Trinity froze and turned to the door stiffly.
As expected, Frederic was standing there. There were many crew members there as well.
Trinity caught the disappointment in Frederic’s eyes. She wanted to explain herself but felt choked. Her lips moved, but there was no sound produced.
Michelle threw herself into Frederic’s arms in front of everyone.
Frederic froze, his hand hesitant before he patted Michelle’s shoulder lightly.
“Frederic, listen…” Trinity bit her lips. “Just now…”
“I heard about it just now, and I saw it too.” Frederic’s voice was calm without any ruffle of emotions, but his eyes were clearly brimming with disappointment toward her.
Trinity’s heart clenched, and pain spread all over her.
Frederic stepped toward her with a complicated gaze. “Trinity, Michelle’s a singer and has just shifted her path to acting. She mustn’t know a lot of rules. Please teach her patiently, will you? If there’s something she did wrong, I’ll apologize on behalf of her—”
“Mr. Constable, very funny!” Millie’s voice was shrill. “On behalf of her? If you’re doing everything on behalf of her, why don’t you act on behalf of her!?”
Frederic’s gaze dimmed, but he ignored others and kept his eyes on Trinity.
Trinity’s hands balled into fists before she loosened them. After some time, she took a deep breath and said shakily, “We’ve been reshooting this scene for over 20 times. I can’t waste more time!”
“Trinity, you—”
“Frederic, forget it!” Michelle inched toward him like she was wronged. “I know that Ms. Lulham looks down on me… Others have experience and talent, but I’m silly. I think I’m just not cut for this! Frederic, don’t put Ms. Lulham in a difficult spot. She’s a good director, and she’s been guiding me patiently!”
“Patiently?” A cold glint flashed in Frederic’s eyes as he glanced at the mess on the ground.
“It’s… It’s all my fault! Ms. Lulham wouldn’t lose her temper if I hadn’t been so slow to learn! I wouldn’t keep getting picked on too, otherwise…”
