“Maybe…” Eviette replied with a smile. Melvin obviously knew that she was politely rejecting him. Currently, Veronica sat on a bench, reading the script. She had already memorized her lines by heart, but in order to improve her acting skills, she should also remember the other person’s lines.
While reading the script, Shannon approached her. “Veronica, Evie wants to talk to you.” Veronica held the script, which covered her face. She lazily glanced at Eviette’s assistant and apologized, “Sorry. I still have to memorize the script.”
Throughout the day, Veronica spent most of her time interacting with Eviette during their scenes together. Although Eviette always had a gentle and understanding demeanor toward her, Veronica still felt slightly appalled by her for some reason.
Shannon believed in groundless rumors online and assumed that Veronica’s marriage with Matthew was exactly like what the rumors said. She supposed that Veronica had married Matthew by any means necessary and even orchestrated a series of events, which eventually led to their divorce. Therefore, she had a strong dislike for Veronica.
Because of Eviette, she spoke politely to Veronica. However, she didn’t expect Veronica to be so disrespectful. “Evie is just trying to be friendly with you. How could you not appreciate it?”
Upon hearing that, Veronica paused for a moment. Her beautiful brows slightly raised, and she slowly put down the script, revealing her beautiful face. “Are you implying that I should bow to her as a token of gratitude?”
“You…” Shannon was momentarily speechless. She snorted coldly and walked away. She returned to Eviette’s dressing room in anger and exaggeratedly exclaimed, “I told Veronica that you invited her over, but she rejected me because she said she doesn’t know you well!”
Eviette was sitting on the couch, enjoying her coffee. Upon hearing her assistant’s words, she pulled a long face. She slowly put down the delicate white porcelain coffee cup and walked out of the dressing room.
Shannon hesitated for a moment and immediately understood Eviette’s intention. She caught up with her and muttered softly, “Evie, Veronica is just a country bumpkin who came out of the countryside. She has no manners or etiquette when she speaks. She doesn’t deserve your kindness.” Eviette didn’t utter a word. She walked through the crowd of crew members, glanced around, and finally fixed her gaze on Veronica. Then, she walked straight toward her.
“Working hard reading the script?”
She smiled lightly and threw the question out as she sat directly next to Veronica. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. I’ll do my best to help you.”
Veronica felt slightly repulsed by Eviette’s enthusiasm and initiative. She leaned against the railing, lowered her head to read the script in her hands, and didn’t even glance at Eviette. “Save the trouble.”
Her sentence was concise, and her tone was filled with indifference. Several extras resting nearby looked over, causing Eviette to feel quite embarrassed. However, when she saw the disdainful and disgusted expressions they tossed toward Veronica, she suddenly felt refreshed.
“Matthew invited me to have dinner later, and I’ve already asked for his opinion to bring you along. You should take a break after a hard day of filming.”
Eviette purposely slowed down her tone and spoke with a smile. Her posture was elegant and graceful, and her words and actions exuded the temperament of a refined lady.
“Eviette is so kind.”
“She treats Veronica so well.” “Hmph. Even though Eviette extended her offer, Veronica doesn’t appreciate it. She looks like she hates Eviette.”
“Are you dumb? Even her ex-husband sent flowers to Eviette. Veronica must be jealous and definitely hates Eviette.”
