Sympathizing with him, Ariana moved closer and draped another blanket over him.

In a hushed tone, she reassured him, "Just because I'm letting it go this time, it doesn't mean we're giving in to Cole. We'll find a way to get back at him in the future. Right now, we're still shooting this drama. You're new here, so let's not argue with the crew over something trivial."

“It's not something small and insignificant," Tyler replied, looking at her with a hint of sadness.

"I know you're upset, but please listen to me this time. Let's avoid any more trouble.” After some patient coaxing, Ariana finally persuaded Tyler to calm down.

Suddenly, Francis’ voice came through the intercom.

"That scene is over. Tyler, go change into dry clothes with your agent.”

"Okay, let's go," Ariana said, tugging at Tyler, who was still glaring at Cole.

In the temporary filming studio, the only private changing rooms were reserved for the lead actors. The rest of the crew had to use a public shed with just a cloth for privacy, which was uncomfortable for the female staff.

Ariana was about to make do with the public shed when she spotted a thin girl with a high ponytail approaching her. She recognized her as Meadow, Selene's assistant whom she had met the day before.

Meadow greeted her with a smile, "Ms. Edwards, Miss Cicio has invited you to her lounge. There are clean clothes for you to change into, and we have some ginger tea that will warm you up."

Upon hearing this, Ariana cast a glance toward Selene, who was sitting silently nearby.

Selene responded with a soft smile, which had a calming effect on those who saw it.

Like a mountain stream in summer, she exuded a sense of purity and tranquility.

Ariana felt drawn to Selene and thanked Meadow.

"Thanks. Lead the way, please."

“It would be my pleasure," Meadow replied, leading Ariana toward Selene's private lounge.

As they walked away, Selene's smile faded, and she tossed the book from her lap aside before pulling aside an assistant producer.

“Please ask Mr. Salazar to come to my lounge in three minutes. I want to discuss the script with him."

As they entered the lounge, Ariana observed that it wasn't spacious, but it had all the amenities. It had a private dresser and bathroom, which was a huge improvement over the public shed.

“Ms. Edwards, here's a spare suit for Miss Cicio. She hasn't worn it yet. You can use it," Meadow informed her while handing over a light purple suit.
