Veronica Murphy glanced at Mia Stuart in the mirror and asked, “What brings you here?”
Mia Stuart, dressed in costume and wearing heavy makeup, looked quite impressive. She looked down at the cup of hot coffee in her hand, hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and seemed to be struggling internally.
Then, she took two steps forward and placed the coffee directly on the table. “I wanted to drink coffee, and the assistant bought an extra cup. It would be a waste to throw it away, so I thought I’d give it to you.”
She spoke quickly and after setting the coffee down, she turned around and hurriedly left. Watching her departing figure, Veronica Murphy couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and bewilderment.
Little Ke, who was doing her makeup, held an eyeshadow brush and asked while applying makeup, “Didn’t Mia Stuart have a falling out with you? Why did she suddenly give you coffee? Veronica, let me tell you, offering help for no reason is either a trick or a theft.”
Previously, due to the crew’s rejection of Veronica Murphy, even the makeup artist Little Ke had a negative attitude towards her. It was only after Larry Freeman appeared that Little Ke started affectionately calling her “Veronica.”
“You have a point.”
Veronica Murphy said seriously, “In that case, you can have the coffee.” Little Ke’s hand paused, shaking her head vigorously, “No, no, no, I won’t drink it. What if it’s poisoned?”
Even if it’s not poisoned, what if there’s saliva or diarrhea medicine in it? It’s not impossible. Before she finished speaking, she saw Veronica Murphy pick up the coffee cup, insert a straw, and take a sip.
Seeing Veronica Murphy actually drinking the coffee, Little Ke widened her eyes, “Wow, Veronica, you’re really brave. Aren’t you afraid she put laxatives in it?”
Veronica Murphy lowered her gaze and looked at the hot coffee in her hand, her lips slightly curved, “She wouldn’t dare.”
She was so confident because she had successfully turned the tables on Mia Stuart in her heart by “cooperating” with Sean Ludwig last night. From now on, Mia Stuart’s target would mostly be Eviette Robins.
After finishing her makeup, Veronica Murphy put on an orange down jacket over her costume and went outside, holding the cup of coffee Mia Stuart had given her.
On her way from the rest area to the filming area today, she ran into Melvin Winson and Camden Sullivan head-on.
That day, when she fell into the water, Camden. Sullivan jumped into the lake without worrying about his own life to save her. Veronica Murphy was deeply moved when she heard the news.
When she saw the two of them, she walked over, nodded slightly at Melvin Winson, and said. to Camden Sullivan, “I heard that you jumped into Blue Star Lake to save me that day?”
Camden Sullivan chuckled and scratched his head, adorned with a jade crown and wearing black gloves. “I did jump, but I couldn’t find you.”
He was dressed in a navy blue embroidered silk robe with a black belt and gold thread trim. Over the robe, he wore a light blue fur-lined coat. With his hair tied up in a jade crown and delicate makeup, he had a sharp and masculine aura, exuding a sense of ancient beauty.
No wonder Camden Sullivan was a popular idol among many female fans. He truly had a regal presence. But Veronica Murphy usually saw this kind of young and fresh talent as a younger brother. After all, she preferred mature and stable men.
“Regardless, I have to admire you for jumping into Blue Star Lake to save me. It truly impressed me, and more importantly, it touched me,” Veronica Murphy smiled knowingly. “How about this? After work, I’ll treat you and Melvin Winson to sushi. Winter is the best season for sushi.”
“Sushi… I’d rather not,” Camden Sullivan pursed his lips and hesitated, his gaze turning to Veronica Murphy. “I still want you to teach me martial arts. Consider it granting my wish?”
Sushi or anything like that was not his cup of tea.
Right now, he was solely focused on having Veronica Murphy teach him martial arts.
