Despite hearing Mia’s voice, Veronica didn’t turn around. She never expected to meet Mia here, which was truly a headache.
However, because of her words just now, many people discovered Veronica’s identity and started to gossip about her. As she was walking, someone suddenly tapped her shoulder. “Hey!”
Hearing the voice, she stopped and turned around with slightly furrowed brows. “You are…” She pointed at the man in front of her in surprise, recognizing him but couldn’t remember his name.
“Melvin Winson.” The man smiled modestly. “You looked familiar so I thought I mistook you for someone else. I didn’t expect it to be you! What are you doing here?”
Melvin had a seemingly incredulous expression on his face, but there was a hint of cunningness in his eyes that was hard to detect. The reason he showed up here was naturally because he knew she was here.
‘I auditioned for a supporting role in this crew. How about you?” Veronica felt incredulous. She originally thought she wouldn’t know anyone on set for ‘The General’s Lonely Daughter’, but unexpectedly, she first bumped into Mia Stuart, then met Eviette Robins, and now Melvin Winson. He was the man she accidentally hit in the car accident the other day.
“I am Camden Sullivan’ assistant.” After saying that, he asked, “Can I get your number?” Camden was the male lead in ‘The General’s Lonely Daughter’, and Melvin was currently his assistant.
“Get my… number?” Veronica found his request to be quite abrupt. Seemingly understanding her reaction, he immediately smiled while explaining, “You helped me pay hundreds of dollars in the hospital that day, and I’ve been wanting to pay you back but couldn’t contact you. I didn’t expect to meet you here today, so I wanted to pay you first.”
The car accident had happened more than a month ago, and Veronica didn’t really mind paying for him. With a wave of the hand, she declined his offer. “I was responsible for the car accident that day, so the medical expenses should be paid by me. You don’t have to repay me.”
“I’ve never liked owing favors to others. You make me feel guilty by doing this.” He sighed, “But since you are an actress in the crew, I will invite you to a meal as a token of gratitude when an opportunity arises.” “Sure. Sounds good,” Veronica readily agreed.
“Then shall we…”
Melvin wanted to add on, but someone behind him angrily scolded, “Melvin Winson, are you here to work? I brought you here as my assistant, not to chat with others!”
When they turned around, they noticed a man dressed in a black girdle standing behind them. He had his long hair tied up high. Paired with his handsome and elegant appearance, he resembled a male lead in ancient dramas.
Veronica had seen him on TV before. He was originally a singer who debuted in the group, Dynamic 101, and later transitioned to an actor.
Perhaps because of his extremely good looks or maybe due to luck, even though his acting skills were mediocre in a web drama, he became popular overnight.
Due to his matching personal image to the male protagonist of The General’s Lonely Daughter, Sam chose him as the male lead.
“Oh, coming,” Melvin responded before hurriedly saying to Veronica. “Sorry, I have to go now. Catch up with you later.”
“Go ahead.” Veronica Murphy nodded. Then, he offered her an awkward smile and immediately ran toward Camden. “Sorry for the delay. I met an acquaintance.”
Camden possessed the aura of a top star and glanced coldly at Veronica while reprimanding Melvin in a cold voice, “If you get distracted one more time, you should just get lost! You have no sense of judgment and only know how to slack. Hurry up and buy me a pack of cigarettes.”
