Chapter 410
Bradley said nothing, but merely kept his eyes fixed on Guinevere, as if he had seen through her in an instant.
She made a face, but simply walked away to sit in front of her dressing table, staring at her own reflection as she said, “Don’t worry. This won’t happen again.”

Shooting was over for the day, but when Stella was ready to leave work, she spotted Guinevere quickly removing her makeup and leaving.

“She was just passing the time anyway… Didn’t you see the look on the director’s face? It was simply terrible!”
