Mu Xi asked, âDo you have something to look for my charge about?â
âYes, Iâm here to visit her at work, but I also have something urgent to tell her.â
âOh. I can take you to her waiting room first. Sheâs currently in the middle of filming, so youâll probably have to wait for some time!â
The other woman waved her hand dismissively. âItâs fine. Iâm okay with waiting for her. Thank you for helping me out!â
âThatâs nothing. Itâs what I should do for my charge since youâre her friend.â She laughed and rebuked the woman for being too courteous with her.
As Xiao Xue smiled back at the assistant, she suddenly recalled something and looked at her surroundings before dropping her voice to a soft whisper. âIs Shishi in a foul mood today?â
Her heart had been pounding hard as she made her way to the production set earlier, for she was somewhat worried that her bestie might be angry with her.
After being classmates and best friends for so many years, she knew that the actress was the sweetest and most considerate person ever. This was despite the latter not being good at expressing her emotions.
Whenever they got together, she was always the one sharing things about herself while her friend would just sit there and patiently hear her out. However, when it was the other way round, her bestie rarely confided her troubles in her.
The actress also rarely meddled in her affairs, but last night, she spoke a lot about her relationship with Gao Nan to her. She probably had deliberated on it for a long time before making the hard decision to break the news about his infidelity to her.
Her response to her concern, however, was beyond terrible!
Back then, she found it hard to accept the truth, so she chose to run away from the café without any consideration for her friendâs feelings.
She must be furious and utterly disappointed with me.
What she said was all for my benefit, and it also wasnât her intention to sow discord between me and Gao Nan. However, I just had to act on my own and hear those ugly words from him before I finally believed her!
Regrets and worries consumed her; she was worried that the actress might not consider her a friend anymore because she was mad at her over this matter.
The assistant furrowed her brows in surprise. âHow did you know that? Did she tell you about it?â
Her heart skipped a beat as she asked nervously, âShe must be really angry, right?â
Thinking that she was referring to the earlier incident with Ji Yan and that her charge had confided in her, the assistant nodded. âWell, yeah. She even flared up at the production crew earlier. Thatâs the first time Iâve ever seen her lose control of herself. Sheâs usually very mild-mannered when on set, after all.â
It got the lady frowning, and she felt really bad and sorry for the actress.
It must be because I made her angry last night. Has her anger not simmered even after a night, which caused her to lose her temper on set?
Itâs only justifiable, though; as a friend, she cares a lot about me. She must be furious with me for storming off.
âItâs all my fault; I infuriated her.â Feeling somewhat remorseful, she bit her bottom lip and admitted this to the surprised assistant.
âHow could that be? Iâm sure it had nothing to do with you.â
âHuh?â She stared wide-eyed at the latter in bewilderment. âWhat made her so angry then?â
A conflicted and hesitant look crossed the assistantâs face, which got her saying immediately, âYou donât have to tell me anything if itâs not something youâre free to share. Iâm more than willing to hear her tell me her troubles; I just wanna find out whatâs troubling her.â
