The week rushed by fast and the hiatus was over. Selene had to go back to work. Throughout the week, she had tried texting Michelle for a hangout but the latter always objected, claiming to be busy with a new contract she signed with a modeling company, Klerene.
Xavier went to work a few days and would always co back early. They would watch movies together and he offered to teach her how to make a few dishes, which she failed at terribly.
Having to spend more than ten hours at the set and having to go ho late at night made her miss him and want to have him by her side all the ti. She wondered if Xavier was also feeling the sa.
He continued to bring her als at the set.
Selene sighed, playing with her fingers when she saw a shadow sitting beside her. She looked at the person and found Liam.
"Where’s your friend, Kace?" He asked, opening a bottle of chilled water before handing it over to her.
Selene sighed heavily, "He had sowhere to go," she replied.
Kace was not around and he already told her beforehand. Not having him by her side got her bored quickly.
Her relationship with Liam had gotten good, the both of them would text each other a few tis but they spoke most of the ti at the set and Liam had taken it upon himself to cheer her up.
"I see."
Selene drank from the bottled water, letting the chilled liquid soothe her dry throat. Standing under the sun, acting with the heavy dresses tired her out.
So of the actresses passed them by, glaring at Selene before they whispered amongst themselves.
"Seems like the director and the two Wallace brothers didn’t satisfy her enough. Now, she’s after Liam. Can’t she at least have so sha?"
"I don’t think sha is in her vocabulary," the other whispered back.
Selene heard them loud and clear. Even though the rumor had been clarified, so of her jealous colleagues still wouldn’t let her be. Selene had never bothered to talk back at them, but it seed they had taken her for granted.
"Don’t listen to what they are saying," said Liam.
Selene sighed, finally finding so source of entertainnt. She had been bored since she ca to the set. Michelle hadn’t done anything stupid yet and now she had seen so scapegoats, she wasn’t going to let them go scot-free.
"Excuse , if you have sothing to say about , how about you say it to my face?" Selene asked, standing up from her seat and walking to stand in front of them.
The two B-list actresses stared at each other before they laughed out loud.
"Are you talking to us?" One of them asked Selene, looking around, trying to see if possibly Selene was talking to soone else.
"Weren’t you talking about earlier?" Selene questioned, keeping her voice low so that she wouldn’t attract much attention, but she doubted that was possible. "Co on, repeat what you said, Miranda!"
Miranda was a blonde-haired black-eyed girl crush who was a singer, actor, and model all at the sa ti. Many scandals about her sleeping with rich politicians were the talk on social dia every ti. She wears skimpy clothes to co to the set and the only ti she got to wear decent clothes was when she had to change into the costus.
She wasn’t exactly from a wealthy family, but her family didn’t have a good background, just like her. She had a brother who was in jail and a younger sister who was following in her footsteps.
"You are just a newbie who climbed her way to the top by sleeping with rich n every day. Who knows, it must be why you decided to be part of this movie. So that you can catch the attraction of the handso n here," said Miranda raising her voice slightly higher so that people can co watch as she disgraces Selene while pouting as if pitting her.
"You an like how you wear your rags you call clothes in here but still fail in seducing anyone? What a sha," Selene backfired.
Miranda was imdiately hurt by Selene’s comnt.
The other actress who was with Miranda pulled her friend as if to protect her as she glared at Selene.
She was Edna, another famous B-list celebrity with brown hair and black eyes who ca from a rich family. She was a spoiled brat who enjoyed everyone dancing to her tunes and she loved degrading people just because she was born rich.
Edna had caused a few commotions at the set and it was with the crew. The director always leaves her off with a warning but it was obvious his patience with her was wearing off.
There had been a few scandals about her being a drug dealer. With the way she behaved like a mad woman, many people concluded she was under drugs since no person in their normal state of mind would act in such a way.
"Who do you think you are to talk to my friend like that?" She questioned Selene. "Just because you are in the sa movie with us, that does not an you can talk to us however you like. We are still your seniors."
"So what do you expect to do? Go down and lick your foot with my tongue? I think I will pass," Selene waved her hands away as if waving an annoying fly away. "You know, instead of you two birds that flock together minding my own business, how about you mind yours instead? I an you have a lot more on your plate than I do," she added, reminding them of their scandals.
The two friends glanced at each other with gritted teeth. Selene had always portrayed herself as a quiet and reserved person, but never in their wildest thoughts did they think she had such a sharp tongue.
