“Alright, Camden. I’ll get them right away.” Camden had no idea about Melvin’s true identity. In fact, no one in the entire crew knew his true identity apart from Eviette.
Hence, Camden was extremely arrogant toward Melvin, and even though Melvin couldn’t bear it anymore, he thought it was a good idea for Veronica to see him being scolded by Camden.
At least, she would have more sympathy for him, thus bringing them closer. Without delay, Melvin immediately went to buy the items for Camden. Watching his back, Veronica inexplicably felt the bitterness of working at the bottom of society.
It was quite miserable to be scolded after only having a quick chat with her. As she was pondering, Camden walked up to her, crossed his arms, and scanned her up and down with an unfriendly gaze. “Are you Veronica Murphy?”
Camden’s earlier behavior could have upset Veronica, hence she replied indifferently, “What’s the matter?”
“Don’t assume that you can be friends with me just by getting close to my assistant. I’ve met many women like you,” Camden remarked while raising his hand to flick a strand of hair at his
temple. His chiseled face showed a hint of disdain which resembled the appearance of the male lead in the drama.
However, Veronica remained expressionless. She looked into his eyes, held the gaze for two seconds, smirked, and made a light sneer before turning away.
She had met people who were arrogant, but she had never encountered someone so eager to flatter themselves. It was really disgusting.
Camden had always been admired by others. As the male lead in the drama, being despised by Veronica made him find her excessively arrogant and detestable.
Ring, ring! At this moment, Veronica’s phone rang. She took out her phone and saw the call was from Matthew’s private number. Upon glancing around, she went to a corner of the corridor to answer the call. “Yes, Matt?”
“How’s your first day on the set?”
On the other end of the phone, Matthew asked in concern. Leaning against a column, she let out a long. sigh. ‘It’s alright. Nothing special happened, but do you know who the female lead of our drama is?”
“Who is it?” “Eviette Robins!” Veronica exclaimed but immediately lowered her voice right after. “I found it unbelievable when I saw her on the set today.”
“Eviette Robins is on the set?” Matthew leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment, and remarked, “I heard that she won the Best Actress award before. She should be a good actress.”
“Didn’t you know that?” Veronica asked back. “I only have some business dealings with her. I rarely interfere with her personal life,” he answered. After speaking, he paused for a moment and asked sharply, “Why? Do you think I deliberately hid it from you?”
“No. That did not cross my mind at all.” Veronica reminded him in a low voice, “But you must keep our relationship a secret from her, otherwise everything we’ve done before will be in vain.”
Veronica believed that Matthew publicly announcing their divorce had put a lot of pressure on him alone, and his intention was for her own good. She wanted to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry and make sure that his efforts wouldn’t be in vain.
“I shall obey your orders, my dear wife.” Matthew smiled at that. His smile washed away the coldness on his face and made him look gentler. He leaned back in his chair, looked up at the ceiling, and said, “I miss you.”
“It’s only been half a day since we parted. Don’t try to deceive me like that.” Although she said so, Veronica’s face was filled with a satisfied smile that betrayed her true feelings.
They had only known each other for a little over two years, and their marriage was even shorter. It was no wonder that they still acted like a couple in the honeymoon phase.
