âHey Ariana, is everything alright? Are you feeling unwell?â Tyler became increasingly nervous upon noticing Arianaâs pale complexion.
Ariana composed herself and shook her head.
âItâs alright.
Donât overthink it.
A ki*s on the cheek is perfectly normal between friends, especially when filming a scene.
Besides, he wonât see this short video.
Even if we truly ki*sed, he wouldnât know.
â
Even if he did know, he wouldnât care.
Ariana feigned cheerfulness, saying, âAlright, go get ready for the shoot.
â
âOkay, Iâll go.
â Feeling uneasy, Tyler scratched his head and glanced back at Ariana.
He sensed that she was in a sour mood, but was too afraid to ask.
As a result, he returned to his seat as instructed.
Once Tyler left, Ariana couldnât resist checking her phone, only to find no new messages.
Disappointment washed over her.
Theodore had genuinely kept his word.
He said he wouldnât contact her, and he hadnât.
Wasnât he once so eager to defy her?
Usually, Horace would relay any news about her to Theodore.
She believed he was aware that she had been searching for him a few days back.

Yet, after all these days, he still hadnât reached out.
She couldnât determine if Theodoreâs silence was due to keeping his promise not to seek her out, or if he had calmed down after their separation, realizing his interest in her had only been fleeting and now faded.
She recalled the photograph captured by the paparazzo and laughed at herself.
How could he care about her when he was with another beautiful woman?
So, what else could men do besides irritate her?
Arianaâs thoughts consumed her.
âTime to shoot! Get ready!â Jaysonâs voice came over the intercom.
Ariana regained her focus and promptly touched up her makeup and smoothed out her hair.
Meanwhile, Tyler observed her with concern, sensing her somber mood.
Ariana forced a smile and said to Tyler, âLetâs do this!â
The final scene commenced, and both Tyler and Ariana fully embodied their characters.
Tyler donned a messy yet realistic wig, his expression instantly turning solemn.
But when he gazed at the girl before him, his eyes softened.
