"When did you come back?" Lemuel ignored Verena and asked Eden softly.
Eden smiled and explained, "I have been back for only a few days. And I have been working since I came back. So I didn't have time to go home yet."
Cole, who stood beside, suddenly looked at Verena meaningfully, "Eden, who is she?"
"She is my new assistant. What's the matter?" Eden smiled.
Cole also smiled, "Eden, have you heard about the story of the evil stepmom of Snow White?"
"Snow White? You love to read fairy tales recently?" Eden didn't know what he meant. So he just smiled to reply.
Cole shook his middle finger, "No, no, no! I am not talking about fairy tales but the stepmom of Snow White in reality. Just guess if the so-called stepmom would play a different role? For example, perhaps she would be a kind of mistress who conspires to take over a huge and prestigious family."
When hearing that, Verena, who was just lost in thought, suddenly collected herself. As she raised her head, she happened to see the cold and disdainful eyes of Lemuel.
She couldn't help trembling again. All her limbs were rendered freezing cold. Though she was not the culprit who set up what happened last night, she still didn't dare to look into his eyes.
She really wanted to just run away!
She had no courage to face such a chaos!
"Cole, what are you talking about?" Eden was quite confused by his meaningful words.
"Well, actually, I would like to say…" Cole prolonged his voice deliberately and fixed his eyes on Verena. Then he continued, "Actually, the stepmom of Snow White also plays a role as…"
When hearing that, Verena couldn't help taking a deep breath and she pinched her thighs hard with both hands out of nervousness. But she still tried to pretend to be calm.
Since Eden was their brother, he would know about her real identity sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. As Cole wanted to tell him, just let it be.
However, a crew member came over and hurried to say, "Time to shoot!"
Hearing that, Eden nodded and looked at Lemuel with a smile, "Well, sorry for that. Lemuel, let me pay you a feast tomorrow to make up for it."
Cole went between them and put his arm on Eden's shoulder while resting another on Lemuel's.
"Since Eden is going to pay for it, of course I will join in tomorrow!"
"Okay." Lemuel then said, "I have a meeting in the company later. I need to leave now."
"Lemuel…" Eden smiled and continued, "The road is covered by snow. Be careful."
"Lemuel, pick me up tonight, okay? I want a ride!" Cole smiled fawningly.
"I am busy!" Lemuel huffed coldly and then turned around to glance at Verena through the corner of his eyes. Then he strode out of the shooting site.
Both Eden and Cold walked forward together shoulder to shoulder. Verena sighed a breath of relief and followed them behind. She could clearly hear the conversation between them.
"Why did Lemuel send you to the shooting site in person?"
