âYou do have some additional scenes to shoot.â Everett did not elaborate any further as he continued, âIâm going to fetch you now. Youâll know once we reach the set.â
âOh, okay.â Ninian did not ask much. She just nodded obediently.
She looked confused after she hung up.
âYou got additional scenes to shoot?!â Lana was overjoyed when she heard this. âMany people love your character. If you get more screen time, youâll gain more fans!â
Nerola nodded. âIf you get additional scenes, this means that someone recommended you. Did The Everett do that?â
Ninian shook her head and said certainly, âHe wouldâve talked to me about it first before doing anything.â
At the back of her mind, she knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. It might have something to do with Paulâs disappearance.
âOr new plots are added to replace Paulâs character, meaning his character and mine will be merged into one.â
Ninianâs eyes twitch all of a sudden. She picked up her phone and gave Harold a call.
The call finally got connected after a long time.
She could hear people talking at the back. He seemed to be in a busy place. Only after a while, Harold spoke, âOh, Grapie! I was just about to find you, and you called! Tell me honestly, when did you slip back to Cairnstan? Youâve made me miserable!â
When she heard his wailing, her face turned red, feeling extremely guilty.
âOops, Iâve forgotten about this.
âIâve fooled Hal before, so he didnât know I returned to Cairnstan.â
âHuh? Haha, todayâs weather is pretty good, isnât it?â She laughed awkwardly before saying, âHal, are you busy? It sounds pretty noisy at your side. The signal over there isnât very good. I canât hear you clearly. Letâs talk later, bye!â âHello? Wait! Donât hangâ¦â
Ninian quickly hung up. She noticed Lana and Nerola both looking shocked. She laughed embarrassingly. âHaha, sorry about that. I mustâve looked silly.â
The two of them looked at each other, feeling confused.
LIR âNinian, did you lie to Hal again?â Nerola, who had been friends with her and knew her past, knew something was up. She smiled and asked curiously, âWhy did you do that? Come on, tell me!â
Lana looked at Ninian in shock. âNinian, youâre a liar?!â
Ninian covered her face with her hand. She did not dare to look Lana in the eye.
âOh, no. My reputation as a good girl is ruined.â
She simply explained how she lobbied to woo Melody and fool Harold just so she could stay with Everett in Cairnstan. Not to mention, she also threatened Paul, but he sold her out to Harold.
Lana blinked in shock.
âI didnât know Harold was such a responsible guy. Heâs pretty quick in resolving Paulâs matter within a few minutes.â
âWell, you havenât seen her eldest and third brothers. They move at the speed of light, as fast as 5G!â
âNinian, do you need a sisterâinâlaw? You can consider me, you know.â Lana hugged her arm and said coquettishly, âIf Iâm not suitable, you can consider Nerola, too! Iâm sure sheâs a good match!â
Nerola was speechless, feeling confused about why Lana included her all of a sudden.
As Ninian was laughing with them, her phone rang once again.
When she took a glance at it, her expression became solemn.
