Not able to think straight, Liza took a few steps forward and stopped in front of Maria.

Meanwhile, Maria darted a faint glance at Liza. Apparently, she had heard how the others praised Liza for a job she didn't do.

“M-Maria... Why don't I help you fix your clothes this time?" Letting out a fake smile, Liza offered some help as she suddenly Leaned over to Maria, trying to smooth down her costume.

She also used the words “this time" on purpose, making it seem Like she had been working on Maria's make-up before.

But Maria replied flatly, "No, thanks."

She slightly shook her sleeve, signaling Liza not to touch her.

Seeing this scene, the people present were stunned. They were so bewildered, not understanding why Maria would treat Liza Like this.

Did her head grow big that she started to put on airs and look down upon ordinary staff like makeup artists, even though she was still an amateur actress?

Maria had already Looked away, turning her back on Liza and the rest.

Then, she found Jay not far away from her, holding the script in his hand as if in deep thought.

After thinking for a while, she remembered that the first scene of the supporting male role, which Jay would play, was intricate and not easy to act out.

“Jay, let's go over the lines while waiting.”

Maria called him from a distance and then walked towards him, thinking that it'd be a good chance to practice.

Meanwhile, Liza and the others, who were left behind, still had furrowed brows and complicated expressions on their faces.

Of course, Liza knew why Maria hated her, but the others were completely in the dark.

“Did you see that? I didn't expect Maria to be so arrogant." One of them finally broke the awkward silence and commented.

“Well, she is the heroine of a huge movie. She probably Looks down upon ordinary staff like us right now," another man added, shaking his head.

"That's for sure! Isn't Liza Maria's exclusive makeup artist? How could Maria treat her so disrespectfully? Now, her true color is being clearly seen." A makeup artist, who was on good terms with Liza, stood firm and said in an indignant voice.

These people were not present when Maria was asked to take the group photos, so they could only express these sentiments.

But an actress who was the first to take a photo with Maria instantly butted in, "What are you guys talking about? Maria is very kind!"

"I agree. She's not the type to casually put on airs. I think Maria is just a quiet girl. That's why she can be misunderstood at times." Another actress stepped up, defending Maria.

ALL of a sudden, the people in the crowd were divided into two groups. Some thought that Maria was rude and arrogant, while the rest thought that she was actually fine.

However, it was undeniable that Maria did give Liza a cold shoulder just now, which confused many people.

Therefore, someone couldn't help but ask, "Liza, is Maria not satisfied with the make-up you did for her? Because we all think that it's great.”
