After she was done with work, Zoe swiftly removed her makeup.
Today was Yelena's third birthday, and she had promised to celebrate it with Yelena.
Thankfully, filming began in the afternoon and it ended at night.
Although it was slightly late, she would not miss the appointment.
"Congratulations, Zoe!" Candice said, "I didn't think that you'd rank third in this round. I was still worried that the role was so minor that you might be forgotten. Indeed, there are no lousy roles, only lousy actors."
