Was she implying that Tilda was insignificant?
Tilda adjusted her glasses and smiled without commenting.
Scarlet then turned her attention to Karina, her smile sweet.
âThis must be the famous agent, Karina? Iâve heard so much about you!â
She hadnât paid much attention to the people with Maggie before, assuming they were ordinary since Maggie was an ordinary person.
She didnât think to recognize them carefully, and never expected them to come from influential families.
Now, she had to be more careful.
Sensing Scarletâs nature, Karina assumed that she was Maggieâs rival in love.
Given that Maggie and Scarlet didnât get along, Karinaâs attitude remained cool.
She nodded slightly to Scarlet and turned her attention to the jewelry on the counter.
Scarlet, unbothered by the cool reception, continued with a smile, âTilda, since you have time to shop here, I guess the filming of Sunshine is complete?â
âYes, the crew just finished shooting, and we planned to shop for some New Yearâs gifts together,â Tilda replied in a low voice.
âI heard that Director Brewster is planning to shoot an ancient costume drama after the New Year.
He wants you to be the scriptwriter, right?â Scarlet inquired.
Tilda nodded.
âYes.
â
Scarlet continued, âMy agency is close to finalizing an agreement with Director Brewster.
Theyâre considering me for the female lead.
It looks like weâll be seeing each other on set!â
Tilda was caught by surprise by her words.
She hadnât heard that Brewster had chosen the female lead.
Observing Scarletâs smug expression, Tilda adjusted her glasses and said, âScarlet, Iâve read the script.
I donât think your temperament suits the female lead.
Iâll talk to Brewster tomorrow and suggest you audition for the supporting actress role.
How does that sound?â
Scarletâs smile froze.
The supporting actress in the ancient costume drama was a scheming woman, and Scarlet knew exactly what Tilda was implying.
âTilda, are you saying I look like a scheming woman?â Scarlet blurted out.
Before Tilda could respond, Karina, who was selecting jewelry, burst into laughter.
âHow could you just blurt out what others are thinking? Miss Fernandez, youâre quite straightforward!â
Karinaâs deliberate teasing of Scarlet caused Rosalynn and the others to smirk.
Scarletâs face contorted with anger upon seeing their mocking expressions.
She realized they were all supporting Maggie, which explained why they were targeting her.
With Rosalynnâs powerful background and Karinaâs identity as a well- known agent, Scarlet knew she couldnât confront them directly.
Instead, she turned to the weakest link, Tilda.
