without YouThe next day May went to the apartment where Nana was already awake cutting fruit for her daughter to eat for breakfast. While she waited the little girl walked around the kitchen and her mother keeping her company.
“Baobei let’s eat” Nana set the plate of fruits on the table then picked up her daughter and placed her in her seat. “What do you want first?”
“Banana” the little girl enthusiastically answered then opened to receive a piece of banana from Nana.
Nana too ate a piece and smiled exaggeratedly for the little girl. “It’s super good!”

“I have nothing to reflect on. I am doing the best I can to become a good actor.”
May sighed; she could see all he ever thought about was himself. “I mean about your family.”
“My family is fine. They are both healthy and I always make sure to give Nana money.”
“Money isn’t everything you know. I’m sure Nana would prefer to have you at home spending time with her and your daughter than you simply giving her money.”
Kris got in his car and started driving even with May by his side. “I’m a celebrity; things aren’t so simple for me. Now stop asking questions. I don’t have time for this.” He got out of the car. “I need to film and can’t be seen with anyone so do me a favor and disap
