As the staff spoke, she left triumphantly with her lunch box. At this point, Veronica no longer had any doubts that she was being targeted. She felt foolish. With Mia on the set, her upcoming days would undeniably be miserable.
Helplessly, she turned around and left. She had planned to buy some food at Production City to fill her stomach, but Sam mentioned that it would be her turn to be on set after lunch, hence she decided to endure hunger.
“I have extra food, Veronica. You can have some.” At this moment, Melvin walked over out of nowhere and stood in front of her, handing her a box of food.
She was taken aback as she looked at the box he handed over, feeling warmth pooling in her heart. It was fortunate that there was such a kind person in the crew. Otherwise, she would truly be isolated. “I appreciate your kindness, but I’m not very hungry. You can have it all to yourself,” Veronica politely declined..
Melvin reached out his other hand which was initially behind his back holding a cup of ice latte. “If you’re really not hungry, then you can have this. I bought it for you when I passed by a cafe while I was out buying cigarettes for Camden.”
Veronica hesitated. Melvin noticed the change in her expression and smiled. “It’s just a token of gratitude for saving me that day.” A cup of latte only cost about 4 dollars per cup. Seeing that, she accepted it without refusing.
“Thank you.” “Don’t worry about it,’ stated Melvin as he pointed to the lounge. “Camden is still waiting for me, so I’ll be heading over first.”
“Sure. Go ahead.” Veronica nodded and watched Melvin leave. She then looked at the iced latte in her hand and no longer felt in a bad mood. Just as Veronica turned around, however, another person approached her. “Are you Veronica Murphy?”
A young lady in a black dress walked over and introduced herself to her. “I’m Shannon, Evie’s assistant. She wants you to come over.”
Evie? Does she mean Eviette Robins? Veronica furrowed her eyebrows, not understanding why Eviette would suddenly ask for her. After hesitating for a moment, she followed Shannon to Eviette’s lounge.
When she entered the lounge, the coolness that greeted her made her feel refreshed. Although it was already autumn, the sun was shining brightly today, so it was quite warm outside. Eviette’s spacious lounge was equipped with air conditioning and everything else, making Veronica slightly envious of her.
Only the best actress is worthy of having such treatment! When Veronica looked at Eviette sitting on the couch, the latter was also looking at her.
Eviette stood up, smiled slightly, and spoke with a gentle demeanor. “Hope I didn’t scare you by not saying hello before asking you to come over.” Veronica shook her head calmly. “What can I do for you, Miss Robins?”
As she spoke, Eviette had already walked up to Veronica. Her voice was gentle as she remarked, “I saw you in the morning, but there were too many people out there so I didn’t greet you at first. I had some free time, so I called Matt. I told him that you were on the set, and he sounded quite surprised, so he asked me to take care of you.”
After a round of analysis, Veronica figured that Eviette had made a call to Matthew, but she said he was quite surprised that Veronica was in the same set as her. That meant he didn’t tell her the truth.
Suddenly, Veronica seemed to have understood what was going on. “Thank you for the concern, but I’m doing fine.”
“Don’t worry about it. I know what happened just now.”
As soon as Veronica finished speaking, Eviette grabbed her hand. “I don’t have any friends on the set, and it’s boring to eat alone. I want to invite someone to have a meal and chat with. Would you mind joining me?”
