Aubree pouted, wishing she could just hang out with her friend instead.
Brielle looked up at that moment. "Don't you have an interview? Your agent probably has it all scheduled, right?" she asked.
"I just want to chill," Aubree whined, trying to get Brielle to loosen up a bit.
In Brielle's world, with Max being so stellar and hardworking, she felt the pressure to push herself even harder. But Aubree was her friend, and she didn't want her to be overworked.
"Alright, then head back now, get some rest, and recalibrate," Brielle relented.
Aubree was suddenly speechless and deflated. "I'll get ready for the interview, then."
"Aubree, if you're really tired, just rest."
"I'm not, I was just kidding. I'm off."
With a forced smile, Aubree left the room, but as soon as the door closed behind her, her eyes reddened. Sighing, she looked up to see Keiran and Chase approaching. She'd been at odds with Chase lately, her brow furrowing at the sight of him. Chase wasn't fond of her either, even if he hid it well.
Keiran bypassed Brielle’s office, heading elsewhere. He was swamped with his new film project and had no time to spare for anyone. Chase, ever the sycophant, followed like a faithful puppy, linking arms with him as if they were the best of buddies.
"Hey Keiran, you really can't hang out tonight?" Chase asked, hope tinged with disappointment in his voice.
"Yeah, got some extra scenes to shoot, it'll be an all-nighter," Keiran responded.
